It’s holiday season and that’s the right time to get a new camera phone. If you can afford it, you should go for the handset with 5 megapixel camera and a Xenon flash. Two devices come to mind instantly – Sony Ericsson K850i and Nokia N82. While the former is certainly easier to carry around…
Sony Ericsson patents Clock Display
Recently we’ve spotted Sony Ericsson’s patent that deals with a clock display.
