Sony Ericssons K850i and T650i

aaf

Any idea if and when these two phones are likely to hit the Irish market? I see you can get the T650i on expansys for the guts of €500 but I was thinking more along the lines of getting a subsidised phone on one of the network providers. Torn between these two phones. K850i has some really fantastic features, not least the Cybershot 5MP camera. The T650i is slim and has a good 3.2 MP camera. Both are 3G and have everything else you'd expect from a top of the range cutting edge phone.

The T650 has just been released on O2. I wouldn't mind getting a shot of the K850i.. wish someone would release that

Was tempted by the k850i, but looking at some of the comments on mobile-review.com has me in doubt. Apparently the camera is only a marginal improvement over the 800/810. Furthermore the price doesn't reflect the lack of features.

Some controversy as SE seem to have used images taken with a Samsung digital camera and tried to pass it off as the phones on their websites.

The K850i will be out on O2 in November, they have been "testing" it since July

W960i looks quite big to me.

Haven't researched it much but hopefully the issues are nothing that can't be fixed with firmware upgrades. The feature set does look tasty though especially, as I said before, the camera.

It's only something like 119g's :rolleyes:

In other words they still have f loads of 6230i's, k800's and 6233's left in their inventory and the average irish punter thinks these are state of the art and are prepared to pay ridiculous contract prices in return for terrible subsidys.

November would probably be right if not latter.... stuff on o2 always got delayed whilst i was working for them................

W960 is scheduled for a quarter 4 release meaning its going to be at least two to three months after it launches on the rest of the european networks.....
