Sony Ericsson K750 / W800 / D750 / W700
W800i finnally released
The new SE walkamn phone w800i is finally released. It cost around $460-$500. It comes with a 512mn card. It is worth it but i already have the k750i so not worth it for me.

You say that you already have the k750i. I would prefer to get this phone over the w800i but everyone gripes about bad reseption. Could you please tell me what you think of your reseption and where you are located. I hope you have a better report!

i am located in a suburb outside Chicago and no the reception is not bad at all. Of course the reception in my area isnt all that great either. I put in a cingukar card and i was getting better recpetion than t-mobile sim card. If u want the best recpetion but lack of design look at nokia. But the reception for this phone is ok.

Check out my thread about the recent problems I now have with receiption on my K750.
In a nut shell, I switched my sim card from a Cingular S710 and noticed the signal bars were much lower on average (2-4 with K750 and 4-5 with S710).
End result, the S710 supports the GSM 850 network and the K750 does NOT. Cingular primarily supports their GSM 850 network except in the large metro areas. Therefore, the K750 is not great every where.
I was in Los Angeles and still did not get very good receiption with the K750 using Cingular. Big issue with me.
