Hey there,

I'm in exactly the same position(due an upgrade on orange). But i already own a k750 and a p910 so i'm waiting for something new to show up (god knows what).

Personally I think the main differences with the K750 and the W800 are purely cosmetic(except for the mem sticks) so the final decision in my eyes is which one looks better???

Have fun choosing,

Burg.

@ Burgaz: The K750 has a nice sleek design and very similar feel and look as the T610 (which i already have) but the W800i design is also very nice as i like the mix of the white and orange! It really does make the phone stand out!

I had the same praoblem a few months ago. But the final decision was made by the fact that no one had a w800 in stock when i wanted one.

@ Burgaz: I always wanted a W800i as well, but it was out of stock when i decided i wanted to upgrade. I'm glad that i hanged on rather than going ahead in buyin the K750i which was £49.99 at the time i wanted to upgrade but now is free!

@ Burgaz: I have fallen for the original phone i wanted now and at the price its going on upgrade is very good but still fussing over the K750i as well! I guess its not an opportunity to miss either!

I've checked the Orange website to see what new phones are coming soon, but i'm afriad the W900 isn't one of them! There gonna be a Nokia 6280, Motorola L7 and Motorola V3i.

K750i or W800i .... K750i or W800i .... K750i or W800i ... ARGH!!!

I am so tempted to ring Orange and go ahead the W800i!

EDIT: I've been searching the forum on the W800i and been reading people's comments, reviews, specs, pictures taken with the W800i ect and to be honest it's really edged it towards the W800i now!

@Frubin

I've been with Orange for 8+ years, but everytime I phoned them over the past week or so, I got a different story.

To cut a long story short, I never got a k750 or w800 offered free.
At one point I was offered a Nokia 6680 free, but when I called back later that day to take it up, they said they had no record of me being offered that - and instead offered me the same list they offered you. And told me the k750 would be £49.99 and the w800 £99.99 to upgrade.

So, I asked to be put through to disconnections, assuming they'd try to talk me out of it... and they didn't even try. Just gave me my PAC code and "good bye".

I've now got a w800 on O2 - free - £25/month.

And, after all my initial reservations (my k700 was awful) it's pretty good. In fact, it's more than that. Only a couple of niggles - the Walkman s/w isn't quite as slick as it should be, and I haven't been able to pair my Bluetooth headset yet.

I'm told Orange aren't trying to keep customers for some reason. You might get lucky if you speak to the right person, but I wouldn't be too bothered about switching networks to get what you want.

@ tot-shots: I know. I phoned up Orange customer services and Upgrade and different people whom i spoke to do produce a different story regarding upgrades. That 's why i didn't decided to go ahead with upgrading to a K750i at £49.99 at the point i did want to upgrade as i knew things would change regarding handsets.

Disconnecting from Orange was my last resort, but i guess if you keep nagging at them, they will eventually give what you want to keep you happy and stay with them. In a way it's your gain. It also depends what kind of person you get on the other end of the phone as well, as some are willing to bend-backwards for you and offer you a good deal in-order to keep you on thier network and contact.

I've contacted Orange Upgrade and decided to go for the W800i as a result as i don't know how long the handset will be on this upgrade offer/price! I think i will be very happy with my new W800! I just can't wait!
