Thoughts on a SE W810i Please.

[Atari]

Hi all,

I'm looking to get a new mobile tomorrow as my current phone has just about had it. I'm very interested in the SE W810i as it does everything I'd pretty much want out of a phone. I can take pics with the 2mp camera, play my music with the memory sticks, and it looks like a fairly decent sized phone so it won't stick out of my pocket too much.

I've had 'smart' phones in the past (SE P910i, SPV, the updated SPV) and I'm not really after the same this time around.

Just wanted to know what your thoughts are on the SE W810i. Is it worth me getting tomorrow? I've looked around on the various reviews and the phone has got some excellent praises, with little in the way of cons.

Thanks very much
Atari

Thanks for the reply ChuKKi Ninja. I'm in a bit of a rush to get the phone as I'm currently using an old Motorola V600i (which is absolutely pants) as I broke my P910i and cracked the screen in several place

I've read about the branding issue, would I be able to install the firmware from the SE website? Or will I require an independent phone shop to install it?

Cheers for the camera issue headsup though, I'll make sure I check the phone out before bringing it home in the morning. Does it always do this after 5 seconds, or every now and then?

Thank you
Atari

Cheers for the replies all. I picked the phone up today after looking at the various alternatives, but the W810i seems to be an absolute corker of a phone

I did scan the first 5-6 pages of this forum last night but didn't see much there, so thanks for the headsup Spawn My phone's on Orange so I don't think theres much branding on it (unless I'm much mistaken).

Thanks again

Is it a GSM phone or an orange boxed one? As they are the worst lol

I think its a GSM one. There aren't any Orange logos on the box or on any of the material inside it. The only Orange thing I got was the SIM card packet.
