Sony Ericsson K810i

Short description:

Those who have dealt with the Sony Ericsson K800i are no longer surprised by the new K810i. But such a task, it seems, was not set. The new phone is less, but no less than a great design addition to an already acclaimed phone.

Only little things have been added, mainly peculiar "clarifying" details in the design. The phone is not just thinner and smaller than its predecessor - in which model, for example, you can see such stylish `metal-like` keys, which makes the phone so much like an intercom control panel? At the same time, it looks quite expensive, and fits very well in the hand.

Specifications:

• The K810i case is made in a `brick` form factor that is quite common at all times. The case is made of plastic, in two versions - dark, according to some estimates black, according to others - purple and, additionally, in the form of a solution with a silver finish. It is difficult to decide which option is better - both will surely find their buyers.
• Like many modern phones, the K810i is made to grow. Both classic GSM 900/1800/1900 standards and advanced UMTS are supported. It is customary to call him the so-called. 3g.
• The display used is the display of the phone itself, and not the super video media gadget. Diagonal 2", resolution 240x320, 256K colours - quite enough for the owner with the usual colour perception and quite economically. You don't have to pay an extra hundred dollars for an extra, in general, an option of 16+ million shades.
• The volume of permanent memory - 64 MB. Note that all basic software applications are installed in the same volume, many of which simply cannot be removed. On the leftovers, you can, if desired, store several songs in MP3 or a couple of not very large videos. If you absolutely need to expand the memory, the phone has a Memory Stick Micro (M2) slot. A 128 MB card of this type is supplied even in the basic configuration.

Camera:

• In fact, there are two cameras in the phone, as in all 3G devices. One serves for a possible video telephone conversation in 3G networks, the other - the camera itself built into the phone.
• The resolution of the matrix of the `main` camera is 3.2 megapixels. It is important that in comparison with the K800i the camera is located on the rear panel of the phone more compactly, there are practically no protruding parts above the body.
• A standard xenon flash is responsible for ensuring adequate image quality, and digital zoom is also supported, which, as you know, is better not to use. Additionally, the camera is equipped with special software that allows you to edit the captured images - remove the "red-eye effect", change the brightness, contrast, etc.

Media:

• Sony Ericsson K810i is characterized by separation of music and video player functions. One can argue whether this is convenient or not, but the phone menu has its own button for the video player. The MP3 player is capable of playing a standard set of formats - MP3, AAC, etc.
• The video player can play both MPEG-4 (MP4) and 3GP files. In addition, there is a VideoDJ editor that allows for simple `tuning` of recordings.
• As in most phones of this class, there is a built-in FM-tuner, RDS reception is also possible. Up to 20 radio stations can be stored in the tuner's memory.
• The K810i Voice Recorder can be used for a variety of purposes. It is able to record not only valuable considerations arising from the owner, but also easily record a telephone conversation.
• While the phone cannot read MS Office files, PDFs, etc., it can be used to store and transport information in a wide variety of formats.

Network:

Unfortunately, apart from GPRS and HSCSD, there is nothing to count on - in GSM networks there is no EDGE function for K810i and will not be. As a consolation, the phone is endowed with various useful functions - reading RSS feeds, the browser supports reading html, however, pages of a limited size, the e-mail client supports a variety of encodings.

Battery:

According to official figures Sony Ericsson K810i can work up to 400 hours in standby mode and up to 10 hours in talk mode. In fact, much depends on the properties of the network of a particular operator and the mode in which the owner uses the phone. That is, if you like to listen to music without interruption, get used to walking everywhere with a charger.
