Is the 850i just better because it has a 5.0 mp camera over the 890's 3.2?

w series = music 
K series= camera 
 
W890 is a much better phone IMO 
K850 is bulky ugly and touch screen is a bit poo. 
 
W890 is by no means anything groundbreaking or new, so long as it proves reliable itl be a good allrounder

I like the way photos flips when you rotate the 850 though. My mate was demonstrating on Friday!

im gonna get the 890, but mainly cause ive heard there are so many problems with the 850. two of my mates had them and theyve both gone wrong within 3 months   
 
only annoying thing about the 890 is no flash argh!

Need to phone up and see what I can get. You can't check online. I don't use the music player and always take pictures of everything, I really do take photos of everything!   
 
I like the brown though   ( )

I went for the K850 - I normally stick to the W range, after having my K850 for a while I wish I'd of stuck with the W series tbh

just got my w890i, lovin it atm   
 
cnet say: "The Sony Ericsson W890i will go down in the mobile phone history books as one of Sony Ericsson's best handsets ever. The combination of solid features with a solid, slim casing works a real treat.  
 
Certainly, the W890i has its flaws -- the camera isn't perfect and could certainly do with a flash, and it would be good if the phone had Wi-Fi. For what it is, though, the handset performs really well. If you're after a more business-centric phone then there's the similarly featured Nokia E51. As Walkman phones go, we dare say this is the best one yet."

Got it, buttons are are bit shit   Touch screen seems a bit hit and miss too. 
 
And why is it when ever I've changed my phone and it says copy all sim information over it never works!
