I'm really attracted to K850i when I first saw it in the newspaper, then I bought it.
Several weeks later I realized that I don't like the touch buttons, the glossy finish and the placement of the camera along with the flash. But I also realized that Xenon flash is really really important in cameraphones. I am now somewhat satisfied with my K850 as the pictures with modded camdriver are now excellent(still not perfect though )

The main problem with the K850i except the bugs and constant crashing was the design of the phone, it's absolutely disgusting.
Where do I start?
Is it the tacky, cheap looking silver plastic sides?
The stupid square navigation button that replaces the joystick?
The silly little lip running all round the edges that got easily damaged?
Or was it the fact you only had to sneeze on it and it got scratched?
For me it's been the worst and most disappointing phone I ever owned, and yes I've owned a few Nokias! Haha.
My fav phone of all time design wise, is probably the T68i, that phone was a work of art and should be re-born with modern technology!
My current phone is a C905, it's the best SE phone I've owned since P910i, and there's been a lot inbetween such as P1i, K800i, K810i, K850i then the C902.
The K800i and C902 were also great phones in my opinion.
My dream phone would be the Xperia or the Idou when it finally arrives but times are hard so I'll have to wait!

The W710 is a phone that if you get used to you can love a lot even with those sports things.
The W900 is a brick but was a monster of a phone back then.
The W760 has the worst effing speakers ever.
And dont ever trust a C905.
Also if its not SE its not functional. For me at least i mean i love the UI!

Forgot to mention,i realised SE make the best looking phones, although the C905 is a bit of an exception. I love the K850 design, its so compact, lite and real nice to hold, and it looks very techie, it looks a lot like a K750 on steriods lol.

You must be using a different K850 to the one in the UK then cos damn that thing is ugly. It's clearly the worst designed phone ever for the reasons I mentioned above, it only looks brand new for a day then it starts getting micro scratches all over and the paint on the buttons start peeling off. Yukk.
I don't know anyone who likes the look of it in the real world, my mates all laughed at me for getting it, it did look better in pictures than it does in person though! Haha. |

I love K850 design too, as i said previously this is one of the best phones including design but it was the most buggy SE phone too (after P990).
Almost all people i know who have or had K850 love it but they complain about it being buggy sometimes especially the restarts on the older firmwares, R1FA035 is very stable though.
I love he back, like a real digital camera

After I got my phones (I count all of them from the first to last one) I learnt these things:
- it should be
- it makes my life easier
- it makes great entertainment tool
- it uses as mp3 player, camera, internet access and etc...
those are the great and good things...
but the bad thing is:
- when I don't have my phone with me, the pocket feels empty...
hahahahaha
Thanks for doing mine for me, mine is as above

Ive Had my K850 for 7months now, still looks new, keys havent had any paint peeling, it has one or two small scratches that hardly even visible, and general build quality on mine is excellent. When i 1st got it it was Voda branded, had R1EA firmware and restartd often, i then debranded and updated it to R1FA035 and since its been a realy sweet phone, battery life has been incredibly long, and the phone has been very stable. Everyone i know in real life think its a beautiful device. Mine still looks kind of new, and yet i dont even carry it in any kind of case, maybe you just had a real lemon of a phone, K850 is still a realy decent phone, still the only java SE to support both MicroSD and M2 as well as being a world phone. I like the way the camera is positioned, looks like a true digi cam, just wish the sensor wasnt so far away from the lens.

I totally agree with you , i've had mine for more than 13months but still looks new. Quite stable with the latest firmware. Battery life is really good, screen is superb and clear, and the Battery,Sim & Memory Card compartment is really a good design. No need to talk abt Camera and other features. It is great in all aspects whether if we consider camera or anything else.
I just love it , and don't want to change it even after having it for 1 year.

#1 I learnt that overall, the best camera phones i've owned (and thats pretty much all of them save INNOV8 and Pixon), nokia have in general been the best all round performers.
#2 That no phone is ever going to be perfect for me.
#3 That I wish Orange let you have a 5 day try-before-you-buy scheme.

From my first phone (a Siemens A52) I learned that it's very irritating to have the battery falling every 5 minutes from the phone! LOL
After getting my second phone (K750) I learned that it's very hard to break a Siemens A52! LOL
I learned that the K750 is one of the best phones out and that it has one of the most powerful speaker if it has modified acoustics (even louder than Nokia N73).
Last year I learned that it was a VERY BAD idea to buy a Nokia because the build quality and the Symbian OS are CRAP!!! After using my N81 8GB for 2 months I switched back to the K750.
Two months ago I learned that the C902 has even better build quality than the K750 and that the red version is really sexy! |
