Sony Ericsson K850i mobile phone
Skip contentSony Ericsson K850i is a dual mode candybar style cameraphone. With its quad-band GSM and tri-band 3G network capability, this model can be used just about anywhere. The handset is also packed with more or less any feature you might need, and will find plenty of buyers who want to make video calls, but also like their mobile phone to be versatile. 
One of the major features of the K850i is its fantastic 5 megapixel camera, which enables users to take photographs of superior quality, and when you wish to operate the camera an automatic cover opens up to reveal the lens. Apart from its 16x zoom, the camera has an image stabiliser option, which compensates for those small movements we all make as we take a picture. Night shots benefit from the integrated xenon flash light.
There is so much else to like in this mobile phone. The device can record video and audio as well as stream such media, an FM radio is included, a MP3 music player, loudspeaker, and voice activation. Although the other common features are all on board as well, for example MMS, Java™, e-mail and Bluetooth™. The Web browser, combined with the speed of HSDPA, will offer users some great broadband surfing, and when more memory is needed there is a slot in the side to take Memory Stick Micro™ (M2™) or MicroSD™ cards of up to 8 GB.
