Hello!
I would like some advice on getting a new/new to me phone.
I currently own a SE k800i, and its on its last legs.
I would quite like a new phone with similar attributes as my old phone, because its reliable and well built.
Functions I like on the k800:
Good camera with Flash
Normal (non-qwerty) keypad
Durability.
Any advice for an upgrade? I would like it to have Wi-Fi. 
Thanks.

 seems to be dumping the whole 'cybershot' idea and none of their new phones seem to have xenon anymore.
Other than that, I too, like the Elm. Had the X10 Mini Pro taken any longer to come to market, the Elm was next on my list. It's small, sturdy, slightly water resistant (sweat and light rain), decent features, and feels really good in your hand.

Thanks guys, yeah, I was thinking about the Elm.
It does look and sound (from reviews) very appealing  |

go for elm. its feature packed phone with good build quality and solid looking. seems durable.
only outcome is lack of Xenon. I think SE doesn't making high quality camera phone + Xenon anymore. to keep their Digicam market alive. |

Elm or Hazel, as suggested above.
I believe has a new CyberShot in the works with a 16 megapixel camera, lets see what it'll turn out to be.
Nokia 6070 (2006-2009),  K550 (second hand 2009-2010), Hazel (J20i) (2010-2011), Samsung Galaxy S II (2011-2012), Samsung Galaxy S III (2012-2014), Sony Xperia Z3 (2014-) |

Closest to k800i with wifi would be c905, both are cybershot, both have xenon flash and lens cover, both have normal keypad and both are feature phones.
If c905 is hard to find or still pricey (some stores here didn't even drop the price much even though it's already been 2 years since it's released) Elm or Hazel are other alternatives with wifi and normal keypad and both are excellent at daylight pictures, the only downside is the lowlight shots and it has no xenon flash.
