I've been looking at phones lately and this phone caught my eye but was high on price so I can't even consider it. We can all dream right. First off if you wear tight jeans don't consider this phone as if you can see in the picture, the butt end of the phone sticks out which might get painful after awhile. The W850 is a medium sized phone with dimensions of 10cm by 5cm by 1.5cm with a weight of 94g. The screen resolution is great at 240x320 pixels considering the battery time is amazing with 370 hours of standby time and 9 hours of talk time. The joystick is an important part of the phone and it lives up to it's standards being just firm enough to not be flimsy. It also doubles as not only a 5-way joystick but also as walkman controls.
There are some cool physical applications including a pedometer, a track and field manager which tracks how many medals you earned, plus a neat application that tells you how much you have to walk to get to another city. The Walkman is top notch as well as the sound quality but still not as good as a regular mp3 player when it comes to menu changing. There are lights as well on each side that flicker on and off in tune with the music that is playing. A cool feature on this phone is the FM Radio which tells you which song you are listening to based on the tempo/rhythm. I might buy it just for that. Java Apps can be opened in numbers on this phone (6) until the phone performs slower with the new app-switching facility. The camera software is also great and easier to use. Don't expect though to get great pictures with this phone as there is no autofocus and flash light and the pictures are displayed in worse technology than what the cell phone is capable of which is QVGA size and MP4 video.
Overall the pros of this phone are the Bluetooth 2.0, QVGA screen, great usable software, and EDGE. The cons however are crappy camera, video records on 3G and QCIF, difficult to remove battery door, flimsy numeric pad.
