The best camera phone of 2006 so far, the Sony Ericsson K800i outshines all others in term of features and user-friendly design. Aside from a few squabbles with the extra bulk, the K800i makes it easy for first-time 3G users and is an ideal companion for anyone wanting to take happy-snaps on-the-go.

the best phone ever as long as you have warranty, I had the phone for 6 months everything worked for the first few months then a "application and game error" kept occuring, anyway I got that fixed ($50 later) and then another few months later the internal speaker died, got that fixed ($50 later) and then a few months after that the the software went all weird and froze up and I just was so sick of it and smashed it, anyway, bought another one of my mate (who replaced his first because it had the "application and game error" and it worked fine for about 3 minutes then turned itself off and never came back on, tried to get it fixed and the phone doctor told me it's dead forever! but whilst I had it the phone was awesome, I bought it for $300 but I've compared it with phones at $600 and I can say this takes the cake, the camera is awesome, it takes the best shots ever, video isn't the best quality ever but hey it's a phone! I say if your after GREAT value it's a MUST buy, but you MUST and I say MUST!!!!!! keep the receipts
Pros: *3.2MP great quality Camera with many settings
* does basically everything.
* great value
Cons: *Software and hardware issues
* Camera slider gets a little jammed
* Charger/Headphones/USB connetion thing loose or something and you have to fiddle with it to get it to work
I upgraded a k800i to a k850i and the touch buittons stopped working then bought a motorola whick is crap i had the k800i a month after its release and 3 years later i and goin to get a new one
Pros: Reliable
3.2 MEGAPIXEL camera
Cons: the repair center not faulty but the creen was scratched so i wanted it replaced they forgot to put parts of the phone together and didnt fix the screen and put air in the battery.
one of the best phones i have used so far. the problem with the camera cover opening by accident was solved when i bought a ckear plastic case for it. it did get a bit thicker but it was worth it since the problem with the camera cover opening by accident in your pocket was solved
best phone i've used. i say its worth to compare with the c902
Pros: great camera with xenon flash
menu is NOT sluggish at all
music player is awesome
I have had this phone for 3 years and if it breaks or if i lose it im going to get another k800
Pros: I have had this phone for 3 years and if it breaks or if i lose it im going to get another k800
Cons: I recently purchased the lastest nokia and sony ericsson phones with 5 megapixel and gps and they are crap.im now selling them on ebay and keeping the k800 forever as it is the most reliable phone i have ever had
Pros: Simple to use, decent features, good battery life, reliable and strong
Cons: Locking keys doesn't stop camera from being activated, bulky, dust in analog stick has to use M2 memory stick only which costs a fair bit and only made by sony and no other tech really uses m2
It's been a long time coming but finally Nokia has a sexy touchscreen phone. Although, does it have what it takes to make us look away from the ever-alluring iPhone?
CNET Australia's latest video series is dedicated to everything mobile, including a peek at the sexiest phones of the future and a wrap of all the phone's we've reviewed this month.
Pronouncing that a given device doesn't need any more storage is a near-foolproof recipe for looking stupid somewhere down the line. However, I'm sceptical that many people need a 16GB mini-SD card for their phone.
CNET.com.au's UK colleagues got their hands on the T-Mobile G1, the first commercially available phone to run Google's Android platform. Check out our photo gallery for a closer look.

Other manufacturers are very close, but Sony Ericsson is the first to show off its 8-megapixel camera phone: the C905. Armed with a range of tech, this latest Cyber-shot is more than a phone with a camera stuck to its back.
