The camera is as good as I expected, with indoor shots being a little worse (noisier) and outdoor shots being a little better. I do have three key issues with the camera, none of which are deal-breakers:<br /><br />1) The LED flash doesn't trigger itself automatically. Very weird. You turn it on manually by pressing *, which causes the LEDs to turn on at half-power. Presumably this is to help you frame the shot, but it's distracting, and uncomfortable for your subjects. When you take the shot, the brightness increases to full power for a second, as one would expect.<br /><br />2) Another flash issue--it messes up the white balance. The automatic white balance is very good but with the flash on you have to manually set it to Fluorescent or the pictures come out MUCH too orange.<br /><br />3) The performance of the playback feature is terrible. It can take up to 4-5 seconds to browse to a different image, and you can forget about zooming and panning.<br /><br />I still have to give the phone 4 stars though because despite all this, the pictures are better than the competitions'.<br /><br />As for the rest of the phone, it meets my fairly high expectations. Reception is good, call quality is good, the UI is friendly and quick, the screen is bright and sharp, the keyboard is rubbery in a good way, and the joystick is pleasant once you get used to it. (I thought it might have been defective for the first 20 minutes.) Some points off because the softkeys are at a bit of an odd angle and because it uses a stupid proprietary pop-port connector instead of mini-USB, which is getting to be more and more common.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=696 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=696&r=20346#review20346 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=696&r=20346#review20346 Tue, 05 Dec 2006 20:42:25 GMT <p><i>Jaqian submitted this review of the Sony Ericsson K750 / W800 / D750 / W700:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I've had this phone little over a month now, its my second Sony Ericsson or third if you count my Ericsson T28 :) I had a SE F500i and this is a great improvment on that, which I replaced with a Nokia 6230i. Have to say that when it comes to <br />phones I split evenly between Nokia and Sony Ericsson, they are the two best phone makers on the market IMO.<br /><br />What I love about this phone:<br /><br />* ease of use - the GUI is very intuitive<br />* the memory card, much easier to look after your data.<br />* the 2MP camera - takes great photos<br />* the camera slide which starts the camera up straight away.<br />* the flash<br />* nice design<br />*improvement in the charger (use to have to jiggle it with the F500i to get it to charge)<br /><br />What I don't like:<br />* the back of the phone clicks when you hold it when texting.<br />* poor battery life but you expect this with colour phones.<br />* better software for playing *.mp3s<br />* software that came with the phone kept crashing when trying to install so I've had to drag and drop my files direct to the memory card using a card reader. I've download new software from the site but I haven't had a chance to try it out yet.<br /><br />Overall I think this is a great phone and a great buy. Some small annoying problems but they don't detract from the phone for me.<br /><br />4/5</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=696 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=696&r=17972#review17972 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=696&r=17972#review17972 Sat, 29 Jul 2006 15:01:43 GMT <p><i>a99tandem submitted this review of the Sony Ericsson K750 / W800 / D750 / W700:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>To all those who say it has firmware problems.. you ever try UPDATING it?? It comes with an update utility on CD and even the USB cable to do it! Don't complain if you don't try to fix the problem!<br /><br />..Anyhow.. I'm not going to be redundant. There are plenty of good reviews with good information about this phone. I have been in cellular sales for about 5 years now, and this is beyond the shadow of a doubt the best phone I've even owned. The UI is the best of any phone brand out there. Now that the w810 is out, we no longer need to complain about SE ignoring EDGE and 850mhz!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=696 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=696&r=17946#review17946 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=696&r=17946#review17946 Thu, 27 Jul 2006 18:45:44 GMT <p><i>el_chuster submitted this review of the Sony Ericsson K750 / W800 / D750 / W700:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I like this phone. Have been using it for 4 months.<br /><br />Camera works good. I can download pictures and the quality is good. I can even upload pictures and it looks good on the screen. It has a very bright screen, with vivid colors.<br /><br />Walkman feature is good too. Phone menu for phone feature is easy to learn and use. Decent sound quality. I usually play songs sorted by Artist, Albums. You can setup playlists, but its cumbersome. You can also play songs by "Tracks", but it's not practical. In other words, this phone does not have a lot of options to play songs in the order you want. Radio reception is good.<br /><br />Battery life is good. I get about 4 days on a full charge. The phone is durable too.<br /><br />Couldn't get bluetooth to see my laptop or vice-versa, but I only spent 15 minutes trying to get it to work.<br /><br />I have it synchorizing to Outlook using IrDA, and that works fine.<br /><br />But does it answer calls? Unfortunately, the reception is not as good as my old Nokia 6800. T-Mobile was already bad in my area, but I now can only use my phone upstairs. The Nokia 6800 had reception (albeit weak) all over the house.<br /><br />Sony software always suck. You can't just copy .mp3 files to the phone. You have to use their Disk2Phone software, and that thing doesn't always recognize my phone. When it does work, it would take like 15 minutes to upload about 20 songs.<br /><br />I would buy the phone again, but I hope Sony/Ericsson continues to improve on the crappy stuff and leave the good parts of the phone alone.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=696 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=696&r=16290#review16290 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=696&r=16290#review16290 Mon, 24 Apr 2006 05:28:29 GMT <p><i>medicineman360 submitted this review of the Sony Ericsson K750 / W800 / D750 / W700:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I had been scoping out ebay for the better part of a year after I decided this was THE phone I wanted. After the price came down about $150 I couldn't wait any longer and jumped in feet first and got it. I've never been happier and have never looked back!<br /><br />PROS:<br />1) - Yes, it's still (only) a phone, but the 2mp pics are AMAZING! The camera has "real camera features" like macro, auto focus, white balance (that works), image effects. The "night mode" (which a lot of phone cams have ) is by far the BEST I've seen yet. The dual LED flash is BRIGHT (almost too bright if you're up close to your subject)<br />2) - IRda AND Bluetooth. I've never been a Bluetooth freak and what I was looking for was an infrared port to zap contacts to my PDA. Never had any problems with the BT on this phone.<br />3) - Two words: Mega Bass�. Sony's venerable EQ setting still kicks *** and sounds GREAT!<br />4) - Super-easy set up. Set-up wizard out of the box, then settings sent via SMS from sony's UK site (phone not supported on US site) and I was golden.<br />5) - FM radio<br />6) - The cam flash doubles as a handy little flashlight. (invaluable after having a nokia 3200!!) Setting for on, on (1 minute) or "sos" (for the next time you've crash landed somewhere)<br />7) - The included media player is easy (once you get used to it)<br />8) - Earpiece volume is great<br />9) - Reception seems to be great everywhere I go<br />10) - Nice design. Smaller than pics give impression. Controls laid out well for the most part<br />11) - Nice screen (252k) and menu<br />12) - Battery life (could be worse)<br /><br /><br />CONS:<br />1) - Battery life (could be better too)<br />2) - External speaker volume SUCKS!<br />3) - No 2.5mm headphone jack. Can only use supplied (albeit, stereo) headset<br />4) - Apparently only supports 3GPP format for viseos (could be istaken though - haven't played with video that much)<br />5) - Speaking of video, the video clips made with the camera suck!<br /><br />Hope this helps. I PROMISE... you WON'T be disappointed.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=696 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=696&r=14807#review14807 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=696&r=14807#review14807 Fri, 27 Jan 2006 07:06:13 GMT <p><i>scottypimpin submitted this review of the Sony Ericsson K750 / W800 / D750 / W700:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>After shopping for a new phone for 6 months while being out of contract with VZ, I finally found a phone that had everything I wanted. I was not satisfied by anything the US carriers had to offer, so the w800i was just what I was looking for.<br /><br />I live in and travel around Texas and there has been absolutely no problem with signal. Indoors, in between small towns (on major highways), and even inside sports arenas the w800i has good reception. <br /><br />The camera does what you can expect from a camera phone. Quite impressive, but not made for printing wedding pictures. Great dual-LED lamp feature though. Ease of use is a major plus here. The Walkman component is a great concept included on this phone but the interface and setting up playlists, etc. takes some getting used to. The speaker is fair, no more no less. The provided stereo headset is nice and I have not yet tried the Bluetooth capability. Battery life is superb! Can't say that for many of my other electronic devices (old phone, nano) but this is one of my favorite things about the phone. <br /><br />In terms of the software freezing up, I have had no such problems. The size is roughly the footprint of a nano and about twice as thick. Cool, unless you have big hands. Finally, I love the freedom of an unlocked phone. For those of you who just have to play mp3s as ringtones, the w800i does that too.<br /><br />I would recommend this phone to anyone looking for a fairly priced ($280) unlocked GSM phone for use in the US.<br /><br />Pros:<br />2 MP camera<br />Included 512mb memory stick<br />Walkman mp3 player integrated well<br />Included hands-free stereo headset<br />Lamp/Flash<br />FM radio<br />mp3s can be set to ring tones<br />Great battery life<br />Bright, clear screen<br />Bluetooth<br />Infrared<br />Software functionality<br />Great signal (T-Mobile)<br />Small<br /><br />Cons:<br />No Quad-band<br />Small joystick requires familiarization<br />Speaker volume could be louder<br /><br />Next best option, Samsung D600.<br /><br />Get one. After searching for 6 months, I wouldn't steer you wrong.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=696 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=696&r=13869#review13869 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=696&r=13869#review13869 Sat, 17 Dec 2005 06:14:07 GMT <p><i>nok6100 submitted this review of the Sony Ericsson K750 / W800 / D750 / W700:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>The W800i does just what it's suppose to do, and does it well.<br />I have been a die-hard Nokia guy, and after a experience with one of thier latest "smart" phones (6681, full of firmware problems), all I have to say is 'Goodbye Nokia!'.<br />Although the W800i is not a symbian, or windows smartphone based, it performs superb. Menus are fast to navigate through, and most important of all, no glitches along the way. This is really a breath of fresh air for myself, after dealing with some slow, feature lacking Nokia's.<br />I am not bashing Nokia, they just have a lot of catching up to do, and they have hurt their image(to people like me)by releasing inferior phones, but obviously they have some great ones too (6101, 6100, 6610, etc.). <br />Sony has really got their act together with this phone. So I will continue to enjoy this W800i for quite some time. Imaging, music, and a fully functional phone, that really works, in one compact size, and light weight (99 gms.), is definitely something to be commended.<br />Is it worth almost $500? Absolutely! I did a LOT of research, and this phone is the best at what it does. (until something better is released, which will probably not take long)<br /><br />PROS:<br /><br />Imaging; 2 mega pix, auto focus, excellent macro mode, editing (special fx). Built in flash, and it doubles as a flashlight! (not bad)<br /><br />Media player; Easy to use interface for MP3's with playlist, fast forward, and rewind to go to a specific spot in the song your listening too.<br /><br />Headset; Excellent sound quality, and adapter included, so you may use any headphones you wish (3.5 mm jack)<br /><br />Memory; Pro Duo stick, 512 mb included, memory limited to 2 gb (as so I hear, may be able to use larger stick).Use the memory stick with a card reader for effortless transfer of files to and from your computer.Memory card may be removed/reinserted into the phone without the need to turn the phone off.(hot swapable)<br /><br />Display; Bright and clear.<br /><br />Cons; External speaker weak,but ok. Headset volume a little low,but ok too.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=696 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=696&r=13868#review13868 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=696&r=13868#review13868 Sat, 17 Dec 2005 05:18:04 GMT <p><i>kenneth5001 submitted this review of the Sony Ericsson K750 / W800 / D750 / W700:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>So I bought the K750i off ebay unlocked brand new.

Easy to use, robust interface, and jam packed with features. The phone itself feel very well put together and solid. I have only had it 3 days now, but so far, the phone has just surpassed all expectations. The k750 is replacing my T610, and just really shows how dated the T610 is. The only reason this phone is not a perfect 5 is the ear piece could be a smidge louder and I'm having some difficulties updating the firmware.

It is small, cool looking and has every feature a boy could ask for. 2MP camera, bluetooth, autofocus, speakerphone and other great features. There is nothing I would modify about this phone (maybe if it was a flip) except for the fact that it does not get great reception.<br /><br /><br /><br />Cell phones are used for talking #1, and features are a secondary feature. The phone just does not seem to be getting the high signal quality that it should be.<br /><br />However, I still gave this phone a 4 because, although its more prominant on this phone, Sony Ericsson in general does not have the best reception. If you want reception, then you should own a Nokia. You want a cool small phone with more gadgets than Ron Jeremy's basement, then this is your phone.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=696 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=696&r=12724#review12724 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=696&r=12724#review12724 Wed, 26 Oct 2005 03:07:57 GMT <p><i>themod submitted this review of the Sony Ericsson K750 / W800 / D750 / W700:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I love Sony phones but, this one has some problems.

Only complaint is limited choice of earpieces are not ideally suited for activities (they fall out easily).

But the problem is with it's features &amp; functions.<br /><br />I'm not going to elaborate on this phone becos it's not worth mentioning it, it freezes all the time, CAVEAT EMPTOR!!!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=696 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=696&r=12278#review12278 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=696&r=12278#review12278 Sat, 01 Oct 2005 16:50:18 GMT <p><i>half_a_head109 submitted this review of the Sony Ericsson K750 / W800 / D750 / W700:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I've had this phone for about a month now and I got it online unlocked but I got it for a cheaper price because I got it with a service plan. But here's my review on the phone-<br /><br />Pros: Brilliant color screen, amazing picture quality, which you can zoom in on once you've taken it, video quality isn't bad either, it holds mp3's, which you can send to your phone via blue-tooth or included usb cable, you can either set for a specific function such as receiving calls or text messages or you can just listen to them with or with out the included head set, blue-tooth and infrared is a big plus, also you can play games with great graphics, or you can edit your pictures or videos with Video DJ or Photo DJ or create you own ring-tones with Music DJ, or you can listen to the included radio, and a button on the side of the phone can be dedicated to either the radio or mp3's.<br /><br />Cons-Keys are a bit small, camera is slow in taking picture, when trying to look through the pictures they take a long to to go to the next one and it takes a long time to zoom in on the picture once you've taken it, you can only listen to the radio if you put in the included head set, but you can put the radio on speaker-phone so that all my listen too, and the dedicated side button can only be used with the head set in.<br /><br />Over all this phone is the best thing that I've ever used and I feel that it's better that I got it unlocked so i can switch services if I wanted to and the blue-tooth is restricted. The phone sells for around $400 - $500 but you can get it cheaper with a service plan at MobileBee.com</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=696 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=696&r=12025#review12025 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=696&r=12025#review12025 Sun, 18 Sep 2005 09:15:11 GMT <p><i>Philasan submitted this review of the Sony Ericsson K750 / W800 / D750 / W700:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I use the phone in Southern California, on the Cingular network. Mostly in LA and Riverside. Reception does not seem to be a problem at all. Sound quality is always good.<br /><br />Pros:<br />**Great user interface, customizable buttons, themes, ring tones, everything!<br />**Amazing camera for a phone. It's just like having a digital camera. It has flash, white balance, effects... all the basic digital camera stuff PLUS, it AUTO-FOCUSes just like a real camera! printed some pics on glossy photo paper and they look very good, just dont expect bigger than standard size prints, remember it's JUST a 2 Megapixel camera. <br />**included USB DATA CABLE that you can use to manage files, synch with Outlook, as well as use SEUS(sony ericsson update service) to update your firmware!!<br />**Calendar, Tasks, Notes, all seem 100% synched with outlook<br /><br />Cons:<br />**not all fields in Contacts synch w/ Outlook<br />**Hong_Kong version cannot search contacts by multiple characters, only by first leter(however European versions can) If you primarily use English, try getting European version phone<br />**Media player for playing mp3s is just mediocre on the k750 because it lacks options to sort your music with. W800's is better.<br /><br />----------------------------------------<br />Bottom Line: This is the best phone I've ever owned. The Phone itself works like any phone should except I'm having so much fun using it. The user interface is great! I've never used the Calendar/Organizer functions in a phone before until I got this phone because they made it so easy to use!<br />The camera is sooo incredibly handy, I never knew I was missing out on so many kodak moments! Because the cam is so great, i have tons of photos for me and my friends to look back on.<br /><br />Cell phone + Camera + basic MP3 player = k750i (and less clutter in my pocket)<br /><br />PS-i originally considered the nokia 6682 but i'm very happy that I chose the k750i. looking back on it, i dont think the 6682 would be as much fun to use.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=696 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=696&r=11976#review11976 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=696&r=11976#review11976 Fri, 16 Sep 2005 18:37:13 GMT <p><i>Dibe11 submitted this review of the Sony Ericsson K750 / W800 / D750 / W700:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>The K750i is a great phone. Don't pay much attention to the people leaveing such negative feedback on a phone that has incredible features. Everyone that is saying that it doesn't have EDGE doesn't understand that the phone is not made for the US market, so why would they put EDGE? They rather invest the money into the amazing camera they put into the phone. Also, I use the phone with Cingular in Florida which only has 850 MGz and it doesn't have the best reception, but believe it or not it has decent reception. <br /><br />For those of you who have problems with the actual software or the phone is restarting itself like mine did when I first bought it...just update the software...actually I flashed it into a W800i, I now have the walkman phone for $30 instead of paying over $100 difference to buy it...it fixes all the bugs!!!<br /><br />Its a definete buy!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=696
