Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Sony Ericsson's K850i Cyber-shot phone makes it a breeze to stay in close communication with your contacts as well as snap brilliant photos on the go. It has a 5-megapixel autofocus lens and a Xenon flash for low-light conditions, and it's also loaded with a bevy of photographic features including multi-shot and video capture. The quad-band K850i GSM/EDGE phone is also ready to run on 3G networks here in the US (tri-band 850/1900/2100 MHz UMTS/HSDPA), enabling fast downloads and streaming multimedia while on the go. It also includes a stellar digital audio player, FM radio, Bluetooth stereo music streaming, Memory Stick Micro (M2) expansion, and up to 9 hours of talk time.

Unlocked Phone
This unlocked cell phone can be used with a GSM network service provider and it provides quad-band connectivity (850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 1900 MHz). It does not come with a SIM card, and it requires that you provide a SIM card for usage with your selected service provider. This phone comes with a one-year warranty from a third party provider.

Phone Features
The K850i has a 2.2-inch TFT screen with a 240 x 320-pixel resolution and support for 256K colors. It features a blue backlit five-way navigation pad built into the numeric keypad, and the gunmetal gray body is accented by a blue stripe running down the side. The phone has a 40 MB memory (which can be expanded using optional Memory Stick Micro media), and it can store up to 1000 contact entries. The phone will also display the 30 most recent dialed/received/missed calls.

An automatic lens cover keeps the 5-megapixel lens on the back of the phone protected, and it includes a xenon flash for a burst of high-intensity light at just the right moment. An image stabilizer compensates for those small movements, reducing the chance that your photo comes out blurred. The BestPic function gives you nine chances to capture the precise moment you want. As well as your shot, the phones take four images as you press the button, and another four afterwards. Pick the one you want, trash the rest. Select the Photo Fix function to improve pictures that you think can be better. In a one-click operation, brightness, light and contrast are adjusted to give you the best possible picture. Other photographic features include a 16x digital zoom, red-eye reduction, picture blogging capabilities, and video capture (up to QVGA at 30 fps).

The digital audio player is compatible with a wide variety of formats, including MP3, AAC/AAC+, and WMA. Additionally, you can play MPEG4 and 3GPP videos. With the TrackID service, you can identify any song that you can hear by just recording a snippet of sound using the microphone. After sending the file for recognition, you'll have the name, artist and album sent to your phone. It also includes a built-in FM radio with RDS, which displays the name of the currently playing song (when tuned to compatible radio stations).



The K850i has a powerful 5-megapixel camera with auto focus for no-hassle sharpness, and xenon flash for poor light conditions.
This phone provides Bluetooth version 2.0 wireless connectivity with EDR (enhanced data rate), and includes profiles for communication headset, handsfree car kits, and audio/video remote control. With the A2DP Bluetooth profile, you can stream your music to a pair of compatible Bluetooth stereo headphones. You can connect your laptop (either via Bluetooth or wired USB) and enjoy dial-up networking--surf the Internet, send email, and access files from a server.

If you're looking for a mobile productivity partner, the K850i has you covered. Support is built in for sending and receiving pictures, text, graphics, and sound via MMS messages. When used in combination with the phone's built-in still and video camera, MMS opens up a whole new world of messaging possibilities. T9 text entry, a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit-- a plus for mobile email and text messaging users.

The phone also ships with a built-in email client with support for POP3 and IMAP4 protocols, while the included Access NetFront Web Browser allows you to surf full HTML web sites. The K850i also supports RSS feeds, allowing you to use your phone to view up-to-the-minute news and other content from selected Web sites and blogs. Just subscribe to the feed and let it come to you.

Other features include:

  • Speakerphone
  • Polyphonic ringtones (72-chord), vibrating alert
  • Multi-language support: English, Spanish, French
  • Motion sensor for automatic rotation of UI
  • PictBridge direct printing from phone over USB
  • Airplane mode allows you to safely use the non-wireless functions of a phone (music, games, or organizer functions) on an airplane during flight or in other situations where you need to turn off your cellular connection.
  • PIM tools: Calendar, tasks, notes, timer, alarm clock, calculator
  • Bluetooth profiles: A2DP (stereo music streaming), AVRC (remote control), HFP (hands-free car kits), HSP (communication headsets), BIP (for sending images to another device), DUN (dial-up networking), FTP (file transfer), HID (support for mice or joysticks), OPP (object push for business cards, calendar items, and pictures), PAN (personal area networking), PBA (transfer contacts)

Its 930 mAh lithium-polymer battery is rated at up to 9 hours of GSM talk time (3.5 hours using the 3G network), and up to 400 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the 850/900/1800/1900 GSM/GPRS/EDGE frequencies, as well as 850/1900/2100 MHz UMTS/HSDPA frequencies. This phone comes with a one-year warranty from a third party provider.

1.0 out of 5 stars Classy paperweight, March 25, 2009
This review is from: Sony Ericsson K850i Cyber-shot Unlocked Cell Phone with 5 MP Camera, U.S./International 3G, Media Player, M2 Memory Slot--U.S. Version with Warranty (Velvet Blue) (Wireless Phone Accessory)
This is the worst phone I have ever owned. I got this to replace my W810i. I have had many Sony Ericsson phones, and I like the way they work and the way they look. This one, when it is working, has a nice interface. It improves upon the previous phones in this area. The camera is a good one, and the voice quality is good. The problem is that the phone dies randomly. One day, I picked it up and it was dead. A quick internet search reveals that the phone's software is fundamentally flawed. Search "k850 brod" and you will see the hundreds of people stricken with this problem. The only recourse offered by se support was to send it back to them for 10 days, and when it comes back, the same problem could happen again.

This review is from: Sony Ericsson K850i Cyber-shot Unlocked Cell Phone with 5 MP Camera, U.S./International 3G, Media Player, M2 Memory Slot--U.S. Version with Warranty (Velvet Blue) (Wireless Phone Accessory)
The phone is completely in the specs according to the seller. Takes excellent 5MP pictures comparable to a regular 5MP camera. The only drawback is that it only accepts certain formatted pictures from other phones. Everything else on the phone is amazing I would definitely recommend it and recommend getting a case to protect it as I've read there have been problems with the K850i in the past although I have not experienced any problems what so ever.
