Advantages: Camera 3.2mp

Disadvantages: Size depending on how you look at it!

Intro
One of the best cameraphones out there, cast aside your digital camera and your Mp3 player they are no longer needed. Pack away your Xbox 360 - you wont have time for that with this phone!

Dimensions
The phone may be built like a brick but in my eyes this is a great advantage. Im a serial "Phone Dropper" ive watched too many super-slim phones fall to the floor and smash to ever get anything so small and fragile again! This solidly constructed phone weighs in at 115g which, whilst being heavier than your average size 0 phone, is not at all heavy compared to its other 3G counterparts. This extra bulk allows for a steadier shot when using the camera, reducing camera shake dramatically.

Camera
With 3.2 megapixels at your disposal your phone pictures will no longer be blurry and fuzzy. Each image i take is crisp and warm meaning my digital camera is no longer required. Unlike most other 3G phones this comes with a brilliant xenon flash and auto focus meaning you can take great photos in the lowest of light. One of the phones best features is surely the BestPic function, the phone takes 9 pictures at a time enabling you to select the perfect image.
I have taken some truely fabulous photos with my phone and printed them out via bluetooth.

Music
The music player is more than a match for your Mp3 player - it even allows you to store playlists. The speakers emit a good quality of sound and unlike most phones dont sound so tinny and metalic!
Unlike previous Sony Ericson phones the K800i has a FM radio although in order to use it the headphones must be plugged in as the aerial is built into them.

Memory
Unfortunatly the K800i doesnt come with any memory card but thankfully it has a slot to upgrade the memory. It is compatable with M2 memory cards which are very reasonable these days, you can pick up a 2gb card for around £15. I opted for the 1Gb card as I dont have too many songs to store!

Summary
This phone is a bargain at the moment, I have seen these go for around £40 on Ebay, and I purchased mine for £70 on PAYG from Orange. So go ahead grab yourself a bargain this christmas!

Summary: A must buy!
