well i wasnt aware of the promotion extension ..

you dont have to utilize your 3g first when you get a 3g phone, as i know alot of people are just waiting for it to be ALOT ALOT more mature than what it is now ..

it just isnt a viable statement to say that you MUST use your 3g(if your area has coverage) because for some people .. its not about utilizing your resources its about the money that matters .. so i'm sorry if your parents are pretty much loaded ..

try not to give arguments like that ..

i myself was using a k800 .. and i do admit that the free vid calls at the off peak hours is pretty much fun, but i myself dont find much point in it .. its pretty hard to use it outside unless you have a headset with you .. and also, even with the coverage here in klang valley it is still pretty crappy ..

yet, even i ithink in shah alam, there is so many 3g phone users...
here...still no 3g coverage....

some of shot from my phone...

It only works in certain mode.

i) twilight landscape
ii) landscape
iii) beach/snow

Press key 7, it's a shortcut to activate image stabilizer. An icon, like a tripod will appear.

Could someone compile a FAQ and add it to the first page!?

I think you have misinterpreted what I have said. I was saying that if you don't need to use 3G, then better save the money to get a normal phone. It's that simple. What's there gotta do with my parents? Use 3G only mah, the charges ain't that expensive if compared to the price you're paying for your K800i. Come on, lets be realistic, Maxis or Celcom ain't forcing ya to use 3G, if you feel that it's expensive, then don't use lor but seriously, as a new user of K800i, you should try every each and every function of your phone, you wouldn't know if it's working or faulty unless you try them all. Anyway, for making a video calls, just use your free bluetooth headset, PV-705 which comes free with every K800i (Midland set) till end of this month, that's what I call utilizing our resources.


Well, Maxis is expanding the 3G coverage and Astro transmission quality by this year. I'm not sure about Celcom though but my friend from Maxis told me that they're trying to achieve 50% coverage for 3G by end of this year. I guess we'll get more free video calls when 3G is introduced to other states as they'll be having more roadshows this year which is an added plus for us.


I'm not sure about that I've made a comparison, SE K800i vs Nokia N73, the video calls on the N73 were slightly sharper and the colours were more vivid. Well, my friend made a video call from his N73 so we sorta compared the quality with our phones put side by side. Anyway, all 3G phones are using VGA camera so it will be a while before we get something like a 1.3 megapixel camera for video calls, probably that's under the 3.5G specs.

yah compile FAQ, its a good move

first , i bought my phone last year when it is newly out in the market ( you can look that the list on the first page )

well.. lets face the fact ..3g is gonna get mature one way or another .. sooner or later right? so people that plans to use their phone for about 2 years, isnt it better to get a 3g phone straight? so that when the thing matures, you are equipped? .. and damn i wld love a bt headset to come with the k800 when i buy it ..darn ..

anyhow .. all i'm saying is .. dont teach people that they MUST use the 3g if you have a k800 .. i've used the vid calls and personally .. if i have to pay alot more for it .. i wldnt =) as talking on the phone itself is good enuf ..

why i go register .. in se website, my serial ... got problem .. ayya ...
suspect something ....
You can find your serial number by keying in *#06# on your phone.

any1 planing to let go their k800 pls pm me.. wanna use back k800...

1st, K790 isnt officially available here, if so i'm sure most would buy it.
2nd, i would say most ppl here are buying the phone based more on its camera and multimedia functions.

my first 3G phone was the Nokia 6630, almost 2yrs ago.
that time also 3G was nothing great, just using to watch TV once in awhile.
now also nothing much has changed.
thats why my 3G is always turned off, and i only turn it on when i need it.
else to me its just a stupid waste of battery.

i would like to say something about the 3G debate here.

before that, maxis video call rates are the same as voice calls. check their webpage.

i guess some people bought this phone for the camera and not because of 3G. i would say i bought it for both. the front camera is crappy, yes, but there are somethings that can't be conveyed by voice itself. for example, a happening gig. you can tell people how great it is but it is up to the person's imagination to imagine how the crowd must have been etc. here's where the video call comes into play. just use the back camera and show it to the person!

why the night shot kinda blur

which website to check whether the phone is genuine or not?

you don't need a website to tell you that. just check out your imei number if it matches with the box...then after that check if your sony ericsson is by midlands. if that is what you mean by genuine

yeah..already get my loan..waiting for me k800 ! ..btw how much the price today ? ..

p/s already found this topic..aiya.. lost tadi haha..

yea, but remember 3G works both ways.
meaning the guy must have a 3G phone too.
right now the only ppl i know who have 3G phones are the ppl i buy handphone stuff from in the pasar malam

dude, mine IME number not same as box. what its mean ?



if something fishy , gonna tiao teh sg wang shop.


want to check and register. go to
