Samsung D900i is a upgraded version of its predecessor, the Samsung D900. But there is not extravagant marked difference between the two. The Samsung D900i only comes with subtle changes like an added FM radio and a sleek metallic finish to the slider body. The handset is slim offering a solid feel when held in hands.

In terms of features, the Samsung D900i lacks the 3G capability. Instead the handset offers quad band GSM. The call volume and voice clarity is good, and even in noisy environments, the Samsung D900i proved to be quite satisfactory. The handsfree of the Samsung D900i also works quite well, and it’s easily switched on during a phone call by pressing the OK button.

For imaging fun, the Samsung D900i comes empowered with a 3 MP camera. It includes auto focus, a flash, macro mode and 4x digital zoom. There is also a self portrait mirror and the ability to capture video in MPEG4 format. The camera has plenty of editing options including multi and mosaic shot modes, effects such as fog, antique and moonlight, 30 frame options and a three, five or 10 second self-timer. One can also adjust ISO and white balance settings. The camera quality is not great, but good enough for some happy snaps.

Like most Samsung phones, even the D900i’s is enabled with a user friendly user interface. Dubbed ‘uPlus’, the new, expanded interface offers intuitive navigation that responds to your environment. It responds to your location and time of the day. Another cool feature occurs when dialling a phone number; upon pressing a number key a paper and pen animation appears and begins to write the numbers as you press them - it even includes sound effects.

Other highlights of Samsung D900i includes mobile tracker, personalized Menu, Bluetooth, and the A2DP profile for wireless music streaming, MP3 player, standard POP3 and IMAP4 email access, SMS and MMS messaging with T9 predictive text input, polyphonic and a voice recorder. Battery life has been improved slightly, to 3.6 hours of talk time and up to 270 hours of standby times.

Sony Ericsson’s camera phone range has not only changed the dynamics of the market, but also revolutionised the way we imagine the capabilities of a camera mobile. In an effort to bring out nothing short of best, Sony Ericsson has consistently pushed the boundaries between mobile phones and standalone digital cameras. Be it the K750i’s auto focus, or K800i’s flash, the manufacture have made a special impact every time, they hit the road.

With this pedigree there is no wonder that the next in the line- Sony Ericsson K810i is endowed with some highly ace ergonomics and neat looks. The main difference between Sony Ericsson K810i and its predecessor is the design. Our new model comes with a glossy front section, just to ensure it is not left behind in the race of shiny fashion phones. Further, there is also a rather interesting keypad that features small circular silver keys.

Sony Ericsson K810i comes with a 3.2 MP camera – same as that of its predecessor. The camera also auto-focus and xenon flash. In terms of camera software, the Sony Ericsson K810i allows you to make videos as well, in addition to sending pictures to friends via MMS, email or blog them to a Blogger blog. Probably the only difference here is a feature called Photo Fix that automatically adjusts light balance, brightness and contrast.

Most of the other features of this handset is pretty straight forward. There’s Bluetooth and support for A2DP), 3G connectivity and infrared, a VGA camera for video calling, a competent MP3 player, an expandable Memory Stick Micro M2 slot, support for IMAP4 email accounts and POP3, an RSS feed reader, an FM radio and a Web browser. Sony Ericsson K810i comes through as a good device but there are some points to ponder. Unfortunately there is no 3.5mm headphone adaptor in the box, and neither are the innovative keys very friendly. Nonetheless in terms of camera phones, you have got a good deal here.

There has been a lot of speculation about Sony Ericsson’s reaction after the launch of a 5.0 megapixel camera phone from Nokia’s N series. After all, in the camera phone category, the only company that has posed serious challenge to Nokia’s domination is the Sony Ericsson. During the launch of N95, Sony Ericsson K810i was released without any improvement on the camera resolution as compared to its earlier model K800i/K790i.

Many criticized this move and even commented on Sony Ericsson loosing the race for the best camera phone to Nokia’s N series camera phones. With the release of the Sony Ericsson K850i – a CyberShot phone with a massive 5.0 megapixel camera, the company has put all such doubts to rest. The Sony Ericsson K850i represents the cream of our technology in mobile and digital imaging. Although it is very important to have a high resolution camera, there are many other criteria that are important to shoot a great picture or video.

The Sony Ericsson K850i has most of them. The handset boasts of autofocus, digital zoom, an automatic Xenon flash, three LED video light for recording at night and many more such aids. Select the best out of nine stills shot in quick succession with its BestPic feature or improve underexposed pictures instantly with Photo fix – the Sony Ericsson K850i is not just a camera, but a whole studio. The handset shoots videos at thirty frames per second – double than the industry norm of fifteen. You can upload the stills and videos that you have shot with the Sony Ericsson K850i using the handset’s preset for video and mobile blogging.

However, the Sony Ericsson K850i is not only about imaging. The handset is loaded with HSDPA technology that can achieve much higher data speed than 3G. From quad band GSM mobile network connectivity to GPRS, EDGE, Bluetooth and USB – the Sony Ericsson K850i is a master of both voice and data connectivity.
