Yea, I may not be using them right away. They are not all that expensive either. 1 Rupee per 100kb as per Airtlel rates. (GPRS)

There’s no winning or losing here. I want to know other people’s perspective as well. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have posted here. But then finally it’s me who is gonna buy the phone. So I’d say my liking carries more weightage.

w810i is a good phone. I think I am not going to go for 790i afterall. k810i seems to be better.

But 790 sucks when compared to w810i

If it was K810i you were talking about, then it’s simply mind blowing.

I did talk to my friend who has a k790i now and his previous phone was w810i . (Which means w810i is also older) He says without the earphones, w810i sounds much better being a walkman series phone. But once you use ear-phones, theres hardly any difference.

Also, I have a HDD based music player and another Solid state player on the way. I don’t plan to use my phone for music all that much. However, the camera will come in handy. Which is why I prefer a K series phone to a W series phone.

Also, check out the features of K790i on sony website. It has RSS feeds, mobile blogging and lots more.

Are you talking about K810 i or W810 i ? Because W810 i doesn’t seem to have better features compared to K790i.

I cannot say anything about the looks as everyone has different perception. They have almost the same dimensions. (W810i is slightly sleaker ,smaller and also lighter. Agreed)

Audio clarity could be better as it’s a Walkman series phone. But then how subsantial is your claim that it IS better ? What parameters are you measuring the audio clairty on ?

Coming to video clarity, K790i undoubtedly has a better display. It also sports a higher MP camera and K series cameras are supposed to be stunning. (for me the camera is more important than the music player)

Apart form these features, K790i also has higher internal memory , better polyphonic ringtones,

810i claims to have better battery life and quad band.

This is only a preliminary research. I shall definitely be comparing the tech specs later on. The thing is I have not been noticing the cell phone arrivals for a while now as I have had no intentions of buying. So this is just to get to kow the mobiles. Once I narrow down on a few models, I shall be researching each in detail. (It’s my hard earned money you see )

W810i is ok, but after comparing it with K790i, it does look lame.

I do not wan’t to buy N-series phones for two reasons, 1) they are lame, 2) they are really old now.

However, I had a look at K810i and it blows the mind!! Only it costs an additional 1500 over my 10k cap.
