Flashback: the Sony Ericsson K800 was as versatile as James Bond and the first Cyber-shot phone

02 August 2020
It even starred in Casino Royale. This phone was a digital camera, a music player, a portable gaming machine, it could upload photos to blogs too.

    Viper, 02 Aug 2020maybe for you, mine K800i lasted quite long, 4 years then i... moreI owned a lot of phones, for me it's quite hard to even remeber something worth while I used to experience with my old handsets.
    Maybe the old nGage, that I used with my mate to play multiplayer Puyo Puyo.
    They were old dumb devices, with UIs and software that guaranteed headaches, a lot of them did not even had heaphone jack or it was utter tosh ...
    Probably the only thing I miss is Nokia N900 keyboard.
    The days when there was not really a smarphone, there were just phones.
    Nostalgia and rose tinted glass sell I guess.

        As an owner of two of these phones, I can say: "I am so glad, this is behind us.".

          This was an amazing phone. The upgrade was huge in all possible aspects compared to anything I was familiar with before it launched. It was the first phone where the camera experience, music player and gaming experience felt all really polished. Sort of the pinnacle of development of the feature phone in my book. I loved it.

            Received it as a gift from my wife. One of the best features would be the xenon flash.. Reading the article really put a smile on my face...Those were the days.

                  Great Flashback from the good old days. A friend of mine had K800, while I had D750i (K750i) and I was a little jealous because of the better camera and bigger screen.
