i plan on getting a new cell phone soon but i cant decide between these two could some give me the pros and cons between the two also does the 903 come with the adapter thing for your own headphones?
 
The adapter is highly dependent on who you buy from, so always ask that person before you buy.

Pros of the 903:
- Brilliant Screen
- Unique Design
- Great Camera
- Rare as all

Cons of the 903:
- If you want it to be easy you have to buy it unlocked and set up for your network. Take a look at that forum space and every day there are new posts on how to configure it.. a difficult phone with little real support (forum guys are nice as all though)
- For what it does, I think, it's expensive. The best part about it is the camera, and compared to other phones with about the same features its avg $100 above. But, again, you are paying to get it unlocked, imported, and probably be the only one on the block with it.

W900i Pros:
- Storage out the Ying Yang
- Walkman phones usually have the best MP3 capabilities
- Very large and nice looking screen

W900i Cons:
- Freakin huge (the 903 isn't small either, so there)
- Freakin Expensive (but as opposed to the 903, the price is actually coming down)

Personal W900i Cons (these are my personal gripes about the phone and are not "real" cons)
- I absolutely hate the swivel action. I think its silly to constantly have to turn my phone around to get it to face me right.
- There are no real design elements. Its just an upgraded s710a in all black or all white.

If i had to choose either I would probably choose the 903 because I think when it's unlocked and fully configured for the network, it is a good phone. I also like the exclusitivity of it. Right now the w900i has that same exclusitivity, but when the price drops then we should see more of them abounds.

I think for ease of use, listening to music, and using a phone as a phone (and not a status symbol) the W900i wins hands down.
 
I was faced with the same decision myself... I went with the W900 because atm it's more exclusive and rare. The 903 is quite common around here. Most of the pros and cons have been stated above so I won't repeat what has just been said. I like the swivel because not that many phones have that kind of form. It turns heads occassionally. Clamshell forms are common but the rotating screen is nice. It doesn't have an external display which was quite disappointing. The 903 has a better camera but the W900 is kinda better for media. It's all about personal choice really...
