SE K850i

luminous green look awesome... any estimation over the k850's price when its released?

Hey, the K850 is the one with the capability to fill in the shadows of the pictures taken, right?

No idea how much it will cost, but I don't think it will be cheap. It's a Sony after all.

hhmm...5 megapixel...with this phone, who needs digital camera anymore? i think it's more like a camera with a phone function rather than a phone with camera function..

probably cost around 1.8 - 2.2k? maybe even more...

but what i notice is that SE always provide a good price/function ratio, compared to Nokia and Moto. definitely not Samsung.

K850 IMO is the most disappointing phone of SE. The so-called flagship phone which doesn't even have anything new other than useless 5MP sensor.

Since K800, SE hasn't offer anything new.

K750 - excellent camera, first proper MP3 phone with hotswappable card
K800 - better screen, xenon flash, 3G
K850 - other than HSDPA support, nothing else...

I think it has that shadows fill-in capability as its main selling point?

Shadow filling ability? I thought that's on the K810 or something according to the ads I saw in cinema? Seriously, it could have just been the flash, or the 'digital' lighting, ala shadow and highlight feature in photoshop.

Shadow fill as in like fill-flash you mean?

Yeah, sort of, but done via software.

Although I love SE phones, speedy operation, simple and useful functions, good battery life, but all the new models lately are tempting me to look elsewhere, even the 'coming soon' models are crap. Tons of interesting models from its competitors.

SE phones do have incredibly small keys.

Not very ergonomic, unless you have very small hands.
