Anyone Waiting For The SE W800 ?

Sony Ericsson K750i / W800i Audio Adapter

I think it would have better if the jack was incorporated in the body of the adapter.

Was it Gates or Jobs or some other dude?...that said cellphones with mp3 capability will replace portable DAPs, and it's only a matter of time. I'm not too big of a fan of the idea myself, but I can see it happening with more and more advanced tech.

yeah, not crazy about that either. at least the length of the connector is shorter than I anticipated.

regarding convergence, as long as each function performs well [phone, camera, dap] I am all for it. It's just something that appeals to me instinctually.

doesn't have to be about how the cost would compare vs buying all three devices, or whether I want to carry all my music with me.

congrats on having the k750.

if the prices for k750s were dropping as i hoped in my earlier post in this thread i would also be going for it now that the w800's release is imminent.

should the approximate $100 price gap between both cells remain, the w800 is the better deal because of the larger memory stick + better headset.
