Today there is sometimes again to read somewhat of me *g* I greet to you everything here to my report on Sony Ericsson K800i. He has become very long - excused please! Especially{particularly} because he is so long I hope that I also all important one has mentioned. If not says give - I complement it!
Thus it has started{begun} that at the beginning of September my contract{treaty} ran out with o2 and I wanted to extend{lengthen} this. I looked around for a nice mobile phone. Actually, I did not need{require} myself at all a lot look around because there were already only 2 mobile phones for me. Sony Ericsson W900i or the K800i. However, the question also soon cleared. On the one hand, there was in the on-line shop only the K800i and to the second one the K800i has a better camera!:o)

1. Price:
If we immediately come{get} first to an important point by the mobile phone purchase. The price - Me cost the fun{joke} by contract lengthening of my o2-Select of contract{treaty} 149.95 - at the moment by end{conclusion} of a new Genion of contract{treaty} it still costs full{deep} 229.95 . Original price without contract{treaty} about 450 - 500 .
2. Scope of supply:
I ordered{appointed} the mobile phone on a week-end, because I was at the time only on the week-end at home. Then the mobile phone came{got} Tuesday - and me only on Friday:o ( There it had to lie 3 whole days only in my room!:o (*gg*, well, on Fridays come home and lay the package in my room! :-) In the package a small{little} dark box. Unfortunately,, in addition{, moreover}, a Sony Ericsson football{soccer} (an action from o2), was broken the silly ball!:o (*grml* In the mobile phone box were included: - SonyEricsson K800i - an In stereo Kabel-Headset - a battery charger - Data cable USB - PC suite for K800i - Instructions and a few other slips of paper
3. Design:
Then I start{begin} sometimes the appearance{outside}. Like his predecessor the K800i is black with silber. I owned the K750i before the K800i. I found or still think that the K750i looks in black quite
cheap. Indeed, the K800i looks in black very much, very nobly and elegantly. A silver "ring" reaches{suffices} once around the mobile phone. The display will surround from a darkness-shining surface. The joystick is silber, the "navigation keys" are dunkelsilber. Two keys about the display are a Dunkel-Chrome ... like the frame around the display. The loudspeaker is covered by a perforated plate in which also the camera sits for videotelephony. The remaining front{frontage} is black and brushed aluminum works{has an effect}, nevertheless, is plastic{synthetics}. The figure block is smaller a little bit like with the K750i, already almost too small. They are matt black. They feel, actually, very pleasant, however, unfortunately, the keys stand no fingernails which one could well use with the small{little} keys. One should let this prefer, however, but{otherwise} the matt coating{lamination} goes off.:o (
And too very last I want to appeal{speak} with "design" still to the lighting effects! Since Sony Ericsson has thought up there sometimes again something nice. Everybody knows the background lighting them Slowly goes out{burns out}. With the K800i it was put{placed} to one more on it. I have not seen something like that yet, thus I hope sometimes that I tell no garbage from because of "anew". Namely the complete lighting{investigation} is split in 3 parts{sections}: Display, upper half of the keyboard and lower half. With deactivate to the key barrier from above the light begins{goes on} down, how a curtain or shade. With the activation of the key barrier the light goes out{burns out} from below upwards, thus exactly{just} turned. If a phone call comes{gets} the keyboard does{makes} a "LAOLA wave". With an SMS Flashing the keyboard completely. If one closes{concludes} it to the stream{current} in the keyboard also shines in a wave. Besides, the display remains consistently in.
4. Feel:
A small{little} round power button is on the head of the mobile phone. To the turning on likewise hold briefly low-spirited - around switching off. If one presses the power button during the company{operation} (all the same where one is, also in the play{game} or Mediaplayer) only briefly, then a menu{a set meal} in one opens to itself the mobile phone can switch off, Silently switch, key barrier or a profile can select. On the top left at the side there is the Mediataste (Play/break). With her Mediaplayer or radio can be begun or be stopped{continued}. Compared with{Towards}, thus on the right side of the mobile phone 2 keys are for " zoom +/-" and volume control. Nevertheless, one also can{has been able to jump back} by long one print a song or radio station before or. On the front, on top on the left{left} and on the right from the loudspeaker 2 keys are they barely look like keys. One selects{elects} them primarily{chiefly} for the camera inst. it of the left key there the "admission mode" and with the left one the "scene". In the Standby the left key opens the photo / video taken up{accepted} last{in the end} and him the album raked. Within a list or a menu{a set meal} one can do with the keys also Scrollen. With the navigation keys are on the left{left} and on the right in each case a small{little} key. On the left{left} opens the favorites - to whom right opening Popup are indicated in the self-provided{constructed} linking{ties}. The remaining keys are like with most mobile phones also. They own a good pressure point, it Can be typed pleasantly. Unfortunately, the keys have got only a little bit small. As already mentioned smaller, how with the K750i.
5. Important basic features:
Size: 105 x 47 x 22 mms Weight: 115 gs Display size: 240 x 320 pixels (2 inches) Color depth: 262.144 colors Nets: GSM 900, 1800, 1900 + UMTS Memory{Warehouse}: approx. 64 mb Memory map: Memory Embroidering Micro (Mē) to 1024 mb (not included in delivery) Sound: Polyphonic with 72 voices{votes} Supported audioformats: MP3, AAC, AAC +, eAAC +, WAV, AMR, MP4, M4A, MIDI Camera: 3.2 mega pixels with autofocus and xenon flash (16x digitally zoom) The second camera for videotelephony Interfaces: Bluetooth, Infrared + USB Airplane mode MediaPlayer + radio (RDS)
6. The mobile phone more exactly under the magnifying glass:
6.1 displays:
For me the display is a very important thing, in the end, I would also like to be able to recognize{see} a little bit on{after} it and possibly a lot! Therefore, find I good that the new mobile phone of the K series owns a big{great} display with 240x320 pixel. By the high resolution{dissolving} the self-shot photos are effective especially well - they are more sharp and one can recognize{see} a lot. 262,000 colors can be shown. The lighting{investigation} leaves dimmen - 50 - 100% again. What I also like very well - the clock{watch} in the Standby mode can be indicated{signalized} small about the clock{watch}, or, however, LARGELY about the whole{complete} width half-clear! Looks very nicely!:o)>> see photos <<
6.2 cameras:
One of the biggest innovations is the camera! 3.2 mega pixels camera together with the xenon flash really good pictures can be done{made}. Indeed, the famous picture rushing still exists, but the resolution{dissolving} of 2048x1538 pixel really{actually} looks something.
To be able to use the camera, one needs{requires} only the camera cover push open{postpone}. There Briefly appears the Cyber shop logo with a camera symbol. If that goes out{expires} the "start screen" so can be also already got cracking. The trigger up to the first step press to the Fokusieren. Is green of the castes{box} in the middle of the picture and peeps sound so the focus has put{arranged} the picture sharply. If the Fokusieren is not possible because, for example, the object is too near in the lens{lentil}, then remains of the castes{box} white and it sounded also to no peeps. One can take photos not only simply. There are many setting possibilities. I simply go through sometimes briefly the menu{set meal}:
Admission mode (Switchable with under the photo key - on the left{left} beside the display): NORMALLY: standard without specific features{without peculiarities} is selfexplicatory - just BESTPIC: takes up{accepts} a total of 9 photos all at once. The real{virtual} photo and, in addition, 4 before and 4 on releasing. (does not ask me like before releasing photos does{makes}; afterwards o)) from 9 photos one can select{elect} the best photo! or also 2, or 3, or 4, or 9 *g*> then one has a small{little} thumb cinema! =) PANORAMA: Known from the older{elder} Sony Ericsson mobile phones one can take up{can accept} 3 photos successively which are lined up. FRAMES: There are available 15 frames which are put{placed} around the photo. E.g., a desk with 2 right{correct} piles{large amounts} of paper or a hare{rabbit} where then the face of somebody walks in.
Scenes (Switchable with the upper photo key - on the left{left} beside the display):
AUTOMATICALLY: if a mode{way} automatically selects{elects}. NIGHT SCENE: suitable for night admissions as for example a town{city} at night. NightPROTRAIT: suitable for close-ups with bad light. Also suitably for party photos. SCENERY: As the name says, for taking a photo of sceneries or objects they are far away. PORTRAIT: Special{Particular} qualities{properties} for taking up{for accepting} of portraits BEACH{SEASHORE} SNOW: Should unterexposure of pictures avoid in bright surroundings{area}, the right{correct} possibility has not had yet to try out it. SPORT: To avoid especially{particularly} short exposure time around unsharpness. DOCUMENT: Here especially{particularly} high contrast is put{stopped}. Thereby one can recognize{see} writing{handwriting} on documents or also drawings well! One can take a photo without problems with 3tommy gun of an A4 side and then read wonderfully with the mobile phone while looking{considering} far ranzoomen and everything!
From, Black and white, negative, sepia{cuttlefish}, Solarisieren:
White comparison:
Automatically, daylight, cloudy, fluorescent lamp, electric light bulb
Measuring mode:
Normally: If the brightness of the whole{complete} middle field of the photo misses. Advertisement{Spot}: If the brightness misses in the center (crosshair) - It is to be taken a photo Possibly persons against the light. Does not look so great, but one recognizes{sees} the face; o)
Image quality:
Normally - Finely
Locking tone:
4 different tones stand for the choice which can sound while releasing.
Time and date:
Time and date is inserted in the photo, knows I think sometimes everybody.
Speicherzeil:
One can select{elect} phone memory or Memory Embroidering as a memory purpose.
Who wants to have no photos videos separate presses the joystick simply down (if the mobile phone was turned around 90 ° to the left> camera posture) and upwards again around photos to do{make}.
6.3 entertainments:
To the entertainment the mobile phone offers many possibilities! Beside the camera a program is already installed{already put in} with which one can shoot portraits in the VGA format and then afterwards these are distorted. The whole one is called "FaceWarp" Beside the program 3 plays{games} are preinstalled{preput in} in right{correct} 3D graphic arts. This is a mini-golf, tennis and a play{game} with one must do{make} as a diver photos of fishing{fish}. If is honestly{fairly} said quite wittily the play{game}; o). Then beside the plays{games} there is of course still radio with RDS and a MediaPlayer. To radio is real{virtual} only accept that the Headset must be connected, because this serves as an antenna. The Mediaplayer is, actually, like the player on the predecessor's mobile phones. One can provide{construct} own Playlisten or sort according to interpreters and tracks. What was improved is that with radio and Mediaplayer the reproduction is not stopped if one leaves the player or radio about the "Zurück key". The use{employment} of the "Play/Pause key" is improved likewise. If one presses now in the Standby this Mediataste so is asked whether one wants to use the loudspeaker. If one presses the program used last{in the end} starts immediately and plays, nevertheless, remains minimized. Earlier{formerly} one had to have connected the Headset to begin radio or Mediaplayer by this key. Otherwise there is still FotoDJ, VideoDJ and MusikDJ. With these programs one can work on photos and videos or provide{construct} own polyphonic ringing tones Also the Bluetooth remote control still exists to happy way{manner}. Thus one can - provided that one has an USB-Bluetooth-Dongle which supports the HID protocol - steer the PC with the mobile phone (far). It can like after new Java plays and Java programs are downloaded - about WAP or Internet in the PC. On the computer is probably the better variation{variant} - goes faster, more simply and is more favorable! One need{require} only Bluetooth or Infrared in the PC.
6.4 data transfers:
Basically there is to transfer 4 possibilities around data{dates} of the mobile phone on the PC and vice versa - USB, Infrared (IrDA), Bluetooth or Cardreader
6.4.1 USB:
With the provided USB cable one can connect the mobile phone directly{immediately} to the USB port of the computer. However, moreover the drivers or PC suite must be installed{be put in}! About USB either MemoryStick or phone memory leaves as a mass memory device. One can also go on the mobile phone via GPRS or UMTS to the Internet if one has no Flat or volume rate, however, this is very expensive{dear}!
IrDA (Infrared Data Association - English) is, actually, this most simply, but also slowest ones. One needs{requires} in addition, however, also an infrared interface in the PC. If one has none one must buy to himself an IrDA-USB-Dongle. Should this be the case, I advise: Buys rather immediately a Bluetooth-Dongle! It is quicker and easier{simpler} to use, because must exist{consist} with an Infrared view connection. If you have Infrared in the PC simply with the mobile phone and PC IrDA activate{energize}, mobile phone with the IrDA interface (on the right lower side) before the IrDA interface of the PC lay{put}. He automatically connects. Now simply desired files there or here send.
6.4.3 Bluetooth:
Here it must exist more logically a Bluetoothschnittstelle in the PC also points. E.G., an USB-Bluetooth-Dongle (see my report on "Belkin Bluetooth USB Adapter") Bluetooth is a radio transference, hence, no view contact is necessary and offers a reach from up to 10 ms. About Bluetooth one can steer with the mobile phone also the PC, with the help of the " preinstalled{preput in} remote controls ". The whole one happens about the HID profiles (Humanly interface Device profiles). The connected or available{in existence} Bluetooth adaptor of the PC must support this profile, so that one can use this function. The USB adaptor of Belkin which I own supported HID. Thus before the purchase inform, HID have by far not all products!
6.4.4 Cardreader/map reader:
The Cardreader is probably the quickest method. Nevertheless, one must do{make} this the map{card} every time from the mobile phone. This is not so well for the cover of the map plumb line. Then at least the cover of my K750i's was worn{worn out} a little bit and then has fitted no more so well. Then one needs{requires} of course a Cardreader. Then this must be suitable for " Memory Embroidering Micro (Mē) ". Of my knowledge there is not such a map reader, however, yet. If one buys a mē memory, however, an adaptor is present{involved} for usual. Unfortunately, I cannot say to you yet what. So much I know with the M2's about Sony an adaptor for the old Memory Sticks. I will shop with one from SanDisk and I believe there an adaptor is present{involved} for Memory Embroidering duet. As said, I cannot exactly say this, however.
6.4.5 mobile phone nets:
The K800i supports the GSM nets 900, 1800 and 1900 and, in addition{moreover}, the new UMTS net. For Internet WAP, GPRS and UMTS can be used. The UMTS net offers a range{bandwidth} from up to 384 kbit/s! The 6fache ISDN speed - or also DSL (extremist) LITE-Geschwindikeit (like with us) :( UMTS is quicker around something than GPRS with an approximate range{bandwidth} from 53kbit / see, add thus possibly to one 56k analogous modem immediately.
7. videotelephony:
I have not tried out it yet with an interlocutor, but one can in the "videophone" also thus rumspielen; o) one goes in the menu{the set meal} on "videophone call" and already one reaches{gets} there. Immediately one sees there also already thus a funny face. *g* One sees the picture of the small{little} camera about the display; o) One can show a photo to the other{different} or the picture that the small{little} one or the big{great} camera delivers{supplies}! There are 2 videowindows, small{little} below{at the bottom} left and big{great} in the middle. For usual is own in small{little} one and the interlocutor in the big{great} window. Nevertheless, one can also exchange this. In addition{moreover}, one can reflect own picture, 2x Zoom, brightness put{stop}, night mode switch on or switch off the camera completely. One can also issue the microphone. Directly{Immediately} in the menu{the set meal} one can call{phone} somebody by videotelephony. However, "Videoniert" not so much! At least{anyway}, 1 minute costs approx. 1 !!! With O2 these are 0.99 /Min!
8. Result:
All in all, I am more than contently with the mobile phone! One has it, actually, everything what to himself can only wish! The only negative one is the keyboard by which the coating{lamination} goes off and I miss the flashlight like with the K750i or also W800i or W810i But{Otherwise} all TOP!!! Especially{particularly} like{fall} me the display, the camera and the design of the mobile phone. Also the flash is a great thing. The price is still relatively high, however, soon he will also go under it. Unfortunately, no Memory Embroidering was provided! For the price one could have expected{awaited} this! So, only> well On account of the figure keys only> very well excellently However, the operating instructions are not especially detailed understandably!
In this sense
All friends of the quick click should get no more phone calls
