This phone is a bit 'brick like' according to reviewers but it's barely different from the w580i I had before this one. It's slightly larger and does not slide open but it's much better at what it does. The camera is VERY much better! pics taken with this camera are actually usable and worth keeping (read about features they are nice), the w580i had only 2MP camera and the pics looked awful, like an old webcam would take. Of course quality declines with poor lighting but it has built in flash that usually takes care of that unless we're talking VERY dark situations, like some open concept bars or outdoors at night at a distance. The music player is essentially the same and is fine for my basic needs. I says it's memory card capacity is something like 4GB but I use an 8GB card with no issues. I've also read many complaints about the joystick like navigator button but I don't mind it at all. Granted it doesn't look particularly pretty, the w580i looks cooler so I guess it depends what you want more, good camera OR smaller cooler design.Read full review
I think SE did a very good phone this time. Its not long since its been released so not enought time to check on software bugs etc, however I do beleieve that this phone is the best that ever released from any company. For example its relatively small for pocket with large bright screen and brilliant quality. It has evertyhing a user can ask for. 65MB internal memory, codes file (to save your bank or other pins and codes that you easily can forget), MMS, SMS, video conference, 3G, ecxelent colours, games that can even make your PSP stay at home, playability, duarbility, camera, battery durability is fair for so many functions, calculator, a very good internet support on many sites including the official, nice touch and construction based on velevet feeling. And finaly the 3,2 MP for taking photos. I am sure that when you will try to get a photo at night you will be so impressed about the quality. I have tried it on my vacations when my digital cam (7,1MP) run out of battery and my k800i was there for me. The picture quality was amazing. Nice shots even at night no red eyes, stable fuction etc. The negative parts are that the joystick is still not enough to play games with the volume and the quality of music played from the speakers and headphones isnt of the best expecting quality. I would expect a better walkman fuction from Sony. Unfortunately the quality of the hands free given is not the best and finaly the photo cover is not positioned in a conviniend and safe place. It should be made to open harder and not everytime you put it inside your pocket there are good chance to find the lense cover on. I think thats all. Also and I leaved it for the end, I must protest about the M2 memory stick that is way too very expensive comparing to other phones memory cards. That I think is the weakest point of that cell phone. Overally the best quality phone you can have so far and by far. I dont think someone will need another phone for the next 2-3 years.Read full review
Hey guys, the best thing i did with my Sony Ericsson K800i is that i replaced my digital camera with a cellphone while i did my last travelled. I was in my backpack so i decide to leave behind that device which has got only one function (taking pictures) and brought along a multi-purpose cellphone. Not to my disappointment, those pictures are taken so well and clear. Though the pictures taken after night falls are not as good as digi cams. The good thing about cellphone with a good camera is that you can take good pictures of yourself by just one hand and thats what i did when i travelled alone! I tried with digi cams but my head looked appeared too hugh on the picture. With the little round convex mirror next to the cybershot, i am able to position myself quite accurately and capture my beautiful memories. Buying this phone has no regrets!Two thumbs UP!!!Read full review
I bought the k800i cyber-shot about a month ago. the 3.2 mp takes really nice photos. i love it! i've never seen such a cell phone that takes this great of a picture. the features are almost like every other but the colors are so vivid. i dont know why but i cant send pix messages though. i have the unlimited txt and pix messaging on my plan but i still cant seem to use it. in order to send a pix, i'm assuming, you'll have to be connected to the internet from the phone. i dont want to be charged extra just for sending a picture that i'm already paying for it's package. overall, i'm really satisfied with the phone though because ever though i cant send pic messages i can still load them onto my computer using the usb wire.
Sony Ericsson has gone on to partner with Sony Electronics to introduce, for the first time, a Cybershot phone with 3.2-megapixel CMOS sensor, the K800i. Unlike its predecessors, the K800i comes complete with a host of new and useful features that everyone would appreciate. It's a Camera, a Phone and an MP3 Player Despite all the marketing surrounding camera phones, the fact of the matter is that most, especially 2.0-megapixel camera phones, are unable to reproduce the same quality capture as a standalone digital camera of similar pixel count. The key difference between the two lies in image noise (grains) and this inadequacy of camera phones is all the more evident when pictures are taken in poorly lit environments. Blurring from handshakes is also more pronounced compared to standalone digital cameras because camera phones only have very basic imaging components. With the K800i however, Sony Ericsson finally has a camera phone that can truly boast imaging quality comparable to compact digital cameras. Besides supporting a higher resolution of 3.2-megapixel, the K800 is also fitted with Sony's Super Steady Shot (SSS) anti-handshake technology, thereby giving it an edge over competition. Due to mechanical constraints, the K800i does not come with the sort of optical zoom as those found in say the new Cybershot T30. What it does have is 16x digital zoom. Sadly, it doesn't feature the infamous Carl Zeiss lens that almost all Cybershot cameras have. Happily however, the K800 has auto-focus (infinite, normal and macro), which should give it better focusing property than traditional camera phones. Besides sharing some scene modes (eg. Auto, Twilight Portrait, Twilight Landscape, Landscape, Portrait, Beach/Snow, Sports, and Document) with a number of Cybershot cameras, the K800 also lets you take photos with cool effects such as negative and "cartoony" frames. Interestingly, the K800i has several imaging related functions such as BestPic, effects, frames and panorama (via stitching) that even most Cybershot cameras lack. The BestPic mode is particularly handy, as it captures a series of eight photos in quick succession and lets you pick and save the one you are most satisfied with while the rest is discarded automatically to conserve limited memory space. Considering the multitude of functions the K800i supports within its handy frame, we were mightily impressed by how well image noise (grains) were suppressed in our sample shots – although fuzzy spots were visible. Details on the other hand disappointed slightly and not quite as comparable to digital cameras of similar pixel count. Overall color reproduction was satisfactory though, making it one of the best camera phones till date. However, for photo printouts, especially to a size of A4, we recommend that pictures are first processed for sharpening and noise reduction It's a Camera and More The K800i is a fun phone to have and we recommend it for those who don't want to carry two separate devices. Feature wise, the K800 is quite similar to the K750 with the exception of 3G video calls and RSS that mobile warriors would especially when moving about. The only gripe we had was the low 15FPS of its video recording mode. In a nutshell, the Sony Ericsson K800i has almost all the features you would want in a modern nifty device.Read full review
