i just bought the k800i ap black for 1260 hehe... but then instead of the cybershot word under the screen its a vodafone.. dono why u guys know how to install applications? i head u can use the red light for torch light

actually, for MMS you wont notice much of a difference.
GPRS data transfer speeds is around 32-48k/s, of cos nowhere as fast as 3G but about same as local broadband.
unless of cos you're sending like a 10mb file, which then if using MMS to send is just plain dumb.
also if not mistaken, websites you surf the images are lower quality so they load faster even with GPRS, again wont notice much of a difference.
you will only really notice it when it comes to streaming video, thats where 3G comes into play...which for me is for streaming TV only...cartoon network ftw

btw, some ppl have said with 3G on their battery only lasts 1 day.
with it off, can last 3 days.

It depends on your sources. But i don't think they are real.

Anyway, the Sony Ericsson 5mp (codename: Sofia) will be out this year or so IIANM.

So shouldn't be long til SE announces it.

coz the first pic looks something like SE would make for an ad, and SE hasn't even announced the phone yet.

about the second pic, the photo is confirmed fake and the photo came out quite some time ago liao.

yeah. i oso drooling. can't wait. first day release = buy. XD

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.

lol. i been waiting so long u know to buy. so sure first day must get.
well, i just hope SE doesn't do anything stupid to the phone like what the did with the k800i's camera.

If you're talking about W880i and W610i, I have nothing to say about their design   but I'm impressed with K550i cybershot phone, it looks great and comes with dual LED flash lights. At least they got one design right but seeing that everyone has high expectations on the true successor of K800i, I don't think SE will mess this up. Of course, Nokia N95 managed to hit the market first and it's no doubt a fine looking camera but just that I'm not too comfortable with its design.

Well, it's hard to find revolutionary here. Do you consider K800i with Xenon flash revolutionary? Or the ability to download and play iTunes revolutionary? It's pretty subjective here.
It should be accessible from the Maxis homepage (wap site). The Maxis 3G settings are configured to redirect you to their homepage from your phone's main browser.

this model is so common now that i see several frens of mine having the same phone

All camera phones have light sensors but K610i is not a bad phone by all means because it's still cheaper than K800i and it managed to capture the colours correctly even in total darkness, my P990i failed the test but I guess that's kinda expected, the funny thing P990i has an auto focus camera but then it captured the colours wrongly and it is even not as sharp as K610i by comparison. The K610i doesn't have an auto focus camera. Funny, eh? Of course, the only thing I can brag about P990i is that it has 'Megabass' just like those 'W' series phones. 

Well, K800i shines in night photography and even with the flash off, it could capture in poorly lit backgrounds with ease. Some people like my brother likes to take pictures without the flash because he finds it more natural. Of course, we're comparing apples and oranges here since both phones are not in the same price range but it depends entirely on your friend's budget. You can ask him to view the photos taken by me before making his decision, at least he'll know what to expect from these phones.
No lah Bro, HPM-70 can't be detected by our K800i. I tried mine and also my friend's HPM-70 (from his original Midland W800i phone), both also can't be detected. 
The SE K550i is using dual Luxeon super bright white LEDs, it's not a xenon flash. I guess they realized that one LED is not bright enough. When it comes to flashlight LEDs, Nokia is the expert here, it is even used in their N70, N73, N93, N95, etc. SE is better off using xenon flash to be honest. I noticed that the flashlight LEDs used in SE phones are too bright, it gives an annoying and unnatural whitish colour to the picture. 

Well, totally agreed here. No point buying something that we don't use at all. The reason I bought the K800i was I find it very convenient, I hate to carry my digi cam along with me. It comes in handy like when you go shopping and you saw Amber Chia there, you can quickly snap a picture of her or if you met a road bully, you can take a picture of that person and directly drive to the police station and if you're blogger, it's even more useful. I guess K800i is more useful to me than an iPhone even though I do hope that the successor to K800i should have Wi-Fi capabilites if possible to make it an all rounder.

Just got my Sennheiser CX300 earphones from Jenssen today, damn ...... the sound was fantastic. The bass was rock solid, I just set the EQ to the bass preset setting and that's it. I guess we don't need megabass after all if we invest on a pair of good earphones. Will be posting some pictures here later. 

maybe they want to budget? putting a xenon flash into k550i will definately makes the price sky high,beside the k550i is only on medium entry phone,targeted for ppl who just want a cheap camera phone. i think so lar,dont flame me 
the theme was originally from z550i. my friend uses it but i forget to see if hers lag or not,damn it  . the next time i try to see her animation 

P/S: how do u put more than one quote in a reply? thank you for helping. im a newbie! 

that flare.thm doesn't really lag on my firmware. but it does lag on my friends firmware which is the R1GB001.
is it bcoz of the different firmware it lags?

sorry because im a newbie  . so i just guess only why they never put the xenon flash inside their k550. got many other pros still havent reply their opinion. a'way,thx for telling me how to put many quote . but the design of k550 not bad. w880 like something wrong only.. too slim 
"yeah communication" is in penang 
im using the R1ED001. i still feel quite lag.. maybe it is my feelings,must watch the youtube clip again 

thank you  . i wanna test 903sh. all the shop i ask also dont have 

i feel this place becoming more like msn,all instant reply 

wanna win something with your k800i? check out this contest http://www.ngcasia.com/windowsintoasia/

Well, you don't have to pay RM80 plus for it, I'm collecting orders now, buying in bulk for interested members, it's only RM78 with shipping included. I'm not making a profit, just doing a favour that's all. My sales thread is here
Without the megabass function, the Bose has a very deep bass already, with the megabass on, I guess you'll hardly hear the vocals clearly. Sure, boom boom boom until your head spins.

i dunno if i kena potong, i bought 1200 last week.i think after cny the price will drop significantly.just my assumption.the brown set really sell like hot cakes man. naka7a, why you say its a risk wif AP set?but like my situation if theres chinese then u update will the chinese language still be in there?but nice phone good camera.

I myself am a happy user of K800i for 4 months. Utterly completely absolutely satisfied with the performance of the phone. Yet thing kind of thing happen right before CNY. Haih~

BTW, I called the shop that sold me the phone. He said it's software problem wo~ "Software hang" is what he told me. He said the problem can be dealed within 1 day, by reflashing the software. Just that the dealer has stopped their operation now due to CNY. I might only get my phone repaired after CNY, the 9th Day of CNY. (GOSH! How come they have such a long CNY holiday? Must be earning enough already )
If I want my phone before CNY, they can send it to another party to reflash it. But of course, there's service charge.
  My parents are scolding me already. My former phone 6600 also got problem. Send it to workshop several times still can't get it fixed...
Bad luck always happen to me...

does K800 AP version can go 3G or not? because mine is a Midland can but my friend which's AP can't...any idea y?

like i said.
those bugs dont bother me, as i dont use it that way.
plus when ppl upgraded to the last firmware, it brought more problems than good.

just because something is the latest, doesnt mean its the greatest.

I noticed that when use flash with the plastic crystal casing on, the photo and the top is whitish maybe due to the flash "hitting" the plastic and reflecting. Anyone got same problem?

guys wan to ask sumthing regarding the joystick of k800i ahh...
when i press the joystick down it press center.. it happen very frequent each time i press down..
does anyone encounter this?  btw does this phone has joystick problem?
& does warranty cover it?
