Real flash
Dark nights and poor light indoors will not stop you from taking memorable photos with the K790a Cyber-shot™ camera. K790a comes with a real flash.

Zoom and autofocus
There's more to help you take just the pictures you want. Get close with the 16x digital zoom and stay sharp with autofocus.
Get rid of blur
Avoid blurry stills. Activate the image stabilizer function to get sharper still pictures. When you're recording video, use the video stabilizer to compensate for those small hand vibrations.

| | Tech Reviews |  | Sony Ericsson K800i 3G Camera Phone Review chromewalker Published on: 12/11/2006 11:33 AM | |
The following video review is of the Sony Ericsson K800i, the current king of the camera phones.
The K800i is the 3G version of the USA K790a. It is designed for use mostly in Europe, and because it doesn’t have EDGE, I don’t suggest it for use in the Americas when the K790a is pretty much the same thing....read the full review |

5 of 5 Best phone I've ever owned! Friday, September 14, 2007 Adolfovc from Lodi, CA
I'm not the kind of guy that needs to have the latest and greatest, but I'm a practical guy who always researches a major purchase to death. I purchased this phone almost a year ago, and can tell you that if something were to happen to my phone, I would replace it with the exact same model. I love this thing. I love taking photographs, but hate having to lug a camera around, and most cell phone's cameras leave much to be desired, but with this phone you have THE BEST of all worlds! It's performance is amazing, from placing calls, to its compatability with ALL my Bluetooth devices, to its handling of amazing software downloads offered by SE, Google, etc.
It's a tough little fellow too! I have dropped it, kicked it, and it's flown out of my car (don't ask) and it's still ticking!
I can go on and on, but I won't. If this phone is good enough for James Bond (In Casino Royale) it's good enough for me. Was this review helpful?
3 of 3 customers found this review helpful. 5 of 5 I love this phone! Tuesday, November 14, 2006 Kent from Los Angeles, CA
I love this phone! It's so much fun and so useful. It's beautiful. Calls are clear and people I'm talking to say they hear me well, too. The Bluetooth connectivity is wonderful for moving files in both directions, either loading the phone up with music or uploading photos taken onto my computer.
-----
For those considering this phone, here are some minor (for me) issues: The keys are small and it took a couple of days to get used to it (but I did quite easily). The phone is somewhat heavier and bulkier than other less capable phones on the market these days, but it's not bad and its shape makes it easy to slip into a pocket. The camera cover seems to fall open of its own accord quite easily. The photos it takes are really quite decent, but taking a picture (presumably the autofocus) is unusually slow – you won't be taking pictures of fast-moving sporting events. And I wish the camera had optical zoom (rather than just digital zoom). The phone requires Sony's new M2 (Memory Stick Micro) form factor, which is quite expensive and currently tops out at 1GB (though larger capacities are said to be coming). The included stereo headset doubles as an antenna for the built-in FM radio function, which is great unless you switch to a Bluetooth headset (and then can't listen to the radio). I'd like to use voice commands to dial, etc., but it appears (have yet to confirm) that one has to record commands for each item/person – that would render it impractical. The web browser, once you figure it out, is actually quite intelligent; the text is breathtakingly small (4 point type?) but amazingly crisp and clear – still, you may need your reading glasses.
-----
Finally, I’ve been very pleased with SonyEricsson's stereo Bluetooth headset (HBH-DS970), though it does occasionally skip if the phone moves around too much (like while walking or jogging). I WASN'T happy with SE’s (non-stereo) Bluetooth headset(HBH-IV835), which was static-filled even at close range.
-----
Bottom line: I love this phone! Is worth every penny. Was this review helpful?
1 of 1 customers found this review helpful. 4 of 5 Great Phone Tuesday, November 14, 2006 Ron from New Jersey
So far this is the best non-smartphone I have owned to date. I had phones ranging from Motorola, Nokia, Samsung, and other Sony Ericsson's, but this phone by far is the best. The user-friendly UI make it easy to navigate the phone. The phone also boasts a 3.2 mp camera which is one of the best found in a phone. It also includes a xenon flash as opposed to LED flashes found on other phones. My only complaint about this phone is the slightly sluggish input response of the phone when navigating through the menu and such. Otherwise this is a great phone provided with quick delivery by buy.com. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 customers found this review helpful. 5 of 5 Awsome phone and great service Wednesday, November 08, 2006 Eugene from Marathon, WI
I must have read 50 or more reviews before buying this phone. Some said it looked like it was made out of cheap plastic and that is far from the truth. The plastic has a brushed look and looks fantastic. The phone itself gets a great signal in fact I am now keeping calls I used to drop in certain areas. The camera is nothing less than awesome; I really don’t feel a need to have another camera. It is also a very simple phone to use; you can access your music and play it with the touch of one button. I could go on and on about this phone or camera, but I am going to sum it up and give it 5 out of 5.
Buy.com also has really quick shipping I ordered standard shipping at 2:00 pm on Monday and it was to my door by 10:00 Tuesday morning that totally blew me away!

2 of 3 customers found this review helpful. 3 of 5 Great Camera, Ok phone Tuesday, November 07, 2006 A Customer from Lawrence, KS
The camera is unparrelled in quality and features. The camera functions are easy to figure out and the settings easy to change. One ridiculous problem with the camera is the lens cover, which is easy to innadvertently move to the open position. Keeping the phone in your pocket or a bag will often open the lens cover. Some of the buttons at the top of the phone are laughably too close to each other and too small. The sync function does NOT work well at all. I sync with outlook 2003 and there are so many schedule sync problems its basically worthless as a calander and scheduler. The tasks sync fine but the overall PIM function of the phone is poor.

Best phone that I've ever had. Gorgeous screen, easy to use and load MP3 files and pictures from the PC. 3.2 Megapix camera takes great photos. Web browser is good. Speakers are good esp. for such a small camera. This phone has everything and does everything well.
Buy.com got it to me in 3 days too-great job! Was this review helpful?
