i have on my w800 1GB memory stick, and it can support up to 2GB or 4GB i'm not sure, but i think it can support any memory stick PRO Duo (the sky blue one).

if you want to know the price of "bluetooth media center" chek SE web page and go to e-shop

                  Without a doubt the best all round phone i have ever owned, and it is this phone which makes me leave my digital camera and my ipod in the house, i decided to buy it after seeing and using a friends D600 which worked fine but who wants fine? I'm sure being able to plug your phone into you're TV is useful in someway, i'm just not sure how. People notice the w800, i've yet to have someone say it's ugly or badly designed, where as the D600 might as well be the D500 in looks, and the D500 camera was better positioned. All in all the w800 ticks all the right boxes, i would recommend it to anyone.

                    Hi adel (@doul) how u doing. Man I sent u a message to ur inbox but wonder if u reveived it. I was asking about the arabic site from which you can download application for sony ericsson phones. Please tell me about this site coz I need it much…

                    Another question plz: how can I update my firmware of the phone? Will I lose my data while doing this? And can I do it by myself? Or should I go to an expert to do it?
                    Please answer this question coz I got a problem with my bluetooth so I think that updating the firmare will resolve the problem maybe…

                      Ok heres my opinion:
                      i got the w800i a week ago. I LOVE it. I was gonna get the nano ipod but for a couple more hundred $$$ i can get a phone, an mp3 player, pic camera and video cam, not to mention internet usage. all the features on the phone are awesome no complaints at all. minor thing about the phone is that switching between pages or picture are a lil too slow. but understandable b/c it loads up 2MP of pic. file. The manual this phone came with isn't really the most informative out there. but don't worry cuz SE has a web support site. the video quality isnt the best out there either. but for personal preferences, i really dont care much. The software it came with hasn't work on my pc. tried a couple of times. i just wanted the disc2phone software. BUT i found out a way to transfer files to the mem. card. I have a sony digi cam that uses the same mem stick. so i just swapped the mem card from the phone to the camera so i can access the files from a card reader. then i just dragged the files i wanted to listen from my itunes folder to the mem card folder. and thats it! iall i have to do is transfer the mem card back to the phone and everything is good. Now all i need is a bigger memory capacity for the phone.
                      the newest thing right now, i guess for phones, is tv playback. which isnt a real concern for me because i don't want to pay more on my cell bill for a tv subscription.
                      Over all, i am very satisfied with the w800i. i found a place to get em cheap. well the cheapest i have found is buy.com. they have it for about $430 w/ free s&h for US buyers. I got mine on ebay. So if u want to buy this phone be sure to check out buy.com. i hope this review helped u people. if u have any questions, email me.
                      PS: i still haven't figured out how to turn the shutter noise off. i've tried putting the phone on silent mode but it still makes the shutter sound.

                            Got it yesterday, doesent work!
                            Cant transfer albums to the phone, phone is emty or files have no sound.
                            Calls SE "support" right away:
                            "It is a known error" tha lady says with a yawn...
                            "A sollution is on the way"

                            I cursed when Nokia did delay the release of the N91, but at least it will (probably) work when released to the stores.
                            Daam you SE for having this software problems and still sell the phone!!
                            Had exactly the same problems with the k500i, Sended it back 6 or 7 times, eventually got a new one which I sold right away!!

                            Anyway, will take it back and get a Nokia N90 instead, dont really like it but maybe it works.....

                              look boys n girls ive had both fones, i took back the d600 because it was rubbish to say the least and you can guess what i replaced it with! samsung just cant cut it like SE

                              SE is an a modern wonder, and if the speakers are in mono i swear u cant tell, they are that gud.

                              am sick of all these samsung users comin' on and tryin to justify why they made a mistake of gettin a samsung instead of a SE. why dont you people talk on your section?!

                              and at the end of the day who honestly cares!

                                If you want a phone for great sound and loads of space to store songs then go for this NOT the D600,this is a very cool phone

                                  I agree with James. The w800 is on EBay right now...i hate it, its embarrassing!!

                                    In regards to all the dispute over sam d600 and se w800... i wasn't sure about sam phone. though it was one of those cool flip phones samsung used to do. but seeing the kinda toy samsung made w/d600....

                                    Man! I mean, it's like a toy phone, seems it's gonna go break itself anytime!

                                    I was a big nokia fan, but when se came into place.... well that was a whole different storey.

                                    Sam d600 might be slightly better in cam n video... but it will never outstand features for SE!

                                      hey, adrian get real, there is a lot more the d600 can offer (PICSEL VIEWER (office document reader, PICTURE BRIDGE, BMW AND AUDI COMPATIBILITY AND AN AWARD WINNER,etc. I know adrian that the truth hurts.

                                      Even if you combine the brand SONY,ERICSSON, SENDO, PANASONIC, ALCATEL and sharp to name a few to form SONYERICSSONSENDOPANASONICALCATELSHARP BRAND, It still cannot outshine SAMSUNG.

                                      So why do you choose D600?

                                      SAMSUNG D600..................... SE W800

                                      COOL HOT......................... desperate and insecure ADRIAN

                                      You choose

                                        mm w800 display is 176 x 220 and i think if you have that large display on samsung you need 16M colors and no 256K, w800's sound is better without need the stereo speaker, mm that's all your advantage, does it replace all features i sayed about w800????
