Well the V640i has been online for 4hrs 6mins, the signal has been rock solid unlike the Vodem and its also been charging via USB v2.0 from 13% to 91% - not bad considering the power drain of 3.5G!
Edit: T650i now disapeared from Digi Parallel Importers website too
but S500/W580 and K770 pricing looking good. Nokia 5310 only $379
But I'm very keen on K550i for $266 at E.I. for my son's birthday.

Thats awesome man. Let me know how the battery life is, cause I'm so impressed with the W910i. Its been doing 4-5 day stints on a single charge with average usage, where my V630i would do 2 days maximum, sometimes only making it through one day!

The battery only lasts 1 day ATM but that's because I'm using the radio/MP3 player for about 8hrs at work. I'd expect 2-3 days at normal use. Battery is a 930mAh BST-33; interestingly the V800 uses a 900mAh BST-33.

Is BST-33 the same as what the V630i used? My old V600i used the same one as the V630i too, and that was similar to the V800i apart from form factor. My W910i has 920mAH BST-39.

@carkitter: I feel you should have a look at this:
http://www.plemix.com/list-phone-sonyericsson-page2
Go to the page and make sure the currency is set to NZ dollars using the drop down menu in the top right. Then check out the price for the T650i. Also note there's free shipping to Australia and New Zealand until the end of March.
One thing is that it says "Waiting List" for the T650i, but it seems to be worth looking into anyway! Also, if you didn't know, Plemix seems to be a well respected company with Esato members. >500 said he deals with them often, so you may want to talk to him if you are interested!

Wow that's a sharp price! And free shipping! And the price on the SanDisk 8GB M2 - NZD$125 for a limited time - is stunning too.
I've registered on the site, I've just gotta check my finances can take it as I found another V800 cheap ($40) but in need of repair on TradeMe for my son to use, and won the auction yesterday.
I had a play on the T650i at PI today and loved it, but couldn't get past how small the screen and font was.
And the T650i is so thin! The same as the lower half of the V800! The dark Blue section is disappointingly plastic not metal and the salesman was not impressed when I said it was so much better looking than the K770i, because it turns out he has one!
The buttons are beautiful but take abit of getting used to as do the Flash themes. It certainly is the Best Looking
in the range ATM.
I just HAVE to get one! Now, where'd I put that winning lotto ticket?

Hahaha, you love your V800s huh? Well at least $40 isn't too big a hit to the pocket.
One thing I just want to point out, though you may already know it, is that the Plemix price is without a warranty. Its $50 extra for that. But then, going by your comments in another thread, you don't mind as long as its cheaper. I just wanted to make sure you're aware of that!
