The Sony Ericsson K850i really is an amazing improvement to the Sony Ericsson K800i which was launched at February last year. Not only on the area of the camera, but also on the area of new functions, keys, lights and tricks. Of course, the 5 megaixel camera is new. Sony Ericsson chose for another finish of the lence with the K850i. The lense is automatically hidden behind a lense cover at the exact moment when the camera is not used anymore. When using the camera, the lense is enlighted by blue or green (depends on the colour of the device) led lights, which offers an extingiushed effect. Besides a different camera and a totally different usage, the device is also equipped with BestPic (which makes a series of photos out of which the user can choose the best), Photo Fix (which helps the user to make the best photos) and PictBridge support for immediate printing of photos on a printer.
Where earlier models only had UMTS support, the K850i also offers HSDPA support. That is no unneeded luxury with 5 megapixel photos. With speeds up to 1.8 Mbit per second, the user can send his self-made photos, which are more than a half a megabyte big, easily by e-mail or place them directly on a weblog or online photo album.
The K850i hides a lot of multimedia functions behind its camera. The device is equipped woth a new media browser where all stored media, such as photos, videos, music and podcasts, can be opened, played or viewed, all with only one press on the button in the menu.
The Sony Ericsson K850i also received an intelligent search functions. With this, photos can be viewed from month to month, photos can be viewed as a thumbnail or full-screen. Sony Ericsson has not changed anything to the display when the first Cybershot phone reached the markets last year. The K850i namely has a 2.2 inch display with a QVGA resolution (240 x 320 pixels) and it offers 262.000 colours. Despite of this fact, the displays of Sony Ericsson phones remain one of the most clear and sharp displays on the market.
Something that direcly caught our eye is that the K850 offers a lot of keys, panels and hidden lights, which present one or more functions of the device. Really special are the three touch-sensitive quick keys underneath the display, which form the quick keys for menu navigation, selecting, going back etc. We had to get used to this way of navigating at first, but Sony Ericsson promises that the user does not want anything else after a few hours.
The K850 mainly is a phone, but the implementation of the keys and panels give the device a real camera appearance. Due to its looks and possibilities, the digital camera will now really find its competitor of the phone, because the owner of the K850i absolutely does not need a digital camera anymore.
The functionality of the K850i can be described as unending. Lovers of the Sony Ericsson K850i will have to wait a little while for the device to reach the market, for it will be in the shops round Octobre. Untill this time, the K810i, which recently reached the market, can prove its worth for Sony Ericsson.
