I'm off to get my 4th tomorrow too. 3 phones in three weeks. All displaying faults in both build and software quality.
Now on 037, still random volume changing when on a call and the Bluetooth audio is abysmal.
So, 4 phones and still a week to go on my initial 28 days... not good for a top of the range phone bearing the Cybershot brand. |

Surely if you get a new phone the 28 days starts again?

Nope, it's 28 days from when you get the first phone. Within 28 days they'll replace it; after that it has to be repaired.

Nope, because it was a T-Mobile upgrade. If I could get a refund I would. Then I'd wait a month or so and then upgrade!

mine was an upgrade to with Orange but via CPW.
You should be able to get a cancelation of the new contract signed for the upgrade unless they can offer you a phone you want in its place.
I will go for this and then upgrade when the N82 is in stock.
Don't forget, upgrade or not - sale of goods act and fit for purpose. This phone does not work currently. 3 phones all exhibiting different faults and build issues.
Its a shame, all my previous SE phones have worked nearly flawlessly. I love SE phones. But they have lost the plot on this one and I have signed a contract to pay Orange a monthly fee to cover the air time and phone cost.
The K850 cost me nothing up front - a free upgrade. But I will not live with it for a year in its current state. I cannot afford to wait for FW updates as i use the phone for business and after spending 7 hours in the car today and being unable to speak to customers - loses me business. |

Just collected my 4th K850. Speaker grill is not glued down correctly, so far refuses to receive SMS's.
syncing with Mac works Ok
Still testing. |

Mine seems to be perfect compared to some of the horror stories on here however there is definitely many quality control issues with some.
I hope you guys get it sorted out.

When SE brings out their next 'big' phone, I think everyone should go with plankgatan to buy theirs.

Plank... lucky for you and your mates... really I am so glad your happy with your K850.
Just to add to what I wrote below :
Bluetooth audio still crackles and repeats. Seems its 037 causing this as 029 worked great in this respect - just in others it was rubbish.
So, as I spend lots of time in the car on handsfree, this phone looks like it will be useless - good cam or not. Unless there's an update that fixes the phone before mid next week, its back it goes and I move brands to something that I know from others reports will work.
sigh... SE have lost it on this one and will loose a loyal customer. |
