    Just a quick query I am wondering if anybody can advise on whether or not the Sony W810i is a good buy? So confused at this stage that i'm about to give up!

    I really need to change my phone - but am a little put off by the joystick however, every phone seems to have one these days!

    Does anyone know if this phone does or does not play MP3s?

    Silly question. It's Walkman phone. There's also no joystick on the W810i, so I don't see why there's a concern there.

    Try www.sonyericsson.com to get a basic idea of what the phone is.

    It does have a small joystick, and yes it plays mp3's. At least mine does :)
    I love mine, tho it did die on me a while back and I had to go to the S.E. site and update the firmware. It has been fine since then.

    It's ok as a phone.
    I've found the call quality to be poor compared to my old 6230. The UI isn't as responsive either. Keypad buttons aren't great to push either, prefer the nokia again.

    Camera is excellent tho. Joystick is just a push button rather than full motion joystick.

    Grand for playing mp3s tho. Read some reports of problems with music after flashing firmware to R4EA031 but mines been fine.

    Can't save messages to memory stick which I don't like, it will only let you save 20 messages on the phone then outside of whats in your inbox.

    I got it for free so I guess I can't complain too much more :p
