Sony Ericsson K 800i

Greetings everybody ,

I wonder if you can give me your views .
I would like to buy the Sony Ericsson k800i .
I 'm not vey good with mobile phones but have been interested in this
because :
!) Would like to have it as camera and video recorder (being a phone
it is always avaiblable to hand and has 3.2 mega pixels .
2) Music to carry around .


Question I would like to pose is :

If I bought this model , can I keep it long term ?
I do not want to up date every so often .
Would the battery be useless after a while?
Will I be able to buy the same battery after a few years ?

In short m Can I get this phone and use it as a multi tool and make it
last ?
Because if so I think it is worth it .


Please give advice if you know .

First, K800i is a good choice, it has a very good camera, as good as a
camera can be on a mobile phone imho, and the music player is OK also, if
you eqiup the phone with a decent size memory card (It doesn't normally come
with the phone), even though it lacks some features available in
SonyEricsson's Walkman-branded models. I can recommend byuing a HPM-70
headset to use instead of the ones that come with the K800 though.

Nowadays, mobile phone manufacturers calculate the lifetime for a mobile
phone to less than 3 years, based upon a delicate balance between
manufacturing costs, quality, technology evolution, and general behaviour of
phone buyers, but the K800i has a quite robust design, no complicated
machanics that slide or twist in order to make a call and therefore, it has
a poterntial to live a bit longer than that. Maybe the camera lens cover is
a question mark, though.

The battery used in the K800i is used in several other SonyEricsson models
as well, so there will probably be replacemetn batteries avaialbe a couple
of years after the K800 is being discontinued as a model.

Forget the video recorging and to take photos in the dark.

Ok.

If you take care of it, of course.

The battery duration is not too long. (2 - 3 days)

> Will I be able to buy the same battery after a few years ?

Sure.
