Sorry for the additional question, but I've tried to look for an answer to this... is it possible to turn off the flash when taking pictures? I have a feeling the answer is no. |

yes it can. just go to camera mode and press the a/A button until it shows an icon with a flash that is crossed out.

@boman1882,
Did that... it appears as portrait in the contact information, but when a msg or call comes in it is in landscape. |

Not sure if this has been discussed anywhere, but I've an issue with .m4a (iTunes AAC) files on my K800.
There's a kind of "limiting effect" that occurs 2 steps from maximum volume level (the last green ball is not lit in the volume bar.)
Basically, at or above this level, the sound gets very "watery". It sounds like something is limiting the volume by chopping off the top parts. Also, going beyond this level doesn't increase the actual volume.
This limiting effect doesn't seem to occur with MP3 files, and definitely doesn't occur with the radio, so it's probably a firmware bug.
I'm a drummer so I might be expected to have bad ears but I've tried the phone with a couple of friends and they all agree the maximum volume with AAC is nowhere near that of any music player they've heard. Also, I listen to the radio at volumes MUCH louder than those when I'm in the Media Player.
Anyone care to confirm this problem?
p.s. My iTunes files are encoded at 80kbps stereo. Using VBR or other bitrates made no difference.

no problems with my media player...volume goes all the way on my m4a(itunes encoded) tracks. though its encoded @ 96kbps stereo. anyways, i'm satisfied with the music quality, however, because of the compression of the file i have to admit that the quality was lessened from the original.

*Message in use bug*
Just to document this issue so its in this thread as a K800i issue as I havent ever had this before on any other SE.....
I recieved a text from O2 about "choose your next month O2 Treat" ring this number etc etc. Anyways, when I tryed to delete the message I had a message saying "Message in use" I could'nt delete it until a handset reboot was done. I then pressed delete and it was deleted.

You had the message open elsewhere (or the message alert still open) - I've had this happen too. You just need to check the activities popup and switch to the menu notification.

How do you mean had the message open elsewhere? I recieved the text, tryed to delete it and it would'nt. After a handset reboot the text however did delete.

One criticism - keypad layout with internet key at left hand side - I have found my phone on the internet several times (I usually keylock the phone).
O2 started charging for GPRS access in May which I used to use loads - last month cost 10.50 for GPRS access. Because of this I have created a blank GPRS profile so the phone never goes on GPRS. Not a fault of the phone as such - just O2 charging a lot for GPRS unlike Voda Live which is free.
Thoroughly recommend the K800 but O2 - not so sure. I might as well be on PAYG.

@skylite: you're right, it's a bug.
@boman1882: That's not the problem, it's a bug. I have the same problem. My contact pictures are all vertical portraits and show up as vertical portraits in the picture album. But if I use them as a contact picture, they show up horizontal/landscape. If I go to the contact in the edit mode, they show up vertical/portrait again! But not if the phone rings or I get a sms by a contact. Then they are landscape...
That's the problem.
@mwarner: Please add it to the bug list on the first page. Thanks!
In the K750i the same pictures show up as vertical/portrait pics in the contacts.
It's the only bug i found in my K800i.

I'm also a bit disappointed about the "cyber-shot" features. Every cheap digicam can set the flash manually on, not only off. The K800i can't.
There's no option to switch off the AF illuminator too. And no menue to manually set the ISO speed. Disappointing.
And worst: the shutter speed slows down to 1/15 of a second bevor the automatic flash fills in. Ok, with the image stabilizer it's possible to get a more or less sharp picture at 1/15s. But not of people. People will move in this time and the picture is unsharp.
For me, I have a lot unsharp picture. More than I would expect from a camera with flash and image stabilizer. It would bee easy to correct that in a firmware update:
1. It must be possible to set the flash manually ON, not only OFF.
2. The automatic flash has to fill in at the latest at 1/30s or 1/60s.
3. Add ISO setting manually
But I guess SE will never add these features 
For me they are necessary to call the K800i "cyber-shot"...
At the moment the K800i is just another mobile phone with a camera, but not a "cyber-shot".
@mwarner: can you add this to the "bug" list (even if it's not really a bug) or add as "missing/requested features", please. Thanks!
