hey sony ericsson sent me the spanish press release and a photo but the press releases and photos haven't been published in sony ericsson's websites. i've looked in the uk, us, spanish and global sites without luck.
from http://www.clubsonyericsson.c[....]ny-ericsson-unveils-the-w810i/
"Was I the only one who hated the design of the W800, had to buy a K750 and convert it to W800, and still didnft love the design? Sony Ericsson today unveiled at CES Las Vegas an aesthetic blend of those two, with essentially the same features and the addition of Quadband and EDGE support, dedicated music buttons in the joystick a la W900. The rest of it, you know: 2 megapixel camera with autofocus and flashlight, 1.9 176x220 pixel 262k color screen, Memory Stick Duo Pro slot, etc., etc., etc., and 20mb of internal memory. Yes, more than half less than the W800, but it comes with a 512mb card so why even bother, no? Actually, something bothers mec apparently they took out the Radio FM! At least the Press Release (I just have it in Spanish) doesnft mention it. Anyway, itfs called the W810i and will be available worldwide in the first quarter of this happy new year."

Sony Ericsson Launches Stylish W810 WalkmanŽ Phone - New Quad-band Edge Walkman Phone Delivers High-Quality Music experience with Two Mega-pixel AutoFocus Camera and Removable Memory
04 January 2006
LAS VEGAS, CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SHOW (January 4, 2006) Sony Ericsson today announced the latest addition to its line-up of Walkman-branded mobile music phones to further enhance the consumers mobile music experience, the sophisticated, Satin Black W810. The Sony Ericsson W810 is a Quad-band EDGE phone (850/900/1800/1900 MHz), and enables users to transfer their legacy CD collection or access operator music download services, while staying connected to friends, family and business colleagues anywhere in the world.
The Sony Ericsson W810 offers the latest in mobile multi-media functionality by taking advantage of high speed data downloads; listen to hours of music, capture and send high-resolution mega pixel images, access the Internet and stay connected through instant messaging or email. The latest Walkman phone comes with a 512MB removable Memory Stick, which can be upgraded to 2GB currently available in retail outlets, allowing consumers to store a wealth of music tracks, photos, video and other multimedia files on the phone.
Extending the highly acclaimed Sony Ericsson Walkman phone line-up, the stylish black with orange trim W810 advances the mobile music experience by seamlessly blending together entertainment and advanced mobile phone technology to offer a truly credible digital music experience supporting industry standard MP3 and AAC music file formats. The phone comes complete with quality HPM-70 stereo headphones which feature a standard 3.5 mm headphone jack for personal customization.
Consumers can easily and quickly load music to the phone; either uploading their legacy CD collection onto the W810 from a PC via USB 2.0 using the provided Disc2Phone music management software, or by purchasing new music from operator specific over-the-air download services. This enclosed PC software makes it easy to sort, browse and transfer files on the 512 MB Memory Stick PRO Duo, which provides capacity for approximately 150 music tracks the equivalent of around 15 full length CDs.
Enjoying music on the Sony Ericsson W810 Walkman phone is extremely simple because a dedicated Walkman button quickly pulls up the music menu regardless of what other application on the phone is in use. Positioned just below the phones screen you can find all the most common music controls needed (Play/Pause/Stop/Skip Track/Volume) allowing users to move easily between tracks or adjust the volume on the speaker or headphones. Engaging Mega Bass improves the sound experience when listening to music through the external speaker or the high quality headphones provided.
Since the launch of the W800 flagship Walkman phone in August last year, consumers across the world have been embracing the concept of the mobile phone as a credible digital music player, and enjoying high quality music anywhere, anytime without having to carry a dedicated music device. Sony Ericssons Walkman phones are redefining how consumers listen and enjoy music, and the W810 strengthens our music phone line-up with the addition of dedicated music buttons on the front of the phone and an expanded choice of how users upload music to the phone said Miles Flint, president for Sony Ericsson.
The Sony Ericsson W810 is also a great imaging device enabling users to capture great still pictures and video featuring an integrated high-quality 2 mega pixel, auto-focus camera with photo light, and easily recognisable digital still camera interface.
As with other members of the Walkman phone family, music automatically pauses when an incoming call is received and begins playing again when the call ends. The phone can also operate in a music-only mode for those occasions when the phone function must be disengaged, such as during air travel.
The W810 is equipped with EDGE Class 10 technology, to allow quick and easy data transfers and Internet access, and Bluetooth Wireless technology for connectivity with Bluetooth handsfree headsets and sharing data with other Bluetooth-enabled devices.
The Sony Ericsson W810 is a Quad-band EDGE phone available in Satin Black and starts shipping globally Q1 2006

If this turns out to be true (which im not too sure) WTF has improved dramatically from the K750/W800??!! In terms of features and looks. Not a lot. Jumping on the nokia bandwagon for mass domination?? |

Quadband should mean it could be sold in a few other countries.

But  could have just brought out a W800 quadband version instead of this. I suppose they have remarketed phones before with tiny added features (T68m>T68i/T610>T630/K750>W800) so i guess they will do so again.
@ Dragoneye, the S710a was a good phone! But i get ur point, not much recent stuff (850 band) since then from

perhaps they have included 3.5mm jack this time round, seems likely since the new motorola rokr e2 has one. |

a 3.5mm jack would be a nice enhancement. very curious to see how much the w810 will go for, i'm guessing $499. btw, it's hilarious that the new rokr isn't itunes compatible. talk about a major bust. |

From that pic it looks like 3.5mm jack only on the headphone/mic. I just think that picture looks photoshopped to be honest. K600 side buttons either side of joystick. T610 buttons. I dunno, we will have to wait and see  |

don't forget.. they've dropped the joystick.. i hope SE leaves the joystick entirely... i was a fan before but lately they've all gone wacky and have become unresponsive..
the new SE dpads are great w550i/w600i/w900i |

well whoever photoshopped it should be working for SE's design team. it's nicely laid out and looks great too. not sure what everyone has been complaining about with the w810, we've all been moaning about the w800 and k750's strengths/weaknesses and buying a k750 then flashing to w800, but now we have the best of both worlds. i'm betting that the real reason people are upset is that it means they have to shell out some more cash for a new phone | |
