W810 Model Number Confusion
-
There is no difference between the W810 and the W810i because the W810 model number does not exist in the Sony Ericsson product line. W810 is sometimes erroneously used, (without the "I"), in some third-party blogs and product reviews. In the Sony Ericsson online users guide for this phone it is referred to as the W810a, which is the same W810i phone. Another model number variation is the W810c which again is the same phone only dedicated for use in China.
