Sony Ericsson W580i or Sony Ericsson W850i ?

Question

i've been lookin for a new phone and i've narrowed it down to these 2 but im not sure if i want either of them because a lot of people have been sayin that the key pad breaks but is that for people who text a lot because im not really gonna text a lot with this phone coz i've got another 2 (motorola v3i & samsung d500) as u can see, both r old phones which is y im desperate for a new phone

so basically what i'm askin is

1. is the keypad thhaat bad?? if it is then how much will it be to fix or atleast an estimated price (btw i live in england so pleeasse dont tell me how much it is in $$$)

2. im not that picky wen it comes to phones (or anythin for that matter) but can anyone tell me if there is a flash for the camera and fm radio?? a lot of websites r tellin me different things

3. which phone is better?? i've compared them both on the websites but i need answers from people with personal experience

4. what r the chances of them breakin?? i've dropped my motorola v3i on the floor A LOT of times over the past year and 9 months and it hasnt broken but if i need to then i can look after it a lot better lol

5. what r the chances of any of them gettin stolen?? im gonna be in yr9 in 2 days and im not sure if i should show anyone coz a lot of things have gotten stolen

thnx for the help (if i get any)=]

Answer 1

well my friend has the Sony eriksonW580i and she says that in the beginning its really hard to text with and she dropped it once and it had a scratch. but it is least likely to be stolen because many people have it. but i don't know about the other Sony Erickson W850i it looks kind of big..?

Answer 2

awww ur adorable, i just recently got the SE W580i, and i swear i  have like no clue about mobiles, my fiance told me to buy one becuase as like you i was using motorolla V3, dont ask that phone was h**l had so much problems with the charger, and keypads anyways me and my fiance both use SE W580i, its the best!!!!! the flash themes are so nice. Ok ill break the answers to you the same way you broke down ur questions.

1) the keypads are not bad at all, like me and my fiance none of us have any troubles with it, there easy to use, and no they dont break, no numbers fading away, but if anything does happen which i doubt look on ebay for SE W580i accessories and covers all you gotta do is buy the keypad  and  u could go to a mobile store, or a store that fixes mobiles giv it to them and theyll fix it, but they have instrustions with it so you could fix it your self its really simple.

2) the camera doesnt have flash i think thats the only negative thing about the phone but yeah it has radio.

3) ive only had th SE W580i and not the w850i, but SE W580i has like a range of colours to choose from, how cool is that and its appearance is wayyy better than the other one, but like over all the SE W580i is more attractive. Features are better too.

4) you are like me, i dropped my motorolla V3 sooo many times like it hit rock bottom and in the end everytime it dropped it swtiched offf then turned on again, however SE W580i im guessing drops out of my hand more than 3-4 times a week, on concrete, tiles, carpet but nope its still good as new not a scratch too.

5) Just keep it close to urself, dont let many ppl know that you have it words go around, so be carefull.

Hope this helped. I have the pink one, its georges. :D
