Sony Ericsson takes digital imaging in camera phones to new heights today with the launch of the K790 phones, the first handsets to carry the Cyber-shot brand, a true mark of imaging quality.

Both are highly capable mobile phones with integrated 3.2 Megapixel digital cameras with Autofocus, Xenon flash and BestPic - Sony Ericssons unique imaging technology that allows you to capture exactly the moment you desire. K790 combine advanced image capture capabilities with high speed data transfer, making them perfect tools for shooting and sharing high quality pictures and videos.



The handsets have a classic Sony Ericsson design, with a large screen and responsive, tactile keypad with a sleek and stylish dual front phone design. Turn the phones horizontally and there you have a digital still camera. Simply slide the active lens cover downwards and a user interface similar to that of a Cyber-shot camera automatically appears.






The superb technology within the K790 deliver a new level of imaging quality in camera phones. High resolution, sharp, crisp images are guaranteed every time thanks to added features more common to standalone cameras. 3.2 Megapixel resolution with Auto Focus is just the start. The camera K790, like in any digital still camera, have a Xenon flash that gives sharp and colourful pictures even in the dark with red-eye reduction included. Also, the image stabilizer function compensates for the small hand movements that can make pictures blurred.

A completely new feature developed by Sony Ericsson is BestPic, which ensures that you never miss an important picture. Press the shutter button once and get 9 full quality 3.2 megapixel pictures to choose from in a time sequence 4 pictures before and 4 pictures after the actual image you captured. All 9 pictures are displayed as icons on the display. Simply scroll backwards and forwards through the 9 images and save the ones you like best.


The K790 offer full support for a complete digital imaging lifestyle. Printing is possible without the need for a PC thanks to PictBridge, a feature that transfers pictures directly to a printer by using a USB cable. Storing and managing image files on your PC are made easy with the supplied Adobe software, and the phones are among the first to feature fully integrated Picture Blogging Blogging is growing exponentially as a way of sharing personal experiences with words and images, and Picture Blogging in K790 allows users to create and update personal blogs directly from the phone in just a few clicks.
