      Ok thnx, but i hope K850i really does have those features & this might be my next phone, i'm curently using 6233 right now & i'm eyeing also for nokia 6500 slide.. but i hope the price is not that high & i'm glad SE has finally upgraded their video recording & screen size...

          "motion sensor while gaming(like nintendo Wii)
          PSP like GUI
          walkman 3.0 grade player(with hardware based noise cancellation, improved DSP and more menu animations etc)"

          are u sure, K850i has these features?"

          here are the proofs:

          i'm not so sure about the DSP and hardware noise cancellation, but some source told me that :)

              "In regards to video capabilities Sony Ericsson has finally made a mark in their portfolio - this is the the first of their handsets to feature video recording in QVGA resolution at 30 fps. Regular feature phones produced by SE so far were well known with their meager QCIF@15fps video recording, while their latest smartphones had reached only QVGA@15fps. We certainly hope that VGA@30fps will not be far away."


              the statement is false imho:
              SE W900 already has the capability to record QVGA @ 30Fps video K850 was the second to have, and i'm pretty sure W910 also have that capability

                Awesome looking phone. Still prefer the Walkman series. If only they could have a walkman and cybershot phone combined it would be such a popular seller!

                  "K850 is One step away from the perfect phone for its generation.
                  expect the K900 with 5 mpx camera and 3X optical zoom. (Cybershot K1 camera)
                  Or a 7MPX version that with or with out no optical zoom (cybershot K5? camera).
                  If it has Wifi (G or N) and GPS, and retails at 400 USD approx. It would be king of its generation. "

                  really? tell me a phone which has:

                  dual type card slot
                  automatic camera cover(just like sony cybershot T5)
                  motion sensor while gaming(like nintendo Wii)
                  PSP like GUI
                  walkman 3.0 grade player(with hardware based noise cancellation, improved DSP and more menu animations etc)

                      it can works as an advanced voice based GPS device if plugged with the latest accessory. if you need wi-fi then go for W960i. it has 3.2 autofocus cam. 3.2 is more then enough for clarity and memory mgmt. after all IT'S A SONY !

                            what's with you guys and 16M screens. NO cellphone has a true 8bit 16M screen. they're all 6bit 256k dithering to achieve the 16M likeness and thus are marketed as 16M.

                                Nice phone but no wi-fi. I'm sure the camera will be better than my N95 but I need wi-fi
