Sony Ericsson K800 - user opinions and reviews

I have noticed that if you buy a pair of the HPM-70 Headphones, use only the bottom half of the headphones (which is the stereo jack that plugs into the bottom of your phone) and then plug a set of decent 3.5mm headphones of your own, then music playback on this phone is just as good, if not better than the 2 walkman phones that i have tried previously. You can still use the radio with your own headphones as its only the bottom bit that acts as the aerial. However, if you try to use the headphones supplied with the new HPM-70 headset, music playback is worse than what is supplied with the K800 originally. So get yourself a HPM-70 headset and use or buy a good pair of standard 3.5mm headphones - i recommend JVC gummy headphones, and you will sure be glad that you went for the k800 over the w850!

It's normal. All SE phones do that. It's a battery power saving feature

Please Help me,i bought a SEK800. if i am not using the phone(when the phone is turned on) the lights go off after a while. however, by pushing/moving the navigation stick the lights do not turn ON again. to turn the lights on, i have to press some other(any other than the navigation stick) button. is it normal ? or is it a defect in my SE-K800

i got a Q and hopefully i will get some good answers...
is it recommended to flash the firmware of k800i to the k810i???
p.s. i got the latest k800i firmware..r1jg001..

i thought that this phone is great with its camera capabilities, however the flash couldnt be on at all times especially when taking videos in the dark. (which makes it practically useless). the other is that it seems to lag when negotiating through the menus (when u track back to previous menus).
other than that i can take great pics with my kid and print it at mobile kodak kiosk and still it looks great.
as for symbian, i personally do not think it is a great platform, it is porn to viruses, slow and lagging too, the programs aren't that great either, go for microsoft mobile or wait for apple. had used four O2 units in the past year or so but opted for the simplicity of using a phone as a phone rather than anything else which is why the purchase of my k800i. good luck

to teo:
my loud speaker is not working, and you said that you were having problems with the ear speaker, does your loud speaker work ok? i think it is possible that this phone has some defective issues.

The joystick failed after 6 months. When the tech support tried to fix it they broke the memory card retractor, so now you can't use a memory card with it. Poor build quality, wouldn't buy another one.

No you cannot use the video call camera to take pictures. And yes the do provide a usb cable and software to transfer your pictures off, however if you have a memory stick you can put the phone into file transfer mode and you don't need drivers to access data of the phone and memory stick (Only tested on XP)
Yes you can record calls, though you can only start it off once the call has connected. Quality is the same as a standard telephone call.
W850 is a walkman phone and therefore lacks the powerful camera which earn't the k800i its cybershot name. Personaly I would go with the more feature heavy k800i, but its all down to choice, go to a phone shop and get them to show you both.

Please make sure you are all updated to the latest firmware, many of you describe problems fixed in the first firmware update, (Internet button now has to be depressed for 2 secs to prevent accidental browser launch, and remeber you can trigger an automatic keypad lock.)
I've had this phone since august and it has never let me down, Its a great music phone too, I have the walkmen headphones which block out all the external noise and with a 1gb m2 stick, you can fit loads of music.
End of the day its up to you, but if you get a k800i you wont be disapointed.

to answer your question, yes it does have a record function and yes it is very clear. Now ive had this phone for more than 3months, so far the best phone ive had to date, easy to use, none of this nokia.... bullshitt.... symbian system.. who cares.. get a jazjam.. if you want pda functionality... but nothing beats its 3.2 megapixel camera.....yet!!! but i hear SE is realeasing.......... a 5MEGAPIXEL camera to combat n95... oh not to mention.. it will be HSDPA.... obviously faster internet speeds.. and bigger coverage.... hmm.. nokia... sorta a thing of the past.. guys consider ericssons... they are the best phone on the market and so are sasung.. but i hear this new 5megapixel camera is going to blow nokia out of the water...
