Sony Ericsson's W700i is Just a Gold W800i
By: Aalaap Ghag   |   Apr 05, 2006
I've heard of companies releasing the same product with an incremented model number, but this is probably a first: Sony Ericsson's new W700i Walkman phone is nothing but the W800i with a “titanium gold” color and finish.

The W700i offers the usual MP3, MPEG-4 and H.263 playback, and an FM radio. There's no sign of the ATRAC3Plus format support that the recent NTT DoCoMo Music Porter X has incorporated. The W700i has the same large 262k color LCD display with a 176x220 resolution, a 2-megapixel digital camera with video and 4x zoom and 34mb of internal memory to store the goods in.

It comes with a Memory Stick PRO Duo slot for expansion and this is probably the only bit that's different: the W700i ships with a 256MB stick out of the box, while the W800i gives you a roomy 512MB.

The price is not known yet, but since it's got a lower capacity memory card, it might just be a little cheaper. But then again, the gold color may make them mark up the price a bit. The phone is expected to be available around end of April, in India at least. If you can't wait for it, you can always get the W800i and spray paint it gold.

My friend there is one BIG difference in the two phones. While W800i incorporates K750i tried and tested and i must say brilliant 2MP CMOS AF camera module, the W700i has a different module. It lacks Auto Focus and ships with an inferior Cam Driver onboard. K750i and W800i are twins but W700i is just a younger sibling.

the w800i is far superior than thew700i. the picture quality and lens quality in w800i is better than the w700i and k750i. Pictures are brighter and crispier. the most stricking difference is the availability of zoom in the large picture mode.
The sound quality is better than the w700i and the k750i. those who have the w800i dont sell your phone. it is a miracle in itself. you the holders of w800i can consider yourselves as the lucky ones

RAHUL @ Apr 11, 2006
[...] The thing that interests me more about this phone is that apart from MP3 and AAC, it supports Sony’s ATRAC3Plus format as well, which in my opinion, is perfect for hand held devices because it sounds better at lower bit rates, translating to lower file sizes, uses lower battery power to decode meaning your device gets more battery life. I can vouch for this as I’ve been using a Sony NW-HD1 for quite some time now. Sony created the ATRAC format, and they themselves aren’t using it in their phones. Instead, they’re just spray painting their existing phones and giving them different model numbers. Wouldn’t it make sense to put ATRAC3Plus into Sony-Ericsson Walkman phones? [...]
