It amazes me how you guys keep asking these questions about which camera phone looks the best, the answer is NONE, All these cell phones use cheap lenses.. PERIOD ive got a nokia 1.3M, sony 1.2M and another sony 2M pixel phones and all outcomes are the same! Clear in the middle and blurry going out toward the edges. Nothing changes, i go to my sony digital camera and go to VGA mode and the picture is IMACULATE from the inside and out!! No blur's at all its all about the LENSE. And until these cell phone companies realize to put in better lenses, the pics will always come out half way descent. But then again its a cell phone camera.. How much quality do you really expect to get?? Try it for ur self, if u have a camera phone and digital camera, set them to the same resolution and snap the same picture and look at them on the computer closely....

                well the phones good n all but for all u people considering it plz take note dat d keypad cracks!!
                my friend has it n believe me it makes the phone look pretty ugly
                its a pity a brand such as sony ericsson providing awesome music n camera would make cells dat crack this easy

                      Kevin, 05 Aug 2008Hey u guys i just wanna ask hows the batt life on this f... morenice choice:) this fone was very durable,, interms of performance it is one the best! try conparing it to nokia Nseries, sound features was great too!! no lagging!! nice pictures too,, even though it lacks auto focus,, the image is great!! video is quite nice,, but it gets pixelated when the scene is fast because it records in QCIF format not mpeg4,, the only weakness of this fone was its navy pad,, it is not just small but it cracks,, but still it works even though it cracks,, it has no effect to its performance though, for youre money, this is a great choice,, but the w910 was the best, if you cant wait to save & buy the w910, w850 was a nice option,interms of features specially durability,, pound for pound!! enjoy!!

                                angela, 01 Aug 2008really?? how about the ribbon?? or the performance?? i have... moreI have owned the SE W850i for about 2 years. In the previous 2 years I owned 6 different Mobiles. Thats how reliable this phone is. There are no limitations to the size of file you can put on the phone, it will play full DVD Length movies and Tonnes more.
                                I absolutuly loved my phone. I lost it about 6 weeks ago now and I am finding it impossible to replace. I have to wait until October before the Phone I will Replace it with is available. But if I can't wait that long, then I will just buy another one of these phones, they may be 2 years old now but they remain just as useful and reliable.
                                Buy and Enjoy :)

                                  my son has given me his 850i phone. I am not too sure about despite the good reviews it has. It seem heavy, and a bit cumbersome. Also its taking me a long time to put in my phone book. any help is appreceated

                                    the ribbon is tough and durable mines lasted 2 years

                                    but the weakest part of W850i is the D-Pad!, mine is badly cracked it still works fine, but it loooks really bad imagine a huge crack through it thats what it looks like..

                                    otherwise W850i is a Great Performer Overall
