If you are spending nearly $500 for a phone then you should be getting the best. If you are business oriented and need a smart phone, then get something from Nokia.But if you are looking for an entertainment unit, then my friends this is a no brainer.I used to own the k750i and sold it to purchase this. The k750i and the w800i are the EXACT same phones except for cosmetic changes, a huge memory stick for the w800i, and brilliant headphones that come with this.The reason I sold my k750i was that I was having constant issues with the software. It kept shutting down and gave me headaches because of it. It also had an unfortunately flimsy case. Most k750i sets have squeaking issues. So I got the w800i and man it is sweet. The case feels solid and sturdy. It actually feels like a $500 phone. Aside from that, I just love the Walkman brand. (I know how stupid that sounds)Pros:1. It has half a gig of memory for your music and sports the walkman brand -- nostalgia city for 25 year olds like myself. Plus the headphones are sweet as sin. They even come with three separate ear bud sizes. And when you put them on, without even turning on the music you can hear your heart beat... yes they are that snug. Plus they are extremely easy to put around your neck with the attachment that comes with them. The equalizer is also quite good, and with mega bass on, there is nothing short of an ipod that rivals this.2. Like the k750i, java games of all sorts for this set can be found on the net, though download with care in case something corrupts your software. You are better off downloading games made for/or by well known brands. [...]3. Superb camera and outstanding FM radio reception. The camera is different only cosmetically to the k750i, in that the shutter in this is handled via switch while in the k750i it is opened/closed by hand. I actually prefer the camera shutter system in the w800i.Semi Con:When turned off, I definitely think that the k750i looks sexier than the w800i. It has a beautiful black/silver look etc. The w800i looks odd when turned off, since it is basically white with orange colors. However when the w800i is turned on, there is NO competition. The orange screen and the orange back light go deliciously well with the case and it looks quite brilliant.Bottom line is that this phone rocks!EDIT:I just wanted to add a couple more comments. Firstly I still haven't had any of the issues I had had with the k750i. I also wanted to note that taking pictures has been faster with this phone. It could very well be because the k750i had come with older firmware (which can be updated from the official website though can be risky if you don't know what you are doing).But whatever the reason may be, every time I took a photo with the k750i I had to wait a few more seconds for it to be processed than I have had to with the w800i.One last advantage I have noticed is that with the w800i, the music library is superbly organized. Whenever I hit the 'walkman' button, I am quickly taken to a screen where music is organized by, "Artists", "Tracks", "Playlists", and "Videos".

As previous reviewers have mentioned, it gets to be a chore to carry around a PDA, iPod, cell phone, camera, etc. Especially when travelling and you want to pack lightly. The W800i does not replace any of the other devices, but it does enough of them to go comfortably with just this for some time.PROS:---* Great bass reproductions from the walkman/included headset* No limit on # of songs like ROKR's 100-song cap.* Can play music in walkman mode on airplanes/hospital and places where cell phones are not permitted* Plays AAC and MP3 files* Good battery life. Longer than my 3rd Gen iPod.* Camera quality is great for impromptu shots. Doesn't replace a good digicam, but is the best phone camera I've seen so far.* Comes with a strong light that you can use to light up your camera shots, and even flash SOS signals (seriously! it's on the menu)* Radio player has great quality sound and will show song title and artist text (for stations that support it)* Syncs with OS X/iCal/iSync via Bluetooth* Good Screen quality* Charges through USB cable* Menu/OS has decent UI compared to my Motorola V600. The joystick toggle in the center helps tremendously.* Voice quality from phone/speaker phone is strong and clearCONS:---* Does not play iTunes m4p files (purchased from iTunes music store)* The auto-typing/completion is a bit finicky and takes some getting used to* NO FLASH. There are some misleading descriptions out there saying the W800i has a flash. it does not. It has a light, but you will need to buy a seperate flash module.* All the plug-ins/add-ons such as the jack, the charger, the USB cable, the headphones use the jack on the bottom of the phone. This means you cannot charge it while listening to the headphones.* No AM on the radio. Just FM. In order to use the radio you must use the included headphones because the antenna is built-in to the headphones.* The battery charge meter is a bit finicky. Sometimes it doesn't rise past 83% even though it has been charging all night.* While transfering multiple files via Bluetooth, you have to verify each file by pressing a key, and there's a loud beep/noise for each confirmation. Better to just transfer through USB onto the memory stick duo.Overall I am very pleased with the W800i.

The W800i is the first "Walkman" branded phone by Sony, which I really don't care too much about. The K750 plays MP3's as well, but the difference is that this phone comes with an adapter with a 3.5mm headphone jack, while the K750 you were stuck with the crummy proprietary headphones. Still, I wish Sony just put a 3.5mm jack directly on the phone so I didn't need that adapter cable.Sound quality is excellent - the supplied 512MB memory stick is plenty for now, but if I really wanted I can put in up to 2GB of space using the MemoryStick DUO PRO. I haven't used the supplied Sony software for the PC sync yet, since I have a MemoryStick reader built-in to my Sony TR3A.What I really love about the phone besides the 2 megapixel camera is the speakerphone function. The built-in speaker on the phone is not shabby at all, even for just casual music listening. It is perfectly suited for conference calls using the speakerphone. The mic picks up the voice clearly, and I haven't had any complaints from the other side (they rarely even notice that they are on speakerphone).The FM tuner is a nice little perk, although you need the headset connected since it acts as the antenna.The user interface is, surprisingly, very good. It's intuitive and responsive, and although officially you are "required" to use Sony's proprietary software to sync via cable, there is an update you can download that allows you to use iTunes to transfer songs to your W800i.The W800i, for now, comes unlocked and ready to go on most GSM networks, which luckily includes T-Mobile. I just pulled my SIM card out of my now-gone T610, popped it in to the W800i and it was on the T-Mobile network as soon as it powered on. Reception has been good, the sound on the phone itself has been a little on the low side, but I don't think it's a huge problem since I'll be using my Bluetooth Jabra and speakerphone 95% of the time.So in all, yes, the phone is $500. But it's worth every penny in my opinion. I'm not obliged to a contract that requires to me to give up my first-born, and it replaces THREE devices that would have taken up room in my pocket (phone, camera, mp3 player).Convergence devices like this are the wave of the future, and I think Sony Ericsson is heading it the right direction.
