The photo images of the camera is awesome...Its no match for N70, N73, E75. Its photo color is true to life unlike those of nokias. Even at dark areas w800i is truly amazing. Try it urself and compare it to those of nokias u can really see the difference. all nokias have ugly camera photos.U will only be happy at their features but for their camera photos its UGLY!!!!!!!! Nothing beats SE W800i photo quality of its camera.

This is one of my previous phones, I have an n95 8 gb now which is of course, much better, but still I bought this phone in 2006 when I was 13, and the only problem I had was with the software was when you connected it in USB mode, it's somewhat dodgy software would allow you to roam the menus while plugged in through USB, this may sound good but it would reek havok if you were trying to transfer files. Another small thing was that it wasn't signed to microsoft( the pc suite installation disk) which meant it asked me to install microsoft 1.1 framework software when I was on 2.0. But these are small things when compared to the upsides of the phone, my favourite being the earphones, I own a pair of Bose earphones now and there is only a small difference in sound clarity, 3 and a half years on aswell, way ahead of it's time and one of my favourite phones still. Well worth a buy, even today.....

This phone has its annoyances, but doesn't annoy me as much as people who write on the internet in TXT SPK like they're on a really slow net connection that counts every single byte. This phone is better in hardware than software, basically. Sony software is a bit rubbish. Try MY PHONE EXPLORER when connecting with USB and the first thing to do is upgrade the firmware which fixes the USB drop-out issue (except you have to upgrade it via USB, clever design there...). Then use MyPhoneExplorer to backup, and copy files. Disc2Phone is fine for copying mp3s that have proper ID3 tags. Incidentally, if you don't like applications 'phoning home' and spying on you, but need to use them, then the solution you should already have on your machine right now, is called a "software firewall".

I love my w800i. It does crash now and then when there are lots of pictures on the memory stick, and transferring photos from the phone to a pc can be irritating due to the poor connection software, but its easy to work around. The music transfer software works great and isn't too slow (time is mainly the conversion of a track into mp3). I just need to find out how to use my vodafone branded w800i on the internet using orange... hmm

I walk several miles everyday and take my phone, camera and ipod and I wanted to combine these into one unit. I also wanted a phone that didn't need recharging every couple of days. I love this phone, it's the real deal. The music quality is fantastic as is the sound quality generally (podcasts and phone calls). It does everything and more that I could have wished for and the battery lasts me about a week which, given all the functionality, I think is very impressive. The camera is fun and easy to use although the picture quality is not as good as my dedicated digital camera - but then I didn't expect it to be. The only minor dissapointment was that I found a really neat pair of stereo bluetooth headphones only to discover that while the phone is Bluetooth compatible and will take your calls it won't play music through them. I did however discover a neat pair of corded headphones designed for running which loop over the ear and are very comfortable. Great phone and great shame to see that it is now discontinued.

I've had this phone for about 18 months now and it is by far the best phone i have owned. I love the color scheme of the phone and it looks different to what was out at the time, the keypad is quite nice to handle although if you have large fingers it could be problematic. The camera isn't amazing and i sort of stopped using it after the novelty had worn off. The music player worked extremely well and i upgraded to a 1gb memory card although getting music to the phone is rather tedious as you have to use sony's Disc2Phone software which is slow, it would have been alot easier to just be able to drag'n'drop music into the phone. The music player also includes the ability to create playlists and has an equaliser also i did not use this feature much. The interface was very easy to use and looks nice, also the ammount of themes available to download free from the internet is great as i did not like the themes it came with. One annoying thing is that i had to be emptying my inbox, outbox and sent messages as it ran out of space for them rather quickly. Also having the phone for that time it took a few drops and ended up getting scratched on the corners which did not bother me as it wasn't severe but then, oddly the phone was in my pocket and i accidentally walked into a chair and the screen cracked. This is what made me decide to get a new phone so i'm getting the samsung g600 for christmas.

i have owned a w800i for 2 years and i have had endless problems with it. first of all the battery wouldnt charge so i sent it back for repair only to find that i had to pay a £17 bill because they said it was perfectly fine. The housing of the phone is cheap and scratches eaisly. The camera will only focus and will not take a picture unless held at a ceratin angle.The screen only lights up when it feels like and the phone crashes all most once a day which means i need to take it apart to take the battery out. Dont buy it!

I got my W800i from the link. It looked great, sunded great and was the latest phone on the market (but that was 3 years ago). I started playing with it and found out many functions. All my friends were goggling over it, facinated by it's capabilities. It's 2 meg camera (with autofocus and digital zoom) comes up to standard, very practical and with a handy lens shutter. The playback quality was amazing, realy really good quality, however the recording quality differed greatly... The extras such as animated wallpapers, Java games, vibration alert, polyphonic ringtones and picture phonebook just added to the superiority of this phone compared to it's competitors. However... 3 years down the line, it has started it's problem, and notice that that is singular. The joystick, obviously through over-use has completely worn out. No matter what one does to it, nothing on screen budges. It is very frustrating seeing as that is the only way to scroll through photos and contact s. The other features (especially the camera) still run perfectly. Now, thankfully, i no longer have to worry about dodgey joysticks, for the Iphone doesn'thave one.

The phone is not all it's cracked up to be. 1. The reception is rubbish. My wife has a samsung blackjack and has much better signal in the same area i am in. 2. The usb cable is a pain in the buttocks - half the time the phone is not reconized by my machine - it will charge fine when plugged in by usb but browsing the files is not always possible without effort - rebooting for example! 3. The camera is nice though and the phone is slick Over all I would not buy this phone again I get loads of dopped calls which is an on going joke with my mates. My joystick also lost its rubber bit on the top early on and i had to send the phone back to have a stuck lens cover replaced. There never seems to be new updates for the phone itself but i have got the updates for the sync manager. I found the disc to phone to work fast but agree the enforced naming convention on tracks is a pain in the buttocks ... I am a dj making my own mixes and i have to rename the tracks for inclusion on the phone ...

Reviewed by cormski on 06/08/2007
frankly, this phone is pretty rubbish: it gets lousy reception, keeps dropping calls and switching itself off, the headphone adaptor is unwieldy and sticks ridiculously out of the side (rather than the end) so you can't really use it like an ipod if you go to the gym; because the slightest motion knocks it out. The keypad doesn't automatically lock unless you're on the main screen - so for example, if you were in the menu, and you stick the phone in your pocket, you could end up accidentally browsing the internet and downloading stuff that you don't want (quite easily in fact), or if you get distracted when writing a text, you might find you send lots of blank texts to people instead. The software for loading mp3s is absolutely ATROCIOUS and takes ridiculuous lengths of time to copy files over. Bit of a dogs dinner really...

Reviewed by Maximus on 26/07/2007
OK, it's a good phone..like you can read people are quite happy about it. Me too BUT. Oh yes, there is a BUT. The MP3 function is running on a program named Disc2Phone. It uses Gracenote (check their website) for music recognition. For doing this you need an internetconnection and a registration. Which means that every time you copy your (il)legal music to your phone they know about it. What they do with that info is for them to know and for us to find out. Another thing about that program..it's completely NOT easy. You can't create maps, you can't cut or copy music in a specific folder. It arranges the music as it likes. For example: ripping a cd it's possible that Disc2Phone instead of putting all the songs in the "cdname" map, he puts some or all songs apart in the main MP3 menu. Meaning you have X songs not attributed to the cd map (if the map exists). What you need to do afterwards, you need to create a playlist and attribute the songs keeping the play order in mind. When you copy the music without Disc2Phone the W800 wont recognize it. Disc2Phone doesn't recognize all the mp3's I have and copying it to you phone Disc2Phone uses the original name attributed to the songs,not how you name it. Which means you can have a song named '01'. I dont like being controlled what and when I put music on my phone and I sure dont like not being in control in 'mapcreating'.

Very good phone, has survived being dropped loads of times and even a bit of moisture. I love the MP3 Player and radio which I use everyday, especially the fact that you can use whatever headphones you want with it. That said, it is not the world's best MP3 player because it has a slight hiss during quiet parts of songs. You only notice it if you are a music geek like me. The two design faults that are apparent after 18 months of having one are: The camera lens cover is a pain in the bum. It comes open too easily, and this drains the battery and allows you to send picture messages by sitting on the phone even if the keypad is locked. Also, the joystick has started to malfunction. Interestingly, these are the two things that Ericsson have fixed with the w810i, so I am upgrading to that I think. Overall I have been pleased with my choice.

W800i is the pioneer of all walkman phones under the brand of Sony Ericsson. A phenomenal phone, all-in-all. I have had it for the past year and a half. No problems whatsoever. A must buy.

Had the phone for a year now and still love it. Only problem is that the toggle is starting to become a bit unresponsive which was the same problem I had with a previous Sony.

Sony phones last for around a year and then something goes wrong with the handset. From my experience it's either the "joystick" or the keypad. They are not built to last...
