Great review. Thanks alot!

Anyway, I'm holidaying in Dubai and this phone is cheap in comparison to what it is in Australia.

Should I get it in black or white?

I prefer black, but fewer people have it in white, so if you want to be "unique," go for white.

I was looking at the W810i but then decided to switch my attention to the W850i. Nice review though ;) .

Nice review man, got this phone in November and I can't complain but I hate myself for not doing enough research and finding out that Rogers was getting the K790a a couple days after I got this phone. Also they also started including a 4GB MS aside from the initial 1GB that was with the phone, then again I took a 2 year contract so it is all good :p.

BTW, if you're on a branded phone flash it, its well worth it although I flashed mine to the wrong version (Middle East..).

I spent a little extra and bought the phone unlocked.

have this phone through rogers wireless and love it, much better than my last phone (motorola rokr). i think i'll stick with sony phones from now on.

I'd like to see the W850a, although I believe the next major phone to be release this side of the Atlantic is the W880a.

The W880 is said to be the thinnest Walkman phone yet but from what I have seen of the images circulating over the internet, the keypad is really ugly. From what I've seen, it looks really hard for people with big fingers to press on the keypad. Then again, these images were never confirm to be true by Sony so that is a moot point.

Now just waiting for my 4gb MS Pro Duo and 1GB transflash FREE from Rogers.

I suggest you Debrand your phone with Phone XS. Go to HowardForums for more info regarding how to and such.

Just got my W810 from Rogers and im liking it so far. One thing I dont like is that I cant use MP3s as my ringtone, but i found a workaround.

The Sony Ericsson W810i doesn't need a workaround to be able to use MP3s as ringtones :|

If purchased directly from Sony or another store (without a contract) it will be able to, but in this case he got the phone through a the wireless provider on a contract so the phone is branded and modified according to the providers liking (Remove ability to mute shutter sound, Flash themes, mp3 ringtones and update through SEUS.)

Can you make a recording of 'silence' and change the tone to that? Suppose mine doesnt have thoes features disabled. Its a great phone, and I have owned many, this is by far my faverite, and its soo damn sexy :p

You can use the Sound Recorder function of the phone to record near silence, and use it as a ringtone, assuming this is what you meant.

    • Microsoft releases new Windows 11 Media Creation Tool with the latest updates

      You can use MCT to create an updated ISO and then use Rufus to create the bootable USB.
    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      low latency mode is still bugged and causing bootup times slow to a crawl. To fix, you have to disable the feature with vivetool. Seems as though it's not rolled out to a lot of people yet since I've only been able to find only a handful of people that are having issues.

      I would recommend the Nothing 2a. The battery life is awesome, 2 or 3 days without going into battery power mode. The only thing that I've been looking into recently is that it doesn't "support" Graphene OS. I'm pretty sure there is a way, I just need to do some more looking.

      You'd have to show me an example of a listing that says Gen 1, usually i'd expect that to mean Snapdragon Gen 1 (a type of chipset, which the Pixels don't use). Pixel 7 - White - 128gb - Unlocked - 85%+ battery - Grade B+ - $159 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/398046617206 Pixel 7 - Obsidian - 128gb - Unlocked - 80%+ battery - Very Good - $157 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/355617734563 Both look to be sold by companies with good feedback, dealing with refurbished phones and state the phones are unlocked with a clean IMEI. Obviously I can't vouch for either company though, but the listings look good in my opinion.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By +mram · Posted

      Because Chrome is doing it. And no one said anyone had to update immediately. That's silly. They could update every day for all I care as long as it's fast, and the next time the browser restarts, you're good. And the basic point is not to tee it up for bigger updates. As it is right now, all the windows I had open reopen anyway except inprivate.
