Sony Ericsson K850i Review
16 January 2008
| Avg user rating:
It's hard to ignore the weight of the K850i and it is admittedly rather boxy looking. The plastic finish is a magnet for grubby paw prints, but when active the phone and keypad become brightly illuminated which looks pretty cool.
The first Cyber-Shot phone to boast a five-megapixel camera, complete with Xenon flash. The BestPic and Photo Fix are welcome applications, as is the expandable memory and HSDPA capabilities.
Not only has Sony Ericsson omitted the back button, but it has also got rid of the 'OK' button. The four-way joypad that surrounds the 2 and five keys takes some getting used to, as does the touchscreen keys at the bottom of the screen.
The camera is superb and the list of
A marathon battery life that should allow you to venture far away from any electricity point in order to take any sought after pictures.
Pros: Sony Ericsson has finally embraced the five-megapixel camera with the K850i, but that's only half the story. BestPic and Photo Fix are just two of the standout functions
Cons: To be frank, it's quite a boxy looking phone, and the finish is perfect for framing grubby fingerprints

Verdict: The K850i's camera ability is second to none, although the odd keypad layout may not appeal to everyone.

K850i user opinionI have bought this phone end of 2008 and use it since 8 months now. Call quality is good, pictures are nice in
Awful phoneDo not buy this phone, I have had nothing trouble with this from day one. The buttons fall off and the touch screen locks up all the time. I have sent it off for the second time for repair today.
Sony K850iI agree with the above review. The phone is very slow, the touch screen buttons unresponsive and the phone has a tendency to turn itself off at least once a day for no apparent reason. An improvement over previous models but still a poor attempt at a hybrid touch phone. The camera is also very poor in low light even with the flash it often just comes out with black pictures that are no use to anyone. When the camera does work however, the picture quality is very good.
