ok so I picked one up this morning. I wouldn't have bothered if it wasn't for the fact that it was an almost free upgrade.
I have to say that the white on the phone is a pretty tacky white in my opinion and the metalic orange is not all that good.
Turning the phone on I get the options for "start phone" or "music only", thats fine, and you can choose in the settings whether to go through that menu or not.
Next, I go through the menu to enter date and time only to find the default orange theme does not allow the cursor to be seen so you only know where it is by changing a digit.
The walkman button in between the two top soft keys is ok but I am dissapointed to find that it doesn't have any of the facilities of the action button on the K750. I'd like to be able to switch between walkman mode and activity button mode.
That said, the walkman features do look pretty good.
My son already has his K750 so now I have today to decide if I will keep the W800 or the K750 as my daughter now wants one of them...
any other initial impressions from people who got theirs at midnight or this morning?

My first 5 minutes was pretty much the same.
I, on the other hand, find the white and orangeto be a cool colour combination. Not tacky at all.
Having used the K750 the menus are well know but there is a couple of things I need to get used to; Putting a call on hold and calling up a contact to transffer the call is a bit of a drag (need to look closer at that), and avoiding to press the music button on the side when digging the phone out of my pocket. I did that on the train yesterday and the volume was on full blast...
All in all I quite like this phone!
I preffer the W800 to the K750.
