I’ve been using this phone for more than a year with no problems at all. My sister’s got one as well, and she is very pleased with it. Using a 2 GB ProDuo card makes the Sony-Ericsson z800i Mp3 player really smooth: The stereo headset is neat!

 

I bought the z800i two years ago, heaps of features in it, however issues i have been having with this phone and the 3G network which I’m on, are:
- 3G services are not too good (as so I have heard), but they did helped me regarding issues I had…so I am kind of on the fence on this one…
- sometimes you try to sms and erase a character there is a glitch and it ends up erasing everything as if someone touched the C button and not letting it go - Now, I can’t close it, if I do, I loose signal/reception (it is said to be one of the common problems with this mobile) and when that happens no calls or sms can be received (even when the signal is back on again (that sms dissapeared into thin air)
- not very comfortable with sms buttons..a little hard

 

Great sides of it:
- not a bad cam, but night time/low light does not really perform well, has light on cam but very blinding
- great features
- great style and looks but the silver can be easily scratched (needs protection)
- lovin the extra memory available on the phone

I really-really liked this phone and recommend it but in the long run I dont think this phone is good…I am now in the market to find another phone and I am going over seas and this phone is not suitable for it…

I’ve had this phone for approximately a year and I have to say it is impractical, bulky and doesn’t live up to its specifications. The screen is large but hard to see in sunlight and the top and bottom of the screen isn’t used so the large size is useless. The fascia gets simply covered in fingerprints much too easy and always looks dirty and smudgy.

The camera is okay in quality but it low light a lot of blue blurry spots appear and general rubbish pictures in these lighted situations. tHe software provided is useless and in no way user friendly. The speaker faces AWAY from you so it is difficult to hear playback of video recording et cetera. All in all I think I should have gone for a different model of mobile phone.

The z800i that I own

Good features
1)excellent pictures
2)cool torch botton design
3)video call-good pic and sound is very clear
4)very easy to use
Poor
1) Constantly recharge the battery is just awful(solution: keep 2nd spare fully charged battery always)

Got this phone Z800i about 8 months ago, everything works fine for me, no signal dropping problems, 3G works fine, camera, media player… everything’s fine. actually i bought this phone is because of its design, feature comes on the second place. soon after i get my hands on the phone, I realise that the features are great, too. but still, a few lil problems, like battery gets “heat up” when use it for too long, the picture quality is abit low, even if compare to Motorola’s VGA camera… overall, its enjoyable owning this phone, as Nokia’s too common here in Malaysia.

This phone sucks kind of. If i talk more than 20min on video call the battery gets hot , discharges . You can’t even zoom the pictures in gallery . The headset is bad because when i turn the player on mode bass the headphones create an annoying noise. By time the clamshell effect gets worse an worse .The camera really suck . The quality is bad even if it’s 1.3mp . I’m disappointed by this phone . Gonna buy the new N73 … hope it’s going to be better than Z800i.

Going out to prospecting z800 owners/experts;
Have just received got this phone as a gift. i really love this phone (great looking thing) but i’m having a hard time with my the Sony-Ericsson z800i internet access/web browser to download ringtones/games and all. i can’t even recieve pix from any of my contacts when they send it. i’ve called the 800 tech support for my mobile carrier, to my disappointment they don’t even know the model phone i’m talking about.

z800i Reception Issue: I’ve had this Z800i for 6 months now. Design and function is great, but started running into a problem with reception. I noticed my phone was not flashing, and it said “No Network.” It was in an area where there is fairly good reception. When I opened the flip, the light flashing came back, and the network indicator had 4 bars.
