PDAs, Cellphones, Wireless A few weeks ago PureMobile sent us in the Sony Ericsson K850i, one of the most high-end non-smartphones in the market today. The device sports a 5MP camera and triband 3G, features that are highly admirable for the price. Read on for more.

The manual only mentions Windows XP and Vista. So no Mac OS support for the synchronization. But you can use the Mass Storage function.

I just got this phone and so far I really like it. The resolution is beautiful and the camera functions are brilliant. I did BTW got it to record of the videocall cam though, I did it while trying to make a video call, which didn't work and I was asked if I wanted to record a video message. This clip then showed up in my Media folder.

I really like the motion sensor in the phone, when you're in Media mode and flip the phone it changes the view! There is even a weird kind of ball game in there which uses the sensor to roll the ball.

The touch keys do need a little getting used to but when you got the hang of it it's really weird to use a phone where you really have to push the buttons. Some people using the phone think the whole screen is touchscreen because they have to touch the softkeys, which is a bit confusing at first.

The phone feels solid and looks tough, perfect for me, I don't like those slimline-superthin phones.

It's an almost perfect phone and I would give it a 9/10, being a SE it already scores 7/10 in my opinion and the Media and Camera functions make it a 9.
