Advantages: cheap and reliable with amazing quality camera and features

Disadvantages: some users may think this phone is out-dated and prefer a newer model

The Sony Ericsson K800i was the first phone I used for business use. It has a slick professional feel to it that can still compete against some of today's latest models feature for feature. It's one of those classic phones that people will always rely on for many years to come.

One of the best selling points for the Sony Ericsson K800i is its impressive 3.2 mega-pixel digital camera. In the K800i's prime this was one of the first and finest 3.2 mega-pixel cameras on the market. After trying various other mobiles in recent years, the Sony Cyber-shot camera you get here with the BestPic software can take nine shots in a row - all of which at very high quality.

For my work I mainly used this phone as a mobile camera, more so than a mobile phone. It could take reasonable good quality photos of most things, especially macro and document shots, which is where it's major strengths are.

With a memory card inside the K800i you can fill it up with high quality photos and use your phone as a stylish candybar MP3 player, Dictaphone and video player. With the standard office software that comes with the phone, you can plan your day with ease and sync with your laptop or other devices via USB or Bluetooth so you are never late or miss an appointment again.

The Sony Ericsson K800i is still as relevant today as it was well over a year ago. If you are looking for a reliable, cost effective, business mobile (which has been tagged 'the gentleman's phone') with an outstanding camera this model is perfect for you.
