I won a Prize at the Sony Ericsson K850i Launch Today

I received an email from Sony Ericsson on 10 November with the subject line claiming that the Sony Ericsson K850i is Here!! (as in, in Malaysia!)

So i was greatly disappointed when i checked at 5 handphone retail counters including a Sony Centre, and they all claimed that the K850i was not available at Malaysia yet. But i kept telling them i receieved this email on the 10th!!

Anyway ..... today i realized that indeed the phone only debut in Malaysia TODAY! Sony Ericsson had a launch for the K850i at Suria KLCC concoure area.

I was glad that i managed to try and handled the real K850i and not those plastic toys that they put on display. The phone was rather heavy, thicker than the usual - due to the 5 megapixels camera phone. But it has this super sleek finish and this amazing luminous green line or velvet blue (if you opt for the other color) running thru the side of the phone casing. I don't really fancy the velvet blue color, as is was rather dull. The green shines out!!

And the software that runs the phone is totally different. Sony Ericsson tried to keep the interface similiar with sone new canggih icons when you click on menu, but now you have a little portion on the base of the screen which is "Touch Screen"!! :)

What really shouts out loud on this phone is the 5 Megapixels Camera. Good quality photos with a Xenon Flash and what's more .... an auto rotate device that rotates the photos depending on how you hold the phone. Smart .....!! Very Smart!!!

The person who was trying very hard to sell me the K850i, said that i could only place my order for the phone today and collect it tomorrow. Otherwise I would have to wait at least a week, before the phone is available at a generic Mobile Phone Retail Outlet.

Okies okies ... you wanted to know how much right? The Sony Ericsson K850i cost RM2199 and all the throw in is a 512MB Memory Stick Micro (M2). Sigh... and i was hoping for a 1 or 2 GB card!

For that price, I believe what you are buying is 80% of having a good quality camera with you at all times, and a phone that can help you make calls and sms!! :)

Oh yes..... and as mentioned. The emcee at the Launch of the phone, was giving out some freebies. He asked his first question ... and i quickly rasied my hand in hope of winning something super duper from Sony Ericsson.

The question was rather easy :

Q: The K850i camera takes photos in how many Megapixels?

I walked straight up to the guy, with my hand raised and said ...

A: 5 Megapixels

Q: You sure its 5.0 megapixels

A: I said YES .. its 5 megapixels

And the emcee handed me this Sony Ericsson gift!! Happiness .. i WON!!

Can you make up what Sony Ericsson gave me for answering that totally difficult question?

They gave me a Sony Ericsson Post-it Pop Up Notes Dispencer!!!

So what do i do with it? Mebbe sell it on ebay for RM50!!!
