    swapped my d830 for this phone and it was the right choice, love all the function, the slider function is a definite plus, although the functionality of the slider is slightly poor compared to the LG chocolate. but overall love the phone, the free memory stick, faster mobile web surfing. love it.

          does the phone flash when music is on? and if it does is it only to bass sensitivity? and if so is it accurate?

            Sorry, k800i DOESN'T uses the same Walkman 1.0 software as used in the W810i. Pls dun mislead others. The quality of MP3 cant be compare to those walkman series. K800i is not as powerful as any other walkman series.

              I have just got this phone at the weekend and it's an absolutely awesome mobile. It's my 1st Sony Ericsson (always had Samsung in the past) and I've been pleasantly surprised. I like sliders so this was a plus factor with this phone and the music quality far surpasses any Samsung. It has some very intelligent features on it too, one in particular being the Track ID where it will listen to a song played either on radio or tv etc and it will tell you who the title and artist are. It's just marginally bigger than the Samsung Z400 and a bit thicker but it has so much packed into it. I'd recommend this mobile any day. Well done SE.

                    @e-show,

                    The keypad isn't touch-sensitive, but the plastic around where those 'dots' are is flexible and you press the button underneath.

                    BTW, I must say how very disappointed I am with this handset -I have been (quite patiently)waiting and waiting for its release and have posted on this forum at least 20 times, but now that it's arrived I'm appalled by the shody incredibly plastic-like materials SE have used to make this phone! It really isn't as solid-a-design as I's hoped and was expecting from them. I'm `now gonna switch to the K800i -which seems to have EVERYTHING, apart from a bland (and relatively quite large) design -although when compared with the W850 itself it's the same width and thickness, just a little taller. I personally am starting to warm to joystick-navigation (I borrowed a friends K310 and found it real pleasing to use). Remember, the K800i still uses the same Walkman 1.0 software as used in the W180!

                      its too expensive, and no autofocus means bad camera to me..i'ld rather get k800i ..but still the design is very tempting hehe

                        is the navigation pad a sensor pad, like the ipods or are those dots actually buttons?

                          I think this fone is awesome!!!! just a pity its only got a 2MP camera and no autofocus but stil 1 gig of music on this phone is more than enough. Can't wait to get it. Does anyone know when it will come to south africa?

                            This may be a stupid question but... It says that it has exchangeable covers but does that mean if I buy a black w850, I can change the cover to a white w850?

                              "how do you guys think? how much is i when it's released..? i'm guessing it's around $650 - $700.."

                              I guess: your guess / 2 + a little bit

                                can't wait for this phone to come out on payg, i already have a w550i, which is one of the best phones on the market, as far as i know this will be sony ericssons 1st slider phone, and what a way to start.

                                  can anyone tell me about its playback quality through speakers... is it better than 750 or w800 or just like k800?

                                      can some tell me the disadvantages of this of this phone ? please help me

                                        No the sliding mechanism isn't loose, but then again it's only been a week or so, so only time will tell.

                                        It doesn't have changable covers as such, but does come in white (and no doubt in due course you'll be able to get various coulourd non-official housings from eBay, that you dismantle the phone with the special tool first).

                                        No it doesn't have autofocus.

                                        Advantages over w810:

                                        Supports A2DP
                                        Better screen resolution
                                        3G/UMTS
                                        Improved music player
                                        Bundled 1GB MSPD
                                        (Awesome design)

                                        Disadvantages:

                                        No autofocus
                                        Only one LED flash (W180 has two)
                                        Slightly thicker

                                        That's pretty much it...
