its a SONY ! .... my new year resolution (2048 x 1536)

fnially i made up my mind and bought new SONY Ericsson K790i its one of the best camera phones that exist today. it was also featured in Casin Royale (that was special edition K800i though). it has got SONY Cybershot digital camera with 3.2 megapixel ... picture quality is awesome. you can view some samples on my flickr stream. it has got almost all the functions of a (basic) digital camera like auto focus, macro mode, scenes, stabilizer, panaroma, red eye reduction and blah blah blah .... best of all it has real xenon flash (unlike LED flash with many mobile cams). it also comes with BestPic feature whereby it takes around 9 shots in 1 second and then you can pick the best picture (moment) it is useful when the object is moving. you can even moblog (publish on blog) the pictures instantly.

it also has e-mail , RSS feeds , good quality web browser and PlayNow (whereby you can download the track information given a piece of track). i am not too mobile savvy so i really havnt configured GPRS or any net connetcion ... i can simply manage with the bluetooth. Both USB and bluetooth are of version 2 which means lesser transfer time. it also comes with EDGE. its always better to get as many features as you can ;)

the display is quite cool and stylish as well. it comes with very vibrant colors. looks like i can market this thing easily ;) (if i had to). But on the downside, the menu is not very user friendly i guess that goes for most of the SONY phones. also i had heard that the earlier models had problems with the joystick in the long run (i just hope this one doesn't have any :) ) i miss my nokia badly. this was one of the main reasons why i was not very keen on buying SONY phones. they should seriously consider putting some time designing user-friendly menus. Nokia rocks in that area. another thins is it can certainly play music but it doesn't belong to the walkman series (alas) ... i wish it did. the sound quality is not all that great. when you put on the speakers the voice really cracks ... the maximum volume level is also quite low. you really dont feel the vibe whatsoever. but then its not that bad either. and you get decent sound with the earphones plugged in.

the memory stick is again unique M2 micro which is not so common / popular. also the size is very less just 64MB (of course it is expandable) but when you see the camera in action, it RULES.

so it basically is a digital camera with phone ;)

and with 3.2 MP, my new year resolution is gonna be 2048 x 1536 ;)
happy clicking.

wish you all a very happy and a prosperous new year.
