Here I'll qoute the most important parts:
K850
> "Both on pictures and in real life the handset has always seemed chunky to me, and at a glance I’ve always considered it to be bigger than the Sony Ericsson K800i. To my great surprise, this has been a mere optical illusion, because if you put it face to face with the K800i, you will definitely notice that the K850i’s casing is slimmer.
Dimensions – 102x48x17 mm, weight 118 grams. For comparison, the Sony Ericsson K800i measures up at 106x47x18 mm, weight 115 grams."
> The handset’s keypad is designed in a not particularly common way – its keys are shaped as small squares similar to those the Sony Ericsson T650i has. Even though it might look clunky and fiddly, it proves to be quite easy to use. The navigation key is also pretty quaint, as it is placed alongside numeric buttons, but thanks to its protruding edges, it is a breeze to handle.
> Like before, this screen displays up to 262K colors (TFT) and has a mirror layer, which does help it get along with direct sunlight and increases viewing angles.
> Similarly to the Sony Ericsson T650i, this handset enjoys mineral glass protecting the display which has three touch-sensitive zones beneath it
> The battery utilized by the K850i is also an all-round new type – 950 mAh Li-Pol unit (previously 930 mAh). The manufacturer rates battery life for 400 hours in standby and 9 hours of talk time. In conditions of Moscow networks, this cell will keep the phone up and running for about 2 days on average use – it is not much different from the Sony Ericsson K800i.
> Apart from its big 5 Mpix CMOS sensor, the camera also boasts Xenon flash, which doesn’t make any difference from the Sony Ericsson K800i, marginally increased power aside. Video recording resolution – QVGA at 30 frames per second.
> Technically, the camera of the K850i will be in line with the Sony Ericsson K810i, but will come in with increased resolution – don’t expect the camera module to get substantially better by the time this handset starts shipping, though.
> Walkman 3.0. Even though this is obviously an imaging-minded phone and the company doesn’t normally embed latest player version in non-Walkman products, the flagship is this rare exception – we will present you with lowdown on the new Walkman player version in the review of the device, and for now let us highlight new main menu layout, which appears to be styled after Sony PSP and among all other things, now you can quickly compose own playlists.
New functions include Rhythm&Lights, which stands for keypad-based light effects rhythm-keyed with tunes you are listening to – the Sony Ericsson T650i has this feature implemented in the same way. Unlike the K800i, the player here supports TrackID.
> The handset fully supports both EDGE and UMTS connectivity, including HSDPA. Although it doesn’t come with Infrared port, this connectivity potion is slowly dying off today. The Flight Mode profile now allows using Bluetooth when activated; DRM has got updated to version 2.0. The K850i also boasts support for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync which makes for Push Mail and remote device’s PIM information wiping.
> It is important to realize that this is an interesting flagship product that will generate a lot of hype. With direct competitors on the market, the handset’s price will change in a dynamic manner for Sony Ericsson no longer has that degree of freedom it enjoyed several years ago. Indeed, Nokia has spotted the company’s product and now seriously considers it as a rival and accordingly rolls out own solutions that must stand up to Sony Ericsson’s products. And we, consumers, couldn’t be happier with this, as competition shapes up offerings, making them better overall.
W910
> An interesting trait of the device is SensMe technology that comes built into Walkman 3.0 player – with this, you just need to pick a tune that fits your mood best, and then the handset will draw a playlist with similar tracks on its own. This means that you literally need to settle back and enjoy how the handset analyzes all tracks without your help.
