Question

which model is better Sonyericsson w810i Vs W580i? Does W580i support 8gb? I heard Sonyericsson has stopped manufacturing of W810i. is it so?

Answer 1

yes production of the w810i has stopped, but there are many brand new w810i still around because stores still sell them and there are of course warehouses with them.

the differences between the two phones are very subtle.  The w810i is slightly heavier, but the frame is much stronger because the w580i implemented a lot more plastic in it's creation, leading to a phone more prone to damage.

The w580i also has track ID [although you probably won't ever use this] and a pedometer [you run with it to determine how far you've run or walked ].  But aside from that, both have very similar walkman features and functions.

The camera has not improved much with the w580i, you cannot zoom in the camera mode, but with the w810i you can zoom in camera mode.  Personally I think that hte picture quality of the w810i beats the w580i.

The w810i has cheaper memory cards now because the shift is to memory stick micro [what's on the w580i] but you can get a 1GB stick of memory stick pro duo for the w810i for $10, and for  4GB it's around $40.

If there is indeed a 8GB memmory stick micro the w580i can support it.  The reason that sony only says phones support to X amount of memory is because with larger memory cards people store more files in a given folder, which slows down the phone.  However, if you split up files into folders then there's no problem at all and no slowdown.

Personally I'd pick the w810i because it can take a lot more damage than the w580i, many people with w580i have broken keys [cheap plastic keys] and wsod or cracked screens because the casing is made of plastic.  the w810i only has a cracked screen when heavy damage happens.

Answer 2
