How does this work then? as every PC i have plugged my k800i in to has asked for drivers?

Just refuse them all. It did that when I plugged mine in to two different machines, and I just said no to each of them. I assume it then just uses the normal XP memory stick driver. Only thing which might be confusing issues is that I still have the K750 drivers installed, but I am sure that's not it.

Tom is correct - you don't need to install these drivers if you only want to access the files on the phone. The drivers are required to access the phone's functionality, not the filing system.
In terms of the texting issue that a few of us are having, I have to admit that I am a little confused.
I personally have experienced far more SMS typing errors than I would deem to be normal - most notably the phone intermittantly not recognising one of the keypresses I have made. However, I have done a few tests and it seems that the phone can keep up with pretty much any typing speed - at least most of the time.
It seems to me either the fact that I (and others) have simply not got used to the phone's keypad yet, there is some hardware issue with our keypads or that the phone itself is not reading the keypresses.
If the latter is the case then I guess it might be down to the multitasking OS and the occasional UI 'freezes' that are experienced with the phone. The keyboard, I would assume, will have some sort of buffer independant of the OS. If this gets full before the OS can read it's contents then this would result in lost characters.
Note that all the above is just pure speculation - I don't know the details of how the hardware or software is designed in the K800!

This is intentional. The phone provides a low resolution, quickly rendered thumbnail of the picture so the user can quickly flip netween images without having to wait for a full resolution image to be rendered.
While the user is looking at the low resolution image, a high resulution image is rendered in the background and displayed in place of the low-res image as soon as it has been decoded.
This is another excellent feature of the K800. Compare the speed of flipping through the gallery of a K750 with that of a K800 and you will see what I mean - the lag is minimal.

thanks to tomchadwin and mwarner for clearing up the issue in relation for using the k800 without drivers
Now, if only i could get opera mini to work correctly i would be 100% content. This is though, as you say, an excellent first firmware release and i am very happy with my phone

Opera Mini works great for me, usually much better than the built in browser.
http://mini.opera.com/ from computer or phone. Advanced version works fine.

Not true. When you capture a photo, the phone save the image as a JPEG file and this file consist of a large image and an internal 160 x 120 thumnail image. One JPEG file is acctualy two images. The small 160 x 120 image is not large enough to fill the K800 display and therefore looks blury while it renders the large image.

unfortunately, it doesn't entirely work here. I've installed the latest version of opera mini on my SE k800i, however, i've come across a strange problem. If you google for a site from the homepage when you start opera mini you can't select yes or no for the application to access the internet, you get asked the question but the yes/no options aren't there so you have to go to a bookmarked page first as the yes/no option shows up fine for that.
Any suggestions?
