Introduction

Editor's Choice

Sony has poured all of its multimedia know-how into the K790’s compact package, a template for other phone/camera/music player combinations. Most of all, this cell cam truly lives up to its Cyber-shot brand name. It produces the best pictures from a cell phone we've seen yet, with the best flash that we've seen in a cell cam and digital camera ergonomics that don't interfere with other operations. It's also packed with an excellent music player that has support for stereo Bluetooth. Best (and worst) of all, this is an unlocked phone, which means you can get the American (790a) or international (790i) version from Amazon or other non-carrier outlets. However, without a carrier subsidy, you'll pay somewhere near the $499.99 retail price.
