Open the active lens cover and the W800 camera viewfinder appears onscreen ready to use. The camera shutter, autofocus and digital zoom control are at your fingertips - where you want them.

Sony Ericsson W810i

Wow!

I would suggest that you should go for the walkman phone thats phone is off the chain!

Though the ROKR is much cheaper ($350 -> $400) as apposed to w800i (about $700)
But I do know something else :-)

If you buy a K750i, it's cheaper and you can copy the same walkman software to it (its somewhat more complicated than that but you get the idea)

nigerian prices: k750 46k ; w800 50k. i think its cheaper to get the w800 with 512mb of memory card than buy a k750 with 64mb when a 512mb memory card cost between 7 and 9k.

even with the itune hype, the rokr cant accomodate more than 100 music on its playlist:note . . not on the phone itself; whereas you can customize the w800 playlist has much has you want.

you g u y s know the k800 will me out soon . . . its so so so cute!!!(www.gsmarena.com)

Apparantly the 100 song thing was put there to protect apple's other products.

I got a catalogue in the mail today, apparantly you can pick up the ROKR for $187

sony ericsson w800 it was made a music phone.

has anyone seen the momoslvr, i acually like that motorola phone

one of my friends got his hands on one (works at a phone shop) and he said it was really flimsy.

He thinks that there is going to be a lot of warranty jobs on them.

they're just slim n thats it!! i think the break easily too
