Firmware: R3BH002 prg12041731_GENERIC_AO JP-8.3.0
(Press: * right * left left * left *)
This phone has been great so far. The only criticisms are minor niggles:
The screen is a little smaller that I thought it would be (it's not the width of the phone, it's actually narrower inside the black glass that you see).
The keys are hard plastic instead of the rubber you have on the K800i -- my finger nails keep slipping.
It's a little thicker than the W880i -- too bad they couldn't have kept it as thin as that phone -- but it feels fabulously solid and the slide-out for the 5 megapixel camera works well.

SonyEricsson M600i
Firmware CXC 162071 R3B01 CXC 162037 R4A002, vodafone branded
When this phone first came out I thought it looked so cool that I used my contract renewal upgrade karma against it.
I think the funky two-key per key qwerty keyboard works.
I've been disappointed with the software, however. This post-990i version of UIQ just feels really hard to navigate.
There appears to a bug with the browser which prevents over-the-air downloads from working. The download progress bar doesn't work unless you jiggle it with pause/resume. Sometimes I've seen files say 111% downloaded. Once the file is downloaded, if the sisx or jar file is small enough, it'll try to do the install (but e.g. GoogleMaps incorrectly downloads an unsigned sis file, which won't install on this Symbian 9.X phone). If I try a bigger sisx file (say over 800K, e.g. AgileMessenger), it'll say install file corrupted.
After long use, the touch screen pen no longer stays in its holder.
This phone sucks.

SonyEricsson W950i
Same over-the-air download problems as the SonyEricsson M600i, but without the slightly redeeming two-key-per-key qwerty keyboard and instead a gimpy, plasticky feeling numeric keypad.
This phone sucks.

SonyEricsson W880i
Firmware: R1JC002 JP-7.3
This phone was one of the first great SonyEricsson feature phones with SonyEricsson's new JP-X software stack. Slim and works great.
The keypad is a little annoying but workable.
This phone doesn't suck, unless you get a Vodfone UK-crippled one that has root certificates removed and so won't install 3rd party software.
