Explain star rating

RRP

$1099.00

Price range

$390

Review Date

Monday, 29th of October, 2007

Features

Form Factor : Candybar

What's Hot

5-megapixel Cyber-shot camera with 16x digital zoom, redesigned media interface, spring-operated battery and SIM card cover, vibrant display, accelerometer

What's Not

Controls and keypad quite small, touch-sensitive selection buttons not well placed, a little chunky

The Final Word

The K850i is the best camera phone currently available on the market. Although it still doesn't replace a stand-alone digital camera, for a device that you can carry everywhere in your pocket, it does a fine job. It's a shame about the small keypad and squashed controls.
