            <title>Sony Ericsson W850i Discussion Thread</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/363382</link>
            <description>&lt;img src='http://www.sonyericsson.com/images/spgd/GPD_33685high_1511_0_4000.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Overview&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;A Walkman(R) phone for your senses&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The W850i Walkman(R) phone takes you one step further in mobile music evolution. The design is triple-purpose - it&amp;#39;s a mobile phone, it&amp;#39;s a quality Walkman(R) player and it&amp;#39;s a camera. Yet it&amp;#39;s still sleek, elegant and compact. The W850i - a phone that touches your senses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Complete Walkman(R) kit&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everything you need for a quality mobile music experience is included in the W850i kit. A stereo headset and a 1GB Memory Stick PRO Duo(tm) with room for over 1000 songs*. A USB cable and music management software for easy transfer of music from CD to your phone via a PC. You organise and listen to your music with the Walkman(R) player 2.0. It&amp;#39;s all in the box.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Online music&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Walkman(R) player contains a direct link to an online music store. Search, browse and audition albums and tracks. Choose and download. The PlayNow(tm) service allows you to download even more music - plus games, videos, images and much more. Preview before you buy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Music recognition&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you&amp;#39;re listening to the radio and you hear a song you like but you don&amp;#39;t know what it&amp;#39;s called, ask TrackID(tm). Record a few seconds of the song and use TrackID(tm) to send the music for recognition. In seconds, you&amp;#39;ll have the name, artist and album in your phone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Cameras&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the W850i, you always have a camera at hand to catch that special moment. The 2.0-megapixel camera includes a 4x digital zoom and a horizontal user interface. The second camera sits above the phone screen and is used for video calls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;3G speed - plus internet and email&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Use the W850i&amp;#39;s 3G capabilities for fast downloads and video telephony. Browse the internet or get the latest news delivered directly to your phone via RSS feeds. The W850i also supports standard push email*, a solution that allows you to receive email straight to your phone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Specifications:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Key Features&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2&quot; clear color screen&lt;br /&gt;SMS, MMS and email messaging&lt;br /&gt;TrackID(tm) - music recognition&lt;br /&gt;Advanced Walkman(R) 2.0 music player&lt;br /&gt;2 megapixel camera with digital zoom&lt;br /&gt;3G Video call&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Screen:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;262,144-colour TFT&lt;br /&gt;240x320 pixel&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sound&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Music tones (MP3/AAC)&lt;br /&gt;Polyphonic Sounds 40 voices&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Memory&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Memory Stick PRO Duo(tm) support&lt;br /&gt;16 MB memory&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Networks&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GSM 900&lt;br /&gt;GSM 1800&lt;br /&gt;GSM 1900&lt;br /&gt;UMTS 2100&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Available Colours&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Precious Black&lt;br /&gt;Golden White&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Size&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 98 x 47 x 21 mm&lt;br /&gt; 3.8 x 1.8 x .8 inches&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Weight&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;116 g&lt;br /&gt;4.1 oz&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Package includes:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 x W850i handset&lt;br /&gt;1 x 1GB Sony/Sandisk Memory Stick Pro Duo&lt;br /&gt;1 x BST-33 Battery&lt;br /&gt;1 x HPM-70 Handsfree Earphone&lt;br /&gt;1 x USB Cable&lt;br /&gt;1 x Charger&lt;br /&gt;1 x Phone Manual&lt;br /&gt;1 x PC Suite Installation CD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Firmware Versions&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;R1GB001 (Current Firmware) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER BEGIN--&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;spoilertop&quot; onClick=&quot;openClose('fb5615234f7c7f5832870b84d56f093c')&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;raquo; Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... &amp;laquo;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;spoilermain&quot; id=&quot;fb5615234f7c7f5832870b84d56f093c&quot; style=&quot;display:none&quot;&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER END--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Official changelog:&lt;br /&gt;- Released in SE Service Centres around 15/12/06&lt;br /&gt;- Released on Wotan on 30/12/06&lt;br /&gt;- Released on SEUS (APAC) 3/1/07&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Improvements&lt;br /&gt;- Updated Video folder - video thumbnails now play when they are hovered over.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bug fixes&lt;br /&gt;- Thick black line flashes on screen at the start and end of video playback when playing video in Vertical mode through the File Manager now fixed.&lt;br /&gt;- Selecting More / Information on the Applications and Games folders no longer returns 0KB used and 0 files.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;New Bugs&lt;br /&gt;User Interface&lt;br /&gt;- Video preview can crash the phone if the video is encoded as high quality MP4.
