The Sony Ericsson K800 was first launched in July 2006 as a successor to the Sony Ericsson K750i. The main feature the phone boasts is the 3.2 megapixel digital camera with Sony Cybershot technology, one of the first of its kind. It also has an array of other media features including a music and video player, FM radio, and expandable memory via the MicroSD slot. It also has the capability for full 3D gaming.  When Daniel Craig portrayed James Bond in the 2006 Bond movie Casino Royale, this was the phone Bond used in the film. The K800 supports UMTS and GSM, and features a front facing camera to enable video calling via a 3G network.

One thing that doesn’t differ from country to country is the SIM lock placed on the handsets at the time of manufacturing. This restricts the use of any SIM card in the phones that is not provided by the network the handset was purchased on. However, it has never been simpler to remove this SIM lock. It is completely legal, and in most cases won’t even cost you a penny! Even better, it will increase the resale value of your phone!

To remove the restrictions, you will need the unlock code that was created at the same time as the SIM lock was placed on the handset, in order to remove the restrictions and unlock the phone for use on any network. If you have been with your current service provider for a long time, they are likely to be able to give you the unlock code you need for free, and may even unlock the phone for you in store.

If your service provider is less than helpful, then you may need to pay a small fee to an independent unlocking service that will provide you with the code you need. These can be found on the internet and on some high streets across the world.
