SE is ranked fourth in the world according to the article in CNET, Nokia is freaking number one again. Followed by Moto and Samsung. Argghhh ...... too bad ...... SE should be at least on par with Nokia, never liked Moto and Samsung phones.

Well, I prefer HPM-82, with the remote control, can navigate songs and videos much easier. I bought one at RM60 in Penang. I dunno cheap or not lah but since got ready stock, just buy lah.

Sound is the same as hpm-70, same earphones except for the remote thingy. I think you can get it cheaper in KL, try asking around. There's only three shops selling hpm-82 in Penang but that's the lowest price I managed to nego with the shop.

Push email is not that popular I guess, Maxis didn't promote it anymore after the lukewarm response.

One flash for the person or object that you're taking, the second flash is to frighten the ghost away. Yeah, just like PS2's Fatal Frame game, only that we're using K800i instead of a camera.

I still prefer SE K800 to any of those phones. The flash is pretty powerful for dark scenes and it's an added plus.


I'm sorry, I don't really know where to get HPM-82 in KL at this price. I know authorised SE dealers are selling it for RM180 and the RM60 I've paid for is exactly the same as the RM180 one. My friend has it so I've compared mine with his and confirmed that it's 100% original. My friend was cursing like mad when I told him about it. The only difference, mine doesn't come with warranty but I can test it on the spot. Packaging is the same, 100% identical, just that one is consider AP I guess. I'm sorry I prefer not to post it to KL, heavy responsibility lah, later got problem, I'll be in hot soup. If you wanna know where I bought it, please go to 'Yeah' handphone accessories shop located on the 3rd floor, in Prangin Mall, Penang. I'll try to ask for you here to see if anyone sells it in LYN. At least you can COD in KL, easier lah. Get what I mean?

I thought I have replied that in my reply, the shop is in Prangin Mall leh ........ dun wan to start bulk lah, takkan KL dun have meh? It's only HPM-82 wor ...... if Penang have, I think KL should have gua and maybe cheaper.


This phone is not without its flaws, you can read the reviews here, http://www.mobileburn.com/review.jsp?Id=1696 and to be honest, I prefer K800i anytime. The 903sh looked like a matchbox to me. Quite ugly to be honest. SE's Z610i pawns it easily. I never liked Sharp handphones, buying a spare battery is a problem and not sure about the availability of the spare parts, it's safer to stick with a popular model, at least you can sure that any tiny little thing can be bought outside. I find the screen for K800i more than acceptable.

No offence Bro, it's not that I can't afford it, it's too girlish for my liking but anyway this is a SE K790i / K800i discussion thread, why should we be talking about 903sh, off topic already. Well, everyone will read reviews first before we buy something or as a guidance to help us make a better decision, takkan we can go and ask the seller, I try first ya, if I like it, then I buy from you. If we can do that, I wouldn't mind but in the end, we won't be buying anything because all phones have their own flaws. Reading reviews are as important as asking for forumers' feedback too, that's why I have no regrets getting SE K800i because I got the information that I need. Thanks to you guys here, I got what I wanted.

Seems like HPM-82 is making waves here despite having the same earphones as HPM-70. I've sold my HPM-70 away to an unsuspecting buyer willing to pay RM85 for it. I guess he thought that it was a bargain to buy it at RM85 when the authorised SE dealers in Penang are selling them at RM180 if I'm not mistaken. Not my fault lah, he's willing to offer RM85, then I accept the deal lor. Willing buyer, willing seller so case close. After that, I bought the HPM-82 at RM60, I still have a profit of RM25. How nice if I could find more buyers like him. I'll be rich.

I'm planning to use the HPM-82 with my Sennheiser CX300 earphones, should be arriving pretty soon according to Jenssen. I have tried my friend's CX300 on my K800i, not only the sound is better, it's even slightly louder too, a big leap from the Sony earphones. I guess I can temporarily let my sister use my iPod. Come to think of it, I rather buy another K800i than an iPod

Got lah, the shop is there, I always go to Prangin Mall one leh, it's located in between Antrium A and Antrium B. You won't miss it, should be on the 3rd floor. There's only one HPM-82 left, I've bought another one for my sister so it's all yours. So, do hurry. Not sure whether they'll be bringing in more stocks later.


Yup, RM60 ......... they put the price tag as RM80 so I went to nego with them until RM60. The pretty girl in the shop is the boss, the one wearing more sexy and got a thick coat of ICI paint on her face.

Nah, we just want 16.7 million true colours TFT screen like Nokia N95, 6300 for a start. Screen size is not an issue if we want a small and light handphone. If you want a big screen, then get a Nokia Communicator then, it's big enough to view a Word document nicely.

Like that also can, ar? It's not a good thing wor, if it's not faulty, at least you could sell it for a few hundred ringgit and top up the rest for a K800i. It's hard to sell faulty phones here.


Wah, the price went down again? Luckily I didn't buy it, guess I should wait till it drops further so that it is as cheap as a MSPD. M2 is revolutionary but it's too expensive, just curious to know if our K800i is able to support up to 4GB in the future via firmware upgrades.


I get what you mean, it's a bit sluggish but a K800i doesn't have a built in ARM processor or even ram either so it can't be help.

I think the inbox thingy is not related to the phone, should be limited by the capacity of your sim card.


Well, the answer is a big yes, http://it.moldova.org/stiri/eng/23258/ and M2 is only designed to be used in Sony Ericsson mobile phones so it is definitely compatible, even if it is not, it can be fixed by upgrading the firmware. Same like my Nikon digi camera, was supposed to support up to 2GB SD card but after upgrading the firmware, it could detect the 4GB SD card easily. I'm sure Sony will ensure that their phones are compatible with their memory cards. To be frank, I would prefer a 2GB card anytime provided if the price is reasonable.

The EQ is rather limited for K800i but with careful tweaking, it will sound slightly better that the present settings.


The megabass is a bit boomy for my taste but the W series has more EQ settings for us to fiddle with. If you get a good pair of earphones, you would wanna leave the megabass option off. I'm waiting for my CX300 earphones to do a test drive on my K800i. Should be getting it soon.

Even K610i and K618i's speakerphone is a slightly louder than K800i but of course, K800i's speakerphone sounded less hollow than the other two. Well, for video calls, the speakerphone is way too soft so I normally use my bluetooth headset or my earphones instead.


Well, the price probably gone up because of CNY, The cheapest one around is RM1570 but of course, after CNY, you could get it a lot cheaper, if you're not in urgent need of a phone, then you could probably postpone your plans of buying it first.

The service centre will probably charge RM50 to RM100 for it but honestly, my friends have updated their K800i (AP) via the web and it worked for them. IMHO, you can update the firmware by yourself, it's not that complicated.

Honestly, it's just the same as hpm-70 except for the remote, it's longer by 2 inches in length. Other than that the sound quality is the same, I've heard reviews that SE has solved the background pickup noise with hpm-82's mic, I dunno how true is this because I never had a chance to compare since I've sold my hpm-70 for this one.


The good news is there are at least 6 units left for sale from the shop where I got them. Three of my friends just bought it last Sunday. They're also doing a promo for the MPS-60 speakers at RM78 for the black or white coloured ones, I've tested them but wasn't too impressed with the sound so I didn't buy it. The actual price is 80 plus, they're selling at this price because CNY promotion. Those Sony Gallery showrooms can get them for you at RM180. It's the same thing actually, the RM180 comes with 1 year warranty while the OEM ones don't come with warranty. If you want to view the RM180 ones, go to Northern Point Sony Ericsson shop, just next to Osim on the ground floor in Prangin Mall, Penang. They have a few RM180 ones on display.


Nokia is always on the number one spot as they have the most models released ever in a year and their handphones appeal to every market segment. SE on the other hand, has limited models, if you own a K800i, I don't think you wanna buy a W series handphone just for the megabass because in actual fact, if you use a pair of high quality earphones to partner with your K800i, it will sound much better with more punch. Of course, I do hope SE will come out with more interesting models, hopefully one that can take on Nokia N95. Some competition is healthy here.

Try clearing all your unwanted sms and mms. Move unwanted files from your phone memory to your M2, try to have at least 30mb of free space in your phone memory. See if it helps. My K800i doesn't lag at all.

Nope, no lagging in the animation part. The phone memory is also like a ram to the phone. Try to free up some space in your phone memory. No harm trying, right?

Hmm .......... just wondering whether this is the real SE K850i with the much talked about 5 megapixel camera. Looked kinda cool to me. Hopefully the picture is the real thing.




Or is this the new SE K850i, with the unconfirmed specs below. Hmm ....... very confusing.



3.2 megapixels autofoucs DC
1.3 megapixels v-call camera
GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, UMTS
GPRS, EDGE WCDMA
2INCH QVGA (240x320 pixel), 16 million TFT
Nvidia GoForce 4800 3D graphic chip
466 MB internal memory
MemoryStick Duo Pro support
BT 2.0

Well, from the rumours, that K850i will be the first Sony Ericsson phone to have a 16 million colour TFT screen and also with a 5 megalpixel camera. The Xenon flash will be maintained. Other sources say that it will have QVGA video@30fps (perhaps better, cif ), 2.2 inch screen and Nvidia Goforce 5500 graphics chip The last one is obviously too good to be true but seeing that Sony is using NVIDIA's GPU for their PS3, there's a possibility they have a mobile version. Guess, we'll know more soon.

Nah, you're not a traitor, whether you go for Sharp, SE or Samsung, they all start with 'S'

I guess SE is not resting on their laurels, at least they're making an effort to come out with better models to woo the crowd back.
