W850, W700, W550 and many more phones lose its Auto Focus feature. Why?

Because they are all

phones, auto-focus is for the cybershot models like K800

And the reason why the

800/900 had Autofocus was because

didn't have enough imaging handsets on the market, just the K750 and it needed more.

JJ: goldenface already answered that. the w810 is an exception, even when it was released after some AF-less

phones, as it's positioned as the replacement of the w800, which had AF

only camera phones need autofocus eg k800i and k750i . w850i is a total music phone , but has an ok 2mpcam for ppl wh sometimes need one.

AF is a moving part and therefore has a relatively high cost.
The advantage is limited with these types of cameras. So they have to balance the price with the features for each part of the market the phones are directed to.

W phones are for music and have a nonAF camera (excepting w800, w810)
K phones are for pictures and have AF but don't have the integrated W feature

that's why i think w810 and the w800 are superbe ... they have both

I think the w810 and w900i are gems because they may infact be the last

phones with Autofocus on them.
