Sony Ericsson K850i More Photos View Specs

The 5.0-megapixel camera with auto focus and Xenon flash produces true digital camera results. Even if users are not an expert photographer, the K850i does everything to help get the best possible shots. Photo fix automatically improves light balance in one click to make pictures as good as it can get. When taking a picture of a moving object, for example at a sports event, consumers can select BestPic and take nine pictures in one burst. Then simply choose the best and delete the rest.

Increased functionality does not mean increased complexity. When in camera mode the K850i's next generation camera menu makes it intuitive to scroll between functions like shoot mode and picture size. The lens cover retracts automatically with one press of the camera button and a new mode selector switches quickly between camera, video and picture viewing modes. The regular phone keyboard also has a dual purpose; switch to camera mode and illuminated icons indicate which keys act as short-cuts for the digital zoom and other functions.

Beyond the camera, the K850i is a capable multimedia phone. The new media browser puts all stored media, whether photos, video, music or podcasts, in one place. Scroll, sort and access media from a single point in the menu. The K850i Cyber-Shot phone also allows users to carry out an intelligent search to see photos by the month they were taken, view thumbnail images or scroll through in full-picture mode. With the new crystal display, the K850i offers optimal clarity from any viewing angle.

Once picture have been taken, it's easy to share the memory. If showing a photo on the K850i's large 2.2-inch crystal bright display, the innovative auto rotate feature will display it in the correct aspect - portrait or landscape - irrespective of the orientation it was taken in. Picture blogging and video blogging allow users to upload their shots and footage at HSDPA speeds to their own blogsite.

The Sony Ericsson K850i Cyber-Shot phone is a tri-band HSDPA and quad-band GPRS/EDGE phone with a color choice of either Velvet Blue or Luminous Green. It will be available in selected markets from early Q4 2007.

Why shouldn't it work? If it's unlocked you can use it on any network

I recently purchased a K850i> everything works fine but the only thing that i can't get to work is the picture messaging with the AT&T service. Does anyone know how to set the settings for the picture messaging for this phone?

I bought this mainly for the camera, well you can't fault the camera, its extreamly good for a phone, The phone works perfectly and has plenty of features, the only fault is the touch screen, its either a little too sensetive or not sensetive enough when you want to alter whats on the screen, sometime's when writing a tex you have to watch that you don't touch the "back" word, when you only want to cancel a letter by pressing the "c" button. I think that most people would like to play with this for hours or days as I am doing...loll. I give it 8/10 a nice phone.
