Sorry to hear that happened to you. I actually don't use the Disc2Phone software myself. I prefer Windows Explorer.

I was close to buying one of these but couldn't afford the extra money, so I bought a Razr V3. tongue.gif

Well, the RAZR isn't a terrible phone, but I think spending a little extra on the W810i is worth it, as it has many more features than the RAZR.

how is this bulky and slow? if anything its the NOKIA's which are sluggish. just check the online reviews of the N70.

This is an excellent all in one device for the amount of features it packs its well worth the cash and not bulky at all, mine arrives today (god willing) can't wait.

One question though, does the W810i have USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 ive been hearing conflicting answers, can someone please confirm?

The W810i has USB 2.0 support. It also functions as a portable hard drive right out of the box, at least with WinXP.
Great review (Y)

But why do you have the W900i and the W810i?

I bought the W900i about three weeks ago, not knowing at the time it didn't have EDGE, RDS radio or the 850 MHz band. Therefore, I learned the hard way that it really wasn't optimized for use in North America. I'm likely going to be selling it off in the near future.

Now, Disc To Phone at a rate of 192mb a song takes 1min, your music saved on the phone will not play, if it has not been transfered with one!

I bought my girlfriend nokia n70 and music transfers at least double quicker, Videos are possible to captchure and watch.

Photos yep sony's better, but explorer will have to be reinstaled each time u clean your pc with decent cleaner( drivers are not digitaly signed)

usb interface is 2.0

Customer suport is sony like- bad, there is no sofware fixes yet, whilst nokias is a pleasure- work a treat

One more thing is memory- Nokias memory is small and upgrade of card to a biger one is expensive

Make Your Mind up :whistle:

My choice today would be Nokia ( but thats me) ;)

I don't use Disc2Phone at all. I just drag-and-drop my MP3 files via the standard Windows Explorer, and it works fine. Can you please elaborate on "your music saved on the phone will not play, if it has not been transfered with one!" I don't quite understand what you mean by that.

btw. I just bought it two days ago - and it's definantely worth 300$ !!

Are you making sure that the phone is in USB mode? It has to be to use Explorer. From there, I just drag-and-drop my MP3 files to the X:/W810/MUSIC folder.

Are you making sure it's not some kind of encrypted or protected MP3 file? I got my W810i from Plemix.com, which ships from Hong Kong. I don't know where you got your phone. Perhaps the firmware is corrupted or something.

Same here....I'm waiting for the 790 also to replace my beloved S710a.

The only reason I'm giving up the 710, is I need something with a little

better camera...macro mode and better flash. The 710 does pretty well,

but in close up, it gets a little blurry. I use mine for work, and carrying

a dedicated digicam just isn't practicle. Hopefully they will release the

790 soon, so by the time november rolls around (where I'll be able to

do an "upgrade") any bugs will have been taken care of and the "new"

will wear off a bit and the price will be less.

I got the 710 just as it was being discontinued, so it was a LOT less than

what I had seen it advertised for over a year ago.

:alien:

Waits for the K790i :p

I read somewhere that it can handle MS Duo up to 2GB, is that true?

What about the 4 GB and 8 GB that are to be released this year? Will it be possible to use the 8GB with this phone or is there a maximum song limit etc?

In terms of external memory, the phone should only be limited by the limits of the MS Pro Duo format. As they have a theoretical maximum of 32 GB, the phone should theoretically support that much memory.

    • Those persons has complete control over the internet right now. They do see everything what we do regardless.
    • Everyone and every country who doesn't support Israel's aggression, terrorism and hypocrisy is their immediate enemy. You can definitely see how many innocent people they are killing almost everyday. In fact they're the actual Neo-Nazi who holds Hitler's ideology.
    • Just pull a 4Chan and ignore the UK gov, or better troll them. It's not like they can enforce the fine across border.
    • It has NEVER been shown that all these overreaching creepy methods of surveillance have ever saved a child or prevented a terrorist attack. Not a single one. It's the kind of people like you who just wave it away as "paranoid conspiracy" that makes big tech and governments this creepy mass data hoarding entities. Not only that, 3/4 of these surveillance ideas undermine the very foundations of safe online communication because they always want to have a backdoor in everything "just in case" they might need it to... checks the notes "save the children". If you put a backdoor into encryption chain there is no encryption chain anymore. You know what encryption keeps safe? Your medical records, your online shopping and credit card during payment, your photos in the cloud, your emails, your passwords, everything. There is ZERO guarantee only the good guys will use it. And if you think police suddenly can't apprehend child abusers because of encryption, Epstein was running his entire sex trafficking ring using GMail which is not even encrypted end to end. Or to make matters even worse, USA has a **** and a good buddy of Epstein as a president. Absolutely NOTHING has been done to address it. Maxwell just got a better "hotel" room as a reward. This clearly shows how they absolutely don't really care about the children but they care about the absolute control over all of us. And you're defending them here. Good grief. On top of constant attempts to insert backdoors into encryption chain, the entire age verification nonsense is again entirely over reaching, creepy, invades everyone's privacy with premise of yet again "protecting the children" instead of demanding device makers to provide simple and powerful tools for PARENTS to control how their children use devices and what they do on them. THIS would be the way, not the stupid age verification for everyone. Imagine if government would be dictating companies how their phones work and not the company's IT department. The parents should be the IT department to their children. And for everyone excusing "they are not knowledgeable enough" buuuuuulsheat. We live in a digital age, if you have children now, you absolutely are well versed in digital everything at least to basic extent. If you're not, how do you even function in these times then? Reality is that parents are just lazy and don't want to deal with this. They want government to raise their kids because they are too busy scrolling stupid Instagram and Tiktok or some bs.
    • You could make the argument that K should not be included, but FC, the fried chicken, is not the framework, it's the product. It's the Paint in Paint.NET. A closer analogy is if KFC included the name of the deep fryer they used. HennyPennyFC.
