Here's Sony Ericsson's answer to the Nokia N95 (minus the smartphone features). The Sony Ericsson K850 GSM phone has a 5 megapixel "Sony Cyber-shot" camera built in with autofocus lens and Xenon flash (one-upping the Nokia N95's LED flash). Even more exciting, the phone is quadband for GSM and EDGE and it has a 850/1900/2100MHz HSDPA radio for 3G that will work with AT&T in the US.
It has a memory card slot that's compatible with both M2 and MicroSD cards, 16x digital zoom, video recording, PIM applications, USB mass storage support, Bluetooth 2.0, FM radio with RDS, the Netfront web browser, MP3 player, podcasting, video calling, push email via Exchange ActiveSync and 40 megs of internal memory.
Here's what Sony Ericsson has to say about the new K850:
"Sony Ericsson K850 Cyber-shot(TM) phone
5 megapixel camera phone with Auto focus and Xenon flash Tri-Band HSDPA phone for high-speed picture and video blogging Advanced digital camera features - BestPic, Photo fix and PictBridge
Beautiful images - The 5 megapixel camera with auto focus and Xenon flash produces true digital camera results. Even if you are not an expert photographer, the K850 does everything to help you get the best possible shots on your phone. Photo fix automatically improves light balance in one click to make your picture as good as it can get. When taking a picture of a moving object, for example at a sports event, you can select BestPic(TM) and take nine pictures in one burst. Then simply choose the best and delete the rest.
Beautifully simple - Increased functionality does not mean increased complexity. When in camera mode the K850's next generation camera menu makes it intuitive to scroll between functions like shoot mode and picture size. The lens cover retracts automatically with one press of the camera button and a new mode selector lets you switch quickly between camera, video and picture viewing modes. The regular phone keyboard also has a dual purpose; switch to camera mode and illuminated icons indicate which keys act as short-cuts for the digital zoom and other functions.
Easy to access - Beyond the camera, the K850 is a capable multimedia phone. The new media browser puts all of your stored media, whether photos, video, music or podcasts, in one place offering you a unique Sony Ericsson media experience. Scroll, sort and access your media from a single point in the menu. The K850 Cyber-shot(TM) phone also allows you to carry out an intelligent search to see photos by the month they were taken, view thumbnail images or scroll through in full-picture mode. With the new crystal display, the K850 offers optimal clarity from any viewing angle.
Easy to share - Once you have taken your picture it is easy to share the memory. If showing a photo on the K850's large 2.2" crystal bright display, the innovative auto rotate feature will display it in the correct aspect - portrait or landscape - irrespective of the orientation it was taken in. Picture blogging and video blogging allow you to upload your shots and footage at HSDPA speeds to your own blogsite.
Easy to pair - Given the premium look of the K850 Cyber-shot(TM) phone, you will want to match it with an accessory that looks just as good. Announced today as an optional accessory, the Bluetooth(TM) Headset IV840 fits discretely and securely into your ear. This high-performance headset can leave you handsfree for up to 9 hours of talking. It can pair automatically with the K850 for easy set-up, whilst digital noise cancellation provides for optimum sound quality. So, like the K850, the IV840 does not compromise performance or ease of use.
The Sony Ericsson K850 Cyber-shot(TM) phone is a Tri-Band HSDPA and Quad-Band GPRS/EDGE phone with a colour choice of either Velvet Blue or Luminous Green. It will be available in selected markets from early Q4 2007.
