Product reviewsSONY ERICSSON K810i JAMES BOND PHONE-UNLOCKED WITH NEW CHARGAR,BATTARY &WARRANTY

K800i - Great little phone! a few quirks with it though...

I expected it to have a longer battery life, but maybe its because its a second hand product. It's smaller than I remembered too and texting can be a bit tricky. I'm in love with the Camera and the nostalgic aesthetic of phones back in the 2000's .

Just bear in mind.. If your buying this, then you will need a Sony Ericsson charger and a lead to convert the charger port into a 3.5mm jack for headphones. DOES NOT HAVE JACK PORT. The converter works fine :) The other thing is charging itself. I cant charge it from a USB socket and have tried three different cable and three different sockets. I dont know if its because its an old phone, but it will charge on all my cables if plugged into a PC or laptop, very odd.

Its a very nice, retro phone and if you want some nostalgia for under £30 or so, its brilliant. It was a great phone back then and still is now :) Remember its different to phones now, is a lot smaller an a bit more tricky to text / navigate.Read full review...

Classic design

Got a good joystick very responsive and flash is good and camera is good enough for a 3.2mp but photos are quite dull sometimes the colour is not captured. It can take a 8gb card m2 memory card but doesn't have a very loud speaker. Size is compact and pocktable and the keypad buttons are responsive and not that fiddly you can easily text with them.

k800i Great Camera, Good Phone but with a Weakness

First the weakness: the phone can be prone to software issues which cause the operating system to become corrupted.. mine started loosing capability java games, themes etc. I think this has something to do with the way it was unlocked. This can be fixed with a re-flash (£20-£30 in most shops); to be on the safe side I'd suggest getting one which is locked to your chosen network or one that has been completely de-branded.

If you want a good solid camera which is also a very usable phone the Sony Ericsson k800i is one of the best around; I'd argue that it is better than many of the newer models. At 3.2 Mega-pixel it is good enough for all day to day snaps. The xenon flash makes it good indoor and out. The BestPic feature is nice, this takes nine picture in rapid succession; it is very good for catching a smile on our 4 month old and our dog. The only snag is that it the auto-focus has a noticeable delay, you can however get reasonable pictures with this turned off.

What I really love is the blog feature. All you do is select a picture and "send to blog". A blog is automatically created, the picture is posted and you get a text with the web address and log-in details; all following pictures are added to the same site. It is perfect for sharing pictures with family abroad. Also it means if you loose your phone you have a back-up of your favourite pics (albeit in lower resolution). If you get free web use for topping up (3, Virgin) it is like sending loads of picture messages for free.

The one thing I'd change is the joystick as I find it is easy to press in by accident while navigating. Also the calculator is rubbish.Read full review...

Not perfect but very happy with this phone

I needed a decent camera phone, K800i is a bit old now but it's still a beauty. Makes phone calls (!) and takes great pictures.

Being picky I'd say it's a bit too easy to open the camera cover (the K810i fixed that), the buttons are a little small and it seems to use more battery than I'd expect but that could just be an old battery needs replacing.

Overall I'm very happy with this as a cheap solution to my need!Read full review...

My Excellent Camera with a Phone

Bought to replace the same model that I had since 2008 but sadly dropped and broke!
The quality of the lens, images and photo software is well above average and can be enlarged and printed to a high standard.
The USB connection is ideal for downloading to computer. The screen is a generous size for looking at photos and for reading texts.
Using a memory card allows for photo storage.
And I like the traditional touch key pad.Read full review...

RETRO SONY ERICCSON

The phone is not state of the art by modern standards. However, it has all basic facilities including a 3.2 megapixel camera. Internet access is available, but if long battery life is required the facility can be disabled. The phone is of compact size and is less cumbersome than a modern smartphone and fits in your pocket easily. I would purchaes another and would recommend it if you don't need a smartphone/Iphone.Read full review...

Its the little tinhgs that ruin the big things

So basically the phone is a good phone. It has lots of different options, loads of features, its fairly fashionable and has a good camera. The Music player is great, the picutres it takes are good and the flash on the phone makes pictures look even better.

However there is one problem with these phones which would tell me that you shouldn't get one .. and thats the joystick movement.

For what seems in my experience, ALL Sony Ericson handsets have a problem which eventually occurs to the joystick, especially when trying to use it to go up on a playlist/something.

If you are looking for a long lasting phone that is a Sony and has good features, just remember to not get any which have the crappy little joystick! :)Read full review...

reliable, long battery life and easy to replace spare to hand, 16gb M2

Having spent years on iphone, I was compelled to return to an old favourite Sony Ericsson K800i. Aside from limited access to the Internet, this phone is outstandingly reliable, with excellent camera, built in radio etc. and in spite of the 2gb recommendation of the manufacturers, it is currently using a 16gb M2 mainly for music and where with the assistance of good quality Philips earpieces, the sound of this indestructible, ultrareliable phone puts the iphone in the shade. Another plus, when and where necessary, which it rarely is, is the convenience of being able to carry and to replace a battery in seconds.Read full review...

Good : not great.

I'll rate the phone a '3' : as I'm unable to send picture messages (due to issues with internet), a shame, as the photos are excellent quality, sound isn't bad and the ability to use hands free, along with the video call is non existent.Read full review...

Fairly User friendly phone.

This was to replace my very old and cream crackered original Sony Ericcson, which I liked so much I wanted another one. I had a smart phone but preferred the Sony Ericsson. I really like this phone and the camera is brilliant.Read full review...
