Come on, SE, release the successor to the S710a already!! (fix the stupid lagging menus) And no, the W900 doesn't count...]]>Jan 4th 2006 11:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/sony-ericssons-w810i-walkman-cellphone-now-with-edge-and-quadba/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/sony-ericssons-w810i-walkman-cellphone-now-with-edge-and-quadba/Jan 4th 2006 11:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/sony-ericssons-w810i-walkman-cellphone-now-with-edge-and-quadba/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/sony-ericssons-w810i-walkman-cellphone-now-with-edge-and-quadba/Jan 4th 2006 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/sony-ericssons-w810i-walkman-cellphone-now-with-edge-and-quadba/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/sony-ericssons-w810i-walkman-cellphone-now-with-edge-and-quadba/


Now about the W810i, this is exactly what I have been waiting for from Sony. I sold my S710 thinking the W600 would be a huge improvement, it wasn't. And now that I have the W600i, I would happily replace it with this phone. I originally liked the W800 but the lack of 850mhz frequency and a joystick instead of a menu button kept me from getting one. This looks like a great phone, I just hope they make it in white.]]>Jan 4th 2006 12:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/sony-ericssons-w810i-walkman-cellphone-now-with-edge-and-quadba/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/sony-ericssons-w810i-walkman-cellphone-now-with-edge-and-quadba/


#9, SE was going to release a sucessor to the S710a (which was basically going to be the W550i/W600i except without the Walkman software), but apparently decided against it, since it's disappeared from SE's global website.]]>Jan 4th 2006 1:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/sony-ericssons-w810i-walkman-cellphone-now-with-edge-and-quadba/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/sony-ericssons-w810i-walkman-cellphone-now-with-edge-and-quadba/Jan 4th 2006 2:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/sony-ericssons-w810i-walkman-cellphone-now-with-edge-and-quadba/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/sony-ericssons-w810i-walkman-cellphone-now-with-edge-and-quadba/Jan 4th 2006 2:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/sony-ericssons-w810i-walkman-cellphone-now-with-edge-and-quadba/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/sony-ericssons-w810i-walkman-cellphone-now-with-edge-and-quadba/


#6 not sure about Cingular as don't they still have a deal exclusive to Nokia for candybar style phones [and therefore can't sell another brand's]?

i don't know how much that rings true, as they sell the ROKR and that audiovox smartphone that are both candybar. from what i know, they definitely require the 850 band, which is probably why the w800 was never picked up by cingular.

1) Faster GPRS (EDGE)

2) More storage for SMS messages

3) MP3 support

4) Useful camera



The K750i came close - just missing EDGE/UMTS. Now this. Ditching the joystick is just icing on the cake :-)



Now to get someone to buy one for me!]]>Jan 4th 2006 4:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/sony-ericssons-w810i-walkman-cellphone-now-with-edge-and-quadba/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/sony-ericssons-w810i-walkman-cellphone-now-with-edge-and-quadba/


Filling up the 512Mb card in my k750i is pretty damn painful over USB 1.



Also, the buttons around the joystick look pretty messy to me. Could they not have just put > buttons on the side with the play/pause key like how the ROKR E2 does things?]]>Jan 4th 2006 4:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/sony-ericssons-w810i-walkman-cellphone-now-with-edge-and-quadba/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/sony-ericssons-w810i-walkman-cellphone-now-with-edge-and-quadba/


I hope both TMobile and Cingular get this phone as it looks to be a wonderful handset.]]>Jan 4th 2006 4:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/sony-ericssons-w810i-walkman-cellphone-now-with-edge-and-quadba/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/sony-ericssons-w810i-walkman-cellphone-now-with-edge-and-quadba/'>http://shopwireless.sonyericsson.com/shop/1/model/252470/accessory/249690

Sony is really getting all the mileage they can out of the "Walkman" name,]]>Jan 5th 2006 10:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/sony-ericssons-w810i-walkman-cellphone-now-with-edge-and-quadba/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/sony-ericssons-w810i-walkman-cellphone-now-with-edge-and-quadba/
As far as the walkman name, it used to be synonymous with music until Sony slacked and let Apple/iPod become the flagship. I think it's great they are trying to get it back.]]>Jan 6th 2006 10:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/sony-ericssons-w810i-walkman-cellphone-now-with-edge-and-quadba/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/sony-ericssons-w810i-walkman-cellphone-now-with-edge-and-quadba/Jan 6th 2006 4:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/sony-ericssons-w810i-walkman-cellphone-now-with-edge-and-quadba/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/sony-ericssons-w810i-walkman-cellphone-now-with-edge-and-quadba/


There is also a lightsensor to regulate the display light intensity. And the display is *very* bright.



The display is 1,9 inch versus the W800 1,8. Doesn't sound like much but is more notable than you might think.



I say extremely nice (my new workhorse phone).]]>Jan 7th 2006 4:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/sony-ericssons-w810i-walkman-cellphone-now-with-edge-and-quadba/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/sony-ericssons-w810i-walkman-cellphone-now-with-edge-and-quadba/Jan 12th 2006 5:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/sony-ericssons-w810i-walkman-cellphone-now-with-edge-and-quadba/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/sony-ericssons-w810i-walkman-cellphone-now-with-edge-and-quadba/Jan 16th 2006 4:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/sony-ericssons-w810i-walkman-cellphone-now-with-edge-and-quadba/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/sony-ericssons-w810i-walkman-cellphone-now-with-edge-and-quadba/Jan 17th 2006 7:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/sony-ericssons-w810i-walkman-cellphone-now-with-edge-and-quadba/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/sony-ericssons-w810i-walkman-cellphone-now-with-edge-and-quadba/Jan 18th 2006 2:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/sony-ericssons-w810i-walkman-cellphone-now-with-edge-and-quadba/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/sony-ericssons-w810i-walkman-cellphone-now-with-edge-and-quadba/Jan 23rd 2006 1:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/sony-ericssons-w810i-walkman-cellphone-now-with-edge-and-quadba/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/sony-ericssons-w810i-walkman-cellphone-now-with-edge-and-quadba/
