Sony Ericsson K850i
By: Shayne Rana   |   Feb 05, 2008
  • 3.5
Good battery life
Great design and interface
Decent music player
Bad camera

Sony Ericsson has always managed to neatly combine digital photography and/or music players with its mobile handsets. Typically the K850i should be no exception, but here’s what I found out.

Form Factor
The K850i incorporates a partly touchscreen-like display. Three nodes at the bottom of the 2.2 inch display (240 x 320 pixels, 262K colors) are the three points that are touch-sensitive. The keypad is a bit odd with squarish protruding keys. As for navigation, the blue areas around 2 and 5 are slightly raised to serve as navigation points, and the center touch-sensitive area at the bottom is the Select key. There also two pairs of dedicated keys on either side, above the keypad, for taking calls, shortcuts, a cancel key, and ending calls.

One one side, at the top, are the volume/zoom keys. Below is a switch for the camera for Still, Video and Gallery. Alongside that is a dedicated camera key that has a power key only for the camera. At the rear is the 5 megapixel camera with a Xenon flash.

Wondering where you shove your SIM? Though the battery compartment is fully sealed, at the bottom of the phone is a panel that pops open to reveal a hot-swap SIM card slot as well as an M2 card slot. Neat! Above this panel is the charging/earphone port.

I recently bought a sony ericsson K850i 3 months back. I was setting a theme and while the theme was applying the diaplay just went off. I restarted the phone it makes a beep sound but it shows nothing on the display just a light orange light. when connected via data cable on a Pc the phone and memory card gets detected but the phone lcd is the same just a light orange light. I gave the phone for flashing in two different places the tecnicians say the phone is not accepting the software. Whats the problem??????? Is it the board problem?????? Please help me

sexy mobile phones than ever i see, nokia is just for show off coz my dad is using n73,this phone cause 3times virus in 1yeare
ravi chandra @ Apr 11, 2008
This site always blames SE.But infact SE rocks in music,camera everything.I never go for Nokia handsets even someone gifting me for free of cost.People prefer nokia coz it gives loud sound for showoff and extra features(which hangs phone)..No one beat SE in Bass.Nokia sounds like old cassete player.Hats off to SE....

Vaibhav @ Feb 07, 2008
whats the point of having a 5 megapixel cybershot cam phone when its main drawback is a BAD CAMERA.
Vaibhav @ Feb 07, 2008
a smart mobileWell.. i don't have this phone, but, i read it's reviews on many websites. Some say it's Camera is not that good as sometimes in gives dull pictures. For the price tag of Rs.19000, this phone is not worth it.
pramendra jain @ Feb 07, 2008
Well.. i don't have this phone, but, i read it's reviews on many websites. Some say it's Camera is not that good as sometimes in gives dull pictures. For the price tag of Rs.19000, this phone is not worth it. I was waiting for this phone from the past few months. I'm not satisfied too with it's features. There should have been a Symbian Series 60 v3 firmware with some preloaded applications. I'll go for this phone only when it's price drops to Rs. 15000. K850i is a phone only for those who needs a Combination of DigiCam in a Phone. If you want more features, go for Nokia N95 8gb.
Amandeep Singh @ Feb 07, 2008
a weak and loosy review with no in-depth look at ANYTHING.
A. Mitra aka 935mitra @ Feb 06, 2008
i have this phone..its not soo bad..i accept the camera is not that good but the quality will increase as the software updates are launched...but look at its plus points the music player interface is the best compared to all nokia and se phones..even the memory is upgradable to 8gb so it comes in comparison to n95 8gb...also the phone has a xenon flash wich n95 does no have....also the phone has an accelometer and we have the shake feature in the phone....the walpaper can be changed using the shake feature...please change ur testing team as the are useless....
prashant @ Feb 06, 2008
hey!! my k850 bluetooth control connects to all the pc's ive tried. dont diss the phone!!
veer @ Feb 06, 2008
U guys always blame SE phones.R u work for Nokia.Look SE is better in all aspects than Nokia.
Vaibhav @ Feb 06, 2008
Hi i am jaspreet i have k800i but now i want to purchase k850i i like this phone
Jaspreet singh @ Feb 05, 2008
god people are NEVER satisfied.
if the review agrees with other sites, you accuse the review of plaguer ism. if it differs, you say rival companies pay them off. why dont YOU try writing a review for once?
Aatif @ Feb 05, 2008
THE WORST K850i SE REVIEW around the net,top sites compare it with the N95 and N82 and here it says the bad thing bout this phone is its camera,HAHAHAHA!!!!! ,
C'mon guys how much did u get from Nokia to post this review?????
