Well Gang ...
As far as the whole mem. issue goes it won't be supporting the old cards either via the adaptor as that is for your PC and not for the fone.
Internal mem. of the K800i is 84mb along with a supplied M2 card which will either be of 64/512mb.
The reason to switch over to the new M2 cards was for added space in the fone as with newer models space is required for newer stuff to be added as well, so you have to shrink whatever you can to accomodate it so you get a sleek little baby in the end or you could go for a brick inline with Nokia's pathetic design's.
"Step out of the crowd with a Sony, Be a loser with the crowd with any other."
This was inline as next yr SE would be releasing there 5Mpx camera fone which naturally would be requiring more space along with 3X optical zoom and digital zoom.
And to note that SE's smartphones will be having video rec. of QVGA or VGA at 30Fps as they have kept proper video rec. for the smartphones now as well. So all high end phones basically. The mid high end phones might have it later on. So if you want DVD quality rec. get an SE smartphone... !!!
As well 26th June is the release date for the K800i globally. Check with your operators then as to when they will start giving it to you as they usually are pathetically slow.
So like ladies, ... you gotta think ahead to the future and not be embodied in the present and past.
Cheers Mates ... !!!

Dont know if anyone else has seen a k790 in real life, but my friend who works for SE had one over this weekend.
The camera is even better than i expected. Really vivid colours and the quality is supurb!
The screen is the best ive ever seen on a phone too. Could have helped make the pictures look as good as they did.
Even the flash is as good on a proper camera.
I didnt really play with much else, but the menus look good too. Again, probably down to the screen!
Think he has to give it back so i wont get a chance for a proper play just yet. But its looking good...

@ micks2005 - But what if i dont want to wait until September ? ive had my K750i well over a year now and im about due a new phone. Why should i have to wait until September for a phone to be announced, and then a further month or three before its even released ?
Ive already said many times in this thread why i think SE havent increased video resolution. The first guess would be they're using old hardware that they've used since the K700i. I first suspected this when i got my K750i a year ago, it wasnt noticably faster for such a new phone. Id bet money that SE simply rereleased the K700i as the K750i but simply gave it a better camera, new interface and a little more memory to cope with the 2mp camera. I reckon the same might be said for the K800i, same old hardware trying to cope with new features, and something has to give.
The other guess i came up with was that SE simply think the majority of consumers are uneducated, and would not notice the difference between QVGA and QCIF video recording resolutions on the phones screen. They wont update it because they probably think they can get away with it, and they will except for where it concerns the educated buyer.
When you say right now, no other phone offers what the K800i does, are you joking ? what exactly does the K800i offer than no other phone does not ? i cannot think of one aspect about the phone that hasnt been done before. Even the N93 beats the K800i's camera in many cases from specimen pictures ive seen from both.

or they cant give enough funds for their R & D?

Think of this: QCIF is the normal standard for video phoning.

In 1994 4MB RAM was the standard for running Windows 3.1. Does that mean we should cope with it? If majority of the competition is offering higher res video, SE has at the very least ot step up to the plate and match them (if not beat them). ALL Major manufacturers have moved to CIF video for their higher end phones (and let's not full ourselves - the K800/790 IS a higher end phone, that's why there's the K510 and K310 lines which are the LOWER end phones.)

STOP COMPARING TO THE BRICK OF A PHONE N93! It's just not fair considering the size of that thing. The K800i DO offer things that's not been seen before, Best Pic, 3.2 MP camera, UMTS in a small(er) form factor than seen before.
There's a silly amount of complaining here, the K800i will be a great phone, remember it will be sold quite cheap and still pack a lot of the latest feats/technologies available today, and that in a small and stylish shell. If you think the N93 or any other phone's worth lugging around for better video or whatever, then buy it.
