Also: The W950i does indeed rock out with it's cock out, and I don't mind about the no camera as I have my K800 for that
Hello all!

yeah checked the specs out last night, would seem that it does indeed support WLAN.
which reminds me about my new phone experiences, I shall post here:
Phoned 3 about my upgrade last week, only thing they offered me that interested me was another K800i for ?49.99, same tariff i'm on for another 12months (they no longer do a tariff as good as mine, not even for 18month customers), so I said I'd ring them back. Went into phone shops at t'weekend and couldn't get anything better, spoke to my mate and he agreed to buy my current K800i off of me for ?100.
Phoned 3 yesty to go ahead with the afore-mentioned, convo went summat like this:
Me: Hi, I phoned up last week and was given some options for upgrading and I'd like to go ahead with one of them please
-- 3 confirms my security details --
3: OK, was it the Nokia N73 that you wanted to upgrade to?
Me: No, that was a different option, I'd like (tells him afore-mentioned option)
-- 3 goes away for a bit --
3: So, was it the personalised plan you wanted for ?35/month?
Me: No, I want to stay on the same tariff i'm on now, for another 12months
-- 3 goes away for a bit --
3: So, are you saying that you want to keep the same tariff, and have a brand new K800i for free?
Me: No, I was told I'd have to pay ?49.99 for the phone if I wanted to stay on the same tariff
-- 3 goes away for a bit longer --
3: Sorry sir, all I can offer you is to stay on the same tariff you're on now for another 12months, and we'll give you a brand new K800i for free...
-- slightly bemused now --
Me: OK...
-- before I can ask him to repeat himself --
3: ... and we'll give you a credit on your line-rental of just over a month's worth, works out to be ?41
-- wtf?! --
Me: Er, can you just repeat that?
-- 3 repeats himself --
Me: So, can I just confirm that you're going to renew my current tariff at the same price for another 12months?
3: Yes
Me: And give me a brand new SonyEricsson K800i for free?
3: Yes
Me: And give me a credit of ?41 on my line rental?
3: Yes sir, so until the credit is used up you won't have to pay any line rental
Me: Ok then, that should be fine
3: Hold on though, did we give you a K800i in November?
Me: Yes
3: Was that an upgrade then?
Me: No, that was due to all the problems with my previous handsets
3: Was it a new or re-furbished handset?
Me: They told me they were sending a re-furbished one
3: Did it come with accesories?
Me: Yes
3: Definitely a brand new one then
Me: Oh right
3: I just need to check whether you need to send that back
-- 3 goes away for a bit --
3: I'm told that because the upgrades team is a seperate department from the repairs department you don't need to send the handset back, so you can keep it and your new handset will be with you tomorrow
Me: Ok, thanks very much
3: Thanks so much for being patient, goodbye.
