G'day all,
I am in the market for a new mobile and after consideration, I think I have narrowed it down to an SE, but am having some trouble making the final decision. I like the form factor of both phones, but I must admit the orange/white of the W800 really doesn't do it for me at all. Saying that though, if the W800 is clearly a better choice I will purchase it, as I am going for functionality not colour in the end.
I'd like to know a few things if anyone is able to help:
1) Are there any major hardware differences between the two?
2) Is there any difference in sound & earphone quality?
3) If I opt for the K750i and flash it to W800, I am assuming that I will just have a W800 in a black or silver case. Am I correct?
4) Brad from NSW, if you're reading this... From reading some of your other posts, I am assuming you have purchased an asian model and flashed it? Have you had any trouble with your EU firmware and what version would you recommend?
My priorities for a phone are: Good signal strength & clarity of calls, MP3 sound quality, phonebook - ease of use and speed in retreiving numbers, texts - ease of use and intuitive predictive text with a user expandable dictionary, effective organiser function and multiple alarms. Plus of course the 2MP camera.
Any answers, comments and advice are appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Brad
