The Sony Ericsson K800i mobile phone redefines the way we think about camera phones.
To start with, it's branded "Cyber-shot" - the same name that graces
Sony's digital camera range. It also shares many of its menu features with Sony
cameras, along with a powerful xenon flash for night-time photography and an image
stabiliser to reduce camera shake when you're taking pictures or recording videos.
Slide open the lens cover and the camera activates automatically. Now press
the camera key and you'll barely believe what happens next. The 3.2 megapixel
lens will take a total of nine photos: one at the exact time you press the key,
four immediately afterwards and - get this! - four immediately BEFORE the camera
key was pressed. Simply pick your favourites and delete the others.
But the Sony Ericsson K800i isn't just a remarkable camera. It's a 3G handset,
offering video calling, web browsing, email and RSS internet news feeds. It's
a music player as well, with an expandable memory if you need extra storage
space for your favourite tunes. In addition you'll discover 3D games, an FM
radio and a range of organiser features, plus Bluetooth and infrared connectivity.
Leave your digital camera at home and take the Sony Ericsson K800i instead!
