    So many problems transferring music

    The phone is great apart from three problems: 1:A frustrating time lag on the camera often results in photos being blurred as it takes a couple of seconds for the picture to take. 2: Sometimes the phone will not recognise the memory card, forcing you to turn the phone off and back on again in order for the memory card to work. 3: The most frustrating of all. Due to some problem with song titles, only songs titled a certain way (which way I haven't figured out yet) will play on the phone. I highly frustrating problem. If your willing to put up with these problems, buy the phone, if not buy Samsung S500i instead.

    The best phone I have ever had!

    This is a great phone. Sound quality is excellent, design is excellent, and the phone features are excellent. Not so sure about the games you get with the phone, but apart from that this phone is pure quality!

    SonyEricsson are gr8 phones

    I've had a k700i since they we're available in oz and the camera has just had it's day(pixelated)but still a good phone.Just got the w800i 3days ago and I'm wrapped,fantastic phone and a brilliant improvement on a solid range of phones.the camera is bit querky and the software is like all mobile software (dodgy)but short of buying a PDA it's a really good phone for music and techno lovers alike. would recommend it highly. if your not familiar with SonyEricsson take the time to read the destructions!

    Music to the Ears!

    the w800i is the best thing since slided bread was invented, cool colours, easy to use menu system, clear display colours make this baby the must have for 2006. You should shop around for a good price on this phone as I have seen it as high as $946 dollars in one store, go to www.shopbot.com.au to compare prices, best i found was a mob called Next Mobile (1300 302 352) they are based in Brisbane, another was M-Fone who are based in Sydney but would not answer the phone when i called. The w800i is 100% winner!

    loving it!

    i have the phone and i love it! hahaha! it's user friendly, *maybe because i had 8 cellphones already but.. anyways* the downside of it is that.. im more susceptible to snatchers and the sorts,anyways.. still love it..much better than a 512mb ipod,. and, i love the size, it's light too, it's simple, the camera is great.. and the usb connection!!things that disappoints me.. well just a bit, is that when sending a file through other mobile phones,bit slow but tis okay.. sometimes it also lags after i using the usb connection but it just takes about a couple of seconds and if you press the back button repeatedly fast, the graphics slows down,just a bit.. but really, i love the phone and happy with it..

    Good but had problems

    Overall it is a great phone. Great looks, memory capabilities and great as an mp3 player, but i have had alot of problems putting mp3 files on the phone and making them stay - they seem to somehow disappear or delete themselves - as have my pictures.

    Overall it is easy to use and looks good, except for these problems.

    The best phone .. ever...

    Had this phone for about a week, played around with all the settings, and also updated the firmware to the latest version via SE website, everything is easy and straight forward... Very happy with the purchase, although for speaker, I'd still prefer my loud e398... :)
