I`m an ex w800/k750 user and I can say there is a huge difference between w800/k750 and k800-especially if you use hpm70-.I`m very disappointed about k800`s sound.I want a good mutimedia phone(music AND pictures).I know that k800 is not W but k750 is a K series and has much better sound than k800(also has megabass).Why Se didn`t upgraded just the camera and let intact that great sound fromk750???
I hope SE will come with solutions to increase k800`s output level.I made a test using k750,w800,w810 with same melody and same earpiece(hpm-70) and I must say that k800 is by far the worst(is very very slow)
I 100% agree with "k790/k800 sound quality SUCKS.Sennheiser cx 300 are much better than hpm-70.

I have a K800i with HPM-70 and equalizer on:
1st: 16
2nd: 1
3rd: 2
4th: 10
5th: 16
And rock music
it's perfect
ow and Stereo widening it really makes a difference.

@dcuk:
thanks for the picture - that should clarify things for those who do not know how to use an equalizer.
I have to agree that a Sennheiser headset sounds much better than the HBP70 - its also louder. Maybe the '70 just doesn't fit to the K800? With the K610 it's ok.

Why isn't the equalizer available in the FM radio ?

I just got myself the bronze LE K800i and I must say that I am missing my W800i. The only reason I changed to K800i is because I wanted to have the camera and my music in one device. I got what I want, I guess but with big compromises.
I must be fair and say that the fone is in its overall performance is pretty good, but it is no walkman fone. You didn't know how much you miss it until it's gone. Here are my comparisons: -
1. Sound Quality - the W800i is of course superior but you can still get pretty decent sound with a good pair of earphones and fiddling with the equalizer manually. The songs on speaker is crap though - can't understand why they didn't improve this. I had a few miss calls because I can't hear the fone ringing even on highest volume.
2. Walkman interface - I do miss the screen display on the music info (song name, artist, album). I don't understand why the K800i couldn't have this interface as well.
3. Storage media - why did they change from MSPD to M2? Seriously? Now, after investing on the fone, I have to pay extra for the memory card as well. And how do I transfer 2GB of songs into 1GB which is the max space for an M2? Sony should rethink their position on this because now I have different medias for its different devices - its becoming a hassle.
4. Camera - of course K800i is far superior. I love the panoramic setting coz now I can take group pictures. There are a number of useful settings that will appease most generic users. I also like the blog upload feature. My complaints - no flash override, the image stabilizer setting is only available for Twillight Landscape and Landscape scenes - can't they just make it available to all scenes (if needed) and with BestPic(tm), you can't zoom wtf!!!? I don't know if its just me but I feel the macro close-up works better with W800i - can anyone verify this?
5. Video - both K800i and W800i is crappy. Don't bother.
6. K800i is a 3G fone - I like this as I can video call my hubby
And of course, my service provider has streaming content and surfing the web is faster. Also I can download Opera Browser - so that's cool.
7. Looks - The bronze K800i is a looker, sleek and stylish - but it is very feminine. The W800i looked more clumsy and bulky but will appeal to most people especially the younger set (read: cool and unsophisticated).
8. Misc functions - I can't remember using this feature but now I realised that I do use it a lot - it is the torchlight feature on my W800i. They don't have it on my K800 and I'm wondering why? Is it because of the Xenon flash? The torchlight is so useful - to find your seat in the cinema, at a concert during a ballad, to find your keys in your bottomless bag, to check tickets/coupons at the club...*sigh*
My conclusion is - if you want an overall fone that can take pictures and listen to music on your 1/2 ride to work - then the K800i will please you. But if you are a hardcore music freak then, you should stick to the W series.

Sadly, my earphones jack got jammed (one pin went all the way down since I first tried to plug them) so I can't hear the how the darn thing sounds...
I see here that the sound on K750 is better than K800.
How about the difference between K700 and K800? I owned K700, you see, and the sound is rather good on it's earphones. Can K700 earphones be plugged onto K800?

You would need an adaptor between
's previoius connector type that K700 uses and the fastport connector that is used on the K800i. I don't think there exists any adaptors like that. Anyway, I truly believe that you would be fully satisfied with a pair of HPM-70:s.

For those of you who's been using the K800i for a year or more:
Do you guys find any problem with the joystick of the K800i (e.g. not responding), just like what happens to any other models that uses a joystick?
