Haha I'm still uncertain about purchasing this phone. Argh.
It's better than the K750 in every way save for size. Despite all the bugs people are posting here, it's less buggy than the K750 in every-day usage, and this is on the very first firmware!

yeah, i just got my K800 this morning.
and it's been perfect so far.
not a single problem yet.
however my battery life is just okay...
it's already down to 25% right now.
so.. i'm going to be recharging it again tonight.
how is everyone else's battery life?

My battery life is excellent - Had it on for three days and only just hit 40%. People tend to forget that with the new batteries it takes a few good charges to really "stretch" the batteries & until that point the life can be a little disappointing. I find it's best to charge the phone, use it til it dies and repeat. After three or four complete charges/discharges the battery seems to last for an eternity.
IMHO the K800i is the most stable, feature packed, well thought out phone i've ever had. Bring on the new firmware for all those improvements we haven't even thought of yet (as well as the picture quality tweaks)...

alright then.
i guess i'll have to use it a few more days to make my battery perform!
haha, but i'll probably have to recharge it like every night for the next few nights.. because if the day ends and it's at 25%... it'll die in the middle of the next day, and i'll need my phone for the day. so... oh well.
i still can't put this phone down. i love it.
[edit]
one more thing.. on my media player... some song titles get cut off... and for the ones that don't... they don't scroll...
i would think that the title/artist would scroll across the screen so the whole thing could be read.. but for some reason mine doesn't scroll.
and also instead of PlayNow in the main menu, i have like.. a little paper thing with the sony ericsson logo, then once i set up my internet settings, the title of it changed to T-Zones. oh well...

I have to say I am rather suprised you have had more problems with the K800 than your previous phones. As you probably realise I have carefully monitored the firmware of all recent SE phones (having maintained the Firmware Overview pages here at Esato for the last 3 years or so) and in my experience the K800 has the most bug free initial firmware.
What problems are you experiencing with your phone?
Issues that I have with K800
- Battery charging after empty for complete... I have to charge before all the battery goes empty
- Some freezes when open the camera lens
- Some freezes when surfing the web
- Some freezes in the menu
- Sometimes the keys doesn't react to our press because I use the normal tap method, not t9
- The sound of the keys dissapear misteriously... only returns after an restart...
For now these was the bugs that I remeber right now.
With k700 with 1st firmware wit the same use that I give to this I had never bugs and K750i alsdo not... then, with the next firmware of K700 I remeber that the screen gets some kind of error when displaying the screen protector clocsk when we received a call... then K750i has that firmware that corrupts the memory stick... soWhat now the next firmware of K800? I guess that will correct some bugs now, but give us another bugs?
The most dissapoiting bug right now is the charing one... the screen just stay white during so many time, then I have to press all nbuttos, retire the battery, put it again, etc etc... is very dissapointing!
Also the keys sound dissapearing... i allways loved this click sound of SE and now i can't hear....
I hope SE release a new firmware bug free soon!
Apart that, K800 is a very very good phone!

@phantom
I don't have the PlayNow option either. I think this is a customisation by the service provider. In my case thats o2, in yours t-mobile by the sounds of it.
Not a lot you can do about it except having the generic software applied by firmware "upgrade"

Had mine since 6th July and no real issues, only 1 is battery lasts for 2 days before recharge. My K750i lasted for 5 days.
Other than that it's an awesome phone

K750 had a smaller display and didn't use 3G, thats why it lasted longer!
