The Sony Ericsson K800i is the first and the best 3G phone in Sony Ericssons Cyber-Shot™ range of camera phones, which has a 3.2 megapixel Cyber-Shot™ camera with auto focus and a bright xenon flash. It is very big and heavy at 115 grams but even then very beautifully built and finished. The back side has a camera and looks like a camera more than a mobile from there. As it is a heavy phone there will not be much shake when camera is used. The screen of 2 inches acts as a viewfinder too
. BestPic feature allows you to pick the best picture out of nine taken at a time.There is a picture stabiliser to get good quality pictures without shaking. You can edit the videos and pictures yourself using the video editor feature and there is another camera for 3G Video calling.
This camera phone also has a music player with user friendly features. There is a stereo RDS FM radio. The sound quality of the built in speakers are good and are bluetooth supported wireless ones.
As this is a 3G phone it enables 2-way video calling, fast music and video downloads and business applications such as email, supports genuine multitasking, enabling you to talk and access other functions at the same time etc. You can subscribe to RSS feeds and can send the files to your blog and share them with your friends too as a sophisticated web browser is built into the phone. This phone can also connect broadband to your PC through USB cabled connection or by Bluetooth.
There is a wide range of connectivity options available - Bluetooth, USB mass storage, Infrared and Fastport, for connecting a charger, portable hands free, cable or any other accessory. Battery life is excellent for a 3G phone. This mobile Sony Ericsson K800i is an all rounder even though there are somethings missing.
