"Great phone, lousey headset for radio."
Pros: Nice display, intuitive menus, useful features.
Cons: Bulky headset for the radio, proprietary connector.
Summary: I was looking to replace a phone, an mp3 player with built in stereo FM radio, and a camera with one gadget, which also had e-mail capabilities. That is how I became a satisfied owner of a Sony Ericsson K850i phone. It has all the features and then some. The display is crisp, clear and bright. The menus are intuitive and easy to use. Navigation becomes ?automatic? after a few hours; keys are small and take a bit to get used to. If you have big hands, this might not be the phone for you. The camera takes excellent pictures outdoors, indoors it requires a lot of light, and even so some pictures are dark. Not sure, but I think that the built in zoom is digital only, because zoomed pictures are grainy.
My BIG complaint is the headset that comes with the phone. It is the antenna for the radio so it must be used. The wire is long and stiff. I have a Sony Bluetooth stereo headset which can not be used with the radio, only with the phone and the mp3 player.
I highly recommend the Ericsson K850i, well designed and thought out (except for the must use headset) multipurpose gadget.
