the w800i does have metal you stooges. Go ahead and scratch the orange band and you will see something metallic. Open it and you will also see its metal. Its made of copper i think

You are misguiding yourself, and others too.

Is the K610 as durable as the w800 then?
The k610 review said "the phone is made all in plastic"
So i thought that the w800 (feels like metal) where made of metal frame
Don't worry dr.david I'm sure you are correct.
I can't say for sure about the W800, but those who say the K750 doesn't have a metal frame need a serious reality (and politeness) check:
K750 metal keyboard frame:
K750 with the metal frame removed
Those same peep's who jumped to conclusion about the K750 seem to be the one's SO SURE there is no metal on the W800 handsets - so I wouldn't be surprised if on closer inspection it does infact have metal in the frame and they are suffering from the same foot-in-mouth disease that led them to claim there is no metal in the K750 frame.

Of course valid, Max.
I'm pretty sure most of the discussion was surrounding the middle chasis of the phone (described as the grey/orange band between the front and back cover), widely believed to be plastic.
Of course those who claimed there was no metal at all may indeed still need to look twice.

There is absolutely no doubt that the central body is all plastic on My w800. All you need do is take off the battery cover and you'll find the chassis is orange plastic - you'll actually see where they stopped spraying the metallic paint when look inside. Also, I surprised the K750 has metal on the faceplate - but Max's photo show it is. The W800, definitely does not. It is all white plastic. And, the silver on the back camera cover is all silver paint on plastic, as are the keypad and the camera buttons. The only metal on the entire outside of a W800 is the little metal bar for the wrist strap.

Actually true.
It's been a while since phones had metal chasis, that's all that needed to be pointed out.
The metal in phones now is just veneer, and although it does protect the finish, it doesn't really help protect the phone innards. The plastic chasis does that. The plastic chasis's of today are made of extremely strong and resiliant materials and are actually better than metals at absorbing shock.
The last metal chasis phone I remember is the old T28s - that had a quality cast alloy chasis.
