at first glance, the two don't look to have much of a difference. however, upon closer inspection, the w800i is first and foremost a walkman phone with "flight mode" capabilities that K750 does not.

also, i read somewhere that the headphones that comes with the w800i is "better" than the K750 model. both phone is fitted with a 2mp camera so i expect them to be the same.

price wise, w800i would be more expensive. on another note, i also heard that the firmware for a K750 model can be upgraded to a w800's... maybe Chai can test that out? since he has a K750 and absolutely stands by it.

I really don't see the purpose of 'flight mode'. Might as well buy a dedicated MP3. Seriously, there's not much difference between K750i and W800i. I've bought W800i earphones, so my phone is now technically the same as W800i!

Flashing firmware will void warranty. I won't test it out, and I don't find the need to do it.

i've tested my fren's w800i with original headset, there is nothing special with the sound quality IMO compare to the real walkman cd player, the bass is not that powerful and the ear plug sucks..u pluck it INTO ur ear..i dont like

i like k750i's design more than w800i becos the camera cover look much nicer and it is black in colour

can the k750i's camera button be pressed halfway? i mean focus like in w800i

and also can k750i plug in normal headset?



akho, yup, it can be done. a few guys in mobifanz.com already flashed the firm to w800i

K750i is 100% the same as W800i hardware wise.

Bass not that powerful? You are not putting into your ears properly...

The original w800i headset is definitely better than k750i. Of course it's nothing special compare to discman, but you can change the earphone if you don't like it. I've already broke the k750i headset. That shows the appalling quality of the headset...

Nope, you can't. That's why I bought the W800i headset for RM158! I bought a 1GB MS Pro Duo too, so technically, my phone is better than W800i.

K750i is really something, resonable price for a full package, if I wasn't happy with my ol' T610 I would have gone for it myself.

take note also that the k750i's camera cover is very practical to have. a w800i's camera part (lens) will get dirty very very easily especially if you put it in your pocket a lot. and with it's amazing auto-focus 2mp cam, you definitely can notice dust in your pics if the lens is dirty.

flashing the firmware of a k750i to w800i firmware may cause some problems (like sudden firmware hung-ups). maybe it's due to hardware-tagging within the firmware itself or something. so better just leave the phone as it is.

BTW, athlonxp. What problem do you mean with 'white line' on the k700i? i don't think i have ever experienced that with my k700i unit.
