Having gone from a K750 (running W800i) firmware to a K800.

I have to say, at first I was disappointed.

The K800 at first appeared to be way too big and chunky.

However, a week further down the line, its crystal clear that the build quality of the K800 is far far far superior than that of the K750.

The buttons are more 'come and push me' rather than the flimsy plastic buttons of the K750. I refused down right to text from the handset on the K750 because the buttons were a bit fidgity.

However the K800 buttons seem to be lightly rubber coated making texting a breeze, heck I even make use of the free MSN three include.

The software is practically identical to the K750. With the additional features of a naturally progressing mobile. 3.2mpx camera, web browser etc.. and other small tweaks. Bigger screen & resolution. Better flash capabilities.

In all, im well impressed with it. Its clear SE have had a kick up the backside, from where I'm not sure, but there phones always used to be 'stylish' but crap. A bit like motorola are in a way now.

However, Im a true SE convert (from Nokia). I used to be Nokia through and through, vowing never to own another Ericsson after the abismal T20.

The K750 captured my heart as you could mod the %$($ out of it. The K800 was/is a necessary upgrade for any SE/K750 fan.

The only niggles that remain are:

- Bluetooth on stock firmware is buggy (new Firmware is available from third parties, but not SEUS yet)
- Cant unlock them very easily yet.
- Unbranding kills the phones Certificates (for now)
- No torch, due to Xenon buld

It just needs time
