I purchased the 8801 and aside from bragging rights its just a regular phone. The w810i has more features by far.

yeah its alright, but the guys are right go with a N series

I would go with a Nseries phone

Nice phone. It just doesn't have the features when compared to an N series phone. Like you pointed out, the 8801 is more of a status phone, just like those Vertus. But it just depends on personal opinion. Some people absolutely hate it and complain, while others love it. My friend just sold her SE W810i to get one.

What's your opinion of this phone? I've read that it's all looks with no function, but then I've heard otherwise. Would you reccommend it?
