Sony Ericsson w810i unlocked or not

[narendra]

what would you all reccomend me buying a Sony Ericsson w810i locked for cingular or unlocked?

 

[torrance M]

Unlocked/unbranded of course if the price is the same.

 

[Boom! CumShot!]

Wouldnt it be cheaper to buy it locked and then unlock it?

 

[Kunmui]

is there any added features when buying it unlocked

 

[Kunmui]

Global use?
Thats abt it.

Buy it unlocked/unbranded. Sure, you can try to get it yourself, but if you fudge it up, you have a nice paper weight.

Pros: Flash menus, no branding, no messing with Cingular crap like Cingular Mall

Cons: You have to manually enter the MMS/SMS/Media Net settings (easy, it is on the Cingular/AT&T site), Cingular/AT&T will not be able to exchange the phone if it breaks.

well i have the samsung slider phone now so is it a better phone then the slider?

 

[denise45]

Which slider? and from an Mp3 player point of view its pretty damn good, I had it on my till a month ago when I upgraded to HTC but W810 is a neat little phone with a pretty descent camera as well.

If you mean the Samsung D807, the slider offered at the Cingular stores, then yes, it is a far better phone. I purchased that D807, and returned it within a month to get the W810i. I bought a black one, then my wife started using it, and she loved it, and sold her Motorola RIZR, and I had to get another W810i, so I bought an unbranded one.
