This CyberShot-sporting Sony Ericsson model is more of a camera and less of a phone. So how is it in terms of functionality and usability?
5MP Camera, Xenon flash, motion sensor, 3G-ready
Odd keypad and D-Pad placement, touch buttons aren't tactile, sub-par build, poor package
It's been like forever that we've been waiting for the K850i. Other manufacturers announced - and delivered - their 5MP camera phone editions. SE was late with the announcement to begin with, and it was much later than the competition that the phone was released. It's now therefore a matter of regaining territory; can the K850i do it?

I have 2 k850i phones.The camera is superb esp the true life color.I hve had this phone since nov 2007.The keypad is good since each key is distinctive to touch.

worst phone i have ever had, ive had nothing but trouble with it, turning itself off, just coming up with a black screen, buttons doing different things as to what it says, ive always had samsung phones and i changed to this 3 months ago and have never been happy with it. ill never be using anything else rather than samsung again!

FYI, the keyboard really sucks! for sms junkies, this is a definite no no, unless you key in using your nails, which again, is a pain. the touch sensitive buttons are an innovative feature, but again, how long are they gonna last? not much.

IN the cam war Of 2 & 3.2 Mp SE was no doubt the leader but now for 5 mp Nokia N 82 is the best! NUMERO UNO!! excellent night shots with the Xenon flash Lets hope the newer cybershot SE 902c & Se G900 ( both 5 mp cam) does well.
sandynator | mumbai | 21/02/08 11:36 AM | Report abuse Reply
sorry dear, K850i, d best. I used N95, N82 even, But sony seems to be morew sexy and have an executive look. And of cam, chance less. Its really worth for spending money for this set. Yo can challenge.. really its the simply best with classic features.

I wouldn't agree with you. The camera of Nokia N82 rocks... Its the best I have ever seen in a cell phone, and not to mention the flash is simply amazing. N82 is the real cyber shot! I am soon going to upgrade my N73 (which rocks in its category) to N82!
dhoni | chennai | 21/02/08 01:06 AM | Report abuse
Its better to go for NOKIA N82..its really worth and stands quite better than K850i
PRAVEEN | TOKYO | 19/02/08 09:39 AM | Report abuse Reply
I agree with you. Nokia N82 is the best and most feature rich phone in the world better than N95 optical image stabilisation(o.i.s) and DVB-H (mobile TV) are the only missing features. SE K850i can't even go near that phone!!!

You would start liking the keypad in long term. I have heard it from many users.. Reviewer has to take inputs from long term users also.. Phone is in market for some months now
