Re: At&t will be picking up this phone
Feb 5, 2008, 9:14 AM
in the Sony Ericsson K850 forum

god i hope so. right now att has a horrible selection of SE phones. my w810 went through the wash and all they had to offer was the w580. some aspects of it are better but i still prefer the 810. the k850 seems like the reasonable upgrade for an 810 user. however, i wasn't going to plunk down the 400+ bucks to get one. got a phone coming up for contract renewal in july. ...

mp3's / media?
Jan 22, 2008, 3:56 PM
in the Sony Ericsson K850 forum

I've had the w810 for over a year and recently ruined the phone by washing it. I'm having a hard time leaving SE and the k850 seems like a perfect upgrade from what I already considered to be a great phone. Since it's not a Walkman phone, how does the media player rate? Does it still organize by artist and album?

You can use MP3's as ringtones. There's a ton of topics on this forum devoted to that. If it's a cingular branded phone, you just have to edit down the mp3. If it's debranded, you can use any mp3 as a ringtone regardless of the size.

they are pretty much the same thing. There is one positive improvement and one negative improvement though. + Has Walkman 2.0 -Only takes memory stick micro. A serious limitation on memory capacity.

don't use PC Suite. use MyPhoneExplorer

in the Sony Ericsson W810 forum

Forget about the PC Suite. It sucks. Download MyPhoneExplorer. A user created program. Much more flexibility and works a hell of a lot better. Many more features too. http://www.fjsoft.at/en/

If you truly have an unlocked phone, you should just be able to choose the full song. If you have a phone from Cingular, you have to cut the song down before putting it on your phone. Search the forum. This topic has been discussed in great detail many times.

GPS Kits for W810?
Mar 25, 2007, 3:38 PM
in the Sony Ericsson W810 forum

Has anyone used the Wayfinder or Telenav services on their phone? I'm wondering how well they work and if it's worth getting it.

New Headphones
Mar 25, 2007, 3:37 PM
in the Sony Ericsson W810 forum

Just wanted to say that I upgraded to the HPM-65 headphones (over the ear style) and they are much more comfortable and stay in my ears much easier. Also, I now have an extra headphone port that I just keep in my car so I always have my music with me.

they are small, but they are also raised up and have adequate space between them. i really don't have any problems with it except in the winter when i'm wearing gloves.

17.3 is probably the current one. i flashed my phone back on oct so i'm sure there have been updates since then

Why M2?
Feb 6, 2007, 3:50 PM
in the Article: Sony Ericsson Launches 4 New Phones for US forum

I was excited to see the new Walkman phone. Especially since it has stereo bluetooth. I have the W810 and it's the only thing missing. Buy why the M2 memory format? It's not nearly as as large as Memory Stick Duo. The MSD is much easier to handle too. M2's are so small. Although, if it has Walkman 2.0 on it, i may have to consider upgrading from my W810.

You may want to double check the directory that WM is placing the songs in. Otherwise use Disc 2 Phone.

Re: SE w810 vs Samsung Sync
Jan 4, 2007, 11:57 AM
in the Sony Ericsson W810 forum

If you're looking to use it as a music player too, go with the 810. The main reason being the memory card size. The Duo's are up to 4gb right now and will only get bigger. Sync uses Micro SD which is only up to 2gb right now and probably won't get much bigger. The bonus of the Sync is the ability to use subscription music services if you use them. The FM radio on the 810 is a ...

i got my cingular branded phone for free through amazon. $12 to flash it. i think that's better than any deal online sellers will give you.

Re: the usb cable
Dec 19, 2006, 8:49 AM
in the Sony Ericsson W810 forum

can use cable to transfer music, photos, games, etc. do not have to use software to transfer. just a nice compression tool to get more songs on your memory card. there is an add on feature to use itunes to transfer music to a w810. i don't know where. search through this forum.

even on an unlocked phone you can't do it.

Re: 512MB limit?
Dec 15, 2006, 11:56 AM
in the Sony Ericsson W810 forum

bluetooth does work just fine, just not stereo bluetooth. however, people have been getting around the lack of stereo wireless by getting the fm transmittor that plugs into the bottom and then using a set of fm headphones. not the best solution, but it does work. i'm excited for the new high capacity memory cards but i really don't think this phone will be able to handle it. my 4gb card slows down the phone slightly. ...

Re: unlocked = surprise roaming charges ??
Dec 7, 2006, 12:54 PM
in the Sony Ericsson W810 forum

my experience has been that the call just drops if it looses a cingular signal. that rarely happens though.

Re: unlocked = surprise roaming charges ??
Dec 7, 2006, 12:06 PM
in the Sony Ericsson W810 forum

not at all. i have an unlocked phone. when i'm on a cingular network it says cingular, when i'm not it gives me a roaming warning. i think it's just some garbage they use to scare you away from unlocking your phone. sales reps very rarely know anything about technology other than what it says on the box.

yep, got mine on amazon. it was free after the rebates.

Re: branded or unbranded

in the Sony Ericsson W810 forum

There are tons of threads about this already in this forum. Just read through and you'll find them. ps, it's cheaper to buy a branded phone and unbrand it since it's basically free after the rebates.

no. any songs bought through itunes will not play on this phone.

Re: I think my headphones came messed up
Dec 4, 2006, 3:01 PM
in the Sony Ericsson W810 forum

you can also buy a small battery powered fm transmitter that plugs in to the bottom of the phone. the nice thing about this is that you can then buy a pair of fm headphones and eliminate the cord all together. kind of like stereo bluetooth.

Re: I think my headphones came messed up
Dec 4, 2006, 2:48 PM
in the Sony Ericsson W810 forum

yes you can have more than 2gb, the 4 gb card works fine but you may notice a higher drain on the battery. as for the earphones, this is correct. they are designed to have the right cord is designed to go around the back of your neck rather than hanging down the front like ipod phones. it's weird at first but i came to like it a lot better. the cords are out of the way ...

Re: Using speakers with the W810
Nov 26, 2006, 10:46 AM
in the Sony Ericsson W810 forum

sounds to me like you either got a bad set of speakers or you don't have them set up properly (plugged in, charged, turned on etc.) there is no reason the 810 wouldn't play them otherwise

Re: AM I Missing Something?
Nov 22, 2006, 10:39 AM
in the Sony Ericsson W810 forum

ThaWiz45 pretty much hit it head on. It's about cutting them down. i don't care to pay for a bunch of lousy sounding clips to use as mp3's and the built in ringtones i simply don't like. because i'm usually doing something and my phone is sitting on a desk near me, i really like to assign different ringtones to different people. seeing as how this is an mp3 phone, why not just use the mp3's already ...

Re: Is there a way to turn the Screen off while on the phone??
Nov 21, 2006, 10:47 AM
in the Sony Ericsson W810 forum

if you have the d-pad set up with shortcuts (menu, calendar, etc), simply press one of the shortcut keys during your conversation. once it is in one of these screens, the phone will automatically shut down the screen after 10 or so seconds like it does when you are not talking on the phone. you will still be able to talk even though the screen is off. pressing any button will turn it right back on. great way ...

it's so small that i carry it in my pocket. when i'm at work (a desk job) i usually just set it on my desk since i often plug my computer speakers in to it. i have one of those vent holders for use in my car ($7 at target). it's nice for not only seeing who is calling but also for ease access when connecting it to my car stereo. i got one of those clear protective plastic ...

Re: yet another de-branding topic...
Nov 16, 2006, 10:37 AM
in the Sony Ericsson W810 forum

agreed. is cingular super restrictive? not really. There are a few things though. what it really comes down to is that this is a really cool phone. even with cingy's restrictions it's great. but without it's better. i posted a lengthy post about it earlier. my best advice is to do your research first. i used davinci and read their forums thoroughly to make sure i was doing it properly

Re: is there a difference between w810 and w810i?
Nov 15, 2006, 3:21 PM
in the Sony Ericsson W810 forum

from what i understand, the i is simply a geograpic indicator. there is a w810j and other w810's. so there isn't a difference because they are the same phone. and yes, your 4gb card will work.

Fusic vs. w810i
Nov 14, 2006, 9:20 PM
in the Sony Ericsson W810 forum

Someone in another forum was just telling me that the Fusic is the best phone out there. BAH! I compared that side by side to a w810i and the sony won hands down. Other than the stereo bluetooth, can anyone name an advantage the Fusic has over the w810i?

I know this isn't a forum for a Fusic or a w810i review, but if you are going to type in all caps, I have no choice but to respond. Fusic vs w810i W - can run music player while using other functions (games, calendar, etc) F - can only run one function at a time W - ships with a 128 mb card F - 64 mb W - MS Duo cards available up to 4GB; 8GB soon to follow F - microSD may be ...

phone and durability wise, its great. sanyo is the king at that. camera, music player, and overall design wise, it's far from the top.

in the Article: FCC Unveils Sprint's Next Sanyo forum

Ok, first I'm impressed you can spell the word "smarter" since the proper spelling of "nuts" and "because" seems to have eluded you. And another helpful hint. That key on the left side of your keyboard labeled capslock does a magical thing when you press it. And I do know what I want. That's why I shopped around for over two months. I used to sell Sprint as well. I am very familiar with them and ...

yes, i am picky. i'm looking for a good working phone that is user friendly. the fusic is tricky to navigate and the 2 separate music players is just plain stupid. and really, what's with the external antennae. i thanked the sprint gods when my nokia was sans antennea. seems a step backwards to put one on a new model. i really wanted to like the fusic but it just didn't seem ready to me. ...

Re: Question about the Earbuds that come with the W810i
Nov 13, 2006, 10:08 AM
in the Sony Ericsson W810 forum

i agree. wrapping them around the back of your neck is great. it helps keep the cord out of the way and if you need to take them off to hear someone talking to you, they just hang down your chest. and to the original poster. they are supposed to be that short because the included dongle is so long.

download the software and see if the w300 firmware is listed. if it is, i dont see any reason why it wouldn't work.
