The K850i strikes us as lightly updated K800i that looks more modernand clean. It’s still got the K series basic candy bar design, and thephone’s size hasn’t changed significantly. The back hump from old.Cybershot phones is thankfully a thing of the past, and the K850i has a flat back with a piano black finish that looks simply lovely and camera-like though it attracts fingerprints like the plague. The K850i inherits the K810i’s little number keys, but these are square rather than round and
a bit rubbery for better dialing traction.
The K850i incorporates a partly touchscreen-like display. Three nodes at the bottom of the 2.2 inch display are the three points that are touch-sensitive. The keypad is a bit odd with squarish protruding keys.
As for navigation, the blue areas around 2 and 5 are slightly raised to serve as navigation points, and the center touch-sensitive area at the bottom is the Select key. There also two pairs of dedicated keys on either side, above the keypad, for taking calls, shortcuts, a cancel key, and ending calls.One one side, at the top, are the volume/zoom keys.
Below is a switch for the camera for Still, Video and Gallery. Alongside that is a dedicated camera key that has a power key only for the camera.At the rear is the 5 megapixel camera with a Xenon flash.On most phones, the battery lives under a door on the back.
The back comprises the camera on the K850i, and is not removable. Instead, the battery loads via a door on the bottom edge, similar to slim point-and-shoot cameras .The SIM and memory cards also load here,and you need not remove the battery to swap a memory card. Also on the bottom edge, beside the battery door you’ll find the Sony Ericsson Fast Port connector for the charger and headphones.
