Just a few comparison pics between these two phones. Both are from carphone warehouse and sim-free generic handsets:
I much prefer the styling of the K810i, although the K750i's is also very good. The screen of the 810 does collect a few more fingerprints than the 750, but they are not noticeable in most light conditions.
The 810's joystick is less inset but has a much more positive "click" when moved in a direction. It's also black, rather than the silver of the 750.
The screen has gone from 176x220 to a 240x320, and the difference really is incredible. So much sharper and much better colours.
Whilst being slightly wider and taller than the 750, the 810 is slimmer despite the 3.2MP camera.
The camera cover on the 810 is far better than the 800. Not once has it opened in my pocket.
Like the 800, it opens laterally rather than vertically like the 750. On the 810, the camera software is not activated until the lens cover 'clicks' into the open position, whereas on the 750 the camera activated on even a slight opening of the cover.
The Xenon flash makes a massive difference in bad lighting conditions, helped by the red/orange AF assist light, which can also be used as a torch with a seperate Java app.
I will admit the keypad on the K810i does take a bit of getting used to. But I now prefer it to the 750 by a long way. The only downside is that because the keys are metal, if a case is used for the phone, you cannot see the keys in dark conditions.
However the keys have a positive tactile feel to them, and the spacing is perfect for me. I do see how some people will not like the design, so do try one in the shop before you buy it.
Here you can see the slimmer 810. Unlike several of SE's newer phones (eh. W610i and W880i, the Fastport socket is still on the bottom. In addition, the mic has swapped sides.
Overall both phones are fantastic, the K750i has served me very well for nearly two years. If you have the K800i, the upgrade to the K810i is probably not worth the money. But if you still have a K750i, the K810i is a fantastic upgrade and you won't be disappointed.
I haven't posted any comparison pics because there are hundreds on the net, I'm sure you can find some if you want.
