Just got the K810i today, just about to transfer my numbers over. I'll let you know soon what I think

I'm upgrading from a K750i (flashed with W800i firmware) and so far the only disappointment is finding out that the memory card isn't the Memory Stick Duo, it's the tiny M2 type, so I've ordered a 4GB card for £30 off t'internet.

I've got both, but have just acquired the new w910i.

The camera's excellent on the k810i, as is the media player, but overall I found it had too many features that I just don't use. I appreciate I'm not delivering a great sales pitch here, but if you want a K810i I'll happily sell you mine- only been used a couple of times, boxed etc- before it goes on ebay.

I'm also selling the w880i- a cracking phone, only changed because of my love for all things shiny and new

Cheers,
Simon.

Not all the relevant but I have the K850i and am using the "Walkman" all the time - cracking phone too. The torch is brilliant.

I've finally got mine sorted (couldn't connect my old SE to the 'puter to transfer everything off).

Er, it's a nice phone. Nowt wrong with it, but doesn't blow me away.

Just about to upgrade to the k850i from a k810i, so hope the new ones worth the hassle.
I've been using this program for quite a while now with no problems, syncs my phone with outlook as soon as I get within bluetooth range, and able to text people using my keyboard rather than fiddling around with the phone.

Highly recommend it
RRH, how much you selling those phones for? PM me if neccessary.

Just to add, the mp3 player on the k810i was actually quite good, although I didn't use it that often.

The K810i is as new, the W880i slightly more used. Looking at the prices on ebay, probs about £120 for the W880 and £160 for the K810, and would include next day p&p.

Two completely different handsets. As you may know the K810i is predominantely a camera phone with an excellent 3.2MP sony cybershot camera. The W880i is a Walkman phone and is far superior as an MP3 player.

It really depends how good you need this phone to be as an MP3 player. If its not your main reason for wanting it, the K810i still has a "good" MP3 player but the W880i has a better one.

Both have A2DP which will give you stereo bluetooth.
