Sony Ericsson gets official on the W910 and K850

For you Walkman / Cyber-shot buffs out there who've been dying to get your hands on some new phoneage -- look no further. The Sony-Ericsson dreamteam have just announced the official release of two of its new mobile phones sure to have player haters... um, player hating. The W910, which we took a look at back in June, apparently has music-playin' on its mind, though with HSDPA, a 1GB Memory Stick, and its "shake" feature (which allows you to jostle the device to switch songs or randomize playback), you might find other uses for it. If you're more of an Ansel Adams-type, you can get your mitts on the K850, a camera-minded phone that's got a considerable 5-megapixel camera (with a Xenon flash / video light), has more of that beloved HSDPA, and can do 30fps video -- if that's your thing. Both of these sweet babies will be available in "selected markets" this month, no word on price.

What's the deal with the keypad on that bottom one? Were they trying to replicate the buttons on the side of digital watches from the 80's? My thumbs hurt just looking at it.

As an owner of the k800. You'll be thankful for these new buttons, no matter how ugly they are. The jog-dial on my k800 doesn't click left, and only selects items on the second down press. The keypad is a nightmare, but since my jog-dial doesn't work correctly -- that keypad is like my best friend.

Taking pictures is insane, because the camera buttons don't press, the first or the second time. However, on the third try (If everyone is still posing for you), it works.

But I LOVE that phone. Obviously, since I broke all the damn buttons. I will be the first one in line for the SE K850 phone (iPhone my ass).
