Sony Ericsson W810
Questions about this phone
Hi everyone. I'm thinking about buying either this phone or the Samsung 707 Sync. I know the Sync has stereo blouetooth for listening to music wirelessly which is almost essentaial for me cause i tak e my phone to the gym w/ me all the time. Does the 810 have Stereo Bluetooth on it? Is it able to have Cingular/AT&T's Televav GPS locater service on it? Does the Sync have tht service on it? the only other thinga bout the 810 that is werid is the memeory card because now my phone takes a micro sd card and this would be a sony duo pro memory card so i'd have to convert all of my pictures vides and music over. Any help would be appreciated. THanks.

I can only speak to one of your questions. I didn't know it was possible to listen to music wirelessly on the W810 until tonight. Look for a question called "Buying Question (W810 or W660i)" in the forum. Read all the exchanges. It'll tell you how to beat the design of the W810 and still manage to use a Bluetooth wireless headset to listen to music. It looks like its worth a shot.
Let me just say that even if you don't try this wireless headset option, I'd think you'd love the phone anyway. Music sounds pretty decent even with low end wired headphones. The W810 comes with management software, USB cable, and a 128 mb "starter" card when purchased from ATT. From what I understand, you have to buy those things as extras with the Sync. It's j...

True. THanks for the help. I'lll ahve to look up that thread. I mean yes, it does come w/ a 128 mb starter card but honestly you can't even hold a lot of inormation on that. I've got a decent amount of info to hold so i as thinking of going up to the 2 gig card if it can hold like 4 gigs or something. And true the Sync doesn't have that but I've already got the microsd card so that wouldn't be a problem anyhow and if the 810 can support stereo bluetooth it wouldn't even come w/ the headset anyhow. THanks so far!

Comparing the Sync to the W810 is like comparing a Pinto to a Cadillac. And the Sync is crap.
...
Really/ What makes the Sync crap? It's a top of the line phone and is packed w/ features.
...
Go get one, try it out, and you will see. Poor poor reception, and it's poorly built.
...
Do you know that for a fact or just assuming? I'm just asking. I'm researching both phones for now. THanks.
...
I know it for a fact. I had the W810 for 9 months. I had the Sync for 2 days before I rushed back to the store to take it back. I've bought my last phone from AT&T. All my phones will be bought unlocked from now on, like my W810 was and my K790a was. They are just better unlocked and unbranded. More expensive, but well worth it.
...
Yea but being unlocked I've heard messes the phones up a bit w/ the calling features and can fry the circuit boards or something.
...
A loto f people have told me including customers. Everyone has said they love the Sync. Just wondering whatewveryone things. Why didn't you like the phone though?
...
Dude....buying an unlocked phone is the only way to go. I dont know who has told you what, but if they are telling you unlocked phones will mess up anything, then I will look them dead in the eye and tell them they are idiots.
