Title of review 3.2 megapixel phone
What are the strengths? One of the best features of this phone is the 3.2 megapixel camera. It has a cool body and the sharp QVGA screen is amazing. An extensive feature set is incorporated with the phone making it a delight to use.
What are the weaknesses? Lack of M2 card and the phone menu seems slow at first.
Summary This is an amazing looking phone with some great features. The 3.2 megapixel camera takes great pics but limited settings are a deterrent to the optimum use of the cam.

Title of review Competent phone
What are the strengths? Sleek design, clear and sharp QVGA screen, 3.2-megapixel camera and numerous onboard camera settings are the key USP's of this product. BestPic and Picture Blogging function are a boon for bloggers. It has a built-in Xenon flash to aid the good image quality of the camera. there is also an image stabilizer.
What are the weaknesses? Poor camera settings selection interface is dampner to the great camera. The load time for the phone menu is sluggish. The camera features no optical zoom and there is no bundled M2 card.
Summary The Sony Ericsson K800i is a competent camera and phone rolled into a sleek form factor.

Title of review great phone
What are the strengths? ability to intergrate with GPS system as a hands free

checking email from phone is handy

camera is very good
What are the weaknesses? keys are a bit fiddly
slow start up
Summary i don't know that i would use the phone for internet surfing but for checking my inbox it saves me logging on to my computer plus I can do it while on the go.
The camera is very good but if you are serious about photography than buy a stand alone camera, that said for those quick takes and for blogging those photos to a site I found it painless. and easy.
Setting up for the internet using the wizard worked although I do not understand why I was given a key password?
Email is best setup manually.
For phone book and internet details you are better off putting them in Microsoft outlook and then connecting your phone to the computer and using the Sync function found in the included software, it is that easy and much quicker than trying to key the information in using the phone.
Despite some saying it does not come with a micro card it does.A micro card is in the slot and it is 64 meg, however if you take a lot of photos get the 1 gig card.
As a hands free with your GPS it integrates without any problems although I found the speaker volume a little low and you will need to turn your GPS volume up amd position your external mic on the sunvisor.

All in all a very good allrounder and highly recommended
