    This is a totally wonderful phone. I traded it out for a Z610, and I missed my W800 right away. I dropped it over 100 times, got it waterlogged, accidentally stepped on it with my boot and it was fine. For the time when it came out, it was definitely one of the best phones ever.

      Although the rubber on the joy stick removed due to rubbing of the joy stick but i replaced the rubber with an orange stone from a shirt i used to use and no more problems people tot it was a diamond so if u've had the sample problems now u know the solution anymore question just mail me fineemina@operamail.com

        if ur phone restarts simply back up ur sms, contacts, bookmarks and remove ur memeory card from the phone and run a master reset it would solve the problems and if u are still not satisfied with the results the delete some heavy memory consumption files from either games folder or application folder and ur phone would b perfect and always remember to leave free memory on the phone to run applications and games without problems i had one for over a year and sold it for a P990 not that the phone was bad i sold it bcos my brother got himself a w850i and my phone felt inferior so i got my self a P990i but in all i give the phone 9/10.

        the only thing i do not like about the phone is the fact that when u play videos it kind of pixellated apart from that it is the perfect phone even some java application i used to run on it does not play on my P990i.

        I used a 2GB memory card with mine and had no issues at all cos i had about 600 tracks and about 7 full length movies and so people used to get jealous.

        Anyone considering this phone can buy it, its a wonderful PHONE

                to dirk,
                sorry 4 late reply. was busy. so since this operation involves modifying the system files of the mobile, there is a risk your fone can be dead if and only if you dont know what you are doing. so you need to back up your system file(GDFS) by XS++. then if u've done something wrong you cam always restore your fone from the back up. i can show you how this can be done but i take no responsibilty for what your r doing with your fone.

                    dirk, to increase the sms storage capacity you need to install "Far Manager" and some usb drivers. then you need to edit some system files on the mobile. and u can store upto 30000 sms

                        perfect 10 for its, design, features and performance coz everything that this fone has was perfectly featured on this fone. Effective flash for cam and video, lens cover for protection, small, lightweight, handy, simply the best!

                            Absolutely love this piece of ugly looking phone...
                            Thats what it is absolutely ugly but it works as a dream no restarting when dropped no screen cracks no distortion only problem is the volume it is too low on the speaker and low on the earpiece.I must have dropped it atleast 100 times and if any seafarer there they will know what is bay of biscay and during rolling in my watch left it on the port hole when i came back found it on the floor rolling b/h to b/h i was absolutely shocked to find it still working fine w/o any damage and am still using it w/o prob.
                            Planning to c/o to w960i when it is launched but will miss this baby.

                                My very good friend got this phone a while back, so I got to play with it. It is almost a spiritual successor of my horrid T610. S.E. seemed to have fixed some of there previous issues as the quality of this one is detailed enough so that the scroll wheel and buttons dont stick. However, the screen, processor speed, and camera are still sub-standard to most Nokia. The exterior is nice, but owners have to make sure it does not get scratched. Overall, its only an ok phone, not great.

                                  This fon would have been the best in the world if not for a few problems i encountered with it.
                                  The fon restarts for no reason.
                                  The camera refuses to function.
                                  The housing gives up after a few months.
                                  Its greatest feature is the sound quality.
                                  Its amazing

                                    Best phone ever! i love it, dropped it about 50 times and has never broken and has the best features especially the memory and clarity of the screen!
                                    -the only thing is the joystick has stuffed up and wont go down anymore, but i cant bare to get rid of it, thats the only downside to these phones

                                        I'm from the caribbean and ive had this phone for over a year now and ive ran into alot of problems with this mobile. Firstly, after constant usage the rubber pulp on the joystick falls-out and the phone constantly "restarts" by itself.The speaker is terrible. But on the other hand, its a good phone to use for music.
