So what do people think of this phone then, im going to be coming from a nokia 3410 and want a really cracker phone, getting new one this week and have my eye on the W900i.

Bluntly, it doesn't matter in a way as it will blow you away. From a 3410, its a big leap, so you'll gain so much. Have to get used to SE texting style though.

i agree initially i felt the 900 felt "plasticky" compared to the S700, but i actually think the locking mechanism is just different.

Have to say the more i use it the more i like it. Yeah its bulky, yeah its voda branded, but it is funky

Just got my w900i there, my contract doesnt start to the 5th of jan, so ill have a bit of a play around with it before my contract starts. Need to get a few games for it tho, free ones would be nice.

Am well chuffed with the phone, picture quality is quite good and i like the extra storage compared to other phones. My gig mem card has been whacked in and now i dont see myself changing this phone for a while.

any idea when this is available on orange? dads due an upgrade 7th feb and im gonna pinch his new phone and give him my 6230

Considering that Sony Ericsson already make the unbranded version for release outside the UK, I think it should be available very soon after the Voda exclusive deal finishes. I believe it will be sometime Feb/March from what I've heard.

But Orange sometimes take ages to customize the software for themselves so you might find it being available on O2 before it's out on Orange. O2 are generally happy to give you the generic handset, but only large-scale phone shops like CPW and P4U out of the retails shops will be willing to give you a non-Orange branded handset with an Orange contract (Nokia 8800 is a good example)

Does anyone have any pictures with size comparisons?

matt100 · 10 Jan 2006 at 00:00

jesus! at last!

finally got mine today.. black one which is nice but they insisted on flashing it with the voda software which has managed to crash 3 times already :mad:

Jury out at the moment.. I think I'm mostly looking forwards to my w810, had a play with one today and maaaaaaaan thats nice.

Brum Man · 10 Jan 2006 at 00:06

Did you specify you wanted the black one, or is that just what they sent? I didn't know that the black one was actually out under Vodafone?

Pics!!

matt100 · 10 Jan 2006 at 00:11

it didn't get sent, I grabbed it from the office. I work for sony ericsson (hence a bit irritated its not a generic gsm one). Pics in a mo...

matt100 · 10 Jan 2006 at 00:21

Brum Man · 10 Jan 2006 at 18:24

Cheers! Shame they aren't selling it in black at the mo. Although it's huuuge when it's open :/

Slightly ot, but do you have any idea when the W810 will become available, as i've decided its either the W810 or the W900.

Isn't it essentially the same as the W800 but with the joystick replaced and a few extra buttons on?
