It's pretty much teh same as the other cards though. The motorola E770 (and others I'd assume) us micro sd, so theres 3 sizes in that too.

Looks like a nifty little phone. When should we expect to see this? Xmas 21xx?

chrislad

And I just got a W900i too.....

yeah but just because everyone else is shafting us, and they were already with their own format, they then have to join in ??:D

There's a bit about this phone in the Irish Times Business section today.

Random

Phone looks nice. Shame it's got a new type of memory card and a joystick ...

Any news on this coming out on Irish Networks?

chrislad

There's no news of the W810i or the W900i or the W950i being on the Irish markets yet and they were announced before this

wheresmybeaver

The W950 is one I'm keeping a keen eye on... its fairly sexy.

Info available here and photos here...

drdre

KillerShamrock

I would honestly be suprised to see this fone on thee Irish market before september. As it always takes SE phones longer to Hit the Irish Market

N90user

It will have some proce tag too :rolleyes: Ah yes well they finally got 3G....

drdre

guys just want to find out when will the the k800 be realeased.i know it will take ages to get to ireland but when will it be out in europe.also does anyone know approx pricing.
also whats the difference between k800 and k790 they look the same.

and is anyone has any interesting comments to make about the k800 please do so.

chrislad

K800 is 3G. K790 is not.

Simple as.

God knows when it will be released. Expansys will get it first no doubt.

drdre

thanks chris, but expansys is always expensive, i will get it through a mate in germany as i think it will be cheaper.so now i know i will be looking for k790 not k800.

chrislad

True, but I plan to sell my W900i to fund it and expansys are pretty fast. Had my W900i within a day.

drdre

yes they are really fast,but price is a factor anyway lets wait and see when it is realeased.it should be soon.

drdre

anybody got any news on when this will be out on the market?

aCA

June 20th according to the Sony UK site.

drdre

thanks aCA, so i have enough time to save up for it.
it looks like its going to be a nice phone. i used to love nokia but since i got the k750i i have changed my mind and love sony now.:D

sprinkles

K800 looks really cool, I like the way sony amke a concerted effort to actually make their "upgrades" better then the previous models. Loved the K700i and am currently loving the k750, I know what my next phone will be.

If anyone has an interesting info on it please do post it up.

drdre

yeah sprinkles, if anyone does have any interested facts or comments about the k790/k800 then please do post it as it will be interesting learning about it before its out.:D
thanks in advance

drdre

Guys was looking on expansys. What do these technology mean?

EDGE
PictBridge
T9

thanks commander the comparison is great help.

flywheel

was playing around with the K800 for a while last week, i'll post some pics when i have a chance

EDGE - faster GPRS (not 3G though) - currently not available in Ireland ref: http://www.gsmworld.com/technology/edge/
PictBridge - a direct way printing pictures from a digital camera (rather than going via a PC) ref: http://www.cipa.jp/english/pictbridge/
T9 - predictive text entry for numeric keypads ref: http://www.t9.com/

drdre

wow where did you get to use that, was it in dublin.would you have any idea on when it will be launched and also any indication on price

flywheel

wasn't in Dublin no, SE staff were suggesting a Q2 / 'summer' (i.e. into Q3) launch for the K800 - price wise - well (as usual) it will be expensive SIM Free initially - operators will charge what ever they charge - take a look at the pricing when the K750 launched sim free / on operators and add some...

Tazz T

Tell me that's not a joystick. :eek:

It could be a winner for 3 though if they were to add this to their range.

20 Times 20 Times

God i love sony ericsson phones , i might get the k800i soon i also haves used it. all i can say is whooooaaa

drdre

sony phones are great but i hate the problem with the joystick on the k750i, hope it doesnot occur on the k790

drdre

Check out these pics!!!

http://www.mobile-review.com/review/sonyericsson-wilma-live-en.shtml

Also the bad thing about the phone is going to be the new style memory stick.Its going to be expensive as it will be new.

i think 550-600 euro. as look at k750i it was 500 when realeased and it didnot have as good functions as the k790.so at the start prices will be high.But it looks like it will be well worth it.but like the k750i i think sony wonot realease too many at the start to create a hype and try and increase prices as they did for the k750i

drdre

does anyonehave any articels they want to share about the k790.

also does anyone have a date when it will be realeased in europe as i know it wonot be out in ireland for ages.

flywheel

The phone is a decent size and weight for all the features they packed in, will be interesting to see how that battery holds up - going to have a lot of draw on it with that bright screen and 'real' flash option when taking pics.



SE have really gone in for highlighting the camera capabilities of the handset, using the Sony Cyber-shot branding where possible e.g. splash screen when camera is activated...


... and also the Cyber-shot logo on camera cover at the back, together with the Auto focus and 3.2 mega pixel capability of the phone



a close up of the camera you can see the 'real flash' at the top and focal length: f=5.1mm 1:2.8



they are plenty of camera options, one being BestPic™ developed for the phone, you also have options for the focus, flash etc.

BestPic: Press the shutter button once and get 9 full quality 3.2 megapixel pictures to choose from in a time sequence – 4 pictures before and 4 pictures after the actual image you captured.

ref: SE Release



lots of connectivity options, USB 2.0 and Bluetooth 2.0 and IrDA

a new memory stick format though: Memory Stick Micro™ (M2™) which will upset anyone upgrading from a previous SE phone and has alread shelled out on a large capacity Duo together with the wait to find higher capacity MS M2 cards at a reasonable price...

drdre

Thanks Dubwireless.I am waiting impatiently for this phone to be realeased. Its really nice but its abit bigger than the k750i.

Does anyone have prices on the new memory stick. Are they realeased yet for other phones on the market?

flywheel

haven't seen it stocked (but nothing out you can stick it into directly yet)

Sony plans to ship the 256MB and 512MB versions of the ‘M2’ media from March, and the 1GB model from May 2006. The estimated enduser price of the ‘M2’ media will be similar to the price of the current ‘Memory Stick PRO Duo’ media. Availability and prices will vary from country to country.
