Cause I had a look at one and just thought that it's not too bad, oh and cause my friend has one. Is the W810 newer than W900?

Your not paying extra for the UMTS, its no big deal really whether a phone has UMTS or not. The W810i has EDGE but you wouldn't ask "do you really need EDGE", its silly!
It just makes downloading faster and less painless - if you tend to download stuff onto your phone a lot - thats all, no big deal
If your a big man - like I am
- you'd appreciate the nice spacious keypad of the W900i and the screen is excellent. I find the keypads on smaller phones difficult to use.
Pros - W900i has more internal memory and a large screen and TV quality, full screen video recording and playback.
Pros - W810 is smalller and has a built in FM Radio.
EDGE is not much slower than UMTS.
Apart from those two, there is very little between them feature wise. If you don't like big phones then stick with the W810i.
The W900i is rare and they are sought after - especally the white unbranded version.

But you asked "do you need UMTS?", implying that it was an extra burden or something else to worry about when in reality, it is nothing more than fast GPRS - just like EDGE.
If you were pondering over whether to get a W810i, would it make any difference to you if it had EDGE or not - its no extra cost so why should it be an issue?
You just think the W900i is too

Keep in mind that W810 is to be cared for a lot, its quite sensitive.

@goledn then u got me wrong... i just asked, if umts is a must or not. to mention edge wasnt even in my mind, he has w810, so probably he recognized it already, that it does support edge. imo its useless to go for a umts fone, if u dont wanna make any video calls or watch tv, listen to radio etc

But thats exactly what I am saying. Take away the video-calling and UMTS and EDGE are basically the same.
So when you say its useless going for a UMTS phone, its just like saying its useless going for a EDGE phone.
Also, just done a quick check on eBay and :
A boxed W810i, BIN is going for from £150 - £205.
A boxed W900i, BIN is going for £200 - £325.
I reckon you could get either for much cheaper but thats what the going prices are for both right now.
Considering the W900i is quite a bit older than the W810i, the former is holding its price probably as good as any other phone out there.
IMO, if you CAN trade your W810i for a W900i then I would - if just for an investment.
I'm holding on to mine until a higher-end cybershot handset comes along- one with better Video recording.

@QVGA How come you say that the W810i needs care as it's delicate? I would think a swivelling thing with a cinema size screen would be more delicate. Is there something I don't know about my W810?
