Tinking of getting this phone, trading my old 6600 hehe n signing 2yrs plan. Wat is the market price for signing 2yrs plan for tis phone now?

 

Isit a good buy for tis phone?

My understanding is there are dealers selling at $680 (chinatown...dn which part) without line.....others private seller are letting go ard $700 to $750 ...all standard Package.... ... if u are resigning up new line.....they are offer less than $100 with $200 or $300 trade in phone and sign up the expensive plans....

ERm...I read somewhere that the phone dun have bass...but for me, I think the sound quality is quite alright...dun think sony will xplod the phone this much so as to pave the way for future phones... but the sound quality is acceptable, if you are not too much into the quality...although I think its alrite...maybe u can borrow a fren's k800i and have a try...

 

andy...want to change phone le ar? i think now with 2 yr plan is abt 500++...I've been using tis phone for less than a week....not much complains except tt the ringtone is pretty soft...n its size is nt exactly small...comparable to my previous 7610 except tt its smaller...but thicker due to the lens cover which is slight filmsy...overall...a good phone imho...

sad thing is ....none of my friends has this K600I ..haizxx..mostly are PDAs user... so am i ..

Maybe the next generation K800i (k810? k850?) will combine more of the W series together in the near future!

btw juz tried using the SE earphones listening to mp3s...they sound quite good! About the bass problem, there's an option that allows you to configure the equalizer to suit ur preference, although I personally feel that the default bass configuration makes it sound like my other mp3 player...anyway once you play the sound using the speakers, the quality is not really that fantastic...lack of bass I guess...but i think most people use the earphones to listen to mp3s...=)

I doubt....SE strategy is simple...a walkman phone or a camera phone...it would not launch both integrated capabilities unless its competitors are coming out of it...which i see it as either samsung or LG. .... These are ambitious company ..while nokia is on the other side on it....and motorola are zooming into classic phones...... consumers are in for spoilt of choices...

yes..no doubt....will have to compliment it with their own earphone...or u can try other earphone maker like sony or siennisher..... but since its more towards a camera phone...... for sure its audio would only be a norm.... .... maybe a comparison with a walkman phone can hear the diff...

yours is a camera phone so majority of the saved file format should be accepted....for free downloading, can go iguana...though some need to pay credit... another way is to ask your friend send to you or use bluetooth lor..

I like the last part "The only problem is the price" ....... :cheeky:

[william_liu]

That's why it's good to be patient!

Just got the phone for a week. In my opinion, it is the best phone currently available... Was looking at the Nokia N91 (like it for the feel) and the N80 (like it for the WiFi). Sadly, from what I've heard from others who own the phone, its all crap....

 

After a week of ownership, I can safely say that it is a good phone package. For those who advocate carrying a separate camera or a mp3 player, well, you can do that and be on your way....

 

For the rest of us, it is just nice to have an integrated device that does all these functions alright, but not as good as its individual counterparts.

 

The phone plays Video, can play video of your friends when they call, take good pics, can play mp3 etc.... so it kinda does well, for such a small device....

 

Three cheers for SE......

The firmware of the K800i can be upgraded either over the air by selecting Settings / Update Service / Search for update

Anyone knows if the K800i has a earphone jack to accept normal earphones like the W series phones?

[Lass]

saw e specs, look damn good but price still kinda steep at 700plus. am sick of my samsung p300 cos battery life is so short and ring tone so soft!

 

i know that this phone comes w 3G as well and i hope tat e functions r not slow. is e software buggy like the nokia one? advises?

 

the brown version of the phone is coming out soon but i think i will stick to the black one cos no pt paying just for the color hehe

Try to go those neighbourhood handphone shops to buy the convertor for the 3.5mm earphone jacks. I used it for my K750i and its pretty good. Hook its up to my portable speakers and sounds pretty good and great for travelling. Cost $10 for the convertor.
