Hey can anybody help me.i just registered today.Im interested in getting a Sony Erricsson K800i and was checking out the net for specs n stuff,it mentios that the ringtones are Polyphonic.Does this mean that you cant set a MP3 as your ringtone? if that is true then this is definetely a Dumb phone.Any replies would be appreciated.

@ Kronik101,
Firstly, welcome to the SA thread.
Secondly, the pre-installed ringtones on most modern phones like the K800i are mainly polyphonic, and thus it's stated/listed as a standard feature when looking at phone specs, but this handset certainly has the ability to use MP3's as ringtones.

I had trouble with my internet this weekend. Not slow internet, no internet for stretches of time. It was crap. But anyway...
Pity about the k800...thought it would be a good all rounder...
About poly ringtones, all it means is your phone can play limited midi files.(midi used to be like these cheesy files you could play on your pc, these days there are advanced implementations of it. I use it in music production.) Now phones can play those ancient versions of it which is not bad. It is not good, and the advanced versions is only really used in music production, needs some processing power never mind gigs of space for one instrument. Point being, midi wont really be pushed further than it is being used. And with real music, why?
So yeah, any decent phone will have mp3 or m4a file support.

Damn, K810i looks pretty vicious especially that keypad...there's something very Swedish about it. A hint of Volvo/SAAB with a dash of IKEA thrown in. People on Esato have been saying that Sony had the upperhand at
when it came to design but with this phone it's confirmed that
still has some say in the final designs of GSM phones...Compare the K810 to the Japanese phones from
and you'll notice that they seem to be light years apart...some people might like the flash and bang of the Japanese while others will appreciate the understated elegance of the Swedes.
@da krypsta: Also experienced some problems with Vodacom data service it comes and goes. On My end I also seem to lose network coverage...the bars on my phone would disappear for about one minute at any given time in the day...it's cool at night but not so cool when one is expecting a call in the middle of the day and have people bitching at me telling me that my phone had been switched off.
In the same breath I should add that I've got a love-hate relationship with Vodacom...mostly good service but when things go bad they really go bad.

LOL, brixster. That's the first time I've heard of cellphone styling having elements of the famed Swedish furniture/household superstore cues.
I get your drift, though.
Yeah, me likes the new K810i's look; wonder if they got any design cues from that very similar expensive, Vertu-type phone that was on this site late last year, which also had round buttons on the keypad. Will try find the link later; I'm off on a course now.

Thanks for the help.So do you guys think that investing in a k800i is worth it? it is a symiab based OS isnt it?
That the only reason why i want one. Vodacom is crap hey. Iw as thinking about moving to virhin maybe but im not sure how good their network coverage is.Any ideas? This pic was just me checking how the upload feature works.And it just proves that im an indian.I love cars and cellphones!!!!! LOL Oh one more query. With the k800i themes,when they are applied,do the icons change as welll? coz on this site the images only show background changes.Also is there is a difference between the K800 and K800i.Coz alota sites i checked out show only K800 and some show K800i.Any help?Thanks so much for helping me make da decision.
