it's been on my mind for the last couple of weeks... i've been wanting to get an SE phone after my friend got a W800i from hong kong and then w810i came out which made me really excited. but i could get the w900i too...

which would you get? please look at all aspects of the phones- not just how they look.

can you explain why?

the reasons i don't like w900i are:
1. it's really big
2. i don't like the swivel thing- i've heard it's uncomfortable
3. it's glossy so fingerprints can show up easily ^^;;;
4. it's a lot more expensive

but there are tons of good things about it too... which is why i can't decide.

If you're a girl (which you are right?) I would say go for the w810i because it's more for girls, despite the colour. My friend has the w900i and she regrets it because it is very big and the features are pretty much the same as the w810i right? The thing about the w810i is that it is new and therefore less common then the ever so popular w800i.

Btw do you know how much the w810i is? I think I might want that.

If you're a person who uses your phone a lot, the w900i might become a hassle to access it. I don't know about the w900i but with the w800i, the camera does lag a little, I am not sure about the w810i, perhaps it is improved.

I like the new button arrangement of the w810i more, so I'll go with that. Also, I like how they give a free 512 memorystick with the w810i.

Thanks Carol for the banner. Fleur rocks for making Owen look sexy!

The W800i/W810i is better than the W900i. Let me explain.

The W810i also has EDGE which supports faster transfer rates. The W900i is not EDGE enabled.

The W800i/W810i can be expanded to a 2 gig Memory Stick PRO Duo just like the W900i. So it's got the W900i topped there.

Also, the W800i/W810i both have a 2 mp camera, just like the W900i. So it's got the W900i topped here as well.

Swivel form factor? Have you ever used a swivel phone? It's gotta be the most annoying thing ever! Sure the W900i has a nice large LCD, but try opening and closing a swivel phone with one hand. Not convient at all! I know this, because I use to own a S700i. Additionally, the W900i is overweight, just like the S700i. No matter which pant pocket you stuff it in, you will never get use to it. It's like carrying a brick in your pocket, totally uncomfortable and unfashionably uncool.

In conclusion, the W900i's main disadvantages are as follows:

Bigger size and weight
Construction is less practical
FM radio is not a part of the phone
No EDGE

Dimensions and weight comparison:

Sony Ericsson W550 93 × 47 × 23 mm 100.5 cm3 120 g
Sony Ericsson W800 100 × 46 × 21 mm 96.6 cm3 99 g
Sony Ericsson W900 109 × 49 × 24 mm 128.2 cm3 148 g
Sony Ericsson S700 108 × 49 × 25 mm 132.3 cm3 137 g
Nokia N70 109 × 53 × 24 mm 138.6 cm3 126 g

did you even look at my response to the first person who replied? because i already know all about the bulkiness and everything.

also even though w900i doesn't have EDGE, it has 3G...

so far i'm leaning a wee little bit on the w810i.

Just merely recapping some main points. Excuse me for posting.

Clearly you know the bulkiness and everything.

Sheesh.. if you didn't want people's opinion, why did you even create this thread?

are there any pictures of the back of the w810i? i tried looking for the back...i think the back of the phone is important..in terms of looks..but if it's similar to the w800i then it shoudl be okay

if the w810i comes in white..it would be too similar ro the w800i right?

i wasn't bashing you for posting; it's just that you seemed to skim only bits and pieces before you went bashing the w900i. you seem very one-sided and narrow-minded about this =_=;

i guess so but there are minor differences like the keypad and whatnot.

orange is my favorite color but se uses it sooo much that i'm getting kind of sick of it =_=;;

i personally would go for the w810 ^^

Basically both phones are very similar besides a couples of things like EDGE on the W810 and the W900 being a 3G phone. So i guess it all depends on your personnal choice. I used to have a S710 which is similar to the W900 but changed phone after 3 months because i hated the design of the phone ( really annoying when you text-message ) and the bulkiness

personally... i think sony sucks. i currently have the s710 and.. i think it sucks. haha but.. since youve only given me two choices and both of them sony.. ermm i say the 810 its smaller... the swivel thing gets on my nerves and yeah. just my preference.

then again you can go look at nokia.. they have some nice phones out too wink.gif just a suggestion.
