Frankly speaking, k800 doesn't look elegant to me. Really bulky and squary if compare to other SE models. K750 on the other hand looks a lot more elegant and fine in term of design.







The 3.2 MP cam doesn't really matter to me, I would rather get a K610 and a REAL sony cybershot separately

No offence, just my opinion. It's just too big for me. I'm not someone who likes ultra-small phone but also I dislike bulky model like this

Yeah...forgot to mention the unbalanced "screen:keypad" ratio. Design wise K800 reminds me of Nokia 3230

I was tempted to get K800 at first when I looked at the spec. But after looking at the real unit itself I lost my interest on it.

P/S: I wish I live in Japan

Was once deciding between N80 and K800 too, but I guess I'm going to get N80 (only when the price drops), if not other phones.

Let me try to answer your questions first. I am neither a K800 nor N80 user, never use them before also but solely based on my research and common sense. Please also feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

1. Yea, N80 is the winner. Unless you don't mind to pay for the cost of expensive 3G usage charge. But point to ponder - wifi drains battery very fast... so whether it is practical or not is another matter altogeher.

2. N80 i guess, K800 is not even qualified as a smart phone. PDA replacement? maybe...Laptop replacement? nope... You'll get totally different experience when surfing web/viewing documents/playing video etc. using laptop. The screen of N80/K800, though is big, still has limitation.

3. No idea about sound quality. Have read some review elsewhere. Some said cannot see real difference between the two, some said K800 is slightly better. For games, you can find only java games in K800 while you can fine symbian games also in N80.

4. Definitely K800. Never use a symbian phone before, but so far never seen a single SE user complaining about "oh my phone is so slow!!!!!" (which is very common when i scan through S60 phone threads). I have to make sure that I can accept the speed of symbian phones before spending my cash.

5. To me they are the same, just a format anyway. But definitely MiniSD is more common hence I think will be cheaper.

6. K800 wins...has better camera, Autofocus, Xenon-flash and Sony's know-how bla bla bla (though I can see a lot of people are expecting too much from SE...come on guys don't forget it's mainly a phone, not camera). If you're not someone who's very particular on camera quality, N80's one is definitely acceptable. And when it comes to video capture, N80 will be the obvious winner.

7. Extra poins here...K800 doesn't look appealing in term of design for me. I prefer the design of N80, but I'm still considering between N80 and N73 and maybe other options, guess K800 already out of list now. But no offence guys, it's just the matter of preference.

8. In term of price...K800 is a lot more friendly (rather understandable because of its relatively simpler functions)

It's just different themes and icons, but other things are quite similar right? (like the menu items, the placements etc)

I think all the modern SE phones (since T610) are quite standard in term of UI except it's a symbian UIQ (M/P series)

w00tz nice....

Hello K800 owners. It's probably a bit hard for me to check through 94 pages and look for this little information, so I hope somebody can help me to answer this question.

In K750, it is quite slow to browse my gallery (as in moving left and right, opening it and etc, rendering it really takes a long time) Is it getting faster in K800? And what about a folder with, let's say 100 of 3.2 Mega pixels images?

Thanks in advance

awww....that's saddening

That means viewing a folder with load of image files will still be a troublesome process?

Any chance of this problem being noticeably improved in upcoming firmware? Hopefully it will be better when I buy it

But my plan of getting any new handphone tergendala for a while haha, since I bought too much things in mega sales today

Hope so, though I strongly believe it won't improve really much

Megasales until september la

Thanks for your information, at least it's better than K750. And hopefully new firmware can further improve this a little bit

Wow slightly expensive here

And instalment plan...it's pain sometimes to see your phone getting outdated but you're still paying for it every month

I disagree.

As long as the AP distributor is has good reputation, and the price difference is too big, I don't see any reason not getting AP set.

Let's see, some people might use their phone for one year or less, and if the price difference is like RM400, getting AP set might be a better deal. If the phone is under good care I don't think the risk is that big

After the warranty period, there is probably no big difference between AP and ori set already (except the firmware update thingy)

Just my 2 cents

I think can't update firmware means the SEUS will detect it as "no update available" It won't go paralyse (I'm still using the old firmware of my K750 and it looks fine despite some minor bugs).

Unless the bugs are very serious, flashing new firmware to me is something NICE TO HAVE but not MUST HAVE

You can however give it to flashers like jun by paying them some fees (usually less than RM50 i guess)

only black version is available in malaysia? What about the brown version? Any pic? I've googled for it and seems like no avail

Am I the only one thinking that the brown colour K800 looks somewhat special? hmm...
