Has anyone got one/reccomend the phone?

I'm thinking about getting a new phone and I can get this for £22.50 a month on O2 with unlim texts and 200 mins.

Good deal or not?

Contributive input is appreciated.

I have the k800i, and it's a phone. Cybershot camera is one of the best on the market, display is nice and vibrant, and there are a whole slew of other features that I don't even use.

Downsides are:

Camera slide cap comes open easily in your pocket(this may have been fixed in the 850 model)

Battery drains somewhat fast.(2-3 days with normal usage)

keys are not very well pronounced(again, i think they fixed this with the 850 model)

Would you drain through that 200 min. fast? I myself need at least 600, and that's not including the free nights and weekends.
If the minutes are fine, i'd say get it.

The only problem I have wit hSony's (Me n Mrs both got them and few other family members) is they keep crashing and you need to do a master reset on them so make sure you back all your contacts up. her last two SE's have had to go back to the shop cos the speakers stopped playing calling or text noises.

Great for music, great for simple photo's but if Nokia have sorted there software out I would go back to them now.

I got a w910i, I cant remeber what I got her but its a proper chicks phone, small, no slider, maybe their latest phone??

Im on Dolhin 30 with Orange. 600m , unlim texts £30 a month.

k800i is a great phone with the Cyber-shot 3.2 mp camera and all the features, but the little "joystick" breaks too easily. No i can rarely go right or up.

Same, especially the camera cover.

Don't worry though I think I speak for myself an volatile when I say that given the choice I would certainly buy this phone again.

Ive got the K850i and its a pretty nice phone. Some of the problems with the K800i dont matter as the design has changed, The camera lens cover is now powered by the phone and there isnt a joystick. Ive got no problems with mine as of yet(had it since october).

Pay less, get a shittier phone, and get fewer minutes per month - smart choice!!!

I'd get it just because it's a new SE. SE kicks ass. Never had mine crash. I've got the K550i.

I sell mobile phones, and I usually recommend the K850i. Mind you, I haven't had the same experience as someone who might own one and use it everyday, but from someone is sales, I would give it the thumbs up.

I've got a k800i good phone obviously outdated now. A mate of mine had the k850i he really didn't like it he said the camera took ages to load up he got a LG viewti instead. He was a massive k800i fan too.

I have the W810i it's a damn good phone/camera/mp3 player. I have an awesome battery life with it. I left my charger at uni one week and it stayed alive for the whole time.
