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.

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!!

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