well.. the only con(s) i can think of for this phone is the lack of a front video call camera and it's software. not to say it's bad or anything, but it could do with Symbian.

overall, however, i would say this is a good phone. stereo speakers are great and it's 2mp camera is more than enough for occasional shots..
how about the 5700 then? my friend has one and frankly, it's quite good!

well, i didn't really get to play with his phone that well..

but anyway, if you leave symbian out, i'd take the W810i. though the 5700 may be newer, i personally don't really like the design. looks kinda weird, if you ask me.

thw W810i does have some advantages over the 5700 though. firstly, its camera has autofocus, which is quite a big deal if you often take pictures. secondly, the W810i has SE's Walkman music player, which also has "Megabass". some may not like it while others, such as myself, love it. another advantage is the simplicity of the OS. SE's UI is one of the most user friendly softwares one can find in a phone nowadays..

so yeah.

ps. the W810i's cheaper too.

Yes, you can get w810i with that budget, slightly cheaper than w610i. But w610i is better in terms of function, see back few pages and you will see the difference between them.

Nevermind, I'll write it out here. Just now in a rush, sorry.

w610i have walkman version 2 compared with w810i which have walkman v1
w610i has better processor(x2 compared with w810i) than w810i (google 'w610i processor' and 'w810i processor')
w610i is using TFD screen, which saves battery power and you can enjoy your songs even longer. (A little bit loss of quality compared with TFT)
