Go to www.mobile-review.com/review-en.shtml. Go to W850i review. There you'll find shots taken from W850i camera. In my opinion, W810i camera is better since it has auto focus.

Now , i have read the reviews on the website... and now it seems that K790/800 is attracting me more....

Primarily, why I am going for the W850i is because that I wanted to buy a portable mp3 player and the SE walkman series is very good when comes to sound quality.

In W850i the camera is not very good since it lacks Autofocus. The Camera in W800 is excellent (specifically Cybershot). Also K800 features a good player though not as good as the Walkman series phones.

Now my dilemma:

Looks: W850i > K800
Walkman: W850i > K800
Features: K800 > W850i
Camera: K800 > W850i

Also, its "Memory Stick pro Duo" in case of W850 and M2 Memory Stick in case of K800 !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now can anyone please help me decide which one of these to buy based on all potential factors ??

And Can anyone please shed some light on the above mentioned Memory Stick formats please ?? Basically about their quality, availability and prices.

Thanx in advance :) :)

there is a big difference in K series and W series of SE phones..

K series is for imaging devices...lacks walkman player etc
W series is for music freaks (walkman etc) lacks camera potentials
and as u said u wanna buy a portable mp3 player ,then buy w series... !!

if ur looking for camera...go for K series !

If music is so important to you, i suggest you also take a look at Nokia N91. Its prices have dropped significantly. It now comes for around 19.5k in mumbai (alfa).
