Sony Ericsson K800i

Can't believe I've gotten myself a SE K800i phone. I've been telling myself to be content with my Samsung D410c, the first ever slide phone I bought about 2 years back, but what can I say. Well I believe, from time to time, there's a need to pamper ourselves with something which we have set our eyes on. Moreover it will be long till I get another gift since my birthday is still months away. Hiaks~~*

I had a few models in my wishlist at the very beginning. Narrowed them down to the final 2. Been having two minds since, contemplating on whether to get SE K800i, or to go for the latest Nokia N73, which costs more. Finally I went for K800i after much consideration.

My first impression on the phone is that, it simply looks nice, sleek, compact, versatile and most importantly, it comes with a Sony Cyber Shot digital camera, which impresses me a lot. Now I can take good quality pictures whenever there's a need to. I'm sure we don't carry our digital cameras with us all the time, but somehow in handphones, we do.



Here are some of the overview for K800i, taken from Sony Ericsson website.

"A Cyber-shot™ digital camera and a small and sophisticated feature-packed 3G mobile phone all in one. Open the lens cover and you're ready to take the picture. Bring the K800i with you and you have a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus, built-in xenon flash and image and video stabilizer function ready for any moment, anytime. And a 3G phone for sharing your pictures. Instantly.

With the K800i, it’s hard to take a bad picture. Get the picture you want with BestPic™. The unique thing about this feature is that 4 of the resulting images were shot immediately before the camera key is pressed to complete the shot, and 4 immediately after. Pick the best. Delete the rest.

A built-in xenon flash unit gives you real photographic light where lighting conditions are not optimal and K800i eliminates red eye making sure that the pictures you take are simply the best. A camera stabilizer function compensates any small movement of your hand when you’re taking a picture and shooting video.

The site is created the first time you blog a photo and in return get a text message with the Web address and log in data. Send the address to friends and share your life in pictures.
