I'm having a hard time choosing between the K850i and the K810i. From looking at the specs I know that the K850i is the best phone, but what do you guys think?
The K850i takes som great pictures, but so does the K810i, especially with one of the custom cam drivers.
I like the design of the K850i - but prefer the buttons on K810i.
Is the K850i worth the extra money compared to the K810i?

had the k810, got the k850 .... get the K810 and enjoy trouble free
ownership - yeh the camera's not as good but at least the handset
doesn't have all the bugs the 850 has !!
Wish I hadn't upgraded to the k850 myself.

i would say K850... but what's the difference between prices??
Posted by Coquito
buy k810i , wait for
fix the bugs of k850 and the price drop
Posted by soane28
yeah, wait for the price to go down and a decent firmware to be released for the K850.
Posted by insi
huh?? is K850 that bad?? a lot of bugs?
but we can upgrade the firmware/software by ourselves from the internet, am I right?
Posted by rockygali
sure but youll hafta shed extra dough for that...
and thats not what quality products stand for... a product should be as good taken from its box. but when you have certain hiccups (well altho it is seen on some other brand/product) its quite annoying. and youll hafta spend sumthin out just to make it better when the fact is that the company should be taken the first steps in the first place.. get me?!
the safe way possible is to wait for the K850 to drop its price and for SE to release good firmware upgrades... i guess we'll all be happy campers then.
see yah!

just double check, if we upgrade ourselves from sony website, it is free, am I right?
The way to upgrade, just use the usb connecting to your pc with sony software, am I right?

I faced the same decsion and on Saturday I bought the K810i instead of the K850i.
I decided that the K850i was too likely to disappoint me with regard to build quality and firmware and therefore reliability and hassle of getting it changed and upgraded etc. And I have to say I'm really pleased with the K810i. It looks gorgeous, it's nice and fast and reliable. Still got the wretched SE audio hiss but I expected that. It's noticeably lighter than the K800i as well and the K800i and K850i are about the same weight.
Better still, because it's an older model I got the phone from a T-Mobile shop with a 1GB card for free on a Flext 20 (£15 / month) tariff).

K850 is full of bugs at the moment as sony ericsson seem to let the general public test the firmware for them.
Yes you can upgrade the firmware FREE via the usb lead & sony ericsson update service.
Problem is you have to WAIT for sony ericsson to release the new firmware first before you can update your phone.

For those who owns K810...how do you find the joystick so far?
any issue?
because I also comparing K810 and K850 for myself.
K850 I think more expensive $200...and get Edge/HDPS and 5mp without joystick.

My joystick is starting to act up, but you can only see it while browsing with opera mini when you push down and the joystick goes diagonally, pisses me off, but I can live with it....

I haven't had the K810i long so can't say anything about the reliability of the joystick. One thing I noticed when I first used it in the shop is that there is much less space around the joystick than other models eg K800i, T630 etc. This makes it a little more difficult to use but about a couple of hours I had adjusted to it so wouldn't let that put you off.
My T630 joystick started playing up after a couple of years but a bit of WD40 soon fixed it and it's like new again!
Posted by lizandrejr
I love my K810i
..they're right, just buy k810 and wait for 'price drop of k850' + 'stable firmware'
Posted by NightBlade
I've had no issues with the joystick whatsoever. Yeah, I love my K810, too!
PS. K810 looks better than K850..
Posted by Tervel
Sorry but the k810 does Not look better than the k850, then again that is how You feel about it and as a friend of mine says, everybody is allowed their misguided opinions
.
To me the k810 looks like a polished K800 which is what it is. The K850 brings out a whole new design.

Ok.. I'm impressed. So you're either Bulgarian or ...you aren't, but you can speak Bulgarian...
Anyway, I'll go along the safe route and speak in English..
About 700 levs, which is approx. $500. Kinda cheap.
Posted by Tervel
Sorry to hijack this thread,
Bulgarian by birth, American by having spent the past 16 years in the US. As of this year I've spent more than half my life away from Bulgaria
Anyways - do you own both k810 and k850? I'm waiting for the price on the k850 to drop to ~$450 or less and then I'll get it. I'm also hoping that will give it some time for a new firmware to come out. For me the K810 is not even an option since it's lacking quad-band (850 specifically) and HSDPA.
Just looked at the exchange rate - 700lv= $533!!! Taka se radvam che si hodih v BG prez liatoto kogato dolara osthe beshe nad 1.4lv

What is WD40?
Posted by Xx_Magic_xX
SE improved the joystick , it use to be connected directly to the mainplate (k750i), but now not anymore. It's now coverd with a special thing to avoid getting dust in it etc.... I got a k810 and the joystick is just a pleasure to work with.
In my phoneshop some ppl complain abou the joystick , but when i c the phone i'm not surprised , usual it's so dirty .. you'r not surprised if it doesn't work.

)..but everything is better on k850..screen, camera, flash, video recording, similar battery life, turbo 3G..and my favo, the new mediaplayer..sooo nice
so if you have this extra €...buy k850...such a awesome phone..(k810 is still a good phone)

I got my K810i on Tuesday, and I love it. It has e great camera and a bright screen.
I thought about buying the K850 but it cost too much.
Just wait until the prices have gone down on the k850 and SE have fixed the firmware, then buy it

u can upgrade your k810 driver and alot more... that k850 dont have because is still new... and less
Posted by lolcito
K850 >> K810
Posted by Killfr3nzy
I would definetely choose for the K850, yes there are a few bugs, but this wont be for long, just waiting for a stable firmware to come out.
Besides, modding the phone will surely come in the future so we can also add custom camera drivers, so no difference for that matters!
Also, like other member said;
- 3G
- Better camera/video
- Walkman 3

Have to say that K850 is better with more muscle

"I would definetely choose for the K850, yes there are a few bugs, but this wont be for long, just waiting for a stable firmware to come out."
that fone is out since ages, when a "stable" fw will be out, teh device is already outdated, just think on the c series
Posted by borg_
I have to disagree Bobafett
Just Updated mine to the new R1EA037 and it's what i wanted for ages
Very stable, no reboots at all, works finally 100% with my MBS-100 and the quality of the photos are so much better now
Just think that this firmware should be available 5 months ago
....
But now i can say that the K850 ROCKS

They are both crap. But i'd go with the lesser of the two evils, i.e K850.

Dude just shut the **** up. I'm seriously tired of your BS. Dont ever again quote me or say anything regarding my posts. I hate even looking at your posts as they are just stupid retarded just like you are. I know your purpose here and thats to piss people off and your damn good at it.
My N71 can kick your FUGLY K850's worthless ass anytime of the day.
And for the original poster. I hate the K850 because i've used it extensively. They keypad paint was peeled off and so was the D pad one too. The camera is quite terrible. Basically its not worth the extra bucks because you gain almost nothing in comparison to K810 which i think its a better balance of size, functionality and quality.

I DID give him a positive answer. Just because i didnt agree with your flawed thoughts doesnt make me wrong.
K850 sucks and thats my answer and its positive. You worship your phones more than your worship God. I wont be surprised if you start sleeping with your phone, if you dont already do that.

i dont think its a must to go here offtopic. i do get both "sides", on some way both are right, but why to argue this way? to blame a fone is ok for me, but pls, we should blame each other in person...
