Hi

My phone was recently stolen, but i am at the end of my contract so need a new phone anyway, I am windering what decent deals there are at the moment on Sony Ericson phones, cashback systems are fine. My old phone was a W810i so would prefare something newer then this.

Also will I be able to keep my old number, as i really need my number for work purposes?

Thanks

    i have the k810i and it has an excellent camera and good music capabilities.

    and you should be able to keep your number by porting it
  • Hi Solac, the W810i was a great phone but it seems as the SE have gone downhill recently. Whatever you do DO NOT buy a K800i and here's why:

    GOOD POINTS :rolleyes:
    *Great camera (3.2 mp)

    BAD POINTS :mad:
    *VERY crap battery life - 2 or 3 days at most
    *Have to buy a M2 memory card (about £18 for a half decent one)
    *Buttons are hard to use and it will quite often access the internet without you even noticing

    Anyway, I'm sure my application will be winging it's way to me from WHICH magazine after that review! icon10.gif
    My wife has just got the SE thin, slidy one with the shaky music thing on it ;) (come on WHICH, sign me up now before The Telegraph do :D:D:D ) and that one looks quite good even with the limited camera ability. (Though she and 3 of her friends in work have had to exchange it at least once)
    Hope this helps :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    i do agree that SE have gone downhill with the k850 & w910i.

    re the internet connecting. my k810i has a menu when you start the browser saying 'allow intenet access, yes, no or always'
