The included NetFront browser offers a robust mobile Web experience. </td></tr> </table> 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 240x320 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.

Messaging, Internet, and Tools
If you're looking for a mobile productivity partner, the K790a has you covered. Support is built in for sending and receiving pictures, text, graphics, and sound via MMS messages. When used in combination with the phone's built-in still and video camera, MMS opens up a whole new world of messaging possibilities. You can even edit up your video clips with the included VideoDJ application. The phone also ships with a built-in email client with support for POP3, IMAP4 and SMTP protocols, while the included Access NetFront Web Browser allows you to surf full HTML web sites. T9 text entry, a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit-- a plus for mobile email and text messaging users.

Getting on the Internet is easy with the K790a, as it supports the GPRS protocol, as well as the high speed EDGE data protocol. When used with your carrier data plan and the phone's Bluetooth or USB data capability, the phone can be used as a wireless modem for laptops and PDAs.

A number of handy software tools are bundled with the K790a, including a voice memo recorder, a to-do list, a calculator, a calendar and an alarm clock. The phone also supports the SyncML PC synchronization standard, which lets you synchronize your PC-based calendar, contacts, notes and tasks with your K790a.

Imaging and Entertainment
The big story about this phone is, of course, the camera. At 3.2 megapixels, it can produce incredible images, but the real advantage comes from the camera's autofocus, which allows you to take crisp pictures at varying distances from your subjects. The camera also features an image and video stabilizer compensates for any small movement of your hand when you're taking a picture and shooting video. Meanwhile, a built-in Xenon flash helps you get great results in all kinds of lighting situations.

There's also a unique feature called BestPic that lets you capture several images in quick succession with one press of the camera key. BestPic lets you pick the best and delete the rest. Dedicated controls on the side of the device will make you forget you're holding a phone in your hand, and when you're ready to share your gorgeous images, you can print them wirelessly via Bluetooth, or via USB, on a PictBridge-capable printer. Sony Ericsson also provides a free picture blogging feature, which allows you to upload pictures from your phone to a place where all your friends and family can view them online.

The K790a is also a great music phone. Load up your favorite songs in MP3 or AAC format on a memory card and listen to your heart's content. The user-friendly music player application makes it easy to organize and enjoy your tunes. There's even an FM radio for catching the big game or your favorite stations.

And what about gaming? This phone is definitely geared for the mobile fun fanatic, as it supports widescreen and 3D games. The K790a comes preloaded with several games and more are downloadable from Sony Ericsson.

Vital Statistics
The Sony Ericsson K790a weighs 4.1 ounces and measures 4.1 x 1.8 x .9 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 7 hours of digital talk time, and up to 350 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/1800/1900 frequencies. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.

Best Phone I've ever used..... if only it were shaped like the StarTec.......2007-06-08

You all remember the StarTek; back in the late 90s it was THE flip phone. Since then no flip phone has ever been the same; I can't flip any of them with one hand with a flicking motion without thinking they'll fly against the wall.

Since then, I have only gotten bar phones. This one is the best I've used, of any type of phone. Firstly, I love how Sony Ericcson's handle phonebooks; I don't know why but I like it. When Motorolas read my sim card they screw it up and don't read each contact's numbers as a group, they give each number an individual entry. I also think SEs have the sexiest fonts and graphics.

The thing I like best about this phone is definately the fact that I can hook it up to my computer (it comes with a usb cable, separate from the charging cable, and a 50some MB memory card for starters; it can hold a lot though obviously it's not a portable hard drive but you can buy up to 2 GB so far, higher when you can buy the recently announced 4 GB card) and transfer images, videos, mp3s, and other files to/from the phone. That means I can make custom backgrounds, ringtones, alerts (video, image, or audial) on my computer and then put them on my phone without being charged for sending over the cell networks. Also, it has bluetooth and infrared, though I don't have any other devices that use these communication protocols.

The real highlight of the phone, besides the fact that it doesn't drop calls ever, is the camera. 3 Megapixels is about the best you can get without buying from Asia and the quality is great. It's true, at night in large spaces where the light can't reflect back, some residuals show up as artifacts (discolorations) but not enough to detract from all the rest of the features. I feel like my phone's camera has more features than a real digital camera costing $600+. I'm gonna turn it on and try to cover them all:
There is a 'frame' feature which puts preset cartoony drawings on the screen and then you take a picture that will show up behind it (like an astronaut suit.... so any picture you take will have an astronaut suit overlayed on top of it; it's a good gimmick for kids). There is a panoramic feature: you take 3 pictures from left to right and the camera will merge them for you. There is a feature called 'best pic' which is for drunk or motion pictures: the camera takes 9 pictures very quickly and you can check through all of them to see which ones you want to save. There are also tons of lighting, stability, and other options that I don't use because I trust the automatic settings (they have worked great so far). My favorite options are the effects: color, black and white, negative, orangey (like old-fashioned photos), and overexposed (like a painting). You can take videos in any one of these modes. The video of my girlfriend dancing naked around a pole with black stalkings and heels is the best video i've ever seen; it was taken in negative mode and her stalkings are white, her skin is blue, her hair is white, and so is her private area... it looks like the gates of heaven.

After you take photos/videos, you can also edit them. You can zoom in/out and resave the picture, rotate it, add even more effects, overlay text, combine effects, you can trim videos. The only downside is, when I converted movie files from my computer to 3gp format and put them on my phone, I couldn't edit them in the on-phone video editor because they were too long. I can do that on my computer though; I was just too impatient.

Also, the screen is large and quality; my friend asked me if this is high def. and I regularly jerk it to porn that I'm viewing on the phone. There is plenty of free software available from sony that you can download to the phone (some of which allows you to change the colors of menus, fonts, etc). Other features I like: mp3 player, fm radio player, tons of accessories you can buy. I have owned the phone for a month and a half, have been playing with it constantly, and I am still finding new features.

People also like my phone; when I tell them it is so new that Cingular didn't know it existed when I called to verify that it'd work on their network (it does even though they said it wouldn't) and that the only place that sells it is amazon.com, I wonder if they are impressed. I think they are; I am.

It sucks to have to pay $370 for a new phone but, screw it, when they release an even cooler phone that Cingular knows about, I will get that and sign up for the 2 year agreement.

I'd bet that anyone who has the insight to buy this phone won't be disappointed.

Excellent phone with lots of features.......2007-05-31

-A large, bright, clear and crisp display with wallpaper animation.
-Supports Bluetooth, infra-red, USB for device connectivity.
-A 3.2 mega pixel camera with xenon flash and 16x digital zoom (it's amazing) , also has features like red-eye reduction and auto focus.
-Great sound, FM radio and walk-man are also nice.
-Good battery life.
-Comfortable key-pad for dialing.
-Has RSS feeds (get news in your phone as it happens) and other basic features like web browsing, alarm, calendar, calculator, email, SMS etc etc.
-Phone is slightly bulky and weighs approximately 4.1 oz but that alright because the extra features outweigh the size.
-Call quality is very good and clear with almost negligible static and interference from other electronic devices.
-The only thing this phone lacks is quad-band support. For the features/cost ratio, this phone is great! So far the best in the market.. Couldn't ask for more!

Love this cellphone.......2007-05-30

So far I still like this phone. I have not seen yet my next phone after this one. I like everything about it except I still can't open "Memory Stick Micro" slot I am afraid to pry it open. So anyone can help I appreciate it

Excellent Phone, Excellent Service.......2007-05-26

Like many people, I was looking for a phone that played music, took great photos and had good organizational features. I had previously purchased a W300i and was pleased with it. The phone and MP3 player were great, but the camera and organizer were terrible. I started looking at reviews of various phones and the Sony Ericsson K790A kept on appearing at the top of all the reviews.

I purchased the phone from Amazon.com. It arrived the next day, was in perfect condition and had all the pieces it was supposed to. I thought the entire purchasing experience was great.

The phone has exceeded my expectations. The first thing you notice is the weight of the thing; it has a weight that you would associate with a high quality device. The next thing you notice is the fit and finish; the phone has build quality higher than anything I have ever seen. The phone actually looks better in person than in the pictures. And this is just the beginning.

The feature list of this phone is incredible but if they don't work well, then they just become gimmicks. With the Sony Ericsson K790A, that is not the case. The first thing you notice is the screen. I have never seen a screen as crisp and rich as this.

The camera is great. It won't replace a dedicated camera, but for taking quick snaps when about town, you can't beat it. The images are easily printable to 4x6 with good results.

The MP3 player is great, music is easily transferred to the phone, and you can create playlists right on the phone with ease. Some people say they don't like the fact there is no Mega Bass like the Walkman phones, but I don't find this an issue. The audio quality is great.

The organizer was a huge surprise. You can sync your calender, contacts and task lists with outlook. Reminders for tasks and calender appointments pop up, just like outlook.

You also have the abiltiy creat shortcuts to various settings and features of the phone. I am surprised how much I use this feature.

This is easily the best phone I have ever owned, Period.

Great phone..........2007-05-25

This is a great phone overall, it's downfall is the video quality, or lack thereof. The still pictures are very good for a camera phone, but the video is that of a first gen phone, even in "high quality" mode.
After about 2 months of ownership, my navigation stick has started messing up. Whenever I want to move "down", the stick thinks I pressed "in"...which is VERY frustrating when navigating any menu or website. It's sporadic, but is common enough to warrant repair.
