A Glance at the Sony Ericsson K850i

The recently launched Sony Ericsson K850i is the upgrade from the very popular K800i from Sony Ericsson and is a Cybershot phone. The new K850i has a 5 mega pixel camera built in and is, on paper, a worthy upgrade from the K800i. However, Sony Ericsson K850i reviews have suggested that the camera is flawed and that it isn’t worth changing from the K800i to this phone. You’ll be better off getting the C902 from Sony Ericsson instead. This is a real shame because, on paper, the K850i looks so good but the camera problems and keypad issues are limiting the phones capabilities.
The Sony Ericsson K850i contract phone is said to be Cybershot phone and from Sony we know that means a great camera. However, the K850i has a huge problem with the flash which makes it almost a waste of time to buy. Also, the keypad is flawed in design and is very hard to use and fiddly. Unfortunately, this has meant a lot of unhappy customers and several returns. The flash on the camera, although a xenon, is flawed and has problems which result in the photos turning out blurred or completely black – because of this the whole phone is ruined.
All in all, the Sony Ericsson K850i was supposed to be a great camera phone, the reality is that the camera is great, the flash is a huge problem. There are, however, some good Sony Ericsson K850i deals available so you should be able to pick up a bargain. Plus, I’ve found a Sony Ericsson K850i video review which is worth watching to have a look at the features in more detail. The Sony Ericsson K850i is a great phone but in my opinion, if you want a decent camera phone choose the Sony Ericsson C902
