Phone looks ok, but like any music phone, pretty useless if you already have a music player.]]>Jan 15th 2006 10:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/Jan 15th 2006 10:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/Jan 15th 2006 10:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/Jan 15th 2006 10:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/


I can dig that. By the time I have free cash, the price will have dropped a bit and 2gb Pro Duos should be a little less... how can I put this... bank-breaking.]]>Jan 15th 2006 10:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/Jan 15th 2006 10:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/Jan 15th 2006 11:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/Jan 16th 2006 12:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/

I wonder if phone companies keep this mind, that eventually make products where people won't need to but anymore, but then again I am unique individual :)]]>Jan 16th 2006 12:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/Jan 16th 2006 12:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/Jan 16th 2006 12:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/Jan 16th 2006 2:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/Jan 16th 2006 2:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/

Upgraded memory (albeit on a memory stick - included with phone) give a lot of storage for photos, other media and of course music. Even if you don't use the music player functions, the mp3s sound way better than a lot of bought ringtones from websites/services, plus you can have whichever ones you like (and a variety of them on the large memory stick).



If the screen is anything like the K750i it will show up a good amount of fingerprints in the right light. When the screen (backlight) is on you'll be pressed to see any though - or you can just give it a wipe!]]>Jan 16th 2006 6:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/
Sony really needs to drop the price of Memory Sticks, a 4 gig stick costs much more than three times as much 4 gig iPod nano (Amazon UK prices), utterly ridiculous.



Also, SE need to sort out some kind of tag-based (artist/album/genre) browsing for their Walkman interface, for anyone who does shell out for a 1gb-plus stick, navigating by the exisitng folders and playlists setup must be a nightmare.]]>Jan 16th 2006 7:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/


This phone is going to be like $499 since it will have to be bought without a plan. How can they expect these things to sell if no carriers pick them up.]]>Jan 16th 2006 8:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/


But to the phone - looks okay, but what happened to the funky white/orange of the W800i? This is very sombre and business-like, plus the 2 new buttons on the front look like a bit of an after-thought.]]>Jan 16th 2006 8:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/


BTW, comparing MemoryStick prices to the Nano is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard - comparing SanDisk's retail for the Ultra II SD and MS Pro Duo 2GB cards: SD-$239 MS ProDuo-$229 Hey look! Cheaper!]]>Jan 16th 2006 11:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/


Seriously though, the t-shirt competition produced awsome results... why not open it up to the community?]]>Jan 16th 2006 2:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/


@#11 - Good point. But it will be a long time before a phone can hold 60g.



The problem is that most people who are hyped about phones like this are tech geeks who already have the music player and hense it is somewaht of a novelty only. ]]>Jan 16th 2006 3:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/


Otherwise, great video.]]>Jan 16th 2006 3:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/
I was pointing out that Sony expect more than three times as much money for a MS than something (a nano) which includes an equivalent piece of technology as a component. I made this comparision to point out how overpriced Memory Sticks are.



Another comparision which hopefully will be a bit more illuminating to you is that a 4gb CF card is £170, compared to £640 for a 4gb Memory Stick. As these are essentially the same technology, there is no decent reason for this ridiculous premium.

I hope this is clearer to you.

[/sarcasm off]



You must be using rather odd choices for comparing memory card prices, for 2gb cards Amazon UK comes up with £131 (the SD card you mentioned) and £171/£237 for MS made by Sandisk/Sony. You might find one-off instances where an MS will be cheaper than the equivalent storage SD/MMC/CF, but generally MS prices are much much higher.]]>Jan 16th 2006 8:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/Hopefully it won't be too hard for someone to do a case-mod. When that's available, I'll buy a w810.]]>Jan 18th 2006 4:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/w810i has no joystick and has different button placement...]]>Jan 18th 2006 6:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/15/video-hands-on-sonys-w810i/in gay ass mexico the whouldent sell me a w800i ,and they whanted like 600 bucks (rip off)
