Sony Ericsson's K850i is great piece of design, well built, nice to use and with all the features you expect from a top-end phone. We can't help but feel the T650 leaves it behind in the 'cool' stakes, and what price a phone with the K850i's camera abilit

Camera quality doesn’t meet the expectations We are disappointed by the Sony Ericsson K850 and how it performs as a camera. Really, considering it is the top Cyber-shot branded phone, it should be one of the best on the market, but the comparison wi

The K850i is the best camera phone currently available on the market. Although it still doesn't replace a stand-alone digital camera, for a device that you can carry everywhere in your pocket, it does a fine job. It's a shame about the small keypad and sq

In the world of high tech, you don't want your product to come out a month after your competitor's, let alone 6 months. That's the itchy-scratchy position Sony Ericsson finds themselves in with the K850i coming out a half a year after the flagship Nokia N

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

Sony Ericsson has finally embraced the five-megapixel camera with the K850i, but thats only half the story. BestPic and Photo Fix are just two of the standout functions To be frank, its quite a boxy looking phone, and the finish is perfect for framing gru

We believe the Sony Ericsson K850 lives up to the responsibility of being a landmark product in the company portfolio. With rich camera settings, the K850 comes incredibly close to stand-alone digital cameras. The novelties in navigation suggest the K850

Camera phones have gone a long way. They can now take a good picture under almost any lighting conditions, stored photos can now be sent to others with a touch of a button, and photos can even be printed out to preserve that precious moment. Sony Eric...

Sony Ericssons K800i was the first phone we reviewed that took photos good enough to print. The K800i had a 3.2-megapixel sensor, but the K850i comes with a digital camera-rivalling 5-megapixel sensor. Like the K800i, the K850i is half phone, half ...
