Is the Sony Erikson K800i reliable and is it worth buying

The_Mobile_Insider

It depends what you are looking for in a phone?? Camera quality, battery / talk time performance??

Its reliable in the sense that you can make calls with it

It's superb. Battery life is slightly lower than the k750i but still excellent. Camera is superb, screen fantastic and although I loved the k750i this FEELS so much better. Will be getting some more soon enough!

I have one of these and use it as my spare phone - very good battery life, excellent camera and has yet to fail me

the only real problem with these is the lens cover. it can easily slide open in your pocket and drain the battery.

anyway its a brilliant phone with an excellent camera and flash

Cant fault it, use it as my spare,gaming guy is correct the cover does slide open very easily,but apart from that its a solid phone, a pint of stella tried to take the life out of mine but it stood firm and survied this deadly ordeal.

I believe a common fault is that the applications are prone to failure. Well mine certainly did

Updates usually cure this problem

I've had my K800i for the better part of a year, little scratches and marks aside it's working as well as ever. Battery life is good, 3-4 days between charges although it seems to be the same whether I use the phone heavily or not. Charging, as with most SE phones, is pretty fast, from 5% to 80% in under an hour.

The camera will produce decent photographs, not particularly high quality but if you're not carrying your regular camera or DSLR about it does what it can.

Software updates from SE are occasionally available and do, on many occasions, add more features or make the phone more responsive.
