The V800 is more than a phone for me.It has almost anything you need(camera at a high resolution, a large gama of colors, mp3 player etc).I love it very much and I want to buy it but I have no idea how much does it costs.Could someone please tell me?

Hi!Im using a V800 rightnow and its really doing a good job for me.im here in the Philippines and most of the people here are using Nokia handsets but the V800 never fails to amaze them because its stylish,great resolution and its user friendly.simply one of the best phones out there rightnow.(the V800 handset that im using came from UK so i dont know how much does it cost here in the philippines or if it will ever reach here)
Thanks everyone and have a great day!

okay on the web you are gonna have to search "sony ericsson DMR packager" download it, then run your mp3 files through it and it will give it the code that says it is a lega lmp3 then it can be used on the phone as a mp3 ringtone or mp3. the firmware you have to go to a store that does it or you have to buy the acsesoriies to do it, you need a T28 cable and then go to www.setool.net an find out how to upgrade, with the upgrade your v800 will be turned into the the z800 version. witht he upgrade you can have picture id on the outside screen and you can turn off the camera noise and there is no more voda branding it will be just like the z800.

previous opinions and you would see it.

oh my god, i actually laughed when i read aarons comments, poor sod, 1st thing - i cannot believe you are bringing down the v800, the camera is one of the best on the market thats why it can cope with video calling, v3 cant even record video, dated looks, i dont think so, 2nd thing (this made me laugh for a while too) i cannot believe you got duped into paying £500 for a crappy v3, you muppet, come back when you know what your talking about

To Anti Aaron,
I have not made any mistake, if anything, i should have bought the v3 when it just was out. The mistake is the v800 dated looks, poor cam etc. i wont go on. Also if i was a 14 year old kid, how would i be able to afford a £500 V3? My occupation is a top ranking solicitor thats why i can afford a top of the range fone. fair enough the v800 may be 3g but, it simply doesnt have the looks of the v3

Ohh and how could I forget the light on the camera! It is both a faliure and genius. It makes the phone into a really quite good torch with the 6 LED's it lights up! However if you are trying to use the video call function at night it can prove a problem. The light is so bright that you cant see the screen at night... so it makes it impossible to see the other person making video calling with it on pointless. I wish there was an option to toggle 2 4 or 6 of the LED's as it would make it far more useful! Still a damn good feature as a torch on yer phone is great.

Having now had a V800 for a week or so thought I would make a comment... the camera on it is pretty good, I especially like the fact that the outer display is of a good enough quality that you can take pictures without having to ope it. As the camera also rotates there is no risk of it getting dirty or scratched when not in use.
Having 3g speeds makes vodafone live actually vaguely useful now as well. Being able to check the cricket scores and news headlines for free quickly gives it a huge plus point in my book.
My main complaint is that the browser for normal web browsing does not appear to have any ability to fix text to width. Which means if you want to read an article on a web page for example you have to scroll left and right to read each line.
Have had one problem with the phone not making calls but unsure atm wether that was a network fault or software on the phone.
IMO btw it is impossible to compare a V3 and a V800i... one is a phone the other a phone and mp3 player and web browser and video recorder. The V800i is a feature rich device that personally I quite like the look of. The V3 is a fashion victims phone. In fairness the people I know with V3's dont have any problems using them as handsets to make calls or text on but thats all they are really good for.

Forget v3, Aaron made the mistake buying for the sake of the looks, now he realised his mistake and trying to convince everyone V3 isnt that bad, He is probably a 14YO kid who hasnt the cash to affort smth better and having abything else to do, please everyone ignore him as we sould and post smth creative.
Whats the maximum rez on videos?
Does the v800 camera shoots better in the dark comparing to z1010 or k700?

Jury I repect your opinion but I think the
statement "Smart phone" isn't answering for anything...not to anyone. obviously,you are
a great fan of smart phone but sometime some people just want a good phone with nice quality meeting thier need which sometime you can not find it from Smart phone (I am not talking about any Software I mean look,feel or whatever) some people who has smartphone, hardly ever even use the fully funcion so why pay the extra for something that you dont use(for some people I repeat).

Quote "camera of v3 is superior to this megapixel" , this is just hilarious, wonder who will run out and pay more for vga instead of megapixels
"v800 canot even play mp3s or mpeg4 video ", ever since k700i, any Se phone with similar or higher price plays mp3, Aaron, are you on drugs or something? Even the S700i can watch ,peg4, I doubt the V800i couldn't. Why can't people stop bullshitting and give some true facts?????
