Excellent phone!
Although this phone came out in 2006, it is still holding it's own. It has a 3.2 MP camera which outstrips many 5MP phones. It has a powerful xenon flash which you usually find only on standalone digital cameras. No paltry LED flash on this one. I've dropped mine hundreds of times but it still comes up smiling.It has a decent music player but can't compete with walkman phones, but you wouldn't expect it to as it is a cybershot so the emphasis is on the camera. On the downside the camera protector tends to slide open in your pocket or bag, draining your battery. This is the only fault I've come across so it's 5 stars from me! Highly recommended, get one of these classic phones on the world market as soon as you can. You'll kick yourself otherwise!

Absolutely fantastic
I would recommend this phone to anyone who is after a Sony Ericsson. Mine has been going strong for over two years now.
Everything is working fine. Though the joystick may need dust removing from around it as the reaction time now and then is slow. That is probably the only thing wrong I can think of worth this model.
Due to the design of the joystick and keypad, it may require an air duster to blow the dust from around the sensors. Otherwise this is probably the best handset made by Sony Ericsson, especially for battery consumption.

Super Phone!
With a 3.2mp camera which often outstrips a 5mp camera, decent music player and easy to use interface this is a sure fire winner. Pity it's been largely discontinued. On the downside the lens does tend to open in your pocket or bag and taking photos of nothing but if you can overlook this then this is the camera for you. It's made of sturdy build quality, survives many knocks and bumps and the like, but still comes up smiling! Even now there are few Sony Ericsson's that can match it. Highly recommended.

simply great
I have just gotten the phone for my birthday, and I must say my first reaction was rejection because of the size and weight of the phone. But once I started browsing the software and all the features I truly fell for the phone in spite of its size and weight and now we are inseparable. I just treat it as a camera with phone. The camera is excellent 3.2mgp, the best pictures I have seen from a mobile, the video, picture, and music dj are a brilliant feature of this phone. Last year I got Motorola but I put it in my drawer and used my 3 years old Samsung instead. This one is my best friend for now.

K800i review - 5/5
So far this phone is great. Looks good and has a very nice screen. First unit had to be returned due to strange problem - phone would not switch on after a reboot. However no such problems with the replacement. I am still awaiting the 1GB MM2 card - sony seems to have trouble supplying the demand which is daft as only this phone has a use for it at present and they are able to meet the demand for the phone. Not yet taken any pictures with the phone. only complaint so far would be the complete lack of technical details in the user guide eg how to do change a theme or ringtone dont know why this is such - most issues i have found but some took some digging around through countless menues.

Impressed
I had a 6230 and have just upgraded. Software very easy to use, camera quality is brilliant with loads of extra features that you can use to get a better picture!
Some nice little touches that may have been there on other Sony Ericssons that weren't present on my Nokia too.
Overall I would recommend as a very good phone!
