It's a tri-band phone with a 3.2 megapixel camera with flash, video recorder and player, web browser, java game player, and a stereo mp3 player with 2 tiny speakers. This phone has an image editor for your pictures, photo caller ID, bluetooth connection, and you can view photos and video clips from your phone directly on your TV. With 75 MB internal memory and a 128 MB mini SD card included, there is lots of memory available (although I upgraded to a 1 GIG mini SD card). Samsung even includes an extra battery with the phone and you may need to carry it with you if you use all of the phone's features. A USB cable and software to transfer files comes with the phone. It is also capable of sending emails and mutimedia message service.
The P850 appears to be a normal flip phone until you open it and spin the screen 180 degrees and close it. Then it becomes a camera or camcorder with a fairly large, easy to see screen which is also your viewfinder. The camera has a lens cover which is tethered to the phone.
Telephone reception is equal to my RAZR in all respects. The mp3 player is great when you use the included earbuds but the speakers sound a little tinny when the volume is high. Currently I have about 200 songs on the memory card. Pictures are clear as long as you remain still when taking them and there is plenty of light. The camcorder works flawlessly and you can record up to 1 hour before the battery dies. The ringtones are the loudest of any phone I've owned. File transfer is fast and simple through the USB port or bluetooth connection.
This phone is not available in the US so you must purchase it from a third party vendor such as Amazon or Plemix or Overstock. Verizon has a similar phone available but I believe that it doesn't contain all of the features of the P850. Since it is fairly rare, it has become a conversation piece and many people have stopped me and asked questions about it.
