Sony Ericsson W850i or Samsung E900? [+15rep for help]

[Ostinato]

Hey guys.

I like both phones, and I think I prefer the w860i cause of the great memory I could use for songs and what not, but I'm worried it might be a bit of a brick lol.

I'm looking for people who have either of these phones and could shed some light onthem.

Thanking you!

Samsung, they are good phones to rely on, they have a sleek desgin and have a fair bit of memory on them themselves, mainly i use my iPod to store songs on. But also, the samsung has some of the best screen views about. And i am considering getting one for my birthday.

[dirrty]

Sony one as it is a walkman phone and has quite a good size of memory. Sony ericsson phones are always good quality as i have had 4 phones which are made by Sony ericsson.

So go for it :)

Thats the Sony Ericsson

Samsung

I'd personally pick the Sony Ericsson cos its reliable, has a very good battery life, generally very high standard in the music, and the sound is excellent.

i would go with the sony erricson. One of my mates have the samsung and it aint all thrills. It really depends what you already have. If u have an ipod and dont rly use lots of memory go for samsung, but if you don't go for the sony one

Really depends on what you want in the end but if you are wanting the Sony Ericsson because of its memory...then the Samsungs memory can be uprgraded with a memory card.

And if you are worried about it being a brick then just remember that most of the new phones are quite big and the bigger phones are coming back into fashion ;]]

[Ostinato]

Well, I don't have an ipod so I am basically looking for good memory. Could anyone who has either, fill me in a bit better on the design? Rather than just looking at officialy released pics by the companies, I'd rather have customers opinions hehe.

Personally I like the Motorola i920 BUT you can get the E900, its perdy

[Ostinato]

EW at that motorola. Lol.

Thanks for all your input and help guys, keep it coming! <3

I'm still really undecided but no-ones posted much about the e900 yet!

[Jamie!]

My mates got thr E900 and it is fairly smart like, the touch buttons are the best thing about it though. But tbh, I don't like the design that much cause its not like smooth if you get what a mean lol

[You]

I love sonys but i dont like the size of this one and the design, so i have to say the samsung

[Desjardens]

EW at that motorola. Lol.

Thanks for all your input and help guys, keep it coming! <3

I'm still really undecided but no-ones posted much about the e900 yet!

Lets not take it out on my soon coming new phone pls.

[Ezzie.]

I have a w810i and couldn't complain, it's a fantastic phone! 10/10 imo

If you have a decent MP3 player, I'd definately go with the Samsung. They're much better phones. If you're looking for something that's going to be a jack of all trades, then you'd probably be better off with the Sony Ericsson. I had an SE once and had a bad experience (as it was basically a pile of crap) so I wouldn't buy one again. The W850i does look nice, but I'm guessing it's quite big too, especially compared to the E900 which is tiny.

[Hazza]

Sony Ericisons Are Quite Good And Do Have A Good Memory.. I Dont Think They Are That Bricking Like.. Seeing My Mate Has One.. I Have The E900 Which I Like They Are Really Good I Have Had It For Quite A While And Nothing Has Happened To It. Samsung Are A Very Good Company To Rele On, It Also Has Quite Alot Of Memory, And I Can Fit 10-15 Songs On It.:) Hope I Help You.:)

Just looked at some specs and the W850i isn't as big as I thought. It's pretty much the same size as a D600.

You may be able to upgrade the memory stick.

I'd go for the samsung d900. My uncle has it, and i am always playing on it! I want it for christmas, it saves hell a lot of memory. Personally, i dont really like sony's, i dont like there designs.

Anyway, samsung d900!

That's the phone I'm holding out to upgrade for. It isn't out on T-Mobile yet :(

T-mobile is the best! Good choice of phone!

[^.^]

samsungs in my opinion are way to unreliable i prefer the Sony Erricson W850i because great for listening to music with,reliable,good battery time and great design:)

Sony Ericsson W850i

[Ostinato]

Thanks everyone for input, but keep them coming!

Do you all think there'll be upgraded, newer and better versions of phone out nearer Christmas? Think it's worth waiting?

Thanks!

[Bear-Max]

Probably not. Whenever you buy there's likely to be a new model 6 months down the line, and the two you mentioned are pretty new as it is.

[Jargit]

Defintly The w850i. The memory is awsome :D

[Neversoft]

Well, they're both great makes.
But its your choice. In my view it doesn't matter about the size (UNLESS ITS MASSIVE!) it's about what it can do. :P

[^.^]

ostinato i think theirs a w900i coming out soon or now.
also w950i coming out early 2007

But the W850i is the only slider in the range.

The W900 is a swivel and the W950 is a regular handset.

The sony erriksons have always been unraliable and crap signal for me

[^.^]

crap signal means your with the wrong tarrif for your area as in orange,vodafone etc etc.

its the network you mong not the phone.

[Bear-Max]

Not necessarily. Some phones can just have a crap/faulty receiver.

[^.^]

then send it back and have a phone with a good receiver really that hard... my EL71 is being repaired at the moment by benq siemens because its bluetooth,battery bar + sound wasnt working.

[Kymux]

I have the w860i and it's super. I would reccoment it above anything. It has the TRACKID, A walkman stereo bluetooth so you can listen whilst you transfer, a lovely video.

Seriously man, go for it. It's a must have fr music lovers. I actually think it helped me pass my GCSE!
