very impressive phone
) 
26 of 26 people found this review helpful.
Overall, a very impressive phone! The image quality from the camera is fantastic!, and mp3 playback through the provided headphones is impressive, though bass is predictably weak when using the inbuilt speaker.
The menus are very clear and easy to navigate, and the screen is just beautiful..! Very bright and sharp. Some people have complained about the size of the phone, but it's quite easy to find the handset dimensions on the internet, or even go into a shop and look at one.
I agree that the styling may be a little 'Boxy' for some, but it's growing on me and I quite like the contrast of the angular face with the more gently curving sides.
If you're surprised by the physical appearance when it arrives, you haven't done your research properly!
The software installation is a little cumbersome, as you have to rely on windows XP repeatedly 'detecting new hardware' and prompting you to install drivers, a good half a dozen times in all. However, once installed, it worked perfectly for me.
The only real complaint I have is about battery life, as I type this it's at less than 5%, having only been charged 30hrs ago. In that time I've used it for perhaps 20mins in camera mode, 30mins in mp3 playback mode, and about 4hrs in phone mode (creating address book entries, text messages etc).

Best phone with excellent camera for such a low priceReview created: 09/08/08
by:
I believe there isn't better phone for such low price. First of all K800's 3.2MPix camera is one of the best I have ever seen. It is better than almost all 5MPix cameras (and 3.2Mpix of course). In addition battery of this phone is very good too, it lasts for about 4 days even in very active use. I liked and design of phone, especially keyboard. The only problem with this phone is a joystick which likes to seize, but it's easy to get used. To sum up I recommend it for everybody who wants very good phone with excellent camera and lot of other stuff for a low price.

Overall I think this is an excellent phone. It has all the modern technology like 3g video calling and high speed internet, an excellent 3.2 MP camera with a proper flash not just a white light, a good music player, bluetooth connectivity etc
However there are a few minor issues with this model. The inbuilt loud speaker is really quiet for calls and video calls even at full volume, Sometimes dust gets in behind the joystick and can cause it to not work intermittently, as with most modern phones it is prone to freeze occasionally, if you use a large memory card (over 1gb in my experience) sometimes the files get corrupted and dont work.
The best thing about this phone is without a doubt the camera. it may only be 3.2 mega pixels but the image quality is fantastic. It has red eye reduction, image stabilizer, zoom, a proper flash, different light settings, the cyber shot function (where it takes several images and displays them so you can choose the best to save!) etc etc.
In summary i would highly recommend this model of mobile phone.

i was given a basic phone for a present, because i dont use it that much, but i felt that when i did use it i didnt have certain options that i wanted to use, so i wanted a reasonable way of updating my phone without changing my sim card. and nothing too complicated, and what i have bought is ideal.

Bought the phone because the one I had was becoming a little out dated, and also I wanted a phone which would take a decent photograph as well, as I travel a lot and didn't want to carry both camera and phone with me all the time.
Very pleased with the phone. It has all the functions you would expect on a compact digital camera as well as being a phone! Picture quality is good (3.2 Mega pixels), after all it wasn't so long ago when this was the standard in digital photography. Also takes good photo's in dark places as well due to its powerful flash (an area where a lot of camera phones fall down).
Also like the large crystal clear screen, and the battery life is excellent.
The phone also has an application called "facewarp" which is really fun, lets you take a snap of someones face and then distort it in to some really funny faces (highly amusing).
The only down side to the phone which I can think of is, that the sliding lens cover for the camera, is very easily opened whilst in your pocket, which could allow the lens to become dirty or scratched, but there are protective pouches available for this. Overall, a good buy, very pleased with the product.

This phone was purchased on behalf of someone else as a gift for an 11yr old's birthday.
The phone has a great camera and easy all round functions,these phones are also very sturdy and reliable and have many very modern features such as video & bluetooth as well as many more that I'm not technical enough to mention, so make an ideal present for a child but could also be for persons of any age group. They also always have a great re-sale value because of their quality.
