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.

I'm a big fan of the K-series SE phones however I do have a couple of niggles I wish they'd address:
* The PC sync has got progressively worse (both the Windows software and the way the the phone can't recieve calls / texts while plugged into the PC)
* The camera picture quality is poor (yes I know it's a phone and not a digital camera, but I'd much rather have a 2 mega-pixel camera with a sharp clear image quality than a 5mpx camera that's grainy
* The camera image capture is impracticably slow. Again I'd happily settle for a lower mpx camera if the capture speed was quicker.
These are only relatively minor points for what is an excelent series of phones so there's a likely chance my next upgrade (due in a couple of months) will this phone.
