Sony Ericsson K850 review: 5 megapixel Phone-and-Shoot - read the full textWe called Sony Ericsson K810 the rebirth of the Cyber-shot. We're now looking at a great leap forward in developing the company's cameraphone lineup in the face of the glamorous Sony Ericsson K850. It brings a bunch of novelties in design...

 

n95 also has GPS navigation built in lol..

This is the best cam phone ever. SE is the best, after all the tested k850 is only a prerelease version and it stands almost upto the N95, so just imagine how good the release version will be. The only and I mean only advantage the N95 has over K850 is WLAN.

I think LG Viewty (KU990)is more powerful in terms of the picture quliaty and the video performance. D navi key looks very uncomfortable !!! and the 3 soft keys are very hard to find and press. what's wrong with Sony Ericsson?? I'm little bi disabppointed with K850i especially 2.2" display. It's outdated.

to N7aD, yeah anything could happen anytime anywhere, anyplace but i don't carry laptop around as they are very heavy, so i need a phone with wlan to go online, how? Use k850's gprs and pay money? 0.o!
K850 : 118
N95 with faster cpu and wlan, bigger screen and internal memory weights only 2g more? Lol? Nokia's technology more advance? Lol.

Oh ya, i'm using my n95 to post comments here. At anytime, anywhere at any wifi connection:)

Its not a digital camera ,but its a phone integrated with a digital camera .A 5 megapixel ,cybershot - BEST PIC technology .
U don't carries a camera with u usually,everywhere you go ,unless your job is photographer or u r on holiday somewhere with a camera stuck with you... But sometimes , unexpected things & situations can happen to anybody ,anytime ,anywhere in this world where u got just a few seconds to shoot a pic of it .Example ,u can be in the presence of a celebrity ,and u've got just a few seconds to take only one shot of him /her and be sure not to miss (blurred pic, eyes shut..etc), or , Rooney/Gerrard is about to shoot a penalty kick(perhaps the match winner goal in an important final,or dramatic situations such as a plane is about to crash in a building ...and with a phone like the k850 ,already integrated with a 5MP,AUTOFOCUS,CYBERSHOT-BESTPIC TECHNOLOGY with QUICK RESPONSE, take pictures of sensational or dramatic situations that can happened to anybody , anytime , anywhere in this world , and become an amateur/professional paparazzi or photojournalist ,and if your pic is the unique (eyewitness)shot of something important ,be sure it will be published worldwide.

The best camera is the one you carry with you. That's why I like camera phones, and K850 is the best in that category. I have tried the N95 too and it is way to slow to take quick snapshots. Also, the N95 does not have flash which I think is ridicilous.

my spouse own an N95 and I must say that I'm truly amazed. I always hated Nokia's camera end result, the pictures don't look like a normal picture at all and the colors are way off. but with N95, it is way beyond a common digital camera. if you open a picture (in Adobe Photoshop) produced by a regular 5MP digital camera, it only has 72px/inch. N95 has 300px/inch. plus the video capability, it truly produces a DVD quality videos. TRY TO BEAT THAT.

now, I currently using a K750i and very looking forward to getting the K850i. the only thing I wished that K850i takes from N95 is the WLAN. but well, anyway, I'm really anticipating the phone :)

"This K850 camera phone blows N95 out of the water"

I received the K850 for acceptance testing last week and it doesn't.

Sad..........How can everyone just keep posting without actually seeing and using the Sony Ericsson K850 first hand.........Iv been using soo many phones, and i must say, clarity and picture quality wise sony ericcson is the best.... Nokia phones are lous but sony ericcson phones have a better clarity --- we dont need phones to sound like a music stage anyway!
And if u compare the Nokia N95 to the Sony ericson K810---- the camera quality on the SE is much better!

AFAIK, K850 uses dual memory card slot. MicroSD slot and M2 slot.

BTW, for most of us, a good digital-camera is just an extra option, it's not the main reason to buy a new phone.
IMO, if you were going to buy a new phone, better buy the phone that offer more features within the price range.
and if you were looking for a good digital-camera, there's many great compact digital-camera out there that priced less than US$200 (ie: Fuji A900 or Canon A570IS).
just don't let the megapixel blinds you...

peace!

it's nice to know that SE finally decided to use the "Call" and "End-Call" buttons just like the other manufacturers.
:)
as for me, i think the overall design is not attractive. SE should hire new designer team.

Too late to the market and inferior product anyways. Not surprising, SE downfall began years ago..

This K850 camera phone blows N95 out of the water. N95 is a little of everything, K850 is the best camera phone.

Read the review people, it's about innovation, not just the megapixel race.

No dedicated button to start/pause playback?
