Features

For regulars who've grown along with Sony Ericsson's Cyber-shot series, the K770i is less of a Cyber-shot than a Jack-of-all-trades. One obvious clue is the (gasp) omission of a Xenon flash. It's a surprising decision given the phone's pedigree (just name one Cyber-shot that hasn't a Xenon flash) and 3.2-megapixel autofocus sensor. However, it's not the end of the world. For less fussy camera users, a photo light is by our reckoning a lot more practical as it can double as a torchlight. After all, everyone knows you just can't get very far with a puny camera-phone flash for night shots. So why bother?

Other than that omission, the K770i retains the more user-friendly aspects of its predecessor. Here, a set of backlighted icons on the numeric keypad work as shortcuts to navigating through the camera's menu, reducing the hassle.

In addition to photo and video capabilities, the K770i is an accomplished music phone with support for MP3 and AAC formats. Besides a Memory Stick Micro (M2) card slot for expanded storage, it also supports the A2DP profile letting you connect wirelessly via your own Bluetooth stereo cans. There's also the music recognition feature TrackID, and to complete the audio experience, there's built-in RDS-capable FM radio as well.

Other features of note are a 262K-color, 1.9-inch QVGA screen, PictBridge, photo blogging, RSS feeds, USB mass storage and the ability to control other devices using Bluetooth which is typical Sony Ericsson fare.
