Very good phone with a crisp clarity. Survives many knocks and bumps and comes up smiling. Excellent 3.2mp camera which outstrips many 5mp cameras. Powerful xenon flash as used in proper digital cameras. Best Pic - take 9 shots just before the shutter id pressed and just after - excellent for moving subjects.
Excellent music player although not a walkman phone so it lacks some features, but it does the job well.
Sony Ericsson largely made their name releasing this phone. It won lots of awards at the time of release. Now, however, it is a little dated. If you want a handset that's a 'fashion statement' this phone is not for you as it is a tad bulky and out of date. However if you want a reliable, robust phone with an excellent camera and don't care about fashion, this is the phone for you!
Reading many reviews and from my own experience, many people are returning to the k800i as it's so reliable. As a self confessed phone-aholic I've been through many phones and always return to this one for it's reliability.
Lens for the camera easily slides open in your pocket draining your battery. Easy to press the internet button by mistake.
