Actually im thinkin about getting the w600 by sony ericsson becaz I like the OS and Dont really need a smart phone because im not a business man just a college student but if i was looking for a smart phone I would lean for the 5600 because I heard nothing but great things for this phone. Thanks for all the help I was given.
You may want to try the S710a. It is an amazing phone and you don't have to wait for it to come out like you would have to do with the w600.

I want a walkman branded phone becaz i would like to have alot of music phone combination. How about the w800? I should be getting decent coverage since cingular is integrating its networks. what is ur opinion? I tryed the s710a and had a horrible experience with call quality. Besides making calls the phone is absolutely wonderful.
Don't get the w800 as it is lacking the 850 band, which would severely limit where you can use your phone.
I have had absolutely no problems with the s710a as far as call quality. Actually, it is probably the best GSM phone I have had as far as that is concerned.
If you must have the walkman brand, wait for the w600 or w900.

I think i will wait for the w600 because i like the color scheme and the fact its smaller than the s710a but still has the same features. I heard the w900 will not work over here because it has some band 2100 i think and because theres no towers that will support it it will be a waste. I must say thanks for the advice and the patience u shown me.
All they would have to do is reband the W900 for use in the US. That isn't hard to do at all. I would guess that they would do that eventually.

In addition to my other reply to this post, keep in mind that the S710a has a memory stick slot and the w600 will not.
And the w900 will have the memory stick slot as well.

what about the motorola v635? That has a memory stick an basically the same features of the s710a an w600?
Transflash maxes out at 512mb (which is higher than the 128mb that the s710 will take).
I don't know if I would recommend that phone, though. Cingular decided against it after testing it for a reason. But it is up to you.
What area are you in?

Southern California area,92336 zip code. Im going to wait till November for the w600 and if that doesnt come out ill probably go back to s710a.
Oh, you are in the west....Go with Verizon....
They are by far the best for coverage and call quality in the west. I know from experience in trips to Phoenix, San Diego, and San Francisco this past summer. I had "no service" on my cingular phone while having full signal on my VZW phone.
