Sony Ericsson W810

i have had the w810i a few days and...i really like it. i'm not a big phone freak, but it had the requirments i needed: european bands, small size, lots of storage, etc.

one thing i notice is the body seems squeeky using the control pad buttons. especially the silver 4 way button. not a huge deal, but i thought the build quality would be a few steps closer to an ipod.

are they all like this?

thats the only way i can decribe this phone...the more i play with it...the more it does..I now have 200 songs..23 games..27 themes..its crazy...i love it!!...lol

Is this phone A2DP compatible? My 6682 is, and after having that feature, it would be hard to give it up. I love listening to my mp3's via Bluetooth, at work I can still help customers, but listen to my music at the same time.

Is the screen on this phone scratch resistant? I have a SLVR right now. The SLVR has a glass resistant screen. 🤨 😕

Hi guys. I am thinking about getting this phone if it is released by Cingular. Never been a big SE fan. Mostly Nokia, and specifically S60. I have had the 6682 since September, and before that had the 6620 for a year. I did try the s710 on my 2nd line but it had just horrible reception in my area. Even the 8 sales people at my local Cingular store agreed it was one of the worst reception phones they had ever seen. One in particular now has the W600i and says its better so maybe this one will be as well. I'm willing to try 🙂 soooooooo....how do you guys like your W810's?? How is the built in IM client for yahoo? I have never seen one that is as good as whats included in the Yahoo Go! program I have now on my 6682. You can even do the audible...

how do you check the version of the software on this phone(w810) and on the s710a

a few sellers with ebay stores are $125 less than buying direct from SE. any concerns going this route? also, does the over the air firmware updates work? i'm on a mac, and it would be a pain to update via a pc...

and if i wait for cingular to release, would unlocking be easy?

any other tips/preferred sellers would be helpful.

I have a questiion to those who have thhis phone. I was wondering if your able to uue the mp3's on the memory card as ringtones for the contacts? If so, i cant wait for this phone to come out.

will this phone be for sale from cingular? some people say yes and some say no. will sombody tell me the truth?
like a cingular rep

I'm in love with it and I haven't even held it in my hands yet. 😁 I have some questions though. Is the screen on this phone brighter than that on the w600i. I can tell is bigger, but is it as bright as let's say the RAZR? 😕 I like bright screens a lot and that was the reason the w600i had to go back ☹️ Also, how are the headphones on this phone? Are they as awkward as the ones on the w600i?

does this phone have sreakers like w600?
is the display bigger than w600? on spec sheet it says same # of pixels
😎 😎

I've been waiting very patiently since March to find out when this phone will be released on cingular. first they said Q2. I also read on Mobiledia.com that it was being drooped Q3. I researched, asked around, and still no real answer. When I returned my W600i because of WSOD, I made friends with a customer care manager from Cingular in Oklahoma City. He just called me today to inform me that fathers day could be the big day we all have been waiting for....but please do not quote me on this... Cingular does have a reputation for holding back release dates. I just really hope this phone comes out ASAP.

If anyone else has any release date rumors, post them on this thread.

Anyone know if Cingular will carry this phone? If so anyone know when it will be available? I almost cannot stand to use my current v220 phone any longer. About to chuck it 500 yards. 👿

I was thinking about getting the w600 as an upgrade but I hear the w800 is better all around (and thus the w810 even more so) anyone else attest to this?

Thanks! 😁

I have been waiting for a good music phone and can go with either a GSM provider or Sprint if I choose the Fusic. I had my mind set on the SE w810i with the drawbacks of not supporting FM trasmitter or stereo Bluetooth headsets. I seen the other post about FM transmit not being the greatest and would like to hear more about that, is it poor qaulity or distorted that makes it only so so ? Does it compare to tape qaulity playback ?

The other deciding point is the stereo bluetooth headset, how does that qaulity compare to wired headset ? would love to get rid of the wires but if the sound takes a big hit I would choose dealing with the wires.

ANyone have experience or compared these two phones ?

hey,

I'm considering buying the phone because from the reviews and everything it looks simply amazing, but I can't help but be hesitant bout dishin out the $$ if i'm not sure it'll work on my network.

I called both Sony Ericsson and T-Mobile and they both more or less guaranteed me the phone would work as a phone considering the 850Mhz band. T-Mobile on their website has network configurations for the W800 and the W900 but are lacking one for this model, however Sony said that their setup tool online would be able to configure it no problem and that the internet features would work fine as well. Since the T-Mobile guy tried to get me to continue using only their phone and the Sony guy obviously wanted me to buy their phone I'm hoping s...

can anyone verify if this phone has AIM,icq,yahoo instant messaging built in??? thanks

Seriously, I can't be the only one. Last night, I lay in bed trying to figure out if I could wait until Cingular got this phone, or should I just suck it up and plunk down $500 for an unlocked phone? I check like 4 different websites multiple times a day to see if there is any new news release. Does anyone really know if and when Cingular will get this phone? Or, what are the pro's to buying an unlocked? Please Please help me.

How do I set up to send email from my phone? I used to be able to do that on my 6230. Right now I can send text message and MMS, but can't send email. Help please...
