I am looking for a good music phone with a decent camera within 15k and now i end up with w810i and w610i. But now I am confused amog them. i find out that w610i has enhanced walkman2.0 and a2dp. But also tha camera isn't as good as w810i. Also i find a strange information in case of w610i that while capturing images in normal mode you can't zoom for this you have to shift to vga mode. Is it true??? Plz suggest ........

W810i=just one problem..no cover for cam..
W610i=small keys...
Depends upon your usage and preference. Check out max MemStick support for both..

Small keys not at all a problem......i use k550i and its never been a problem
even gsm arena review says keys at first sight seem uncomfortable but later they too found it out good and not a problem !!!

w610 is not a significant improvement over w810i.. i mean its basically a slimmer software upgrade.. it has wp2 and a2dp.. thats it! camera is weaker than w810.. plus w810 has a huge modding community which is not the case with w610.. i'd say u go for w810 coz its sound quality can b made better than w610 by modding it.. plus w610 has irritating keypad with those miniature keys which take lot of time to get acustomed to
Tell you what, if I were you, I'd buy the K550i and then convert it to W610i by flashing it with the W610i firmware, just like you convert the K750i to the W800i. There's a good 4k price difference between the two, so it doesn't make any sense to me to buy the W610i. But doing that will void the warranty, so I'd suggest you to buy the K550i without bill. Else, buy it with bill and warranty and live with it for an year. K550i costs 9.5k now with bill.

well 5700 seems to be a good option too. though I am not sure whether even using a ep630 can make it such exciting and satisfying as walkman series phone music phone. And also the twisting feature is a bit concerning.
guys, none of you has cleared my doubt about zooming in w610i...... plzz inform me if it's true or not...

afaik, zooming at 2mp is not allowed in most se phones widout any hacks (except few cid36 phones) anyway it shudn't matter much as its digital zoom and not optical.
Go for W810i, u wont regret! its a high time since such a fabulous phone has hit the shelves. its been cast down under the All Time Best phones. Its damn practical with a plethora of shortcut keys. Brilliant display, compact form factor, comfortable keypad, awesome camera with autofocus, and all other goodies! n yea.. it can used as mass storage device, no need of any shitty software or PC suite!

yea its digital zoom.....its a marketing gimmick only...its not a real feature to talk about....digital zoom is like viewing the pic on the comp and then zoom in and save it at 2mp resolution which u can alway do it on your comp after u take those pics.
oh yes autofocus not many NON SE phones have this important feature

hmm.. a2dp is not completely hardware related. rewriting the bluetooth stack will enable it in older bt1.1 phones too. but its more difficult than changing the hardware and hence no one bothers abt it unless its some real revenue generator!
