Review:

This is the first time I've ever changed brand from Nokia which I've had for over 8 yrs. Being very used to Nokia's functionality and menus it was a bit of a "dip my toe in the ocean" moment to change, but as the K800i is the only phone on the market at the moment that does everything I want from a phone (Nokia N95 still a while away yet).

Now I am very hard to please and am a constant researcher into 'my next gadget', i do look around A LOT.

Am I happy I bought this phone? Definitely!

The menus are faultless - functionality is perfect - usability is incredibly easy & quality is the best I've seen on any phone with a rubberised feel to the case.

The thing I've noticed most about this phone is that it connects virtually instantly to my Bluetooth Nokia car kit and works with it better than my Nokias ever did! Weird...

There's no need to mention specs etc as I'm sure if you're reading this you're already fully aware of them, but there has been a lot of mention about the camera function which I have to say is incredible - the photos it takes are actually quite stunning, and I do own a really good digital camera as well, this performs better!

If I have one tiny moan its the camera cover... I'm a little concerned about its lovgevity. It's such a tiny moan though that it in now way takes anything away from how fantastic the K800i. Besides you can buy a replacement original case for about £20 so it's not a major concern.

So to summarise if you're looking for a new phone that takes great photos, is a fantastic music player, an extrememely fast web browser (which actually does display the webpage as it should be seen) then look no further than the Sony Ericsson K800i.
