lalaland Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 My girlfriend has that phone, they are very nice. However if you want something slightly better get the Sony Ericsson K800i. The N80 is pants, Nokia have gone down hill over the last few years. If you want the best phones look towards SE. Nokia for some reason are going chunky and clunky, Motorola use outdated software and the others tend not to be a patch on the new generation of SE phones. The one you are looking at is very good, but if you want to add a much better camera then take a look at the K800i, I have one and can't fault it.

Lee2 Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Have to Agree I've recently bought the K800i and it is pretty similar to the W850i apart from the fact that the camera is much better on the K800i (3.2 mega pixel). This is my first Ericsson phone and I wouldn't go back to Nokia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sufc_tom Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 I got the w850i on monday and I think its a good little phone considering I got a 1gb memory stick in it I can connect to read from my laptop and put in a digi camera if needs be. My faith in nokia has gone - the nokia pc suite software isn't very good at all for a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lalaland Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 The K800i was released before the W850i, but the K800i is one of the top models in the SE range at present, you'll be hard pressed to beat it at the moment on the phone market. It's camera is without a doubt the best on the market at the moment with it's Cybershot features, it's 3G (can be used in the 2G mode or you can wait another few weeks and buy the 2G only version if you want but there's no point), the menus are very friendly and the phone works perfectly. This is the kind of phone that Nokia should be making after years of them being on top only to be beaten senseless by Sonyericssons now. I have this phone and have had it for about 4 months now and would not go to any other phone on the market at present. I got my handset free from O2 and pay £35 per month and get 1,000 any time any network minutes (for voice or video) and 150 messages per month. Since I got my K800i, 4 of my mates have got them and several people at work have got them, so it's a very impressive phone that tends to result in everyone you know wanting one It's also quite handy as I have satnav software running on it and intend to use it as a backup should my girlfriend be borrowing my Garmin for whatever reason. Between the W850i and the K800i I would take the K800i every time. The W850i is an excellent phone, but the K800i is better without a doubt. And to answer the question of cameras between the 2, the K800i is a Cybershot camera and phone in one, the W850i is a camera phone. That in itself should tell you that the K800i is miles better for photos and videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but in a fight mine would win yours Must agree with your opinion on nokia...SE have proven that they make much better handsets according to a salesmen friend of mine on this forum!

lalaland Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Nokia used to be the handsets to go for, but these days they aren't up to much and there are many others out there to shame them. SE make the best handsets at present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
