TO STEVEN:
I don't think Sony will ever grow up.
Their cyber shot cameras suck anyway, so you can't expect them to have a decent camera inside the phone either.

Also, not to mention that Ericsson was very close to Nokia in phone quality before Sony has acquired Ericsson and it became a joke since then.

    Yea so when will they ever get out of the tri-band phase? Just when you think they finally start to make some quads(W810 and W600), they baffle you with a killer flagship tri-band. Quad-band is a make-or-break feature for me, apparently SE doesn't think it's so important(NONE of the major manufacturers do except maybe Motorola and now Nokia). Sorry, but when they do make quads with the high-rez screen and good camera and all, I will gladly shell out the money.

        GREAT CAMERA - I AGREE.
        BUT SONY: WHEN WILL YOU GROW UP?

        AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN:
        -Small screen 2.0(Dig. cameras today 2.5-3.0!)
        -Joystick again! (this is a camera phone, not a video game!)
        -Small phone size again! (for those with girlie hands, that can't hold a decent weigh)
        -Due to a girlish design, inconvinient keypad again

        CONCLUSION?
        SONY: GROW UP!!!!

          When will Sony Ericsson start giving their flagship phones quad-band? When they do, gimme a call, I'll be first in line to buy one.

            yeah to bad sony ericsson can mix the 2 bands like Nokia did with the n80 and 6233, but still the n80 owns this one in feature set.

              Obviously, this phone has the best combination of features to date although I dislike the styling in the joystick area-could be cleaner IMO. Unlike this phone, the k750, has a very little waste of valuable real estate but I quess how are you going to fit in all those features! The screen looks a bit small in comparison to the size of the phone. I guess I was expecting Wilma and not Betty. I'll still buy it though for the features alone.

                I mobile-review.com has a four part review of the K800/K790. Each part reviews a different aspect of the phone (but it is not a complete review, yet).

                      For the individual that said they "tested" this phone already, and that the pictures suck, I know I am not going to believe some random source. Not because I am "SE lover," but because it would be stupid to just believe someone that randomly posts on a forum. I will wait until it is actually reviewed by GSMarena and other sites and base my decision on that. If it turns out that the phone doesn't live up to the hype, I will probably go with my back up chose, the Samsung D600.

                        No George the K790 won't use the "regular" Memory Stick, it will be using the new Memory Stick Micro, which you have to buy a whole new Memory Stick. That is were sony is going to rope in the most money. It's like the way a lot of stores give away free printers, and get you on the ink.

                          I noticed both the K800 and K790 are up on the SE website for Europe, but no K790 is up on the America side, does that mean a later release or just that individuals in charge of the America website are just too lazy to put the K790 on the website?

                                    This phone is simply incredible. I was really considering getting the K750, but this phone looks better and has better features. Sony Ericcsson did it again. And the phone is not ugly its just an acquired taste. The phone is a great mixture of class and style. Its not a phone for the extravagant, but for the modest who prefer brains over braun.

                                      Such a great phone.though...!

                                      joystick!!!
                                      small screen size!!!
                                      etc....
                                      however i gotta say that no phone can take better pics than SE does HOWEVER lol again! pics are NOT the main thing people look for in cellphones.

                                      I STAND BY FOR WHAT I HAVE SAID A WHILE AGO IN SE PAGE WHICH IS : N80 from NOKIA is still the best or will be in markits....................it has what both K790i,K800i have.
