Sony Ericsson Camera Phones Join Cyber-Shot Range

Two new Sony Ericsson mobile phones will be released under the Cyber-Shot range. Pretty interesting as the Cyber-Shot range has previously only been for cameras. The phones are the Sony Ericsson Cyber-Shot K800 and K790. Both feature 3.2-megapixel cameras, Xenon flash, AF, a 2.0-inch display, PictBridge, 64MB embedded memory, photo-blogging (with Blogger).16x Digital Zoom (sadly no optical zoom) and BestPick feature which takes 9 photos in a row and allows you to choose the best one. The phones also come with a full HTML browser and RSS readers. Talk about features! Shipping should begin in Q2 2006.
