With the new K800 comes Cybershot branding to Sony Ericsson mobile phones.

No longer are there two identical models, aka K750 and W800, differing only by external housing and firmware branding. The new Cybershot camera phones are not replicated in the walkman models, they are dedicated to the Cybershot brand alone.

This is disappointing for those who want both the dedicated Walkman Player app AND the best available camera in a phone. However the appeal of the K800 is hard to resist and while it doesn't have the funky look of the walkman player, it still handles multimedia as well as any walkman phone.

The K800 retains all the usual features of the SE User Interface, with some nice additions such as cut and paste, full html capable browser, multi-tasking java engine and other sweeteners.

On the hardware side, K800 introduces a 320x240 screen and 3.2MP CMOS sensor to the K series, as well as adding features seen first on the K610 aka 3G (EDGE in the K790), button layouts and bluetooth PAN and A2DP.
