Sony Ericsson K850i and W910i video previews
Here are two hands on preview clips done by xumdeo. These are by far the best clips of the K850 and W910 I have seen so far. The W910 clip demonstrates the accelerometer function. The other clip is of the K850 and is the longest clip of the phone currently (it's almost 3.5 minutes long). Thank you xumdeo for the clips, info and your insight! Here is what he had to say about the K850 over at Esato:
K850i
clearing up the queries first:
1. QVGA 30fps video recording, confirmed
2. the camera lens protector is actually BEHIND the piece of glass (a surface you can wipe with your cloth), so you won't be wiping dust directly onto the lens
keypad: the alphanumeric keys work fine, it's easier to type than the N73 or 6300. feels similar to the one on T650. the d-pad is a bit clumsy, but once you get used to the position, it's actually faster than using the joy stick, especially when texting.
the 3 soft keys are NOT backlighted, they are a bit tough to press on (similar to W850's d-pad, if you find that ok, then the k850 is ok as well.
new media screen: here's to compete with Nokia really, expect a PSP/PS3-esque browsing experience, no problem at all music player: it's not walkman, so no megabass, minus the full screen visualizations, it's really really close to the w960, so if you don't need megabass, the k850 works just as well as a music device (yes, flight mode, of course)
camera: frame refresh rate, focus speed are all comparable to the k800i, i.e. great. a full 5MP pic takes 2-3 seconds to save, which is pretty alright for a phone. we didnt test the pic quality since it is a proto, it is unfair to do that. you can check other sites for that.
accelrometer, yes, this is especially useful for viewing pictures, if you tilt the phone, the menu (PSP esque cross menu) will also tilt. very handy
