This phones menu and functionality are great but there are problems. The camera is average but it's a phone so what do you expect. The MP3 player is average but it's a phone so what do you expect. But the fault that is really annoying me is what I call the black screen of death! For no apparent reason the screen goes black, there is still power because the keys light up, and the only way to solve the problem is to remove the battery and restart the phone. I've had the latest software upgrade but didn't solve it. Has anyone else had this problem? Could you fix it?

be aware if u wanna buy ap set..some unscrupulous dealers use 2nd hand hp to sell at 1st hand price by reformating and changing the cover..do check the serial number by pressing *#06#
if its a original set, the serial number must be the same..im not sure with the ap set..ap set has price difference with waranty from different company..different company has different level of QC. Whether they replaced their parts with other stuff, its another question.

I have been using a Sony Ericsson W800i for a week now without any problem until today when it just froze and I had to restart again.A brilliant phone nonetheless,I hope it won't do the freezing thing again.

The sony Ericcson website (well the Australian one anyways) offers you a software update tool so just download it and update your phone and you shouldn't have any issues with uploading music. Simple, easy explanation for everything. STOP WHINING!! Look for the answers. :)

But it unbranded. Seems like the Orange users are having troubles and a lot other people are happy with it. Def the best phone I've bought and i'm happy with it.

oh and Iguess whats why they released a more or less identical w810i to quickly quell the anger of dissatisfied w800i owners, telling people the only difference is edge in this release (Nope the software has also been upgraded)!
I have mine ordered as a replacement of Orange as I took my complaint to the top after finding the problems were in a large majority of handsets!

Hmmm I only sell mobile for a living so guess I dont know anything then :(
By all means go out and but this phone but a lot of people of dissapointed with the poor pc sync software, memory card bugs and errors, phamtom dissapearing files, corrupt memory card slot and then to be told of Orange that it makes calls and thats all they have to provide.
All the people slating me type w800i problems in google and watch in disbeleif as it shows exactly what im saying above, jeez bloomin fanboys do my nut in!

to leon:
which jungle did you came from? do you know how to use a mobile phone? i think you have such a gorilla hands. (95% of the users here agree with me hahahah.) so you better get yourself a nokia 5110 dude. i've read some forums about the w800i and there is no such thing that 75% of the users are not satisfied with this phone. i do have this phone for 4 mos now and i've never seen any single problem.

Disc2Phone is a program that is used to transfer songs from your computer to your phone. You may be thinking, "Wait, I can just drag and drop them in my audio file and I'm good to go." Yes and No, you can play your music that way but you're phone won't know what the artist or the album is because it uses the files the song is inside to find this information.
So, use Disc2Phone, it will do all the work for you.
Second, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! The w800, k750, d750, ALL can use a 2GB memory stick. I have had one in my phone for the last month, not problemo.
Any other questions email me or got to this forum: http://www.esato.com/board/

Ok I just Upgraded my firmware from R1N035 to R1AA008
Its Awesome!! I guess...
Well my question now is What is the disc2phone?
Is it like an I-Tunes? where you organize your music and stuff?
Well the way I put music on my phone is through Card readers and put em in the MP3 folder..
What kinda sucks is I use mp3 edited ringtones.. When I go to my MP3 player on my phone.. My ringtones are there as well..
PLS HELP.. anyone have a solution to this problem?
To separate the ringtones from the MP3 songs.
