Good Points: The 3.2 camera is good
Bad Points:
General comments: Sony Ericsson K800i
Extremely disappointed with the phone's battery life and after sales service provided by Sony.
The K800i was bought on the basis of battery life and a good camera. All references and documents stated that the battery life would last 14 days (350 hours). The actual time the battery life lasted with full signal reception, 3G turned off and other recommended switch offs implemented was a total of five days at the very most. Disappointed with the K800i, I returned the K800i back to the shop, where it was bought, for an explanation. The shop's response was to change the battery. The K800i was tested again and still came out nine days short of the stated 14 days. I returned to the shop once more in order to return the K800i as it did not match the standard as per the documentation. This time the shop's response was, 'Sorry but the phone is now over the 28 days limit for return.' I stated that I had returned the K800i previously and I was told that it was the battery at fault. This means I was the guinea pig for testing the K800i but this was at my expense due to the 28 days time limit. The only other option given by the shop was that the K800i should be returned to the manufacture (Sony Ericsson), otherwise I was stuck with the K800i. The K800i was duly returned to Sony Ericsson as it was clearly malfunctioning.
The phone was returned to me within 13 days with no documentation, no report stating what had been tested and certainty no apology.
As the battery power was flat, I phoned Sony Ericsson for advice as to how long should I charge the phone because the documentation supplied with the phone stated approximately 2.5 hours or until the battery icon indicates a full charge. The adviser from Sony Ericsson stated that no phones actually last the stated time on the documentation due to the phone searching for signal. Also they stated the phone is to be charged until the battery icon shows full and the phoned could not overcharge as the phone is equipped with a stop charge or trickle charge device.
The same process for testing was implemented and the same result returned. The phone only lasts a maximum of five days and not the over stated 14 days as per the documentation. This also now suggests that the documentation provided by Sony Ericsson is a fabrication the true battery life in order to be similar with other leading brands such as Nokia and Samsung.

My wife, daughter and me all own a Sony Ericsson K510I and was pleased at first after a few months the joystick failed on all 3 phones so we sent away my wife's and daughters for repair. My daughters came back repaired but they sent my wife's back un repaired claiming she had spilt liquid into the phone. To prove this they sent a photo of the rusted part, but failed to notice the date the photo was taken was dated 8 months before. after this experience I will never buy another Sony Ericsson pho ...

First I owned the k700i a fairly simple phone with a pretty good camera. then I progressed to the k750i and was amazed by the 2 megapixel camera and all the effects and different modes you could use. Then I got the w550i Walkman phone and absolutely loved it. It held loads of songs had changeable covers and the same features on the camera to the k750i although only 1.3 megapixel. I did not however get on with the popular in ear headphones that come with it but fortunately you could use any earph ...

I have been the owner of Sony Ericsson phones for quite a while and had the T630, Z600 (which I loved) and progressed to the K750i. I was so impressed when I upgraded last year to the K800i... I've had no major problems with it and it suited all my needs. I would thoroughly recommend the K800i to anyone as it has great camera features as well as all the usual MMS, SMS, WAP etc... can't fault them.

I have bought a brand new T230 for my cousin in 2004. It cost around USD100, and I think it is suitable for kids just to let their parent know their whereabouts. On the 11th days the keypad not working, and in a few months the vibrate function not working... Even it is within the warranty period, it is not a good sign to have so many defectives in such short period of time.
The worse of all was the service canter was so crowded! There were absolutely not enough seats, I have stand for at lea ...

As a general rule, I have found all Sony Ericsson phones to be well built, reliable and have superb battery life. These aspects are fundamental to the essence of mobile communications in my view.

I purchased a Sony Ericsson P910i for £200. It worked well for the first 2 weeks, then the screen failed due to a manufacturing error.
Not a problem, as I hadn't even taken the receipt out of my wallet, so I sent it off to the service center who happily advised me that they were not prepared to repair the screen (though why not is not something they would share with me). In addition, it would cost me £30 to have my phone returned unrepaired.
I promptly wrote to their head offi ...
