This is what you get for £10. Its makes phone calls and also recives text messages. Everything a phone should do, but who ever designed it definitly watched “1 Night In Paris” too many times.

The K800i is my third Sony Ericsson phone in the last 4 years. I’ve had a T610 (2005-2006) and a K750i (2006-2008) which have both been fantastic devices. My last phone started to stiffen up and left me with no choice than to upgrade.
The phone is slightly bigger than the K750i. Compared to some phones today, its a bit on the chunky side. No problem, its not a brick and fits perfectly in my pocket. A boost from the K750i, it now has a 3.2mp camera apposed to a 2mp one. It can also take basic 3gp movies. Take that iPhone!
On the phones software, its quick fast and simple. No problems as it works perfectly. SMS, Contacts, file browsing. It works great. Bluetooth, a personal favorite tool of mine is specified as version 2, so file transfers work great.
The phone has full 3G capability and a camera on the front of the phone, but I don’t use these so I can’t pass judgment on these features. This is a fantastic phone for only £72 on Pay As You Go, Vodaphone.
Emoticon Review: 
[Update] Heres a collection of test shots from the phone.
Nokia N800 looked great. The N810 looks better. 
Ships Mid-November, $479 / £234.
By the way. Coincidence its released the same day as a Mobile Ubuntu?
Via Ars Technica.
[Update] Engadget has posted some hands-on photos.
Yeah, great. iPhone. Woo. No really, I can’t wait.
Apple. When you release something in the USA, don’t forget the genetics your yanky doodles are based on. The Brits and Irish. Please, stop being greedy. Your “great” price of £269 is $538. That’s nearly $150 more than the current US price ($399).
$399 is £199 (give or take). For that price, I can get a iPod Touch 8gig. Now that’s a choice. iPod + Contract, or iPod. Do I really have to pay the extra £70 for 1/2 the capicity, a email client and a crappy 2 megapixle camera? Not to forget that there is a minimum of a £35 per-month contract for a minimum of 18 months.
UK grand total: £269 + (£35 x 18 = £630) = £899 / $1798.
My video iPod and K750i do their jobs fine. Why do I need to change?
Advertised:
“There are 50 laptops hidden around Southampton. Whoever finds one gets to keep it. So go find them!”
Reality:
“If you want a laptop, you have to sign up for 2 years of Broadband from AO-Smell.”
Carphone Warehouse is a shit store. Its customer service is pathetic! Who has “Car Phones” anyway? I want a mobile phone to take ANYWHERE!
