As for stocking fillers, theres always the SE deskstand and the new camera kit with a carry case and mini tripod. Also theres a bluetooth speaker out soon I think. I gave my dad my k700i years ago which broke, then my brother gave him another. He struggles with it though and only uses it for phone calls to work. I have my old k800i lying around, mint condition no scratches and a brand new payg simcard for it that I havnt opened yet. Im thinking of giving it away, but my dad wouldnt really care about new features and all my relatives are up to date with their handsets. I'll just leave it in my cupboard untill my dad breaks his k700i XD.
I also have a k750i, but its covered in scratches and the camera buggered up due to several drops, hence why I keep my k800i and k850i in cases all the time. |

Its funny how some parents are so bad with phones! My dad doesn't even have a phone and would reject it if i gave him one!
My mum has a cheapy Motorola which is near new but has the features of an Ericsson phone from about the year 2001 (B&W screen and almost no features). She still struggles with it. She can only text and call. My grandmother actually had a mobile phone before my mother!
Anyway, perhaps your father would like a bluetooth headset? Will he use it to talk a lot?
Does he travel much? What about a micro travel charger?
Theres plenty of accessories listed on the SE website!

Well yes my Father does travel around alot but i cannot afford to buy him all of the stuff for him. Buying the phone was pushing the boat out!! I figure if he can afford a BMW he can afford to buy the bluetooth headset thingy too !  |

Thats true. Accessories aren't all that cheap.
I think you've done well just getting him a K800i and he will be well pleased. I think you've done enough right there!
