Even if you are not an expert photographer, the K850 does everything to help you get the best possible shots on your phone. Photo fix automatically improves light balance in one click to make your picture as good as it can get. When taking a picture of a moving object, for example at a sports event, you can select BestPic™ and take nine pictures in one burst. Then simply choose the best and delete the rest.

Beautifully simple - Increased functionality does not mean increased complexity. When in camera mode the K850’s next generation camera menu makes it intuitive to scroll between functions like shoot mode and picture size. The lens cover retracts automatically with one press of the camera button and a new mode selector lets you switch quickly between camera, video and picture viewing modes. The regular phone keyboard also has a dual purpose; switch to camera mode and illuminated icons indicate which keys act as short-cuts for the digital Zoom and other functions.

Easy to access - Beyond the camera, the K850 is a capable multimedia phone.

Picture blogging and video blogging allow you to upload your shots and footage at HSDPA speeds to your own blogsite.

Easy to pair - Given the premium look of the K850 Cyber-shot™ phone, you will want to match it with an accessory that looks just as good. Announced today as an optional accessory, the Bluetooth™ Headset IV840 fits discretely and securely into your ear. This high-performance headset can leave you handsfree for up to 9 hours of talking.

Nokia E51 Delivers what it promises

So Nokia has launched another mobile into the ever expanding mobile market and this time it seems to have finally pleased more people than usual. The Nokia E51 is a very simple phone and unlike most other cell phones, does not promise to bring the best of everything. Modern day mobile has become more than a simple device that connects people. It now has to offer different features to people whose interests vary widely. With E51, Nokia has kept it very simple by trying to produce an excellent business phone which is not at the high end of the market.

For starters, the E51 looks not too attractive and it’s very simple ‘candy bar’ look is more boring than classy. What makes it more ungainly is the fact that its bright five-centimeter screen is almost as large as the keyboard and makes it look very odd. While some might agree on the design as it is basically aimed at being a business phone, still it is no excuse for being so ‘lazy’ on the design. In this time and age, design sells and Nokia maybe should take a leaf out of Sony Ericsson’s book there.

The keys on the phone are slightly flusher to the fascia than other Nokia mobiles but benefit from a subtle camber and excellent tactile response. There are also handy shortcut keys to browse your email, calendar and address book, and the “home” key has been assigned the more sensible and familiar icon of a house. Nothing much to rave about; but nothing to complain about either. Nokia looks solid as always.

The E51 has built-in Wi-Fi connection and is very good with all the business features. Sure they have put in a mandatory MP3 player with a 256 MB MicroSD card but again that is just an added incentive. It has a poor 2 mega pixel camera and with no front camera there is not possibility of two-way video calls. The E51 might be value for money at $679 for some, but I really do not still get what all the fuss is about. If you are looking for a fun phone, do not even consider it. If you want a cool looking phone, even then forget about this one. If you want a business phone, then maybe you can take a look at it. I’m just not very impressed with the E51 despite it having delivered what it promised - a simple phone for business needs. But I’m sure opinions vary on that.
