Hi
Just thought I would rebut a few of the criticisms about the lack of a quantum leap in style/features (I am a telecoms engineer and have friends at R&D at SE).
The basic design is good with good ergonomics and a tough case, going the Motorola route would mean a flimsy phone with shorter battery life. Ever read the comments when phones first come out? Lots of 'it freezes' 'it shuts off' etc. SE are being sensible and taking a good stable platform and improving it. All phones are a compromise; the perfect phone would have a PC keyboard, a 19 inch screen, 100X optical zoom, dual core pentiun, terrabits of memory a fusion reactor good for a million years of power but be the size of a stick of gum! The key thing with camera phones are power consumption, physical size and the optical system. It is very hard to make an autofocus system this small and rugged, the level of precision required is incredible. Also due to the limitations of the optical materials the CCD has to be very high density, you cant fit a conventional sized array a few mm from the lense, you just cant bend the light enough! Another factor is economics. SE could have come up with a stunning new case and designed completely new circuitry, however that costs LOADS and then you would be wishing you could afford this phone instead of playing with it! Finally to the guy who criticised the lack of office software - sorry but does it look like a PDA to you? It is a camera phone - ie it is a very good mobile with a very good camera and an excellent MP3 player and radio as bonuses. Some of us like to get away from work once in a while and dont want to sit on the train trying to do a spreadsheet on their mobile! All in all I think SE have done a stunning job of producing an excellent phone with a good balance of features and performance at a price that is affordable. By the way, xenon flashes put out a huge amount of light in a VERY short period of time, which means that you will get sharper and less blurred pictures than with LED systems which require longer exposure times and have a shorter range for the size and power consumption.
Hope this helps!

Why do Sony Ericsson still insist on using those nasty plastic joystick things, don't they know by now they're prone to failure

for god's sake ,people! stop comparing a nokia symbian phone with this one. even the price isn't the same category . why don't you compare them with one from the same category -> the p990 which has symbian.

Its a good phone. But again incomparable to N93. Sony Ericsson lost this time. The more fierce camera smartphone takes the title in digital camphone photography. The winner is N93

HeyHey... couldn't agree with you more...the reason I sent back my N80 was the pic/vid quality at night is terrible!! Used to have the K750 and didn't really want that coz of the design etc but was very impressed with it ...I'm sure the same will be said for the K800...if and when o2 pulll their finger out and send me one!!

Xenon flash is no doubt a great new feature but i have been reading a lot about it.
Cell phones with good led light can and may be even better than a Xenon light.
the thing is, use a feature which tops in its category ... a great led light compared to an ordinary xenon flash will still be preferred. Companies play us for a fool!
Don't be aware of the technology only also know the technology!

come to think of it, this might be the BEST camera phone in the market. Why? Coz this is the ONLY phone with XENON flash. So even at night, total darkness, in a club... You could take broght and clear pictures without notes.
Compared to n73 and n93, they might have good specs as well, but come night, there cameras are useless!!!

SE K800 is merely an upgrade of SE K750 in the Following manner:
- Former had 2.0 MP Camera where as the latter posseses 3.2 MP.
- K750 is just a GSM Phone but K800 is 3G with UTMS support.
- K750 has screen resolution of 176x220 Pixels where has K800 is enriched with 320x240 Pixels resolution.
- K750 lacked multiple tasking where as K800 allows users to keep working with multiple applications at the same time.
- K750 Music Player was an upgrade of the one already embeded in SE's best selling market giant K700 where as K800 has been enriched with the Music Player from "W" series mobile phones.
- K750 had PRO DOU Memory Stick but K800 brings a reduced size Memory card M2.
Apart from the aforesaid key differences, both are one and the same things except with diffrent weight and a bit changes in the phone dimensions which is not much considerable.
Here the point of concern is not as to how much difficult it should be for the users to decide to go for any of these both phones rather it is very easy as a matter of fact. Differences are very minutes and negligible except for the Enhanced Camera Resolution and the Multiple tasking feature in K800 which in my opinion shall not be of much concern for the normal users. As far as the picture quality as an ultimate out put is concerned, both have the same quality except the end user gets more vivid colors as an output with the print out in more large size. But the real dilemma comes when a Potential users wants somehow real upgrade in their current handsets. This way this phones regrettably fails to bring any innovation. One finds nothing in terms of technological boost, no change in the User Interface, the phone still lacks support for viewing the documents, no compatibility with the third party applications (We can't even expect this if talk about the "Tools" etc. This way the phone completely loses to Nokia N73 except we expect K800 offering a very few stability problems and due to Symbion's latest version, N73 still may have certain issues in this regard but those shall not be of that much worth to stop someone really looking for any comprehensive, solid and compact device offering more business conveniences. To cut a long story short, this shall very useful handset with a very good camera for those who seldomnly think about the aspects which have been mentioned above but for those who really need to change their cell phone due to some solid technological upgrades should never prefer this set as this is just a multimedia mobile phone offering very limited business solution.
