K850 – 5mp digital camera in your pocket

Most of all from Sony Ericsson's mobile phones, I’e always liked K series, classic and pretty cool design, normal sound and what most important, it's the best "CameraPhone" I have ever seen. In short, In my opinion, Sony Ericsson's K series is the best phone series for amateur photographers, practically you have pretty good camera everywhere in your pocket :)

After K810i, I was waiting for next phone with huge interest, I was feeling that Sony Ericsson was making something really interesting and "whoala", K850i comes into the world.

What is K850i and why it's so cool:

”The eye-catching K850i boasts an incredible 5 megapixel Cybershot^TM camera with 16x digital zoom and Xenon flash to enable you to get up close and personal to take some stunning photographs. Taking the perfect photo has been made that much easier with the K850i and once you add in the anti blur technology that comes with the K850i, it really makes it all fool proof. Have you ever wished you'd pressed the camera button just seconds before you actually did to catch that all important image? Well the K850i does that for you - it even takes additional photos after you've pressed the button. BestPic^TM takes nine pictures every single time you press the button - 4 before you press the button and an additional 4 afterwards. All you do is choose which ones you want to save. Great for capturing that action shot. Once you've captured that perfect shot you're bound to want to share it, so you can always upload your pictures up on to your own blog site. Life isn't just a series of stills and with the K850i you can also capture video footage and being 3G the handset supports video streaming.

The Sony Ericsson K850i's media player will not only let you enjoy video footage, but also lets you have music wherever you go. You can choose to download music to your handset from the Internet or transfer it via Bluetooth or USB from compatible devices, or via a Memory Plus Memory Stick or MicroSD card. If you find yourself in need of a change of music or indeed with a desperate desire to catch up with the traffic, sports results or news you can always tune into your favourite FM radio station via the K850i's inbuilt FM radio. The K850i can even help you become a musical guru - the person in the know - how many times have you or your mates listened to a track and not known who it was by or what it was called? Well the K850i makes that a problem of the past. By simply recording a few seconds of that elusive track the phone will use TrackID^TM and before you know it you'll have the name of the song, artist and even the album!

The K850i supports both MP3 and polyphonic ringtones which you can download. You can also customise your handset's ringtone by logging on to the PlayNow^TM website and selecting your own ringtone. PlayNow^TM enables you to try ringtones before you buy them, with the price of the download being shown on your screen and then subsequently charged to your mobile bill should you wish to purchase it. Once you've decided to buy, you can decide how you want to use it - either assigning it to a particular contact or using it as your default ringtone! The PlayNow^TM icon shows on your mobile desktop and starts a dynamic web application, without the need to use a browser.

Staying in touch with friends and family is easy with the K850i and there's a choice of methods to suit most people. Apart from the conventional mobile phone call, the K850i, being a 3G mobile handset, enables you to hold face to face video calls; both fun and useful! Additionally you can always choose to keep in touch by sending SMS messages - created using predictive text, or more creative MMS messages incorporating text, images - including sound and your own photographs and video clips. You can even record voice messages and incorporate them into your MMS messages. The K850i also supports Push Email enabling you to send emails but more importantly receives emails direct into your inbox, with out the need for you to log on.

The K850i's 3G technology will provide you with exceptionally fast broadband Internet speeds and coupled with its EDGE technology transfer speeds of up to 3 times faster than GPRS may be achieved. Not only can you transfer and upload data, but you can also surf the Internet, as well as receive RSS feeds giving you the chance to stay up-to-date with all the latest news and sports information.”
