This phone is the full package. Just got back from a 2 week trip to the UK. Threw a 1G memory card in it. Snapped over 600 pictures and almost an hour of video. The video quality isn't great but the sound is outstanding. The pics are better than a 3.2 MP camera would produce. The joystick stands up to rugged use (i'm hard on my phones). I've had a little trouble with the software to use the USB cord that came with it - but I suspect it's my ancient laptops issue. I love my Sony.

              Yo Hello All... I am using this fone for more than 2 months and no problems at all. All the features are great well say amazing and outstanding. Camera is just rocking. And this is for those who thinks that this phone takes noisy photos. I have a software for noise removal from the photos which are ony captured from SE phones. If someone want this software then inform me on my e-mail Iwill send this software to you by e-mail. My E-mail Address is

              One More Thing Nokia N73 And N73 Music Edition cannot win the race between K790 And N73 And N73 Music Edition. SE is the BEST.

                              I had this phone, it is a great machine, but i have to say that i sold it because i am kinda tire of the menu, it is like every other sony ericsson model, i was kinda tire also for the functionality, besides the camera the phone was a little boring

                                  I currently own a K790A and I really didn't think I could do everything I've done with the camera. It's really amazing! And for the guy that asked if it has good sound, it sounds great, I hear at AAC+ at 64kbps with the built-in headphones / hands-free and it sounds great... a little low but still sounds great.

                                    for those who own the phone
                                    this is one of the vest in taking pictures on the market... but how about it's audio player?
                                    i know that SE separate camera phones from those, (say w series) but its audio quality is good?
                                    i hope so, but can any1 confirm?

                                      For you guys out there thinking about getting this phone: It is incredible. It is an iphone killer imho.

                                      I'm not a "fanboy", so I'll first state the 2 major drawbacks of this phone as opposed to an Iphone:

                                      1>The screen is smaller.
                                      2>No touch screen.

                                      For folks asking about what M2 sticks it will support: I have a 4 gig by Sandisk in mine right now, working great, and rumor is that the M2 format can eventually go to 32 gigs.

                                      Picture Quality: It isn't nearly as good as my Sony s717, which is maybe 3 or 4 lbs, and maybe 6 inches long. This is the first true "Cybershot" camera combined with a phone, meaning it's always with you.

                                      I would compare the pics to a compact/pocket digital you could snag at Walmart for maybe $150. It has a REAL flash, not an LED, and "bestpic" which takes 10 pics in fast succession, so you can save the one in which one of your subjects does not have their eyes shut, etc, and ditch the rest. It has a pretty killer camera feature set otherwise too: One feature I really like is the panoramic shot: This mode will promt you to take a left, center, and right picture of, say a beach, then automatically "stitch" all 3 together for a panoramic shot.

                                      The audio playback is quite good IF you take the time to set up the EQ correctly.

                                      The "stereo widening" effect is similar to a Hughes system; quite expanding, but not obtrusive.

                                      I have seen complaints about people not being able to play videos/movies as well as they liked on this phone, and it confused me at first too. Most of them do not realize that They should go to the "entertainment center" to play a movie instead of simply clicking on the file in the folder. If you play them this way, you can back up, pause, ffwd, etc simply using the thumbstick.

                                      Be warned though, this is the one drawback of the k790: it's screen is smaller, so if you desire to watch Jackass 2 whilst driving down the highway at 70mph, perhaps this isn't the phone for you ;) .

                                      However I currently have a full copy of Blader Runner Directors cut, a dozen or so music videos, and approx 1000 mp3's on my 4g Sandisk M2 stick atm, which I got on ebay for about $75, and it's maybe 3/4 full.

                                      If you decide to get one (or many other phones for that matter), There is a pretty cool freeware prog I found called "Miksoft Mobile Media Converter", that will take most full sized versons of videos, and crunch them down to a size appropriate for your phone. If anyone finds another freebie that does the same thing, please post!

                                      Awesome phone, I would recommend one highly, especially considering that the M2 card format is already at 4 Gigs, and possibly can go to 32...
