Sony Ericsson K850i

A five megapixel Cyber-shot camera is by no means unique, but Sony Ericsson's Velvet Blue K850i is a smooth operator that oozes street cred.

There is 16 x digital zoom, autofocus, a built-in Xenon flash and an on-board accelerometer (keeping pictures in the correct orientation regardless of whether you are looking at it from a portrait or landscape perspective). You can capture nine consecutive shots simply by pressing the capture key once, enabling you to captures the most successful photo with the BestPic™ feature. You can then edit and improve them with integral software.

The K850i comes with a media manager software CD in the start up kit, which allows you to manage and transfer music, photo and video files easily. The media player comes with a selection of music features, enabling you to get the very best you're your mobile music experience. The music features include PlayNow™, which is a quick music download feature, while the TrackID™ feature is a music recognition tool.

Weighing a sturdy but manageable 118 g, the K850i measure 102 x 48 x 17 mm, the quad-band K850i includes a front-facing camera for 3G video calls and a memory card slot that accepts both Memory Stick Micro and microSD card types, augmenting 40 MB internal memory.
