The good: Dedicated camera controls; microSD and Memory Stick Micro compatibility; Xenon flash and LED light; Bluetooth stereo; HSDPA connectivity.

The bad: Glossy surface attracts fingerprints; tiny buttons may not appeal to some.

The bottom line: The K850i Cyber-shot is one of the best camera-phones available in the market right now, thanks to its dedicated controls, good performance and natural-looking images.

Rating: 10 out of 10 (Perfect)
Pros: Excellent pictures, splendid music (loud and clear), comfortable keypads (hardly press any wrong keys), beautiful design, magnificent display
Cons: finger prints need to be clean from time to time
Opinion:
I don't know about you guys complaining about the phone but I think it is a magnificent product.

But the K850i is not lame either, in terms of outdoor pictures, the K850i is absolutely the best choice and under bright sunshine, the pictures are incomparable. It is also light weight and the design is sexy. In terms of music, the K850i ... Read more

Battery performance sucks

Aug 29, 2008

Rating: 1 out of 10 (Abysmal)
Pros: features
Cons: Very poor battery
Opinion:
I bought this phone for the battery performance and features. While the features are good, it no way stands near the claimed batery performcen of 9 hrs talk time and 16 days standby. Repeated service to customer service is zero result. Really battery sucks.
