Yes I admit the main thing which drew me to this phone is how it doesn't have a joystick. That was also the only thing I didn't like about the W800i. Still I think the W810i looks better than the W800i, I don't think white really suits phones, but then I guess thats only my opinion because many people think the W800i looks good.

I hope SE take the public's opinions into account and start making more good phones without joysticks.

      @Retrix in previous posts have persons wihtout that problem. But the main reason for this is - all of these problem phones are from the first batch. The second is much later because to fix the problem for market before send the phones. I'm sure soon will be firmware fixing the first batch's problem. I could'n find the exactly SAR value.. in the internet Manuels doesn't written,in the website too..

        I have found no bugs with my W810i so far and I have played with it a lot.

        As to the question about IM's I couldn't say as mine has the O2 software. I usualy get my phones from carphonewarehouse as their phones are always unlocked and unbranded but for various reasons I had to go with O2.

          Just out of cureosity does anyone who has this phone not have the flashing light problem? Because I don't think I've seen someone say they haven't.

            @Carbonize - Thanks. I also want to ask what can be used trough phone's Instant Messaging,i couldn't find any information. I guess at least ICQ should be used much easier with that IM,owners?

            @Jay - Carbonize's explanation is right

              Jay the people you bought it from possibly import them from China as they can buy them cheap in the Far East.

              crazy_boy yes the headphones are black but as you have a standard 3.5mm headphone socket in the handsfree dongle you can use any headphones you like.

                    Hi,i just bought this phone online(onestopphone shop),and I am a bit confused about the handfree accessory is in black color rather than grey as shown in SE website,and the PC suite pack even has chinese on it.I am not sure is that a FAKE one or not?Does anyone got the phone like this?
                    looking forward to anyone's kind reply,Thanks!

                      The W810i will record video in either 3GP or MP4 depending on what you choose. If you choose high quality it uses MP4 but if you say it is for MMS it choses 3GP.

                                HARDMAN:
                                now u know what kind of products Sony Ericsson has! they release W810 without proper testing, caution and did NOT fix d problems b4 it reaches d shelves, wow, is dat wat u call quality???????? if i were u i'd rather return it and exchange it for 3250 or any other more reliable model! for me, SE is always NOT a reliable phone (i had K750i b4 but eventually i gave it to my niece bcoz i can't stand it!) yeah SE has great camera, mp3 player but when it comes to what a CELLPHONE is really USED for it just DISAPPOINTS bcoz cellphones are really made for COMMUNICATION! that also explains y SE is behind the mobile market share versus motorola and samsung and that's a FACT! even SE makes a 5mpx CCD sensor walkman and cybershot labeled phone but if it has stupid BUGS and its NOT easy to USE with low signal, weak earpiece, screen becoming white, all black screenSaver, nonSTop flashing and d list goes on its FUTILE, SE will just keep on loosing market share!

                                    sofar i loved this phone , got it about a week now and all i can say is.... perfect

                                    only 1 problem with the bluetooth, it makes my phone freeze , but that can also be because my pc's bleutooth doesnt work rly good.

                                      Again to HARDMAN -
                                      [quote]-Have you tried the software update feature of the phone to see if tyou have an old version of the software?
                                      -the light problem is what SE set so you dont drain the battery. Under 3.5 bars of battery it will start flashing. With Vodafone you can get new firmware updates to fix this problem but i dont know when they will be released.
                                      -I believe the reason they did this is because it is a power saving feature. You can view the screen with the clock etc. that you are talking about by pressing the orange walkman button while the phone is on standby after about a minute.[/quote]
                                      Almost 100% is sure that it have new firmware for the older versions who fixes the problems! From the "problem" with black screen you make a big problem! When you saw for last time SE to turns off itself just like that.. ?! Even with the oldest firmware in any SE phone won't happen that!! If you want clock,then push one button and ready! It's not so hard..!! For the flash problem,missed calls and master volume it should have new update for this !
