Sony Ericsson K790a Cyber-shot (Unlocked)

I've been a big fan of the Sony Ericsson W800i and W810i models. Im not usually a fan of soap-bar styled phones, but Sony Ericsson really takes it up a notch with their appealing designs and features. What you get is a quality and high performing cell phone with a sexy yet simple looking design. Expect nothing less from the new K790a and even a few nice upgrades. And like it's predecessors, expect an expensive price tag, this model at $500.

The K790a is Sony's first Cyber-shot branded phone and with good reason. It sports an unheard of 3.2MP for a cell phone. Not only that, it also sports a powerful Xenon flash that will flood even the dimmest and dark environments with light. Top it off with the same features found on a digital camera, a lens cover and a design that even looks like a digital camera from the back.

What good is a camera that takes great pictures without a great display? The K790a sports a brilliant 262,144-color 240x320 pixel display. This means sharp and vibrant pictures as well excellent graphics and animation (games look top notch).

The K790a also sports a digital music player similar to that of the Walkman branded phones, with the same use but slightly different layout. Like the Walkman branded phones, expect crisp and clear MP3 playback and many different controls. Phone also plays MP3 ringtones. Also features an FM tuner, which you can use if you've purchased the headset accessory, which acts as the antenna.

Shared internal memory is only 64MB, so it would be a good idea to get a larger Memory Stick Micro to store more photos, music and other information.

Sony Ericsson has done a splendid job creating this all-in-one phone. Not only is it a cell phone, it comes with a sharp digital camera and a high quality MP3 player. So $500 doesn't seem so bad to invest now, does it?
