which one is better? NOKIA or SE (or samsung or motorola)? it doesnt matter. if the product is good just buy it. cant understand these ppl, keep on bashing about SE W800 like it is a sin not to own nokia. i've never own a nokia phone. not becoz i hv any qualm with the brand, it just that i couldnt find model that struck my cornea and spike up my testorone level (3230 is quite enticing but...not convince with the stability) maybe someday i would...

...gonna paint KL city white n orange...

    SE users.

    SE users, it is no shame to not be able to afford a Nokia phone. Even though the SE phones are "low cost" phones compared to Nokia, they are very good. In my experience people who want high end phones but can`t afford Nokia tend to buy SE. SE will always be a step behind Nokia. The reason SE phones are costs much less is because they are not as good as Nokia phones. Do you realy think you can compare a 500 dollar phone to a 1000 dollar phone??? Grow up.

        The N90 is better than the Sony Ericsson W800i. It may have a worse camera(still good though) & not as good at playing MP3's. But the fact is it is better at everything else. First of all Sony Ericsson supporter it's a smartphone. This already makes it BETTER! It has a brillint screen compared to the standard & smaller screen on the W800i. The video editing appliction is also far more powerful in terms of tools & options available. The video resolution destoys the W800i's measily 176x144 resolution. The phone is also very well put together. People say that the phone is big, chunky & heavy but I have one & have never found any problems with it. When folded up it is about the same size as a Nokia 6680, so this is fine for me. Lot's of people will buy a W800i as their won't be that many people who can afford an N90 so this is also an advantage of having the N90. The phone also stands out more. The only reason your complaining is because you can't afford it.

          The W800i does not work as a Symbian phone. I suggest if you want a good camera phone and Symbian OS you should go for the Nokia N90.

                  Furqan... yes you can change the theme in the w800. If you want to download themes go to www.myw800.com you will find more interesting theme than the original sony ericsson's theme. I would think that w800 is better than 7610, depends wat you are looking for. If you are asking for camera and mp3 players, this phone definitely better than 7610.

                        Glen Cove:
                        There is always something better...so what your point?

                        Zhongy:
                        No. If you want to change a phone--get a P910i, Treo 650 etc.

                        Gunnar:
                        Yes, it's a "brick." But that's not always a bad thing. Maybe the D500 is a better design--but then everyone is paranoid of the slide braking; and, flip phones break easier. So, pick your posion.

                        SE Supporter:
                        I've own the W800i, and tried the K750i. There are obviious differences; put them side-by-side and compare--please, before misleading people.


                        kenneth:
                        Be careful--be very careful. Is it a US model and/or that has a warranty in the US? The first US models were/are only offered by SonyStyle; so, my guess is a less expensive W800 is an import from someone that did not expect such a quick release in the US. However, I'm just speculating.

                          hi all,
                          intended to buy this phone but before that, is this phone capable of installing new software into it? I mean..work like a Symbian phone...? and where can i upgrade its firmware when a newer one is released?

                                    I`m sure the W800 is a ok phone, but the design is not good at all. Brick alert.

                                      First of all! There are some people who seems to have a hard time coping with the fact that SE w800i is better than the nokia n90.... I say that those who are jelaous of the w800i may shut up. Please...

                                      Further more, the access of the w800i in Sweden is very difficult. I'm getting mine the 5th of september.... SonyEricsson for the people!
                                      Adios muchachos!
