How many of you guys have had the touch sensitive keys go dead?
I had mine die. For a while I resorted to removing the battery to get them back on but that became less reliable so I sent it for a repair. I had it loaded with unbranded firmware, even though my phone was branded voda, so I tried to put the voda firmware back on so as to not raise any warranty issues and the phone died completely. It wouldn't even turn on. They took it anyway and got the thing working again citing corrupt frmware as the cause of all the problems. Not had a problem with the touch buttons since.
off topic: I'm getting a viewty on Friday  yay!
So are keeping your K850 aswell as the Viewty?
BTW Viewty - excellent phone!!! I had one myself but lost it on a night out. Great quality pics, imo they render colours more naturally than even the N82 which is top of the pile for me. Also the video even spanks Nokias VGA 30fps. Best thing for me though is Div x codec built in.

I am trying to sync my K850 with the address book and calendar on my iBook with iSync but it says that the phone is not compatible and I can't find a plugin to rectify this. Anyone had any luck in this area?
Thanks in advance for your help

I use the plugin from here:

Works a treat.

Does the accelerometer work when you turn the phone clockwise. I've noticed that everyone in their videos turn it to their left.
By the way, I'm going to buy one tomorrow. |

Hi, the K850i has only just come out here in New Zealand (slow I know!) and I am beginning to be tempted by it. However it is $999 NZ which is a really high price for a phone here (N95 costs the same and is better featured).
Anyway, $999 NZ is roughly 405 Pounds and I am wondering how this compares to the prices you guys can get it for. This is for the phone not on contract. I just want to know whether it is very expensive everywhere, or us NZers are being taken for a ride.

Cheers for that guys.  I guess we (NZers) are being ripped off as usual!

You guys live on the other side of the world ... its almost another universe actually. I barely know much about NZ ... other than its a few thousand miles East of Australia, its 2 large islands and a very hot blond used to like me when I was a teenager (didn't date her because she didn't shave her hairy legs - probably just her though). STill why so late for that phone to be available in local cellular stores? Or just your providers there now launching it?

Try looking in the accessories section for advice on best compatable headphones or jack plugs.
