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 now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes by Usama Jawad Visual Studio 2026 recently netted a powerful feature that finally allows developers to review Git Pull Requests (PRs) directly in the integrated development environment (IDE), without needing to switch to the browser. However, that's not all that Microsoft introduced in the latest version, as it also offered a useful way to customize the IDE to their heart's content. Although Visual Studio 2026 already provides lots of stock themes based on Fluent Design principles, Microsoft understands that people still want to customize them further according to their preferences. The IDE now offers a new configuration page for themes under Tools > Options > Environment > Visual Experience > Theme colors. This allows you to set hex color codes for accent colors, hover states, and more, and apply them without requiring a restart. The Redmond tech giant further says that: Microsoft is also offering granular color tokens that allow you to customize various UX elements like the tab header without impacting the rest of the shell chrome. Your themes are also stored in JSON format in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\18.0_xxxxxxxx\ColorThemes, which basically enables you to share it with others or override existing themes. This is a major improvement in terms of the user experience powering these customization capabilities. This is because extensions were required to replace the theme, and it was not very easy to make minor adjustments. This theme configuration UX solves this problem and is available in Visual Studio 2026 version 18.7, available here.

    • It's interesting to hear that AI growth is not investor driven.
    • A few weeks ago, I had this same exact issue. Unfortunately, I didn't think of disabling the Secure Boot option in BIOS. I updated my BIOS to the latest version for my MB and it resolved the issue.
    • I have a partial answer, when I used a multi-port usb hub I had degraded speed performance with 3 large external hard drives connected (all having their own power supply). I managed to snag a nice (yet older) USB3 based wavelink docking station cheap / used that has x6 usb 3 ports and almost doubled the speed of the external hard drives transfer rate. This looks to be a slightly upgraded model -https://ebay.io/m/LZtjTy
