The W850 is really nice, the color too - charcoal grey . . . I'm just curious if this is 's FIRST sliding fone The S700i is a SWIVEL one and not a SLIDING . .. . [addsig]

@bagli - But that is already a 2 MP camfone - right? So, we can EXPECT almost the same sharpness (images taken) with that of the K750/W800/W810i/K610/K618i etc. [addsig]

I thought the same...bu if you see w850 pics....you'll see that they are much worse

It's not a good buy, when the camera is important, W850i doesn't have autofocus, this surely makes a difference !

Read my post...as a walkman ( if you dont need too high storage) and as a phone w850 is outstanding...but camera has quality is no very good...

If you dont really care about pics...then I think is the best buy

The W850 reminds me of the W550. Very solid build quality and I really like the sliding design. The camera could have got higher resolution and autofocus. I am also missing a lens protection. One thing you can't say about some other models is that the W850 acctually capture the picture when you press the shutter button. Thumbs up for the quality display and large number keys. The Walkman app is simple and intuitive. The included 1GB Memory Stick Duo card should be enough for a couple of melodies

Well, as SE now has Cyber-shot and Walkman series, I can understand why W850i has no 3.2 megapixel cam, but they shouldn't have left out autofocus.

@marly - But my K618i back then has NO - autofocus too, but sure it captures SHARP - outdoor images, poor on interior shots though . . .
So, the W850i is 's SLIDING fone? The W550i is a SWIVEL one too
