It’s here. A Cyber-shot™ digital camera and a small and sophisticated feature-packed 3G phone all in one. Bring the K800i with you and you have a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus, image and video stabilizer and built-in Xenon flash ready for any moment, anytime.
BestPic™ technology lets you capture several images in quick succession with one press of the camera key. Pick the best. Delete the rest. A camera stabilizer function compensates any small movement of your hand when you’re taking a picture and shooting video. When you’ve taken a photo, you can share it straight away using Bluetooth™, multimedia messaging or blog it.

T3This is the best snapper-phone we’ve seen so far – perfect for capturing those boozy moments. When you add the fact that it’s also an unusually stylish 3Ger and a Shuffle-trouncing MP3 player, you have a great all-round gadget. |

Mobile Phones UKThe K800i is an excellent mobile. Not only is it the best camera phone around at the time of release, but it’s a good all-rounder. |

iMobile.com.auThe K800i is an amazing handset. On the flip side I did have some issues with the K800i, the most severe would have to be the user interface lag. The handset was also a bit bigger than other high-end camera phones on market. For people looking at upgrading to the latest and greatest I would definitely recommend them to try out the K800i. You won’t be disappointed! |

moBique.comThe K800i is a complete phone with all you’d expect from a phone-only handset, plus more. |

Pocket-LintSony Ericsson has created a camera phone that uses Sony’s CyberShot branding perfectly, creating great pictures and then backing up those great pictures with features such as 3G connectivity and good solid design. It might be a tad bulky (105×47 x 22mm) compared to other regular phones available, however for us we would be happy to have this as our main phone. |

IT ReviewsThe K800i is Sony Ericsson’s finest handset to date as far as photography is concerned. It won’t replace a real digital camera for serious photography, but it does a lot better than many other handsets with built-in cameras. And the rest of the features aren’t bad, either. |

InfoSyncAlthough more susceptible to camera shake than a low-end digital camera, the Sony Ericsson K800i is in fact capable of replacing just such a product; a considerable feat, even though the vast majority of users will not want to rely on it for preserving precious memories. |

GSM ArenaThe feature packed 3G handset would become a market hit and it would develop a strong fan base of people who do not consider the size of their mobile phone that important. The superb display and the high-level still camera functionality are something that many men would fall for. |

Mobile-Review.comOnce again Sony Ericsson managed to create a bestseller. |

Trusted ReviewsSony Ericsson seems to have thought quite carefully about what people want from a cameraphone and done its best to oblige both in terms of hardware controls and software extras. It is the imaging extras as much as the raw megapixels that should justify the purchase of this handset. Even without those this is a neat, tidy and very impressive 3G handset. |

What Digital CameraSure you can see the compression, and there’s visible fringing in high-contrast shots, but the overall quality is pretty reasonable for what they are. In fact, they remind me of 3MP digital compacts of four or five years ago. |

CNETThe bottom line: With an amazing selection of features and great performance, the Sony Ericsson K7800i joins the company’s K790a as a superior camera phone. |

Computer Shopper UKEven though it is chunky and has a wobbly keypad, Sony Ericsson’s K800i is the best phone for taking photos we have seen. |

PC AuthorityOther than the menu system being littered with internet shortcuts to Sony download services, it’s solid phone that manages to do everything with minimal fuss. |

Good Gear GuideThe K800i is definitely the cream of the crop if you are after a camera phone. It’s still not good enough to replace a stand alone digital camera, but this handset has enough in other areas to ensure it is an attractive proposition. |

phoneArena.comBut only its camera manages to perform at a high level, as at the moment it is one of the best ones featured in a mobile phone thanks to its Xenon flash. Unfortunately, this is somehow overshadowed by the low-quality camcoder, the cheap headphones in the package and the fact that it is impossible to watch high-quality video with the handset. |

Digicam ReviewOverall the Sony Ericsson Cybershot K800i offers a lot, it provides a fully functioning mobile phone (with Internet, Email, RSS, 3G, MP3 etc), and an adequately functioning 3 megapixel digital camera. |
