I know there are may themes but I am in a hurry and dont have many time to search.
I know most of the technical differences but I want to know if you think tha is it really worth to pay like 50 or 40 dollars to buy the w810?
Some other questions:
¿How can I know if my w810 (if I change it) has flash themes?
And ¿Every w810 has that hissing?
Is the screen really better?

No, its not worth it at all. Just new looks, same from inside.
Yes, it has flash themes, wanna pay 40bucks to see them? No, thanks.

Well - the W810 has EDGE. If you use online services, that might be worth it. The hissing sound can be fixed by patching the firmware, some phones do not have it at all.

If your W810 ends up with hissing, you're screwed, as W810 is not compatible with FAR.

Would have to say, waste of time and money. Can't see what you will gain with the W810, as here in the UK there doesn't seem to be EDGE anywhere! I own a W800 and house mate an W810, and he never sees EDGE, and we aren't living in some back water, but a major city..
Only personal but the W810 looks much like any other phone to me.. black! at worse, it looks like a nokia!!!!
The W800i.. now thats a sexy phone

If you don't like a joystick but you still like the w800i then the w810 is the way to go. The w800i's joystick gives problems after about 12 months or so although they will fix it for if it's under still warranty. W810 has been marketed much more aggressively over here in South Africa compared to the W800 or k750. I wonder why?
4 Me: W800i all the way. (when it returns from sony ericsson repair centre)

I think the best idea is keeping your w800. Do not change it, because the W810 is not that better than it seems to be. It is true that the joystick related "problems" (if you have with the w800, i don"t) will be history, but the joystick is much more better if you use your phone for playing games sometimes. W810 has advantages, but disadvantages too. You will lose the camera lens protection cover which keeps your w800's camera lens perfect. W810 is more lens is more vulnerable on scratches. I don't know about the EDGE, because in some pages (including Esato and the SE W800 white papers) say's that instead of EDGE, W800 has HSCSD which is not that bad.

If you ever travel to North (and parts of South) America, you'll need the W810's 850 MHz coverage. Though we techinically have 1900 MHz as well, Cingular (one of our, if not THE, largest provider) is on a witch hunt to convert everything to 850

it did it today and i mised say its worth it. i did get a Z550i first cause i liked the alu design, it reminded me of the T610, but the cam was afwull.
and now i'm happy with the W810. software has improved, although i still think there is a bug when i use disc2phone. the navi buttons feel much better, navigation key is something to get use to, but much better when listening to music.
don't wait just go for it, unless you want a K800
