Multimedia

The built in VGA camera comes with 2.0 mpixel CMOS camera with Auto Focus. Resolutions supported include Large 1632x1224, Medium 640x480 and Small 160x120. For zooming, there is a 4 x digital zoom and a 8 x playback zoom.

There is a Night Mode and Effects allows you to take pictures (4x Digital Zoom is supported) with add on effects e.g. Black & White, Negative, Sephia, Solarise. You can also take pictures in Panorma mode. You can also add frames for creativity. Macro mode can be used to take close up shots. While we tested, anything shorter than 10cm will not be too clear. White Balance can also be set for different environments. Videos can be recorded in Large (176x144) or Small (128x96). Shoot mode can be set for Picture messaging or for High Quality movie.

Connectivity

W800i supports bluetooth, infra red and USB connectivity which I can use to transfer images easily. Transferring of images, ringtones and Java apps are easy as you can choose to use the infra red, bluetooth, USB or via GPRS. The relevant file types are automatically dumped into the correct directories which you could access them via the file manager. The same applies to jar files. AAC can be used as a ring tone too. Likewise, if you would like, you can use the Memory Duo for transferring files into/out of the phone.

Ringtones

W800i has 40channels polyphonic and MIDI playback sounds exceptionally good. The phone is pretty loud when ringtones are being play backed using the MP3 or AACs stored in phone or memory stick.
