@etaab
As bad as it is, it is impossible to get everything you want from one phone. Yes, QCIF is outdated and yes, SE should stop being so stingy. The only reason why SE is doing this though is probably because of the rumoured handycam/slider-swivel phone, which will probably have very good recording capabilities.

K800 looks pretty amazing however a few things:
1) It is quite heavy compared to T68/K700/K750
2) It's in need of optical zoom to compare with digital cameras
3) I don't think it looks that good

Under colours, it says it's available in Velvet Black and Allure Brown - pretty sure all the pics we have seen are in velvet black, has anyone got any pics of it in allure brown? Might look better in that colour!

@sunjivas
Here is a link to another thread with some pictures of the brown K800. Not as nice in my opinion; to be honest though, I don't really think that the phone is that nice (aesthetically speaking) anyway...

cheers for that shaliron, yeh I agree the black one looks better but as you say im not too impressed with the K800 looks! I have a feeling the brown one might look betta in the 'flesh' somehow though.

The two main drawbacks for me right now conerning the K800i is the video recording, and i wish they'd given the phone a Symbian smartphone OS like the Japanese FOMA stick.

Regarding running two Java apps at once, i get the feeling it'll cripple the phones operation, just like it does when you minimise a Java app on the K750i of any complexity whilst trying to do something else.

I agree that this phone (k800) is a brilliant phone but like etaab have said the draw back is that its not runned by Symbian OS, i know for a fact if i move from Nokia 6630 to the K800 i would miss the password keylock which i find very very useful espeacially when i 4get my phone sometimes at home , so at this time i might skip from the K800 onto the P990 but my only concern is does the P990 play WMV, Reaplayer8 just like the K800? because thats the only reason that made me consider the K800 in the first place because its a true multimedia phone and it wasnt the fact because its a cyber shot camera. So does anyone here knows if the P990 players WMV and Realplayer?

If the K800 can do 9 pics at 3.2mpix resolution in 1 sec (BestPic), then should be able to do QVGA or CIF. QCIF is purely a marketing decision. All I know is if I do go for the K800, its gonna be almost embarassing when someone asks about the Video capture, for such a well featured phone.

SE really needs to start competing with OTHER brands, rather than worry about competing with themselves all the time. The rumored Video capture swivel-slider prolly isnt even due till close to the end of the year, or next year.

The problem is as i said buying phones is a compramise.

If you want great video capture to have your friends in awe you go for a nokia n70 or n90 but you don get autofocus or optical zoom.

If you want optical zoom you go for the sharp 903

If you go for the k800 you will get a lot of stuff but minus the optical zoom and good video capture. It cant be that bad. The w800 was suitable and i dont mind if its like that at all. People are just to picky these days. I mean come on optical zoom on a camera phone. Isnt it enough hat your getting 3.2mp

Indeed, it is all a comprimise but I dont think anyone considers QVGA or CIF to be great video capture, just what you'd expect considering every other manufacturer is offering it. Sam Z710 does 3.2mpx Auto-focus with CIF video and 6233 does 2.0mpix with VGA video.

I find the W800 video capture to be useless and remember there were some complaints about the video capture back when the k750 was released, since Sam E720 did CIF back then. To have it again with its replacement is silly, especially since the screen size has increased. The big display with a lil' video capture screen in the middle looks funny to me.

Id say Optical zoom is an overkill but even though most may disagree, QVGA video is not too much to ask for.

(btw, QVGA is less than CIF)

i dont care about he video capture thatmuch. Its fine for me and to be honest id be geting so much more that not many other phones would have. To read an extensive 5 part review of this phone check out tis site.

Oh and i forgot to put this quote in aswell incase you were wondering when this is coming out. And this review confirms that such poor video was put in becasue SE indeed dos plan to release a new batch of models capable of shootin in HD.

"The sales of K800 will start in June, meanwhile K790 should go for sale in the beginning of July. The price will be around 350-400 euros depending on the country. The model will become a mass product, and it is already manufactured, so there will be no deficit when the sales will start. "
