I'm glad you started this thread as I am having the same problem, don't know whether to get the w800 or w810. I need to know a lot more about the w810 before making a decision, so appreciate any info you can give us, pros & cons and all.

If you are into music go for the W800 because 4GB memory stick pro duos are already available and 8GB just around the corner. The W810 uses memorystick micro and they are only available in 1GB at the moment... If all thats not important for you go for the W810

No, thats not true.W810 uses memory stick pro duos too.
The drawbacks of w810 are: lack of cam shutter, clock, higher price, smaller internal memory (less memory for games and apps), batt life.
The upgrades: broadband, themes that change icons, screen.
The design is a personal thing, aswell as the joystick.
Just figure out whats more important to u and how much u r willing to spend, thats it.

I have has both and so far im happy with the w810. The design feels more solid all round. For example the rubber memory slot cover is more hard and not soft like was on the w800. The camera shutter will be missed but if you look after your phone and not keep it in your pocket with coins and keys ect, then it will not be damaged. Ive seem w800s with the lens dirty purley down to users not looking after the phone. As for batery life so far ive had it 3 days and its still going. This is with constant bluetooth transfers as well as mp3 and video playback in use.
People take for granted how good SE battery lifes are normally and although the w810 might be slightly less in spec we have tgo remember that it is still far better that pretty much any other phone on the market.
The video recording is debatable but i mean ive had both and for me the w810 video seems less so slightly better in my opinion. If it were 3g that would be great but for now GSM does just fine for me as the only thing i used to download were footy clips but the downfall of that is that they were locked to the phone only and could not be transferred. So i just convert my own clips in better resolution and enjoy them that way. If networks really want to enhance 3g they have to take of the restriction.

Hmmm I see. It's only the K800 and K790 that use the micro's right? In that case I would definately go for the W810

I bought the W800i in December as it was the best phone on the market by a long way (yes, unless you wanted a smart phone) and now have the W810i.
The W800i was perfection. The W810i is perfection made better.
Also, someone mentioned Memory Sticks for the W800i and how "4GB and 8GN are just round the corner" - Yes they are but both the W800i and W810i only support upto 2GB.
Q3 will see me in possesion of a K800i. I just gotta have it.

There has been confirmation of the 4GB working in K750 and thus also the W800 and W810 probably. It's in a memory stick thread... You should be able to find it through search

Just got my W810i. It is quite sublime! Can there be any other words!
My progression has been T226 > K700 > W800 > W810 - and I have been "wowed" at each stage.
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this but the rounded edges of the phone make for much more comfortable conversations - it doesn't make my ears as red or sore as the W800 used to.
The camera seems to be better. I find the sync capability with Lotus Notes a huge advantage.
The FaceWarp application form the SE website is hilarious - nearly fell outof my chair laughing at myself!
Cheers!

I'm happy to stay with my w800i. The display on the w810i is definitely brighter/richer when compared to my W800i. And, I do like some of the interface improvements (mainly the memory tags in file manager). But there are annoying things that keep the w800 more appealing to me. i.e.
1) I don't like the lack of a lens cover. Finger prints and dust get in too easy.
2) I don't like the white flashing reset when you unhook the phone from USB. It makes you wonder if there is an error. And what is with the stupid phone or file transfer option?
3) Accessing the W810 from a P.C. is a definite downgrade from the W800. I much prefer the memory stick coming up in explorer as a drive.
4) File access via a p.c. is slower and a bit flakey. e.g. error messages moving/copying files.
5) Finger prints stand out like dog balls.
6) Still has static/hissing noises.
7) W810 is more creaky thanks to dpad.

If you intend to use the phone to listen to music at non-loud volumes then I would recommend you don't get either the W800i or the W810i. This is due to the poor sound quality problems you're likely to encounter: hiss and digital artifacts / distortion.
