unboxing – Sony Ericsson K800i

After years of gadget lust and student budgets, I finally splash out on a bit of self-lurve, techie style. The Sony Ericsson K800i is SE’s first cameraphone under the Cybershot banner, which means this phone has a bitching camera. I’m still fooling around with it, but really I just spend all my time playing tennis and checking RSS feeds on it.

Word of advice, please don’t install Sony’s PC Suite unless you want to drown in bloatware. Just install the driver for USB connection and you’re set. I tried using floAt’s Mobile Agent, which is quite a powerful app for earlier SE models. Unfortunately the K800i is too new, so I need to wait for 2.1 to come out of beta before I start using it.

Not the usual Sony Carl Zeiss lens, unfortunately.

Grace has a total boner for the purple backlight. I’m like ‘meh’

Browsing’s pretty quick, if a little cramped. Yonks ahead of my old T610.

Next up, here’re some pictures taken with the K800i.

Colour’s a bit green. Keep forgetting to white-balance.

Forgot to set for daylight.

The macro’s not toooo bad…

The autofocus is kinda slow.

Ah, maybe the Xenon flash isn’t such a good idea here.
