Hi ive had a few mobile phones over the years,and havent had a mobile for a while now,i have a choice of 2 phones,but im unsure which one to choose,i have used both of these before and think they are both good phones. mainly for listening to music via a2dp as i have a2dp headphones,and will listen to tunes whilst out walking the dog etc,i dont make many calls,i send more texts,and the phone will be used for the occassional game,family pictures and bluetoothing between my pc and my wife and daughters phones. i can choose from:

1: a white unlocked sony ericsson w850i

2: a unlocked black sony ericsson k800i

im told that white phones (w850i) is more in demand,but i think as a man id prefer a black phone,but COULD live with a white phone IF it was a beter overall phone. they will both cost the exact same amount(from a friend),but i can only have the 1.the w850i has a 1gig memory card,and the k800i has a 128mb memory card which i will buy a 1 gig card for as 128Mb will be too small for me.if i get the w850i i supsect id end up buying a black housing for it...

im not over impressed by nokia n95s or any other top brand phones to be honest,and just want a balanced opinion on which will be best for my use requirements. my wife has a motorola v3x,which she loves (and i cant stand) and my daughter has a pink motorola v3 (which i think is even worse!) but they are both happy,and i prefer the way sony ericsson phones function over,i know that much at least!

any opinions/advice/help would be really appreciated here by those of you with more know how than myself.

They're both essentially very similar.

The W850i is smaller and has a better media player (Walkman) but a rubbish camera.

The K800i has a decent camera but not quite as good MP3 player.

as i will listen to music 99% of the time through seperate a2dp headphones,would i notice the difference do you think? i think id prefer a better camera,but if the sound will be much better through the w850i,i will go for that one.

thanks for the reply my friend,very very much appreciated.
i have till early next week to decide.

Sound quality will be the same, other than the speaker in the W850i sounding slightly better.

The camera is a thousand times better on the K800i though.
