Walkman

If we're talking Nokia then N92 would be a better bet for me, thats got 16m too and its a nice bit of kit. The E60 looks like a fridge door and the resolution (320X240) is terrible for the size of the screen.....But personally I'll not buy another Nokia as long as I live, and chances are I'll be dead by the time the get around to releasin the N92 anyway so it's pointless even talking about it!!!! I'll stick with SE thanks very much.

Nice to see you back again......although, I quote:

Striker- the resolutions is ust right for this size screen. if they had 320*240 on this phone then it would be like putting 1600*1480 on a 14 cm screen

No it wouldn't Ken, why do you think I bought a D600????? The D600 screen is superb, and I'm sure it'll be brighter and crisper than the W810, yet its just a couple of millimetres bigger and the 320X240 resolution is just right for the size. In every other department, the W810 would beat my D600 hands down, but I still think the W810's resolution is it's weak point I'm afraid.

Dazz

As I said above, I don't reckon the W810's screen will be as good as the D600....I'll be chuffed if it is, cos then the W810 will be mine! If not i'll wait for the next W or P Series with a better screen....I'm guessin a baby bro for the P990 will be comin later this year....

    2006-01-17 joakim- you do not need a source. it is plain logic. future phones are back compatible. not the other way round

    2006-01-17 18:36 TheOneDaz- technically it is not a rumour as sony have developed their new MC adapters. and if you look one of them have they red yellow and white cables that you can use to connect the phone to the tv/radio

    2006-01-17 20:54 RAPHAEL AUGUSTUS- it is the walkman key. if you press it the phone automatically opens the its dedicated music player regardless of what you are doing.

    2006-01-18 06:24 w810 fan no more- SE have realised that a lens cover is not a prerequisite for a phone. more an extra than a necessity. they have made a protective bulge so it wont break on impact. it is also behind the surface so little dust goes on the lens.

    2006-01-18 07:08 d600 : ( - rread my post to TheOneDazz

    2006-01-18 12:40 TheOneDazz - i think you are referring to the rokr E2. but the w810 should support a wide array of bluetooth earphones. if not directly bluetooth based then you will have to get one of those with a 3.5mm jack-based bluetoothbase and headset

    jake- design is different. better running software. less memory. no more oystick

    Raging XI AND TO ALL- remember there IS NO SUCH THING AS A PERFECT PHONE. we already had this arguement last year and last week.
    it would have been a better phone if it had that type of screen though, but then it would be bigger and heavier. then you would complain again.

    2006-01-19 13:02 TheOneDazz- yes EDGE can be switched off. less lasting battery is as a result of thinner batery

    Striker- the resolutions is ust right for this size screen. if they had 320*240 on this phone then it would be like putting 1600*1480 on a 14 cm screen

    Walkman- he was not asking about another phone. he ust wanted to know about the w810

      Striker, maybe Nokia E60 screen would be very good for you (16 million colors.. :o), but the phone sucks with its features, no camera.. and yes i understand, it is for businessmans :)

          Alrite Dazz!

          Been stacked up to the eyeballs with work mate, hadn't had much chance to get online.....

          And yeah, I reckon the black of the W810 will help with the screens vibrancy, although I am a bit gutted about the low resolution it kinda lets the W810 down. A 320x240 screen woulda made the w810 a must-have. I'd be defo buying it if the screen res was better cos I don't need the P990 any more cos I've got proper satnav coming soon.......

          Gonna wait till it comes out and have a look at one to see if I'm worrying over nothing, but a good screen is really important to me, I've gone from the S700 to the D600 so I'd not want a screen thats worse than either of those......

              Apparently, the size difference is quite small - the w800 has 1.8 inch screem, the w810 1.9 inch (posted below by Jedi_Knight)...

              From the pics I'd say the W810 screen is a shade smaller than the N70's screen, but the W810's should be crisper because although it is smaller, it has a higher resolution so it should look better.

                Is it for real the w810i screen is larger than w880i? what do you think the light of the keypad would be? maybe white? and how larger, i mean is it like N70 NOKIA's screen????

                  what i hate about the w800 is the orange/white colour & the fact that its not a good looking flip phone like the samsung e730.
                  the w810 definitely solves the colour issue. black is very cool! And waiting until sony ericsson produce the ultimate flip phone, i will settle for this bar phone. i guess this is their marketing policy, they produce the ultimate bar phone and wait until all cell phone enthusiasts buy it and then release the ultimate full function good lookíng flip phone! smart for them expensive for us.
                  i will definitely buy this w810 as soon as its released.

                      yes there is a difference. they have removed the awful joystick which gets dirt under it after a week and stops working. Drives me mad!

                            Would've been perfect if it had a 240x320 screen. 176x220 is just inadequate for a phone of this calibur.

                              w810 has a 1.9inch tft display unlike the 1.8inch at w800.
                              My opinion is that the black colour of e810 is much better than the white colour of w800, and judging by pics i think that w810 has a better keyboard!!!

                                Be honest...is there difference between the W800 & the W810 apart from EDGE?
