i used a SE K700i for more than 8 months... nice phone... but its joystick gave problems.... i'm from Sri Lanka... company said it would take a thumping amount(almost the price of the phone) to repair caus whole motherboard had to be replaced.... my only concern with the W800 is if it will give the same prob or not... on the other hand nokia phones are "hardy" build most of the time... ideal for high use... i.e. to take maximum use of the options... any comments?

GSM arena have put this w800/k750 v n90 war to bed. Have any of you n90 lovers read the report/seen the pictures. The SE Is the clear winner with graet MP3, lower weight and a greater value price. So stop going on the Carl Zweiss Optics stuff it means nothing because the phone is overpriced, overweight, outclassed and soon will be outdated!

to jamal
jamal jamal jamal.. i dun think you know what you are talking about hahaha. look.. you say that you can put 1GB (only) to N90? Do you know that you can put 4GB memory card to W800? and by next year SE is planning to make this phone support for 32GB memory card.
What you reckon?

Correction:
"the best professional cameras" I meant camcorders.

"nokia is devoted to ony mobiles". Again this makes no sense. Because SE makes only phones as well. Maybe you mean Sony which makes the best professional cameras & AV devices and laptops. On the contrary it seems to me a powerpoint, because we are talking about a mutimedia and communication device not only a phone and that's why SE is able to make the BEST of it in this price and nokia is NOT.

"its just 74 grams heavier" is a very stupid statement. 74 gr. out of 99 gr. is 72%. For example compare someone 200 lbs. with someone 344 lbs. and you say "its just 144 lbs" more!!
What happens if you drop a N90 from a meter to ground? will it dig a hole?!! Clearly it's more fragile than W800 because of multiple joints and heavier weight.
"w800 also looks ugly"
That "also" means that you as a n90 user beleive that n90 looks ugly, while no W800 user said same thing about W800.
"only vibration missing "
Yeah, ONLY vibration missing & it weighs ONLY 72% more and it's ONLY alittle bigger and it's ONLY alittle ugly an it's price is ONLY 100% more and you must be ONLY a foolish to pay for this phone.

"its just 74 grams heavier"? my goodness Jamal, that's almost equal to the weight of a handphone man (see ALCATEL OT 511 specs, it's 75g)
Jamal, if you need something heavier to do your bicep curl, get yourself NOKIA 2110, it's 236g.
for me the only thing in my pocket that need to be heavy is my wallet.

u must b a kiwi from NZ oscar.. all u kiwis r in love with SE. its just 74 grams heavier.. unless u r a weekling 73 grams is nothing. remember wat yaser said.. his friend's k750i broke from less than a meter from the ground. that just proves how weak SE phones are and it proves y their prices r so cheap. thank you yaser for that opinion u r the man! NOKIA ROX! w800 is small so it's keys wil be hard 2 control and press! plus w800's screen is not as big as n90.

To both Jamal and Yasser
Yeah im a kiwi, so what. And yeah SE is the best, nokia doesnt even compare. The W800 is like almost half the size and weight of the n90. The n90 is just so big, and the w800 does everything that the n90 can do, and more.

Ok first to 'wek' calm down about the Nokia thing I am an avid Nokia user. I have had service with many different providers and many different manufacturers and throughout it all Nokias are the most reliable in every sense.
True, they may be on the expensive side, but I would gladly pay for the peace of mind that I will probably never have to call about something wrong with my phone. HOWEVER to the person that 'wek' was writing to, while I understand SE maybe a questionable company now especially after I had that Nightmare aka the T610 for two weeks (most of the time it was in transit between the repair/exchange centers and my house) but you cannot go bashing a phone for no reason.
This W800i that SE has put out seem like a very promising phone. You have read the comparisons between the N90 and W800i, nothing more is needed.
Aside from that, I would not even spit on that phone for how large it is. I'd much rather have this smaller phone, with the same if not better specs and performance along with my Sony 10mpx digi cam. And just in case somebody wanted to bring up its big brother that other hunk of junk N91, I have a few things to say about that. SE is putting their phone out NOW; Nokia is going to wait until the 'first quarter 2006'? Right just like they told me back in June that it was going to be available in September the latest (I have the e-mails and names/rep ids of the Nokia employees). So while people will be fighting over that HAM (Hot @$$ Mess) people like me that have had their phone that is comparable for 6 months (probably a year knowing the history of this phone's postponements) will be ready for an upgrade to something that will be better leaving this phone (the N91) a relic and still highly priced.
I agree with ‘wek’ that expensive is not always better, I also disagree with ‘wek’ that cheap is always better. The best products have a balance between quality and price. SE is not a cheap phone, unless you are uber rich, 500.00USD is about 10 tanks of gas where I’m from so I would probably never spend more than that for a phone. If I wanted to spend 800.00+USD on a cell phone because of the name and features, I would just pay the extra 500.00USD and buy another laptop now you can go running back to your 800.00+USD hunk of garbage N90 and feign over its dumb features while I’m doing everything on my laptop and 10mpx digi cam. And when I don’t feel like carrying the computer around I’ll have my phone that doesn’t place 2 bulges in my pants (no pun intended *smile*).
Now that y’all are in your places let’s finish using this board for well founded opinions about this phone, and not b*tchy whims of the mind that make you feel important.

Na Jamal your just completly wrong. The w800 is the best fone ever. No-one can beat it!!! The N90 is crap, just look at the images posted by gsmarena, come on they are just so much better. And the size and weight of the n90 compeared to the w800, it just looks huge, and lets be honest no-one wants a huge fone, unless they are retarded.

oscar... SE can never beat nokia.. not in a million years... nokia is devoted to ony mobiles... why do u think it is the highest selling mobile brand?? yes w800 is gud but n90 is better.. its only a few cms bigger than w800 and only a few grams heavier.. SO WAT? get over it is wat im gonna say! w800 also looks ugly. n90 especially with the colour black looks very good.. its 3G and 2MP and u can put 1GB cards.. its just nearly perfect.. only vibration missing but no biggie! nokia rox!

great phone. Just one query that I hope someone can help me with...
I've copied across some photos from my computer via the usb cable and whilst they are shown listed in the disc2phone package, when I remove the cable I can't find them anywhere on the phone! I've looked under File Manager but no sign of the photos. Can anyone help?
