I've had my phone for three years now and it is fantastic. I use bluetooth (which does suck up the batterly life) and mobile internet. Best phone I've ever had. Wish they still made them.

Used it over 2 years and still going strong, same battery, never had to repair, even after a good few drops, But now it's time to change, a bit outdated. It's a pitty SE does not have a newer version of V800.

I love the phone and its features but the battery is terrible. I just ordered a brand new one from hong kong since the phone isn't available normally in the states. I ordered the highoutput battery and it still dies after 8-10hrs w/o out making calls at all.

Visually attractive phone- sleek and intuitive menues and themes. Mine was third hand and after a few months it got a bit ewxternally damaged which is understandable, nothing lasts forever. However, after going on an amusement ride the screen went purple and upside-down. This would happen a third of the time I'd turn it on then after.

You've got to wonder what some people do to their phones! My v800 was supplied way back on contract and it served me well. I'm using it again now that other phones have let me down and even though it's showing its battle scars it works like it did on day 1 - it's pretty much bullet proof. Battery life is good for 3g, call quality and reception is excellent (which let's face it is what you want in a phone) and unlike modern micro phones it flips out to become a good usable phone size. Quality.

Everythings great about this phone have had it for over a year, which is incredible if your one to always lose them or they simply just fail on you. the only thing i would say is a bummer is that you cant have personal msg tones.

Well I don't understand why the very first review of this phone is a 1 star or a poor one. Its an outstanding phone with rocking perfomance. I've
used a D500, V3 all through my work. My worst experience was a 6680. V800
rocks. Heaps of cool features. Moroever an effective crowd pleaser. I've had this for almost a month. Not a single thing wrong with it. I reckon
the only change made to this phone by SE is that it doesnt have FM. It doesnt matter as its got a great thumping MP3 player, Video player(supports 3GP and MPEG4(MP4)). It takes 2GB memory stick duo pro, not that costly if some homework done to find a cheap store. right now
I've got 26 music videos and more than 90mp3 songs in it. Luv it!
Swiveling camera is great, better than 2 fixed rubbish ones!!

OMG it's the best 3G phone. Look at the spec. TYhe display is the most amazing I have seen on a mobile and video calling is just fantastic. The Vodafone network is so much better than the 3 joke I had to put up with before. The memory stick means that you can store mp3 tracks and use it instead of an mp3 player. Everything works perfectly, including bluetooth.

Well one think I can say for this phone, is one of the best if you want to use all his futures, and it has allot of them indeed, but do not buy this phone just for the futures buy this phone for its sear quality and don't get frustrated with all this battery problems other users have reported, they think this is a normal mobile phone, well is not, when you start using all his futures it is normal the battery to run out very fast specially when you are using the camera light as a torch, or you are making video calls, the manufacturer states that the use of video calls will run the battery to the ground (1,5 hours talking time) so don't listen to the NOKIA lovers get one and start the fun, also be aware that you will need the use of a PC or lap top to be able to set all the necessary goodies specially the pictures and camera shots you have save in the memory stick, the menu is very familiar to all Ericsson users from the likes of 610, the only tricky part is the GPRS settings but there is a software in the CD to set this up in seconds plus you can use the full speed of the 3G when you connect your lap top on the move with the V800 modem so you download at broadband speeds something other phones do not do so well, one last think test on any store the other video call 3G phones and compare the video picture frame speed and quality of the V800 and then decide what to by.

Have had this phone for 2 weeks and it is truly outstanding in every respect. Best points are 1) 1.3 megapixel camera 2) stunning 262k colour display 3) mp3 player (stereo) 4) Bluetooth 5) Vodafone. The battery life is batter than most 3G phones, although poor compared to 2G, but the pros definitely outweigh the cons by a long way.

I have had both Nokia & SonyEricsson phones and have to say that this is one fantastic phone... It does everything that a portable multi-media type phone should (except for not having FM radio). It is incredibly 'connectable' with PCs and can even control your computer like a remote control for music or presentation or mouse! The battery life is great considering how much you end up doing with the phone... and the camera is one of the best you can get now... It does look a little fingerprinted if you don't wipe it down but come-on if you really care then take 1 second to do it... Strongly recommended as a good phone/camera/mp3 player with decent email capability...

I have owned a V800 for a month now, after switching from my Nokia 8210 I had for 5 years. The V800 has an excellent display, a fantastic sounding MP3 player, good camera (though there is lots of noise in the pictures, the lens is just not good enough), and you can add up to 1Gb of (expensive) MemoryStick Pro Duo. BUT, I would really not recommend that phone to anyone. - It crashes when I start typing a certain combination of caracters in an SMS ("l'a"), and then reboots for 5 minutes - worse than Windows - I sometimes cannot pick up (cool, that's one portable answering machine for 600 EUR) - I sometimes cannot make any calls, but that may be linked to the network, - Sometimes it does not ring (re-600 EUR answering machine) - Menu navigation is sloooooooooooooow (frustrating) - It gets dirty in 2 seconds (damn black outer shell) I will bring it back next week to get an other brand. It is just inacceptable to have such a poor opearting system on such an expensive telephone
