There aremany excellent reviews already on this phone so for me to add anything new apart from my experience will be quite difficult -
however this is the best phone I've used!
(Update - I'm now using the c902 which blows the k800 away!!)

The regular features alone make it a good phone but the ease of use, the fantastic camera and the robust design add up to make it a phone worth owning.
A few people have moaned about the 'web' shortcut button (the small rectangular one to the right of the joystick) but this is only a web button on some network styles - on my phone from Vodafone) it's an end call button, which is much more use for me).

I have had a few occasions where I've needed to switch off and 'reboot' it (to use a computer analogy) but never had a problem where it didn't come back working again. I know a few people who have complained about this but again I have to stress this is review is just my personal experience.

I like the Sony Ericsson PC Suite (the computer interface program that comes with the phone). It is easy to install and very easy to use - giving decent flexibility on moving files, pictures, videos etc onto your PC. The best advantage for me was that I was able to use the phone as my back-up camera when my regular camera broke. Using the PC suite I could transfer files as quickly as my camera does without the usual hassle of phone to computer interface programs. Again this is only my experience but other computer to phone interfaces I have used are awkward and tricky to get to grips with.

I think phones are a very personal affair - I have used Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, LG and Motorola over my time in the modern world of mobiles.
In this quickly changing area I've found Sony Ericsson have been able to keep some old style things in their menu's and still make them accessible to new users. They have developed a nice fusion of many other menu styles - I'm not saying they are innovative or original, just easy to use.

For an all-round phone this one is almost unbeatable!
