Sony Ericsson K850i – black (unlocked) Review

Sony Ericsson excels at a lot of things, but cell phone design isn’t always the company’s strong point. It’s not that its phone are ugly (most of the time they’re quite pretty), but their controls tend be too stylish for their own good. The K850i has the same problem; it’s stylish and sharp, but we found its navigation array and camera controls not so easy to use. But before we get there, let’s address the good stuff first. Like most Sony Ericsson handsets, the K850i has a standard candy bar design. With its sleek black hue and green highlights, it’s eye-catching without being ostentatious. At 4 inches by 1.9 inches by 0.7 inch, it has an average size though it’s a bit weighty at 4.2 ounces. Sony Ericsson always does a good job with its displays, and the K850i is no exception. The 2.25-inch (320×240 pixels) screen supports a bright 262144 colors. It shows everything well, from graphics to photos and text, and the menus are simple and easy to use. You can adjust the clock size and the brightness, but no other options are customizable.

  5. UGTownsend says:

    the k850i is notorious for firmware instability problems… would advise Avoid… shame really as it could have been a great phone

  6. bosmaaieraapje says:

    i have one i also had those firmware problems , but it really aint a reason to avoid id , just finetune the firmware ( if you are known with computers ) mine runs smooth even when i open the menu’s

  7. scorpserpent says:

    dude..its 5mp..
    its resolution is 5 mp…the quality doesnt decide its resolution

  8. gxz100 says:

    This phone is awful,

    I got the latest firmware, but it terrible!!

    Photos are no good and the most of them are too dark even using flash.
    Always crashes and too slow when using media player.

    Battery drains out very quickly and cell signal is very low some times for no reason!!

    Stay away from this phone!!!

  9. forsaken3400 says:

    I’ve had this phone for a little under a year…

    it’s a good phone – definitly feature packed

    One of the things that WASN’T POINTED OUT … when you are taking pictures there is about a 4 second delay which is VERY IRRITATING!!

    As you start using the phone.. the navigation gets slower and slower… now when i hit menu i have to wait a bit…

    Battery life is CRAP!!!!!!

    I love this phone… it does have a lot of problems but I DO NOT REGRET BUYING IT!!

  10. RIZZYrulez4LYF says:

    Does Youtube work on this phone?

  11. blastoizdrugi says:

    same problem with mine

  12. DJ3orT8724 says:

    love that one :]

  13. banjorogers says:

    This is the WORST phone I have ever owned!!!! I got it and had problems the first time I opened the box. It kept locking up on me and the wouldnt turn off so I’d have to take the battery out. With that, the screen died on me and was just lines. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PHONE!!!

  14. vidkec says:

    mobile phone is great….i love it….look in my chanel what i done of it….new cam driver with 7.1 mpx…sound driver that have bass like w980…flash wallpapers and thems…and also noone issuse comes…

  15. xxxparen says:

    try to update the phone:)

  16. Lancer8482 says:

    @banjorogers: I totally agree wif u dude, that phone is totally SUCKS. If u used to keep your phone inside your pocket, the touch screen can easily damaged, that’s what happened to me. But it’s sound is good though, similar to Walkman series.

  17. WAFFLEZxx says:

    wtf same thing happened to me so i ordered the x1

  18. gigicho21 says:

    @gaspariiy me too it great :D lol bcoz there are motion games :d

  19. bonesethero says:

    i have this phone buty its really DEAD, literally!

  20. Coldmanification says:

    n95 is better

  21. jvrdlc says:

    When I bought this phone I was inlove w it
    Liked the shape, the camara and the design of the backgrounds
    Then I started to get problems w it
    The sound went off completly, like I couldn’t listen to anything. Call sonny Ericsson store n they said I have to call the manufactory center and have em fix it… Sucks bc I paid a lot for this phone..

  22. cooperdude2009 says:

    One thing i hate about this phone: Touch button!

  23. bIackshade says:

    I have this phone for 4 years already, I had to fix it 3 times but it still works and I am not planning to change it until it completely breaks, it’s simply great :)
    And yes, touch buttons never stopped working, but numbers 2, 3, 7 and 8 were malfunctioning xD

  24. ugobuk68 says:

    this phone sucks. after 1 year using it, sure problems on screen..

  25. theagemon5 says:
