Just wondering if there's any major differences between the W810i and my current W900? I'm well overdue an upgrade and am still considering an N95 as I can upgrade to one for free on Voda but concerns over battery life are stalling me. I love my W900 but it's size and weight can be a pain with weighing down my pocket at times so thinking maybe a W810i as a short term replacement until my real next phone comes out could be a good idea if it's pretty much the features I'm used to but in a smaller, lighter form. The way I see it is this:

Camera/flash - I'm guessing it should be pretty much identical?
Screen - ok so I'd be giving that up as the W900 is bigger and better quality with QVGA.
Speaker - again the W900 I expect is louder and better quality.
Video - W900 wins again due to screen for playback and recording at 30fps.
UI - pretty much the same I'd have guessed?

Anything else I'm missing?!! Actually after listing the above I'm not convincing myself it's a plan...!

Also where's the best place to buy one from and how much would I be looking at?

W900 has 3G, W810 doesnt it has EDGE. W900 is realy realy rare, whereas W810 is everywhere. W900 has 470MB internal expendable mem, W810 has around 20-35mb internal expendable. W900 got NVIDIA 4800 geforce graphics chip acceleration, W810 doesnt. W900 supports QVGA 30FPS MPEG high quality videos and W810 doesnt. personaly id keep my W900 and get N95, two SUPER PHONES

I very much agree with Gucci.001, the W900i to W810i downgrade is simply a waste of time and money.

I personally would go from the W900 to N95, as a primary user of the W900i that is also what I am planning to do hopefully by the end of this month.

So far things are looking dim though

, but im trying.

You're wrong. W810 has a significantly better screen quality than W900.

perhaps in contrast, but in resolution it is well below W900, and the latter is more relevant in the phone functions and overall user experience.

the resolution doesnt benefit W900 in anyway. The screen is 101% identical to K750 in every way, maybe but not technically but practically.

It doesn't really matter, W900i has a bigger screen and I think it's amazing.

Yea there's no denying the W900 has the better screen overall especially for viewing pics and videos.

Ah well I'm going into my local Voda store tomorrow and so far it looks like I'm gonna gamble on the N95 as it's the only thing out there that I feel can match and beat my W900 for spec, cam, video etc. If the battery life does turn out to be too bad for my use I'll just have to sell it, pocket the cash and go back to the W900.
