Sony Ericsson K800i Candy Bar 3G mobile phone handset reviews and tariffs

+ excellent connectivity to my car bluetooth,

- only bad point , :O( is the battery life, I have to charge it every day

+ makes nice pictures ,and is ease to use.

- the internet,is going online by his self and waste money for nothing

+ I bought this model mainly for the 3Mpix camera which is good.
The phone side is fairly simple to use as is the menu.

- Along with many others I feel that the camera lens cover slides open much too easily. Also I don't like the shutter button - you have to press it too hard and too long. It's easier to use the "Enter" button on the joystick but you lose control over the exposure moment. Still, it's still good as a backup to my normal camera.

+ Really nice camera. Big screen.

- Small keys....sausage fingers.

+ use it mostly for music which its great at

- the thingy in the middle gets stuck and wont work sometimes, but not too often that its totally annoying

+ camera is excellent,easy to use,

- when I firt got the phone I seemed to knock the camera cover when texting which turns the camera on but only a very minor grip and doen't happen as much now

+ Excellent camera, screen and look.

- Keypad and joystick aren't very well designed/built. Quite a thick phone, lens cover can be frustrating.

+ It's really reliable and definately worth the cost! A brilliant phone that I would recommend to anyone!

- The camera lens 'cap' does tend to slide open in your pocket etc, wasting battery life and ending up with blank pictures (BUT IT'S NOT TOO BAD REALLY!!!)

battery life

+ Great camera with flash, Really this is a camera with a built in phone. It's ideal for quick fun snaps or for business use (eg taking photos for reports). Bluetooth is useful for hands free & sat nav link up. Lens sliding cover a great idea for keeping the lens clean and preventing damage. Charging battery via USB useful.

- Lens cover can slide open when in pocket. This switches on the camera even if the keypad is locked. Display is starting to get a little scratched (as I put it in my pocket with my keys & loose change). I should really buy a cover for it.

+ its alround ease of use, capability to enlarge memory capacity, camera is superb

- directional button can stick

+ Good Camera and Large display screen

- speaker on phone not very loud and mobile phone software crashed and now phone does not work properly after only a month of use

+ sound quality is very good. Good screen and well built.

- The key pad is awkward to use unless your very young with small fingers. It would be helpful if the key's were raised and not so close together. The phone is a bit big and the camera shutter slide will keep slipping down unless you buy a phone cover to protect it.

+ good kit, well presented

- no teenager supplied in the package - so to help the unskilled become the new generation of geriatric whiz kids

+ the camera
