I plugged the charger in and it went 'pop' which i presume is the fuse - no smoke or fire thank goodness. I was pretty cross, considering i'd just taken it out of the box - thankfully i managed to charge the phone with my old k750 charger.

I'm soo confused and dont know what to do..
I was in carphonewarehouse today and tried getting a little feel for the k800i, perhaps having a play with it... so i blagged them my brother is going to get me any phone of my choice and would like to see the k800i in person before purchase.
I went in there with the usual expectation, contract = expensive, sim free = expensive or not available and although somone has a .jpg file of a brochure spotting o2 for £250.00 payugo i didnt expect that neither.
Nevertheless i was in there playing with the phone, chattin the usual bullshit. This guy new what he was on about to an extent and i asked him about a contract.
He offered me o2 250 £35.00 18th month contract and the k800i free. No surprices there, an expensive contract.
So i asked him about it sim free and as i had been to other shops and they had turned me down, i dropped in how i'd seen it in a brochure going for £250.00 o2 paysugo.
This time too my surprice he stood in front and said '£240.00 simfree'.
My face dropped and was stunned. He then said, wait no its actually £239.95'
From there i began to speak to him, i asked him to check wherever he was gettin his data from, almost 3 times. It's official the k800i in this carphonewarehouse is going for £239.95. He was ready to sell it me today but unfortuntly i hadn't brought that much cash with me. Hopefully tommorw i shall have it.
k800i goes for £239.95 yet the w810i has the price of £279.99... as i say to an extent he knows what hes talking about as he said its proberly becasue its walkman it costs more.
Im hoping to buy the k800i from this fella and hope i pick up a bargain, as you never know, come 2 weeks down the line they may have realised theres a mistake somewhere down there. If not ill buy as many as i can and sell them on ebay.
...Many may be thinking he can't be true, as its also the same position im in right now, he might have been looking at the wrong handset but i have nothing too loose, and it will be by far the best deal anyone has come across so far.

oh yeah, thats for sure. I thought you were being very pessimistic about the number of problems the K800 would have
Since the K800 is a derivative of the K750 (and to some extent the K700) I have high hopes for the K800 being pretty stable
let's hope so the proto k790 i had was not that great in terms of stability.. random lockups, random crashes
Most prototypes have defects. the idea of the prottypes is so that they can try the software/ hardware so they can iron out the bugs.

I upgraded my phone with o2 today
£219 they wanted for it.
Gets delivered tomorrow
Sold my 4gb pro duo memory card for £90 on ebay, sold my w800i for £120 to friend in work
Excellent#
what i most want the k800 i for is the steaming of music via bluetooth. I have a pioneer 9800 head unit in my car which supports bluetooth phones and steaming of music via a2dp profile.
Cant wait to test it out.
So, o2 have them in stock, ready to order. £219 to existing contract holders. Only reason i couldnt upgrade for free was because i upgraded to the w800i a month or so back for free

I have the K800i and it's awesome! I always change my Sony Ericsson when i new one is released. Had this handset for a couple of weeks now. Bought sim free for £399 the picture quality is brilliant.
Only one thing i don't like is the keyboard light colour. Bit dull, not very bright.
I have pretty much 1 of each of the Sony Ericsson range. W810i and W900i are also in use, but the K800i is something else. Looks like the old T series range a bit don't you think???

Having read the posts below stating that you can obtain a K800i sim free for £240-£250 i'll have half a dozen!
Cheapest they are today (4/7/06) is £349. Mine was £50 more due to the fact that it wasn't released yet.
Cpw are full of it. My brother owns a phone shop and can't get them for that price.
I buy/sell alot on EBay (user id 303111) 100% feedback never had a problem. (Only with paypal) There going for £250+ on there but the majority of them are low rated users and phone doesn't exist.
I have seen some actually sell for £330+ though.
A handset is worth what it is worth to you as people say to me why always buy sim free before release dates? I always do though.
Bit of an SE freak! Used to be Nokia many moons ago but sick of freezing handsets/loosing data.
I always buy a 1GB memory card with any new SE handset i buy.

@DentyCracker
you are right, we dont yet have 3G here...
how often is the videocall feature used in the areas with 3G anyway?

For anyone who followed my story earlier:
Phoned o2 (again) and they have told me that my k800 got delivered to Yorkshire!! I don't even know anyone there! They said DHL should pick it up tomorrow and deliver it back to me. Now, am i right in thinking that if someone gave you a parcel and it was a shiney new phone, you'd open the box and use it?? I don't want no dodgey 2nd hand reject!!
