I've looked and looked and i'm confused.

Theres a few key differences in the SE W850i and the K800i but they seem to pretty much have the same features...

I've wanted the W850i for some time now, the only recent release of the K800i has spooked me, the prospect of essentually the same features with the addition of a 3.2mp camera thrills me.

The only worry i have is that obviously there must be a catch somewhere with the MP3 player on the K800i, naturally the W850i is a walkman phone, desgned to play music, what makes it better at that then the MP3 player on the K800i?

Thanks lads (and laddettes if there is any :P)
 
Can't vouch for the W850i but sound quality using decent earphones with the K800i is very good. Camera is also excellent.
Had a few problems with bluetooth to start with but CPW service centre upgraded the firmware on the phone and haven't had any problems since. My best phone yet. Overall i would recommend the K800i strongly.

Don't forget that the bundles are different. I believe the W850 comes with a 1gb memory card whereas the K800 comes with none.
 
W850i comes with a 1Gb mem card and is a really REALLY awesome phone...

basically if you want the camera - go K series

if you want the Walkman - go W series... I think Sony are tried to split their products into these 2 categories...

For me I hardly use the phone camera so I got the W850i and I must say it is awesome..... really really awesome

Thats fair enough but what about greedy buggers like me that want it all? :P

the memory card isn't that big a deal i would have gotten a 4GB pro duo if i got the W850i anyway. i think i'll stick with the K800i Thanks guys ^^
 
Both are good phones, but the ability to play music isnt really a strong point for the W850 if you take the memory card out of the equation.
The sound quality on my K800 compared to my old W800 is far better. No hiss whatsoever on the headphones.
Music software wise, as has been said, the only thing that the W850 offers over the K800 is the ability to display album art & a megabass setting. Both of which, imo, are un-needed.

I'd pick the K800 if i was choosing. :)

That was my plan but amazingly they finally had the W850i and i had a last minute change of heart and got the W850i ^_^ very nice phone, still learning about it but who knows? ^^
 
The k800i is very good. The pictures it takes in low light are great with the flash, perfect for taking on a night out :)

The walkman part of it is very useable and can certainly hold its own.
