Sony Ericsson K810i

The phone is 5 years old still working love camera like how it can use bluetooth with more advanced phones slim light its battery is not good at all after some years I have shortcuts to places its 3g network is great some phones are even worst it has great definition can text easily. So its still a great phone

I have had this phone for the last 3 and a half years. Overall it is a very good quality phone- well made and good looking. It's first top feature is a camera that can take amazing pics- both macro as well as long distance and panoramic shots. The picture quality and sharpness is amazing. I gave up the idea of buying a compact and has used my SE 810i. But night shots aren't that good, but that is a problem for all mobile phone cameras. Next, the sound quality of the music player is extremely good-it is clear and sharp and you can hear a lot of instruments which are playing even faintly in the background. Also, the bass sounds also come out very well. The built in speaker volume is low, but music lovers generally prefer head phones and the hpm-64 that comes with the phone is superb. Don't change it for another model.

Since I am in my early 50s I dont play games on the phone, and so I never had problems with its joystick. Battery life was initially 3 days with normal use. After 3 and a half years it has dropped to 2. It has a good browser though it stands no comparison with the ones in the new smart phones.

Overall a well designed and well made phone. I feel lucky that I bought it!!

Sony Ericsson K810i

I'm a teenager and I've had this phone for 4 years, and it's never let me down! It's very easy to use, and has simple short cuts which you can adapt, depending on what you use the most; e.g. imbox, create a message, taking a photo, images, music, contacts.

Why I like it

The camera works well, and gives clear shots in day light.It does have a flash but the only problem is sometimes in VERY dark conditions, the shot will not come out.

I personally find the keypad easy to use and not too fidderly.

Bluetooth works quickly and efficiently.

The speakers are good and clear, and the noise is projected well.

I don't play on games that often, but when I have there's been great variety.

Things not so wonderful:

The video call has never worked for me, but it might just be a fault with mine.

I've also never used the phone for internet,as the connection is too slow.

Some of my friends recon that it's quite chunky, but I like the size, and it does fit in a pocket well.

I've dropped it hopeless amounts of times, and this has never faulted it. It seems to withstand water too. So very sterdy overall!

I definitely recommend this phone as it's served me very many happy years and I am very sad to be finally saying my goodbyes but it's time for a change.

The Sony Ericsson K810i has a really good camera but is spoiled by the screen being too small.Also you can hardly see what you are reading if you access the internet.Sony Ericson have gone out of the norm and used the M2 sd card.This makes it awkward if you want to transfer files to your old phone as most phones nowadays use the ordinary mini sd card.Also after 1 year the abc jkl and tuv buttons stopped working and I had it in for repair on numerous occassions at a lot of expense and they cant seem to fix it.

It would have been good if the people I bought the phone from had shown me the screen on internet mode so I could see the screen in full use.

I bought the phone unlocked from a small mobile phone shop.

Picture quality is awesome ........Navigation key is a big problem. Overall, good to use, handy ..Sony Ericsson has the upper hand than nokia models

Love the Sony Ericsson K810i phone good quality cameraInternet can be slow at times and predictive text can't spell a lot of words.

Sony Ericsson K810i Review - Overall good phone compared to all these touch sensitive ones which delete stuff if you hover your thumb too near the wrong button.

Doesn't take too kindly to being dropped (see bad points)

People say the battery only lasts a day, I'd say two.

Has a habit of signing onto the internet even with keylock on, last time it was on for 4 hours before I found it!

Quite heavy too I guess.

This is the 5th Sony Ericsson phone i have had now and it would take a hell of a lot to get me to change to another brand. The previous one i had was the K800i but it was sometimes troublesome paring it up to bluetooth devices, i am now glad to say that this problem has been fixed with the K810i. This phone is simple to use, has a great picture quality and has crystal clear sound. The only bad thing about this phone is that i am lucky if i can get 3 days out of it between charges. I would recommend this phone to anybody as i need a phone that is simple to use and very reliable as my business depends on it.

When inside your pocket this gets opened and switches the camera on. They have stopped fitting this to the latest K850i. Great phone only negative is the sliding door over camera lenses.

I purchased this phone via O2-UK on a contract and could not be happier with it.I had always went for Sony Ericssons as I find their firmware and menu layout the best in the market, it clearly has a lot of thought put into this and all the features of the phone are very easy to find and use. Not only that but they manage to make all the GUI look good and easy to theme. I had always went with Walkman branded phones before this one but the camera was never up to much and with the recent purchase of an Apple iPod Touch 16GB I did not feel the need for a music orientated phone so went with a CyberShot branded one which gave me a 3.2 Megapixel camera with a proper flash. The quality of the pictures from this phone varies so much, one minute it gives you very nice looking pictures the next grainy mess. I believe this has a lot to do with lighting, in good lighting this phone produces good results but in low light even with the flash all your pictures will come out incredibly grainy. I had my eyes on the K800i before this came out but this phone is not only smaller but it looks much better and the circle metal buttons have made texting a joy but the joystick could be more responsive especially the click. Overall a very good phone that could have a better camera picture in low light but a firmware upgrade may sort this and since the phone can now do this over the air its easy.
