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.

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!

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

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?

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...
