Upgrade time... Sony Ericsson K750i vs W800i Whats the difference?

It's upgrade time again, and i think that after ten years using purely
nokias i think it's time to change... I've had my eye on the sony
ericsson W800i. I currently have a nokia 6230, and it's an alright
phone. I use the mp3 player now and again, so thats something that draws
me to the SE. The better camera would be useful too...

Anyway, to cut a long post short, i want to know, whats the difference
between the K750i and the W800i?? Does the k750 come with a memorystick
like the walkman version? Are the photos much cop once transferred to
PC? (not looking to replace my digi camera - it'd just be useful to take
the odd photo at work in half-decent quality). I suppose most
importantly, is the voice call quality ok...

The panel's comments would be most welcome!!

cheers

K750i comes with 64mb card only.........not large enough 512 minimum
obviously the casing is different.
Headset is rubbish............get the HPM-70 set (W800i), if you go this
option

W800i comes with 512mb card which is OK. Phone can be switched on as a
Walkman only or Phone/Walkman. It is also supplied with better quality and
more versatile head set.
Colour is bright Orange...........some don't like it (I do)
The body is very smooth and needs a firm hold.

Both can have firmware updates via the net.

My wife has a K750i and loves it, I have the W800i and the same.

Specialist is taking it too far (I certainly wouldn't consider myself a
specialist!). Anyone with SE Fighter or SE Curiser can do it.
