Sony Ericsson W850i

The Sony Ericsson W850I is one of the slide cellphones introduced by Sony Ericsson. Sony Ericsson W850i is a 3G and walkman cellphone. If you ask anybody on the street which cellphone brand provide better sound quality they will tell you it's Sony Ericsson. The W850i has a slick and ergonomical design. When the keypad is closed you can still access its applications by pressing the buttons on the slide. Playing games and listen to the music are made easy with those buttons. The size of the cellphone is not big but thick. The dimensions of the cellphone is 98 x 47 x 21 mm. The screen is fairly big which has a resolution of 240 x 320 pixel and uses 262144 colours TFT lcd screen. It comes in two colours, the Precious Black and Golden White. Like most Sony Ericsson's cellphones this one has a 2-megapixel camera and a loud speaker behind it.

This cellphone has some added features. One of them is the 2-megapixel camera with 2.5 X digital zoom as mentioned. Taking photo using this cellphone is as if using a digital camera. The resolution and quality of the photo taken are incredible for a cellphone. Taking photo using previous model is not as easy where you need bright surrounding to get the best quality. For this cellphone, taking photo is as easy as using a camera and you do not need a bright surrounding to get the best quality. On the other hand this cellphone allows you to do photo blogging and video recording. Each photo that you took with this cellphone can be log as photo blog. Video recording does not change much from the previous model except for the quality.

When you buy a Sony Ericsson cellphone, the first thing comes in mind is the sound. Since W850i is a walkman cellphone you will get better sound quality and better MP3 application. In terms of loudness and the quality of sound from the loud speaker it is still outdone by the W550i. But when you use the headphones you will realise that the sound quality is just as good. What I like about the Sony Ericsson's walkman cellphone is its megabass feature in its MP3 application. You will no longer need a woofer to get the effect. A Sony Ericsson headphones is provided with this cellphone. If you prefer using your own headphones, you can do so because Sony Ericsson has provided an adapter.

Getting entertainment from this cellphone is easy because there are several applications that are preloaded on this cellphone. This cellphone supports 3D and java games suitable for those mobile gamers. The preloaded applications are Radio, video clip and video streaming. The internet feature has not change much, you still has the internet browser like most cellphone. But what I am interested in is the RSS feed reader. With the RSS reader you are able to read some of the topics from your favourite website. The design folder has the standard applications and the new Macromedia Flash lite. I have not explore all of the features and applications but I can tell you that this cellphone is worth the price.

Most of the buttons and keys are easy to pressed. But I don't like about this cellphone is the plastic surrounding the multimedia buttons on the cellphone. It is easily torn when you use it for about a few months.

Conclusion, this cellphone suitable for music and game lovers. It is the far most practical cellphone I have ever seen.
