While there are a lot of camera phones out in the market today, there are only a handful of companies that can do it well. These companies have spent a lot of money for its R&D department just to provide users with that ‘perfect' camera phone. The new Sony Ericsson K850i is a camera phone that not only promises to take good photos with its 5 mega pixel camera sensor and xenon lens, it also comes with features that will come handy for people on the go.
The package comes with the phone, a charger, a proprietary headphone, a proprietary phone to USB port, a strap, and a PC suite installation disc. The K850i has a glossy black surface that gives it a nice classy touch. However, the problem with these kinds of surfaces is that it's prone to fingerprint marks, making it look ‘dirty' after several hours of use. The keys are small and its four-way navigation key is awkwardly placed ‘in-between' the number pad, making navigation and texting a little difficult for people with large fingers. A low-resolution camera (for video calls) is located beside the ear speaker, while touch-sensitive selection buttons can be found just right above the keypads.
The volume/digital zoom keys, camera switch mode, camera on/off key, and camera shutter button is located at the right side of the unit, while its 5 mega pixel camera and flash can be found at the back of the unit. The bottom part of the unit hosts the charger, handsfree, and USB cable port, as well as a fold out cover that houses the SIM card, battery, and memory card (Memory Stick Micro or microSD).
