Hi all,
I've seen a few posts about how hard opening the cover is. I guess it really depends on the phone since other people don't have it at all, but mine was almost impossible to open, had to use a knife the first time. I blame SE for that
Using a rubber is much easier though, it gives you a much better purchase on the cover and it doesn't do any damage, unlike a knife, can opener and so on.
Hope it helps the new lucky K800 owners!

the cover is specifically designed NOT to be opened by the end user.
Service technicians have specific instructions how to open the casing easily and without chance of damage. Those of usnot offical SE "service technicians", who want to open our phones, just have to work it out as best we can
Personally I find SE phones one of the easier brands to crack open without breaking them into little bits.

Are you sure about this? Given that the phone is sold with the cover on but the battery not already plugged in, that you have to unplug the battery when you update the firmware, it means that you would have to look for a technician at least two times when you buy a phone... that doesn't sound very convenient. But yeah, you usually don't open the cover every day
I never had any problem opening Nokia phones before.

Sorry dude, I thought you meant the whole casing! Yes I see what you are saying now. SE battery covers are harder than Nokia it's true, but personally it doesn't worry me since I don't have to open it that often. It's a bugger if you change sim a lot or the phone crashes a lot (if it does that it should go to service centre or get firmware update!)
To me it's only a small thing on an otherwise excellent phone.

I simply MUST reply to hillarious thread about megapixels.
Megapixels are related to the CCD chip that accepts the light, passed trough the lense. The light dropps on the area that is covered with photo-sensitive dots, or sensors, here called pixels. So, 1MP is the area of 1 squared inch, covered with 1 million micro-sensors.
K800i has the light-sensitive area with the density of 3,2 million sensors per square inch.
K700i has 0,3 million sensors, or, approx 10 times less.
Now, according to this, K700i can produce the image 640x480 pixels. Everything else is an interpolation and has no real quality, that is, the image with higher DPI created with K700i is simple still real 640x480, only "upsampled - enlarged" to 1024x768, thus only more blur or noise.
On the other, DPI, or dots per inch (also squared) is the measure of number of colored dots on the square inch of the picture. The dimensions of picture size and the number of DPI is not the same thing. Stating that DPI and MP are the same is SO WRONG.
So, when you select "VGA" resolution, that is ONLY 72DPI, 800x600.
VGA means the resolution of your PC computer screen, initially 72, and goes up to 90.
To make long story short, the REAL quality is actually in the LENSE.
You can have 10MP photo sensitive area, but if you get a shitty light beam trough the lense, you get shitty images. And vice versa. I've seen images created by the 6.4MP camera that are shit compared to 2.1MP images created by SONY digital camera, with Karl Zeiss lense...
Cheers... Phones are phones, leave the masters create cameras.
But, I'm damn impressed with the one in my K800i.

I think I have to correct you here, it's not 72 dots per square inch, it's dots per inch on a line of dots, otherwise, the resolution would only be somewhat more than 8 x 8 pixels on a square inch, ie pixels of about 3x3mm size. A normal CRT screen or TV set is usually 72 or 75 DPI, and you will need a magnifying glass in order to be able to see individual pixels.
Otherwise, you are correct, but megapixels is not the only factor that makes better pictures. The optical system, i.e. lenses, focus mecanism, etc is of about the same importance, but the most important factor is the one behind the camera

Hm, the diagonal of an monitor is 17'', but the visible size is 15"
Meaning vertical of 6.4 and horizontal 8.56 inch
approx 54.7 squared inch
at 800*600 it has 480000 dots
so one inch squared has 8761 dots
or at that resolution, when you do the square root
approx 93dpi
Whatever...
Peace

you cannot record more than 176*144 with a k800. you can only play videos at 320*240. for that you need to copy a video from pc
