D-Tox:
obviously the problem is not the phone but yourself... the review said it is even slightly better than the N90. there is the slight chance you have a defective one though.

With regards to the color. I don't particularly like the color either...however, the decison that Sony made was easy to understand.
> It's a "Walkman"--and they are orange!
> It's a retro 70s color
> It's designed for a Target Market (People in their 30s or younger).
To add -
> The design and construction is more condusive to an active lifestyle or sports activities. (The K750i has a tendency to flex because of the sliding camera door; and the button are not as robust and firm.)

To: Rune,
"Strange" ... are you joking? Verison and Sprint don't even use GSM. This phone is GSM, so Sony may not sell too many--especially considering it does not have the 850 freq. for Cingular.
With regards to the rest of the world. It's not been released in all markets; and, the US has the FCC and more restrictions.
In any case: The W800i is currently sold--in the US--unlocked and does not require a contract. Euro imports are more expensive than buying it directly from SomyStyle USA (Check Mobile City and Cellular Concepts). Plus, the Euro version has the wrong charger.
I think two extra weeks was worth the wait.
(This is only my opinion--I could be wrong)

It was easy to know when it was out. There was a countdown-timer on the SonyEricsson site for weeks. It was available when stores opened Friday morning.
All current SonyEricsson phones can be configured using the sonyericsson.com site--whether it's T-Mobile, Cingular, AT&T, Orange, 02 etc. It take about one minute to setup the phone. The settings are sent immediately via a text message.
= = = = =
Oh, people who are saying that the K750i and W800i are the same--have not seen them. There are several differences--including the firmware and construction.

Yo SE users in USA.
Seems strange but some people on this forum has been wondering when the W800 will hit the stores. In Europe it has been in the stores for a while. How come USA is so far behind the rest of the world in release dates?

The W800i was released today in the USA. It has the T-Mobile Frequencies inside--900, 1800, 1900. I went to a Sony-Style outlet. The Sony Ericsson rep. was there in the store. He had both the K750i and W800i with him. He said that the construction--although not as pretty--of the W800i is much better. I.e. Better plastic and housing. I felt both phones in my hands. The buttons on the W800i are stronger. The body of the K750i is more flimsy--due to the sliding camera door.
Good:
Setup from Sonyericsson.com for T-Mobile USA setting took less than 1 minute. I.e. I did not have to call T-Mobile to make the phone work via WAP, MMS, SMS, EMAIL
MP3 Quality is Excellent--Better than my Samsung D500.
Bluetooth works Great--Equal or better than Samsung D500. Sync with two other phones and two laptops--with no problem.
Sound quality via the Sony HBH-300 Bluetooth headset is better than with D500.
Photos are much, Much, MUCH better than D500.
Battery Life is better than D500.
Standard - Walkman, Panasonic, Sony, RCA etc. headphones will work with this phone--via the included adapter.
Simple drag-n-drop MP3 files to “Memory Stick.” I.e. I did not have to install any software to load my MP3s.
Unsure:
Menu system is a bit confusing and not as intuitive as D500--but more to offer than D500.
FM Radio is weak--due to antenna in headset.
FM Radio cuts out--due to poor connection of adapter at bottom of phone.
Signal Strength seems weaker than D500--but I’m still unsure.
Menu / operating system is slower than D500.
Bad:
Does not come with any holster/case.
Comes with only basic manual.
Did not find a complete manual on setup CD (no pdf manual)
With all that stated. It’s a mobile phone. And it needs to work first and foremost as a mobile phone. So, I’m still undecided if it has the call quality and ease of use of the Samsung D500. I’m speculating the D600 may be its match--or better.
