"Plenty of features to keep you busy for days"
Pros: Please read below
Cons: Please read below
Summary: Pros: The phone is small and very ergonomic. Music quality is very satisfactory both thru the OEM headset and phone's built-in speaker. Camera quality is above average. Under good lighting conditions, graining is barely noticeable. Flash light works great. Radio has great quality. The phone has tons and tons of smart features that will keep you occupied and pleased.
Cons: A mobile phone regardless of how many tricks it can do is useless if it doesn't do the one thing it is suppose to do ? to let you talk without interruption. I use Cingular service and I have had the phone for about 3 days now. In three days on almost every conversation the phone suddenly dropped my call. I am in the process of discussing this with SE and Cingular support. I am guessing it has something to do with the Edge technology. If not, then the interface is faulty and I would strongly suggest that you wait for the later rounds of distribution (when the bugs have been reported and fixed). Battery also doesn?t last no where near 7 hours of talk time. ( I haven?t uploaded my mp3 files on the phone yet, so I can?t tell you how long it would last using the phone only in Walkman mode). Make sure that you discuss the parameters with respect to your network capabilities and the phone?s adaptability.

Which place you bought. Also, do you have latest firmware. I fully agree that if it can't work good as phone then other features are useless. I am considering this phone based on other posts so your inputs may be useful. Thx

I was having a similar problem - dropped calls constantly on a brand new W810 on Cingular. I contact SE and they asked me to upgrade the phone software and the problem was fixed. The upgrade can be found here:

Hi,
I feel good when you update your site with the latest cell phones and their full reviews.. -
I have the w800 (which is basically the same phone) and I haven't had any issues with dropped calls.
-
I have the W800 and has all the same bells and whistles, though this was a tri-band phone with better freguencies for Europe. I found this out after buying two of the phones. Customer Service could only say "sorry" and would you like to check out our W810 phone.
I've certainly regretted buying the two phones, and two LCD tv's, oh yeah this vaio computer. I think they have lost a loyal customer after this. -
Many people reported this problem in other forums with Cingular and also with T-Mobile.I think it is better to wait until it is released by Cingular or until this phone is available to purchase on SE's website.
