Sony Ericsson K800i


Summary: Read the full review
Verdict: The K800i is the closest a camera phone has come to matching the quality and functionality of a proper digital camera. Sony Ericsson has raised the mobile photography benchmark with the K800i.
Pros: ; The K800i's photographic performance is striking and slick.
Cons: ; We were expecting an optical zoom for such a high-standing camera phone. The introduction of yet another MemoryStick format means you'll need to splash out more cash to upgrade.

Sony Ericsson K800i review


Summary: : A handset with pizazz, and not all of it comes from the 3.2-megapixel camera... Read the full review
Verdict: For a relatively small and lightweight 3G phone the Sony Ericsson K800i is positively dripping with features and the headline 3.2-megapixel camera isn't the only good thing about it. We aren't big fans of Sony's new tiny Memory Stick Micro, but if nothing else the K800i stylishly shows that 3G handsets have at last made it mainstream
Pros: ; Great camera; neat photography add-ons; high-quality 3G video calling; FM radio
Cons: ; Not enough built-in memory; fiddly memory card format; proprietary headphones connector

Sony Ericsson K800i


Summary: This import Cyber-shot camera phone earns its name with an excellent 3.2MP camera that features autofocus and a Xenon flash. The K800i has more than a camera, offering an MP3 player, Memory Stick Micro slot, FM radio, RSS reader and Bluetooth 2.0. It's a triband phone that's best for T-Mobile users in the US and it has GPRS for data. Read the full review

Summary: Sony Ericsson K800 is one of the handsets we were so anxious to test that we could hardly wait for the phone to be brought in the office. Its highly advertised Cyber-shot camera made us as restless as kids on Christmas morning. Once we got it and before we started working on this review we spent a good deal of time experimenting with the... Read the full review
