Review on my new W850i

[oranjeremy]

i bought myself a new W850i. Its my first sony ericsson handphone. I like the beautiful white outfit of it which makes it classy. I would say this phone is overall quite not bad for me. Here are some of the advantages and disadvantages i faced...

Advantages:
Nice camera resolution
Big screen!! (i have always like big screen phones)
Easy-organizable files
Can use video as contact ringtone
Walkman function
Audio quality good and LOUD!! =)
It doesn't have a joysticks (joysticks are always non-durable)
Charging takes only a little while (i dono why..)

I also particularly like the "mark" function where i can mark several or all files when doing transferring or deleting. This function is not available in samsungs i know...

Disadvantages:
Lagging (its a little bit lagging compared to samsungs... probably samsungs have less complicated functions)
Keypads are a little bit difficult to press

I couldnt comment on its 3G functions since my country hasnt really fully-developed this technology... its coming though...

Overall, a good phone... recommendable considering also its price!!

disadvantage- the screen will sometimes appear brighter or darker

[mavros44]

the screen appear some times brighter or darker because the phone have light sensor on the up side and if the room is dark make the display darker if the room is light make the display lighter

Nice phone but it lacks the autofocus in the camera. How come w800 and w810 have af and w850 don't? I will not even talk about the w950! Great phone and no camera at all!!! SE must be crazy (with marketing I guess :P)

After the release of K750 and W810, SE decided to separate the Walkman and Cybershot features of the SE phones.
That is why you would notice that models after W810 doesn't have the autofocus ans macro mode of their camera functions. Same thing with the Cybershot phones which do not carry the MegaBass EQ, unlike K750 which still has this

I think that W850 is the best phone.

lagging can also happen during ~2min after a restart while accessing memory stick, and I confirm almost all problems I've noticed before were solved after latest f/w update.

Well, it is a nice muzic player, but it's too big for me!
And the slider, I wish you that SE make sliders better then joysticks :) (like one on k750).
