Standerd Memory is a Sony Ericsson Memory Stick 512 Meg (Upgradeable to 1 gig)

With the usual, infared and MP3 Capabilities, the W800 has a built in speakerphone, Voice Memo recorder, FM Radio and a Sensational 2 Megapixel Camera with Flash. Video Recorder too (1632x1224 pixels)

All these functions are packed into a Smooth White Case and it under 100g.

Sony Ericsson invented Bluetooth so it's safe to say the W800 has it.

Price wise, it aint cheap some websites in the USA have it for $850, Thats US Dollers By The Way

$1300 - $1499 seems to be somewhat accurate.

Its a great handset and most of the newer handsets with a heap of technology will be expensive, you need to ask yourself - Will i use them all???

[Greek Dog]

thats the phone i want!

 

[The Bandit]

Yes it has Bluetooth, it has exactly the same features as the K750 but is being marketed as walkman/iPOD phone hence the 512MB.....this is the one i was talking about the other day GD.

 

[MattyB]

Ipod has a massive 86% of the market share of MP3 Players so anything that can hold music is good

well i use the mp3 function on my k700, but cause of the 40 meg memory, can't fit much even when mp3's are converted to mp4 files. But the sound quality is really good

this phone has some awesome features, i checked it out from that link Bandit had put on. This is defo next purchase

 

[MattyB]

It's a lot of money man, you could do the same with the K750, just get a bigger memory card

Yep true, but im sure the W800 is gonna have some sort of MP3 software on the handset which the K750 wont have, there has to be something different other than the looks of them, cause it does have the music note button up the top in the middle of the phone...

What a phone

Hey GD you got any bulldog Screensavers on your phone like the ones that have been posted in the lounge???

 

[The Entertainers]

yeh it does have an ipod look about it

 

[The Bandit]

for people that want a phone that is also an MP3 player then this phone is perfect, you only have to carry one device.

Yeah it's got flight mode you can listen to your mp3's without having your phone on upto 30hrs of music plus it has a 3.5mm jack input so you can use high quality headphones

 

[The Bandit]

thought it had to have something to differentiate it from the K750 other than the looks

 

[Strong Bad]
