Reply to: Has anyone used a Sony Ericsson K810i (or K800i)?

[threaded]

Girly has a W810i. Which is like the K810i except it is better for music, the K is better for pictures.

Predictive text is darned good, and as we're always chatting to extended family all over the world, have found swapping languages, even mid-text, is very easy.

She's stuck an extra memory card in there. She says it's a big one.

I've used it for ad-hoc recordings and it has a good microphone and good playback.

She's just got the user guide out of it's wrapping, for the first time, and as she's owned the phone for over a year now, I'd say that means it's very easy to use.

I had a k800i and wuite liked it - the joystick thing on it can be a pain though as it tends to wear out pretty quickly.

Can't answer your question, but if you get a chance, try the ring tones volume. My Sony Ericsson can be barely heard even on full volume compared with some phones.

And the vibrate is almost non-existant

(No sniggering at the back...)

I've got a W910i. OK phone, better than the Motorolla it replaced, but next phone will be a Nokia or an iPhone (maybe new slimline model...)

First thing I did was get it 'debranded' and unloaded all the Vodafone rubbish and replaced it with the original Sony Ericsson firmware. On start up the CPU still struggled to play the animation, which for me was an initial indication that the phone was going to be pants and I was right.

T9 predictive SMS (ala Nokia) is the only one I've ever got on with.

I find it just fine. A phone to me is just to make/receive calls. End of story.

Aye! My best phone was Nokia 8xxx something which was very small back in 2000 - paid £200 for it as well, but it was best in all respects apart from lacking colour screen - every other phone after that was just road downhill

It seems all right, I would not say it's better than other newer phones.

I find it just fine. A phone to me is just to make/receive calls. End of story. A basic phone would suit me, but there isn't anything made these days that hasn't got a degree of bells and whistles!

Good that you're happy with it.

o

Volume is pretty good on my k800i.

You're the only person I know who has said that. Good that you're happy with it. Apart from the volume, the phone is OK. I always turn the predictive text off.

AtW - Roughly how many txt messages have you had stored on your phone at any one time? Do you reckon it could store up to 100, 500, 1000?

I don't do much txt messaging anymore, but I have not deleted any of those received, I think certainly over 100 probably 200 - not sure if they can all be deleted in one go, which is the option they need to add...

It should be cheap phone now, it does the job and alarm function is nowhere near aggravating as my previous SE phone.

Predictive spelling you have to get used to as it's different from nokia.

It so ****ing is

My next phone will be Nokia...

[Slumdog]

Decent phone. A bit old now but still worth it. Stores a lot of texts. Predictive spelling you have to get used to as it's different from nokia. other than that good camera with xenon flash and also has slot for additional memory.
