i think the k750i and w800i has the same interface...so no need to buy if you already have k750i



But if you don't already have the K750 there could be plenty of reasons to buy the W800i.

Went into an Orange shop yesterday and the sales guy told me he believed it was in testing at the moment. If this is true does this mean it can't be far off (as I assume the K750 passed testing and it is identical from the point of view of the network). If it is true does anyone know how long the process takes.
On the other hand he could have just been talking out of his bottom, I tend to believe this might be the case.

w800? the w in the name is supposed to stand for walkman. as in THE walkman. but as it stands, it doesn't live up to its name. limited memory is one. if se wants to build a music player that has a phone, why not include a larger memory. sure there's an expansion slot, but ms duo's are rare AND expensive plus what if your listening mood changes and you left the stick with the music you crave? what then? i think it's better to buy a t610 or t630 then buy a mini mp3 player that also doubles as a USB flashdrive. it's more practical. the interface isn't compromised and you get to store more data.

Strange assessment, what size memory would your mini MP3 player have? Somewhere between 256Mb and 1Gb, the W800 can take cards up to 34Gb (IIRC) in theory although currently 1Gb or 2Gb is the highest on the market. They may be quite expensive but you can get a fair amount of music on them.
It also means you're only carrying one device and it's much better than a T610/30. Much much better camera, better screen and so on.
I think you're mistaken.

A good buy, I've just got the HD5H (30Gb version)
It's a great little player but I still want the W800, don't want to carry 2 devices all the time.
Will be mostly using the HD5H at home plugged into the stereo, can't be bothered with CDs anymore.

A "Boxed" version san's manual should be in my hands early next week I was told, hopefully on Monday.... Everything final but the firmware and of course the manual.

I will also be provided the information on the significant differences between it and the K750i.... so just check with my site for the full review, and I'll be sure to put some photos up here for the Esato members to puruse...

When I used it in March, I was very impressed with the hardware on such a "Small Device"..... really tiny phone and the quality of the 2.0 images was impressive as well, considering the S700 is so much larger....
