What reviewers say

Stuff and TechRadar praised the K800i's camera and xenon flash, particularly its ability to photograph people in dim surroundings. Stuff regretted the lack of optical zoom. TechRadar also liked the media features and battery life, but criticised the lens cover and joystick and found autofocus less reliable with flash in difficult light.
