Umm, just saw yours

From what I've read: don't expect the camera to be as good as the S700's. As
I got a Voda branded K700i last Nov, I'll be far more interested in its
replacement /this/ Nov.

Thank people in advance? Thanking or cursing them afterwards at least
gives some feedback!

Build quality is shocking, all of ours (4 in total) ( and every other one
I've tried) end up with creaking hinges around the silver barrel.

Camera is OK, but I expected better

Battery life again is shocking - Expect to charge it every day!

Talk time is about 2 hours at the best

HUGE LIMITATION - You can't play back music (mp3s) via a bluetooth
headset..only a wired one! - Don't know if this is the same on other
phones, but I expected to be able to do this.

Bluetooth implementation is very buggy, often losing connection and
freezing the bluetooth functionality, requiring a power down to restore.

Video calling only works if both parties are in strong 3G areas..normally
outside

Signal retention reminds me of the early One2One days. Numerous call drops

All in all very disappointed with my 6 weeks use and have arranged with
Vodafone to have the contracts cancelled cost-free (long story, but they
mucked up my account) and get a refund on the phones.

Caveat Emptor

Odd. I have the V800 specific holder (HCH-40) for the handsfree
(HCA-200) in my car.

Well, according to Sony Ericsson UK, a holder hasn't even been designed
yet!! Also a search for a HCH-40 on www.sonyericsson.com produces no
results!!

Here are two photos of a my V800 in the HCH-40 holder. The first photo
shows the V800 open, the second shows the V800 closed.
< http://www.mitt-eget.com/hch40_open.jpg >
< http://www.mitt-eget.com/hch40_closed.jpg >

Here are two photos of the packaging. The first one shows the outside of
the folded paper. The second photo shows the inside with the assembly
instructions.
< http://www.mitt-eget.com/hch40_out.jpg >
< http://www.mitt-eget.com/hch40_in.jpg >

The HCH-40 has clearly been designed, manufactured, sold and bought.
I don't know why Sony Ericsson UK doesn't know that the HCH-40 is
available.

Which just goes to show what a clueless lot Sony Ericsson UK are!!

Still doesn't explain though why there is no mention of it on
www.sonyericsson.com

What country are you in??
