While it's not a major problem, it can be an issue at times. When using my camera, photos seem to come out all watery.

Phone I have is a SE K800i which is around 11ish months old

To try and explain, this is a photo I took at a concert last month.

It looked fine when I took it, but when I put it onto the computer, I realised it looked watery and not good at all.

I have next to no clue about the camera settings (ISO speed? exposure etc...) so settings are left as default.

syplect, you can't expect to take that photo with a camera phone. It is outside the K800i's capabilities. Since it seems to be an action shot, you will probably need to shoot at least a (or at most, I should say) 1/30s shutter speed. Maybe 1/15s, but that's really pushing it. However, since there is so little light, you will probably need to shoot at around ISO 640-800 to compensate. That is pretty much what ISO 800 looks like on the K800i. The "water color" effect is the result of some really heavy noise reduction that's automatically done by the camera. You're going to have to live with that. Night + action shots = NO on a camera phone. In fact, a regular point & shoot most likely won't give you a very good photo in that situation either, but it will definitely be better than the K800. You're really entering SLR territory.

Would be nice if you posted the EXIF data for the picture to confirm whatever ISO your camera was shooting at. Esato's picture upload seems to strip it from the file. (assuming you're on windows) Right click on file -> properties -> summary -> advanced.
