Sony Ericsson has broadened the limits of mobile technology with the latest addition to the Cyber Shot line, the Ki. This cutting edge mobile not only has one of the best cameras on the market and all the latest features, the Ki boasts a sleek, more compact design than its predecessors and is sure to turn heads.

Not a traditional candy bar phone, the Ki will fit comfortably in your hand or your pocket. The black casing gives the phone a sophisticated look, while the bright, incandescent trim emphasizes the Kis trendy, modern features. Available in either luminous green or velvet blue, the glowing trim highlights the middle section of the phone and lights the navigation pad as well.

The navigation pad also features a new design compared to the Ki and the Ki. Instead of the troublesome joystick many users struggled with on early models, the Ki features an actual pad that is much easier to use. Unfortunately, Sony Ericsson positioned the navigation pad in a rather odd location, slightly overlapping the number keys, so it still poses some difficulty. The keypad itself is attractive and functional, but the buttons are small and flat, making usage awkward for larger fingers.

Once you become accustomed to the keys and the clumsy navigation pad, the Ki is flawless. It looks terrific, with a unique design that demands attention. The . inch high resolution display screen is composed of scratch resistant material for extended durability and this is truly the mobile phone that does it all. The Ki is the first G cyber shot handset and features a music player that rivals those found on walkman phones.

The Ki is one of the only megapixel camera phones currently available and could easily replace your dedicated digital camera. The Ki features a X digital zoom that doesnt lose quality, auto focus, and a Xenon flash for great pictures in any light conditions. There is a convenient button on the side of the handset to set the camera mode and the integrated picture stabilizer yields superb quality in video and photos. The Ki also includes BestPic, which allows you to snap up to consecutive shots and select the best, a red eye reduction feature, and other fun imaging applications.

The music player is almost as impressive as the camera, with support for all major file formats and an FM radio. The included media manager software allows easy transfer of music and other media files between your phone and PC and the Ki features many of the same accessories as an Ericsson walkman phone, including PlayNow and TrackID. The sound clarity is amazing through both the speaker and optional wireless headphones. The Ki has MB of internal memory and is compatible with MicroSD memory cards, as well as high capacity Memory Sticks, expandable to GB.

The Kis G capabilities provide an excellent mobile internet experience. You can surf your favourite websites with a fast connection, quickly download ringtones, games, and other applications, and stay on top of the latest news through RSS feeds. The Ki also features push email for one touch messaging functions.

While the keys may be a bit fidgety, this minor flaw will be quickly forgotten once you discover all the things the Ki can do. Sony Ericsson has truly exceeded mobile expectations with this destined classic. The Ki is a fabulous handset that will not soon be surpassed.
