Poor Excellent

Look and Feel

The Sony Ericsson K810i is similar to the K800i. However, it is slimmer and more streamlined, with a glass-effect front fascia that looks great but can attract greasy fingerprints. Circular keys make it stand out from its illustrious predecessor.

Features

That Cyber-shot camera still leads the way, with 3.2 megapixels, auto-focus and Xenon flash, plus handy tools for improving your photos. The music player plays the usual formats, FM radio, and decent memory and Memory Stick connectivity allow for good storage. Gamers will enjoy the 3D functionality on the Sony Ericsson K810i.

Ease of Use

The Sony Ericsson K810i has an intuitive user interfacethat makes navigating its features easy and pleasurable. The circular keypad allows for speedy texting by the most ham-fisted of users.

Performance

The Sony Ericsson K810i's Cyber-shot camera doesn't disappoint, with a host of features on hand to make taking, saving, printing and uploading photos a piece of cake. Video calling, should you choose to indulge, is somewhat blurry.

Battery Life

The Sony Ericsson K810i offers a perfectly respectable 420 minutes' talktime, which means you can talk, play music snap music to your heart's content without having to recharge too often.

Sony Ericsson K810i

Pros: Apart from the great camera, the redesigned keypad and camera shortcuts make it even easier to use.
Cons: Some of you may think the K810i hasn't moved on enough to upgrade.
