I had a K750i and later a M600 from Sony Ericsson. wanted to buy this phone but chose a N series from Nokia because Nokia was kinda an indestructible force back then.
anyway, I would want a phone with xenon flash now. A phone with LED and xenon both the flash with capable camera would be so great, be it thicker.
I dont want a thin device, i want a capable device.

It was a time when Nokia had better specs and maybe a better build quality but the looks Sony Ericsson was way cooler. I choose the N95 back then though.

This phone is such a legend. One of the phones I really dreamed of having. It's super sleek, super good-looking, such a stunning all-rounder. This post brings so much nostalgia. Those were the days when I have to browse the internet only to look at this phone and read magazines only to find reviews.

I mean the K750 was good but then they released this with the xenon flash 3.2MP cybershot camera & it was just better than anything out at the time.

I bet thismphone with 3.2MP can outperform s20 ultra and its excess of noise reduction that makes a 108MP with 1,5MP quality equivalent.

I was a proud owner of this phone from 2007 to 2009. Undoubtedly the best camera phone of it's time!

I never had the K800, but I did have the predecessor K750 and its successor the K810 as my daily drivers back in th day. Both one of the most reliable phones I have ever used.

I just don't understand why SE phones weren't considered smartphones.
I had a C702 (a spin off of this iconic K800) and I remember using it as my only computer even back in 2009, during a 3 months period.
It could download the best mobile browser at the time (Opera Mini), and the very best 3D games (legendary and superior Galaxy on Fire 2 for example wasn't available on Nokias). It could also download full featured chat apps, and I remember using one (that even had an "AI" assistant)
extensively.
And it could truly multitask all of these!
Fantastic devices.

It was just an unexplainable experience when you are watching casino royale and you have the phone in your possession already.
