Being a person who is very conscious about how she appears in front of her peers, she does workouts at gyms weekly as well as going for morning runs everyday. (Need)

Why: The K800i is a phone that exudes a sense of class and stands out from the rest because of its 3.2 megapixel camera, with real flash and red eye reduction, not to mention the image stabilization abilities. Apart from being worthy replacement for a digital camera, the K800i also spots violet keypad lights, which is not common place for many phones in the market. The use of violet keypad lights increases the elegance of this phone.
