Compare K850i blue Deals

The Sony Ericsson K850i with velvet blue highlights is an oldie but goldie dating from October 2007, which built on the tremendous success of the K8XXi range, taking the camera phone to the 5 megapixel level, with CyberShot optics, Xenon flash, autofocus and an automatic lens cover. The camera  also has a BestPic feature that can automatically take nine photos in a second and a picture stabiliser that helps reduce camera shake. There is also a front-facing camera for 3G calling.

It was also the first of the CyberShot cameras to support 3.5G (HSDPA) giving broadband-style speed for internet browsing, downloading and messaging. , which enables you to access the web and download files at broadband speeds where available.
 

With a full range of utiltities and messaging options, the K850i could rival the Nokia N95 or LG Viewty, for example, but with a few design quirks – such as the potentially tricky keypad – to consider.

The 40 Mbytes’ internal memory - not large by today’s standards – can be augmented by a microSD or Memory Stick Micro memory card up to 4GB - useful if you've got a leftover microSD card from an old phone.

Battery life is rated at nine hours’ talk time or 400 hours on standby (GSM); 3.5 hours’ talk time/350 hours standby (3G). From a full charge, it lasts for around two days with moderate use and one day with significant browsing via HSDPA and camera use.
