Hopefully that will prove helpful. I messaged a few users. Thank you.

my 2-cents:
i have a W810i and i use it as a phone (obviously), an mp3 player (because its a Walkman!) and as a camera (since it has one with AF to boot!).
before i bought it, i already researched on its capabilities based on (it's) these three main features: what it can offer and what it could not, and also what it could possibly offer (after some FAR and XS++ tweaking, of course).
so far, i am satisfied and obviously delighted with it: it is a phone indeed (lol) with some useful PDA-like features, too; it could play my favorite mp3 tracks and it could take excellent photos! later on, if i will be confident and sure enough
, i would like to try raiderski v6.6 camera driver and maybe try to improve the already excellent audio driver with one of those readily available right here in Esato. this damn reliable Walkman really rocks and i am loving everything in it
i understand orin's predicament although i am seeing the issue as something more of demanding something from the phone that is obviously absent in it in the first place. hopefully, some smart guys (calling all modder and tweakers out there!) could find a way to the solution to this issue, which i think would also be appreciated by more guys like orin (and me).
peace, orin!

@orinlouis, I've replied your private message. I'm sorry I couldn't do so earlier, I'm busy preparing for my exams. Anyway, I understand your predicament and it is a very valid concern. I don't know if you were referring to me when you said some of us here are proud to not be using our phones as mp3 players, but I don't remember saying anything that could give you that idea. I use a dedicated mp3 player because I've tried it prior to buying it and the sound quality was good. You said it's expensive to buy two devices when you can buy one that does both. I didn't want to have to keep investing in memory cards when I buy new phones, or have to use special headsets to listen to music on my phone. Nor did I want to have to worry about sound quality, it's hard enough trying to find a phone that one likes, and also meets one's requirements, is it not? Besides, I use my mp3 player quite often, and I surf on my phone with Opera Mini even more. If I were to do both on my phone, the battery would be dead before the day ended. And I must say, the W810 has a decent battery life. So you see, some of us do have reasons for getting a dedicated mp3 player. I could give even more reasons, but I think you get the idea. Of course, I know you feel that since you bought a phone that's hyped up for its walkman function, it should live up to your expectations. You're not wrong to think that way of course. Anyway, you can get around the problem of your ringtones being played by creating a playlist and adding only the folder that contains your music.

@tranced, don't get me wrong, I'm not actually referring to the issues raised here. The OP PMed me and I thought I should just reply here since there are relevant points discussed here.

i was not insulting nor even thinking of you when i wrote that message. i did not know all of those reasons, and they are certainly valid. now, i understand more why you would think this way, so thanks for that. i did not mean to insult anyone, just to express my own frustration.
i am really having difficulty finding more people with this problem, and am about 98% ready to post this sucka for sale on amazon. it’s just not worth the money for ***me***. glad u all are happy w/urs, but for *me*, it is a no go. thanx for all of ur kind responses.

@orinlouis, don't worry, I didn't take your comments the wrong way and I can empathise with you. I'm really sorry that we weren't able to help you. I was really hoping there could be a solution as the W810 really is a good phone. In any case, since you've decided to let your phone go, I can only wish you all the best in finding a phone that does what you need it to. Cheers!
