Excellent
The good: Dedicated camera controls; microSD and Memory Stick Micro compatibility; Xenon flash and LED light; Bluetooth stereo; HSDPA connectivity. View score
The bad: Glossy surface attracts fingerprints; tiny buttons may not appeal to some.
The bottom line: The K850i Cyber-shot is one of the best camera-phones available in the market right now, thanks to its dedicated controls, good performance and natural-looking images.

Affordable, Great Quality Camera, With Some Firmware Issues
Jan 29, 2010Rating: 7 out of 10 (Very good)
Pros: Awesome camera, good media player, Buttons are easy to feel your way around
Cons: Touch buttons are annoying, phone LAGS when phone memory is near full
Opinion:
This is a phone-camera, not a camera phone. The camera has lots of awesome extras and takes good quality pictures and pretty good video as well. The media player is decent, though it can lag sometimes/often.
Also, after a few months the phone starts to lag somewhat when navigating the menu and doing basic tasks (i.e. text messaging, browsing files etc.) and this is severely worsened when the phone memory is close to full. I leave my phone memory with 25 megs or so unused, and it seems to not lag too badly.
Additionally, the three touch buttons are annoying like nothing else, making you go deep into the menu when you hold the phone up to your face during a conversation, and you cannot use the call end button when in the menu during a phone conversation, so you have to exit the menu before you can hang up. Very inconvenient.

Good camera phone at an affordable price!
Jun 22, 2009Rating: 7 out of 10 (Very good)
Pros: the camera
Cons: finger print magnet, firmware issue (phone restarts, cannot read m2 at times, etc)
Opinion:
By the way, what is the latest firmware / software version for this?
Phone's lifespan is short
Apr 1, 2009Rating: 5 out of 10 (Average)
Pros: Great Camera (especially for taking photos of texts), looks great, crisp clear screen
Cons: Buttons are a little too tiny for comfort, malfunctions after a few months
Opinion:
I would give the phone a higher score if it had not spoilt. I had it repaired once and it has spoilt again, with a different problem. It has also given my two other friends who own the phone problems as well. I'd say buy this phone if you're ready to bear the consequences of the phone dying on you a couple months later.
