And I'm awaiting its delivery.....

I'm really excited and feel like a little kid...

Does anyone else here have one?

It seems to have so many features, is the alarm clock loud as I'm a deepish sleeper?

Thanks

As most of it is similar to the k750i, which i own, i can say that the alarm clock WILL WAKE THE DEAD !!!. Never mind if i hear it, they can hear the dam thing in the next time zone.

If its half as good as the 750 then you've bagged yourself a real gem

That's brilliant to know

if its half as good as the k750i?? its identical in features and spec + more in the walkman and earphone department and extra memory i think.

Yeh ti was just a figure of speach to express how happy i am with the k750i although im using my k600i atm.

yeah the w800i is the same but it comes with better earphones, cable to connect to a hifi, bigger memory stick and has a "flight mode" where you can play the music without turning the phone on

I got mine around a month back and its brilliant! I know how agonising the delivery is, especially when your operator makes a right mess of your order! (like they did with me)

Last plane I was on (about 10 days ago coming back from Crete) you couldn't use a phone on board, regardless of whether it had a "flight safe" mode or not. It had to be switched off, full stop.

Seems a bit pointless really .....

Good phone though, I do like the high-spec Sonys. Being on PAYG though .....

i dont think you gonna get it anytime soon, o2 are out of stock, am awaiting stock so i can get mine exchanged for a new one.

You can buy a k750i case if you wanna change the look of your w800i. The same also applies to the w800.

o2 were "out of stock" with the k750i until i decided to take out a new contract with them. if i wanted an upgrade or went thru stores they were magically out of stock

I signed up with O2 yesterday and was planning to get the W800i until I played with that and the K750i in the store.

I prefer the K750i.

I wasn't too bothered about having a walkman on my phone and the K750i has a media player anyway that will play MP3s if I want t do so.

The only thing I prefered on the W800i was the len cover on the back, other than that I prefer the K750i and chose that one.

The O2 store I visited had stock of both phones, but only just as they'd had a delivery of them about 3 hours before I got there and I'd reserved one over the phone due to them selling VERY quickly.

If you ordered your W800i online or over the phone then there's aparantly a wait of up to 14 days. That's what they told me when I called up couple of days back, so I went to the store to see if they had any.

My mate's got the W800i and it is a nice phone, 99.9% identicle to the K750i, so it's mostly a case of preference. Do you want it slick black or stand out orange? Do you want a media player or full on MP3 walkman that will plug in to the stereo.

Having an Ipod already means I don't really need another MP3 player.

The only downside is that the W800i comes with a 512 memory stick where as the 750i doesn't. Having said that, I got my K750i free and the W800i was £30 on my tarrif, so that can go towards a gig stick next week.

It's a top phone.

It does seem hitty-missy on stock though. I ordered from O2 online (new contract) last Wednesday night and paid extra for Saturday AM delivery and got an email on Friday afternoon saying they were out of stock. Oh well, they promised to refund the delivery charge anyway. A couple of hours later another email arrived saying it was on it's way and it turned up 9am on Saturday

As I say - pot luck!

from what i beleive you can flash the w800 firmware on to the K750i, think thats what i would do as i prefer the look of the k750i.

Yeah, I've looked at this today.

You can buy the case, as mentioned by someone else before, for both these phones and change them to look like the other. You can also flash the firmware using Davinci to make either phone behave like the other too, so which ever phone you have you can make it look and act like the other as they are the same phone hardware wise.

I also found this on the flashing site. They were discussing the main differences between the W800i and the K750i

So I think I will keep my K750i as it is. I was more interested in a decent camera phone than MP3 player and it will still play MP3s.

It seems the W800i has MP3 features the K750i doesn't and the K750i has photo and video features that the W800i doesn't have.

And I still prefer the look of the K750i I think, apart from that rear slider for the lens cover. That's the only bit that the W800i has that's better.

I got the W800i about a month ago, and I am very impressed with it. I was looking at the Nokia N70 handset first of all, but as a digital camera is important now since my first digi camera died, and that I have been after an mp3 player for a while, after a quick look at the link below, this made my mind up, and am sat here with a smug grin knowing that I made the right choice.

Enjoy your W800i - I'm sure you will

Dunno where you got that from but if you go in the games menu you will see musicdj, video dj and musicdj.

Hi folks

Just to let you know that I looked at my order status and it says 'Awaiting Stock'.

Exactly what I thought, thanks for all of your replies

It was on the same site that was offering the flashing of the phones. I guess they are wrong then

Just to update that it is still out of stock and they don't think any will come in till early next week.

So be warned!!

My friend at Orange reports they will have stock on the 28th of this month, but a lot of those have already been reserved for delivery.

O2 I am not sure about, the person that advises me on O2 has been away this week.

Not sure if that store that I mentioned before has any in stock any more, I doubt it though. They get busy at the weekends.

My mate still has his one though, I am now trying to get it off him instead of him just sitting with it in it's box. At least this way I can get it on Ebay even if he doesn't want to for some reason

I got mine on Friday (spoke to Vodaphone on THursday so was delivered the next day. Mind you though originally ordered the week before and was then told it was out of stock and would have to ring again on that THU.

Nice phone, had a good play with it and now it's loaded with music

Im just about to order one on o2.co.uk and was just wondering if it comes with the wires to connect it to a pc, or if you have to get it seperatley?

You get a USB lead with it in the box.

It can also connect to your PC via bluetooth too which is quite handy, but USB2 is quicker for transfering files.

Thanks very much. Ive just ordered it the now. So im really looking forward to getting it
