Basically the touch sensitive buttons dont work at times, and thats really annoying!
so my first plan is to debrand the firmware and hope that will work...
if not what else is out there???

I dont like the n95, its too fat
viewty isnt too bad, but its not very mature in terms of firmware, doesnt have themes etc.....

So what else is there? or what else is coming out soon.....
when is the next k900 or whatever due anyway?

Come of it Plankgtan your probably the only one thats fully happy with it. The fact is that it is full of faults and its image quality is nowhere near as high as it should have been. Even the W890 takes more colourful pics.

Anyway to the original poster perhaps wait for the G900? Should be the same price as k850 is now.

No its 5MP. Video is as good as on the k850 and it features a better AF system which you can define the focus point.

were talking about mobile phones not digi cams it's common sense not madness read here http://www.6mpixel.org/en/ and learn high-end cam phones normally have a 1/2,8"" sensor size.

Exactly its a mobile phone so there is no need to downstep is there? May aswell just go for 5mp.

Plus with G900 you get WIFI ect...

why would i waste such money on a k850 when i have a k800 it's stupid due to cheap sensors & lens you don't get 5mp of details, 5megapixels is just a marketing thing.

Thanks LuciPower. I really dot understand the depths people will stoop to lol

Oh yeah and video on k800 sucks. QVGA 30fps is just right for on screen viewing but QCIF is a joke.

i found a way to get better pics with my k800i without spending loads of money on a new phone my homemade camdriver easily produces better colour & perfect exposure time and didn't cost me a penny.
