> K600i vs Z800i, an initial comparison
Bookmark topic
ok, well I guess its inevitable from ongoing chats in the new phone threads that we're going to need to do this comparison so we might as well start now and I guess we can only do it right now from specs available on the SE site
K600i specifications
Z800i specifications
my initial comparison of specifications shows the Z800i has memory stick PRO while the K600i has an FM radio. The Z800i has motion eye which just means it only has one camera which rotates whereas the K600i has dual cameras. Both main cameras have the same 1.3mp resolution.
both are tri band GSM and both have the same resolution main screen (176x220 pixel) and colours (262,144)
they both support the same video and music standards, both have mini USB, BT, IR, same wap standards etc etc. Indeed apart from that mentioned above and the form factor I can't see any other difference.
In summary, and in my opinion, it really comes down to what form factor you prefer as to which of these you will choose
so... any other differences I may have missed or other thoughts on this comparison?

Its not necessarily only the form factor which plays an important role in making a decision, expandable memory and pricing are more crucial. with a 1.3 mp cam, pics are gonna be quite large in size and this in turn requires more memory.
However the k600 does look better than the z800 but thats my opinion

I guess those are the only differences but i dont think a comparison would be correct at the moment as the prices of both are not known. Personally i dont like flip (or swivel,slide etc) phones n also use a lot of fm but then the z800 has mem expansion possibilities. I would like to go for the k600 but just coz i'm hopin it would be priced lower than z800

yeah I guess I discounted memory expansion a bit quick but with this kind of phone I personally have little use for any more than the 37mb unlike on the jam with a bigger screen where movie and music video watching is quite acceptable and on which I have a 2gb SD card
@clank, yeah I don't like folding phones either, well with a few exception like the V3

Is it just me or somebody else thinks that two camera's are a big joke? This too is a difference.

since you have asked the same question twice I guess I'll give my same answer twice

2 cams are fairly standard on a candybar style 3g phone and I'd hate to see a motion eye at the top of the K600i

I think out of both these phones, once summer comes around i will go for the k600. true the memory is a bit of a shame (so sony ericsson if ur listening fix it!) but if you are gonna use the mp3's for ringtones, like i do then the mp3 trimmer will be needed. and the rest of the time i would listen to the radio anyways. i have longed for a phone roughly the same size as the t610/k700i which is reliable, good features, looks cool and has a price range which is decent. i hope that this phone will live up to it, and yes one more request, make it compatible with the o2 network please! no more delayed or missing texts! In summary z800 good features, looks quite nice but does it have the style or mojo of the k600i????? time will tell

a german friend told me this.
K600: 500euro
Z800: 750euro
while the Z800 won't drop that much in price. the K600 will, if there are enough sold.
imo a fair price since 3G markets and custumors are limited and there for phone sales are much less then 2.5G handsets sales.
