SE phones gets better and better. But i am more favorable if you guys make one with navi keys instead of joystick. But both works the same for me. Now SE is making the right moves.............

    Yes folks, SE has two versions to choose from. There's the 800 version if you need one with 3G support. And since I don't use 3G for calling, the 790 version works for me (MMS is enough).

        good point. If you also read the posting rules it states:
        No trolling - deliberately antagonizing other brand/model users will get you banned.
        If you have something to say, use constructive critisim instead or you might find your self banned from this website.
        Good job se, an excellent phone - cant wait to see wat you have in store for us at cebit.

          Why should always the same ppl write bad things about SE and vice versa.

          If you don't like joystick, just don't buy the phone. If you want ogmogm camera with carl zeiss lenses than buy 150g+ mobile phone which still makes crappy pic and with big lump of a camera becomes less MOBILEphone.

          So my opinion. This GSM is too big. But i won't go shouting about it couse i know it can't get smaller. If it could it would be. How are they suposed to get all this feautures in it otherwise. I love joystick, couse when i tried 5 way round buttons i couldn't hit desired way and i had to move my thumb arround to be able to press desired way. I don't need symbian. Couse i have a PC, if you don't i'm sry. Most of todays software is very similar so you can't go and say that's nokia's is better couse it depends on users and way of use. The most important feauture is calling, so i want to be able to grap phone in ONE hand and make call in >5s (i can actually do that with my T300). That's phone for me. Camera is a nice feauture but again i don't need x-ray camera in case if my friend hurts his leg. I don't except HI-FI sound out of mobile phone. I just want to hear my m8 in every situation and he needs to hear me.
          If you use WLAN you're one of few, so why bother with 0.01% of costumers who're not buying this phone couse of that beside that phone would probably get extra mm or g. You can always pont out that you find this a problem but you can't say now that this phone is crap now. crap. no. i won't argue. crap.

          I hope you could all just type smth usefull, because when i'm reading that i want to learn about phone in constructive way. Not just read NOKIA ownzzzzzzz, SE roxxxxx, SAMSUNG>ALL.
          I'll give you an example of a constuctive comment: I don't find K750 camera good, because i compared it with N90 and the picture was less detailed, blurry and colours were very pale. Some of you write CANNON cameras are better than SONY. So this phone's camera sux.
          And design is very very personal, so i don't know why should everybody point out that they like theyr teddy bears colour and shape more than this phones.

          Thx for reading. I hope you'll get my point.
          p.s. if you're >16y. old plz think what you're writing.
          I know i wasn't perfect with that post but atleast i tried. That counts imho.

                While I don't see camera phones being comparable to a digital camera, I still want a phone with a decent camera. The main reason being that I don't keep my digital camera on me at all time, but I do have my cell phone on me at all times, so if a moment comes up where I need/want to take a picture, a decent (not great) camera on cell phone would be better than no camera at all. That is partly why I am looking at the K750a. Plus given that I want a cell phone with a decent battery life, Nokia N80 is not an option :(

                Oh, and by the way, mobile-review.com is done with their preview/review of K800/K750. Interesting stuff, check it out.

                  3G is not needed because there is no demand for it in N. America. Cant wait till they release in Canada!

                    TO CLARICE:
                    Don't be foolish!
                    (Nikon 7900 $320-$370)
                    (Panasonic FX9 $300-$350)
                    (Canon S80 $400-$450)
                    (Panasonic LX1 $450-$500)

                    I'm sorry guys, but I'm very dissapointed with the comparison between Nokia 6280, Sony d750 and Nokia N70.

                    THEY ALL LOOK SIMILAR AND HORRIBLE!
                    How can you even review a camera without any camera's features????

                      SE is the best brand ever not because they are better than other phones but because they are actually cheaper. If I had enough money I would buy Nokia but it will cost double for the same features. Despite all this - it is only a phone it is NOT camera so do not hurry to buy it - wait for 6 months and you can get it for half the original price :)

                            Where do these itiods come from? Writes, "new phone but no 3G." Did you care to look at the other models simultaneously released. What is K800? Triband UMTS and remaining specs identical. If that is not a 3G counterpart simultaneously available, then what is. The whole world does not use 3G services. Does every new phone model have to support 3G. And does every new model have to have camera (and removable memory and radio and MP3/MPEG4 player and has to be a smart phone and has to have a stun gun and pepper spray and a laptop and a fax machine and a GPS receiver and a parachute and camcorder and supercomputer and laser printer) attached to it?

                              Sorry to intrude like this, but why do you guys sit and wait for your 3rd party cell phone providers to get the phone and whether they will get them at all or not!

                              Just go get the original damn cell with it's original OEM software from let it be SE, Moto, Nokia or whatever brand it is! I dunno how hard it is for some, but i am sure if Orange doesn;t cell the K800 and you really want it, you can get it somehow!

                              I've been with Fido (owned by Rogers now) for over 8 years now, since 1998, and i have never ever bought one single cell from them ever! Always original from manufacturer!

                              I dunno, just my 2 cent on this concern.

                                    These phone companies, like Sony Ericsson, Sharp, Nokia will ripp you off constantly with their way overpriced gimmick camera phones, because they know that most of you either never had a real digital camera or don't know much about them.

(bytheway, there is not Sharp digital cameras at all, Samsung cameras SUCK, and Sony cameras are bellow everage in 2005)

                                      Sony k790 REVIEW:
                                      CYBERSHOT - So what?
                                      XENON FLASH- So what?

                                      THE LOWEST DIGITAL CAMERA TODAY MUST HAVE:
                                      1) Yes, of course Xenon Flash (Finally-Sony)
                                      2) Totally separate manual control
                                      3) ISO settings
                                      4) Shutter speed settings
                                      5) Optical zoom
                                      6) Normal resolution screen at least 200.000 pixels per 2.0 inch-2.5 inches screen (Sony k790 has 240x320 = Only 76.800! per 2.0 inches!)

                                      Never ever will I waste my money on this so-called camera phones whether it is k790, or Sharp 904!(unless I buy it as a gift)

                                        3.2 megapixel doesnt mean that k790,k800 will capture good videos
                                        you will be disappointed to know that k790,k800 can only capture videos in 220x176 @15frames/sec
                                        may be this is because SE just wants to sell PERFECT phones & not SUPER-PERFECT phones
