Sony Ericsson K810 review: A Cyber-shot is reborn

Sony Ericsson K810 review: A Cyber-shot is reborn - read the full textWhen it comes to cameraphones, the words K800 Cyber-shot always seem to come to mind. The time has come to finally forget it since the famous cameraphone has received a successor in the face of the spanking new Sony Ericsson K810. The same exciting 3.2 megapixel camera packed into a slimmer body and a brand new design.

Hi I wanted to know if this phone has a security lock feature?. for example if the phone is on and when you unlock the keypad it asks for a code for you to unlock the keypad. I need this as I dont want anyone going through my phone.

Get around 3 or 4 days battery off my 810 moderate use of cam, calls, showing videos, bit of net access. Plenty of warning when running down, doesn't just fail. Nice phone, not as 'perfect' as my previous 750 which just felt 'right' for handling and texting, this is a bit more difficult in bigger hands but many phones the same. Cam is very good, options like real camera, flash off, red eye, modes etc. Software upgrade over 750. Keyboard and screen shows fingermarks and collects grease. Nice but not perfect.

k810 rocks men! It is much better than K800! Now I can take high quality pic almost anytime and anywhere. The video resolution is kinna low though, but still at satisfactory level. The sound quality of it is not bad, loud and clear enough. I love the design of the keypad and the lense cover which are much better than k800. Besides, it has xenon flash, bestpic, track id, face wrap and hp print. It is a very good phone and if those people that want a all in 1 phone, k810 is the right choice.

I just buy this phone SE K810i, the design is impresses but the video quality is very poor, his work frame is very low. Outdoor picture is good If you get good light as others phone.
K810i is low in functions, :-( Xenon flash not good
This phone don't play Wave Audio formate.
Contact number not good that i was expected.
Instead of buying a Nokia N95 I buy a K810i because of camera, but sincerely Nokia N95 is the best phone.

Sony Ericsson models now don't impresse me. always same interface
K810i sound is bad in Hight mode, its crash.
I regret to buy this phone which cost me a lots. :-(

Guys think well before you make a decision to buy...

SE K810i is a very very good camera phone, but if your looking for a good mobile phone with camera better stay with Nokia.
SE K810i has easy to use camera & have many digital camera functions(including BestPic & Panorama), good & clear easy to use radio, good clear screen & ringtone, But SE K810 loose out on Nokia in the true mobile phone functions, such as in the storage of Phonebook/Contacts, Nokia 6600 model onward have share memory that can store thousands of Contact (K810 only 1000 contacts or 2500 phone numbers) & can store more than 5 phone numbers per Contact, plus the ability to rename the field on Contact number(not only to Home,Work,mobile& etc), Nokia's SMS/text message can be store in the memory card therefore can store up to thousands of SMS/text. Having a Big Phonebook is an advantage when your a businessman that travel alot(tel# of airlines, travel agent, hotels, clients, suppliers, cargo company & etc), its nice if SE can add fuction or option to enlarge the size of letters in the SMS/txt, because older people have difficulty in reading very small text character.

The kayepad is not very convenient. Better go with K800.

seVIIn:

I was honestly about to buy the K800 when I found out that the K810 became available, and now I'm stuck as to which one to buy... I went all out and got themes, ringtone makers, theme makers, and the PDF manual for the K800 (so that I'd be ready to "mod" it when I bought it), so Looked up the keylock deal. Just hold the * button down from the standby screen.

The one thing that is a turn off for me for both phones is the video quality... I was on the brink of buying a Samsung D900 or U600 because of their superior video quality (over the K800/810), but then I found out that their battery life is around 1.5 days on normal usage.

Well, at least I have till October when my contract ends (if need be) to figure out which phone to buy, and hopefully the K810 will come down in price a bit by then.

Jeebus: I bought it from Simstar at Crystal Mall in Burnaby. I think it was around the same price plus tax (no contract).
Seems like them and Cellworldco are the spots in Van.

4 days in and i've been putting it through it's paces. I really, really like this phone.

cons
-you can't return to the phone from screensaver/time just by hitting the joystick, i was used to that on my old T610
-the screen gets pretty marked up with fingerprints quite easily, you can rub all you want but you'll never be done cleaning
-video quality isn't so hot, not even close
-isn't there a screen/keypad lock btw? what the heck is it?

pros
-beautiful screen and phone design, i couldn't bring myself to liking the size of the K800 even though it was much cheaper, it's mostly the camera cover that bothered me
-fantastic reception, the voice quality is bassy actually
-quick navigation through the menu, keys are easy to use too

seVIIn: Which store did you buy it from, and how much? I'm thinking of getting this, but cellworldco.com is selling it for $519, probably with $140 off if I sign up on a 3yr deal... Still a little steep for me, and I'm always lookin' for a good deal.

Just bought it from a store in Vancouver yesterday afternoon, so it's been charging for over 12 hours overnight.
Put in a sim card this morning. Not all my contacts transferred over unfortunately. Prob due to the old sim card i have.
A couple things i noticed. The ringtone is a little quiet, i'll try some midi's later but my last phone, T610 seems louder.
The battery cover creaks which bugged me but i was able to fix it by folding a standard yellow sticky twice and inserting it between the battery and the battery cover. I'll try to post more thoughts over the next week.
