What is it: Glossy 3.2-megapixel camera phone, featuring auto-focus and xenon flash
What we think: Aside from the small keys on the keypad, this is a good camera phone, but it's a shame it's practically identical to its predecessor

"Fundamentally flawed"

The camera; clear text
What I don't like:
Pretty well everything else
Review:
My company chose the K810i following recommendations on numerous review sites. We are locked into 18-month contracts, otherwise we would have thrown our K810i's in the bin. Main problems: (i) frequently doesn't ring at all for incoming calls; (ii) it's INCREDIBLY slow! It takes a full 5 seconds for most actions – even moving from one icon to the next on the directory window; (iii) even when it does ring, it's too easy to miss: even if it's nearby, in your pocket, whatever – and of course that's at full volume; (iv) it lost and/or mixed up a load of my contacts details when I transferred from my previous sim card; (v) it's just lost me an important meeting because the calendar alarm went off two hours AFTER the time it was set for; (vi) yes, as others say, the keys are too small; (vii) the technology is outdated and clumsy. I tried an iPhone while in the States, and thought that was how technology should look and work. No more Sony Ericsson for me. Avoid! for your sanity!

Latest Mobile phone Reviews
BlackBerry Storm 2
Clicking touchscreen may be useful for clumsy people, but ditching the Qwerty keyboard has its drawbacks
INQ Mini 3G
Sluggish at times, and not the easiest phone to use, but it offers a great range of features at a low price
BlackBerry Bold 9700
Has everything that makes the BlackBerry format great, but other smart phones offer more innovation
