The groundbreaking K790a from Sony Ericsson combines a Cyber-shot digital camera and a small and sophisticated mobile phone that supports EDGE high speed data networks. But the real story here is the K790i’s amazing a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus, a built-in xenon flash and image and video stabilizer functions that keep you ready for any moment, anytime. Other features include Bluetooth, a gorgeous color screen, an FM radio, an advanced mobile Web browser, and PictBridge-compliant printing.

Design
The K790a follows a long tradition of beautifully designed and crafted phones from Sony Ericsson. The same candy-bar style that graces other high-end Sony Ericsson phones is here, as is the horizontally-oriented camera unit on the back of the phone, allowing you to hold the phone just as you would a camera when you’re taking pictures. The K790a’s two-inch screen sports a whopping 240×320 pixel resolution with support for 262,000 colors. Quick access buttons below the screen make it easy to control the phone’s most important features, while a five-way center button controls most of the phone’s menus and features. There’s also a port for the phone’s included stereo headset, and USB and infrared data ports are provided, as well. The phone supports USB mass storage so you can simply plug the phone into your computer and drag and drop music files into the phone’s memory using the included Disc2Phone PC application. Moving your photos is easy, too, thanks to high-speed USB. The K790a contains 64 MB of embedded memory and a Memory Stick Micro slot is provided, giving you the big storage capacity you need for photos, music, and more.

Calling Features
The K790a’s phone book can hold all your important contacts with multiple entries per contact. A call list remembers your most recent missed, received and dialed calls, and the phone’s voice activated dialing makes calling your contacts as easy as saying their names. Meanwhile, a built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear. Polyphonic ringtones are included and you can also use MP3 and AAC music files as ringtones. A cool application called Music DJ even lets you mix your own ringtones. Picture caller ID lets you assign a photo to specific callers. Similarly, a ringer ID lets you assign ringtones to callers. For those times you want to keep things discreet, there’s a vibrate ringer mode. And because the K790a is Bluetooth-enabled, you can use a variety of headsets and handsfree kits for total wireless freedom when you’re on the go. The phone even supports stereo Bluetooth headsets.
