 "The first time we saw W850 it was in the popular "Da Vinci code" movie even before the handset itself was announced. The strangest thing was that it was not used as a Walkman music player but purely for it web browser capabilities. We suppose it should say something about the versatility of the device.
When it comes to functionality, the Sony Ericsson is almost identical to K800 and as long as the manufacturer is concerned, both would be positioned in the same price class. So good things don't come cheap, as you would see. And W850 is really a nice handset features and performance-wise - it boasts all the treats for the music-loving Walkman die-hard fan. In fact, it comes in two versions, just as K800 does. The only difference between the twins W850 and W830 are the available connectivity options. While W850 comes with GPRS/UMTS networks support along with video calls, just as K800, the Sony Ericsson W830 comes packed with GPRS/EDGE networks support only, just as K790 does.
The slight difference though is that W850 is now available, while we are still waiting for W830 to hit the market. Anyway, bear in mind that we are talking about identical mobiles and this review holds true for both of them.
So let's get back to our review. The Sony Ericsson W850 is available in two color flavors - one in matt black and one in pearl white. The one we got to test was the dark variant." Read this big review here:
