I think it's quite imperative that we include video, because let's face it, we can't name a single dedicated digital camera in the market these days that doesn't have video capability, it's even implied with every purchase. So K850 still loses IMO

Hi all,

Yes of course remove the Video feature and then SE wins, then add back in the fact that the N95 is a Multimedia smart phone not just a camera phone. Then remember just how long the N95 has already been on the market for and he fact that with each new firmware the camera has been improved.

Also remember the N95 isn't even the real competition for the K850 that's going to be the N82 which will also have a Xenon flash and more focused on being a camera phones.

No wonder Miles Flint has bailed now while the going was still good obviously he is much more aware of what's going on @SE then the rest of you. Personally i think UIQ3 and SE's customer support and attitude was enough to help him reach his decision.

What i do find really funny is if this review said the K850 was best it would of been the best and most accurate review ever, yet because it doesn't and seems to agree with a few other reviews it's just a rubbish review isn't it.

But everyone is free to buy which ever device they feel is best for them and suits them best but really you need to stop slating other devices just for the sake of it or because it doesn't have an SE badge.

Marc

Mervy:

well, Lets remove flash too while we're at it and the result is:

K850:25 - N95:28

Then you can remove the Macro shots, so on and so forth ...

Bottom line is, The K850's ONLY selling point is it's 'Cybershot' branded camera and it's getting trashed by an all-in-one convergence device. I hope for SE's sake it's at least half the price of the N95 upon release or things might go south for it.

And by the time the K850 is released, isn't there a rumor of a Nokia S60 device with 5MP, WiFi, GPS and flash floating around?!

HaHa, speak for yourself friend , it's always best to be totally dispassionate about ones chosen brand, or your liable to be left with a Lemon!! (every manufacturer puts one out every so often).
TBH the K850i majors on it's photographic prowess, if it lacks that, then it's a hollow concept.

I respect your feeling and in the end that's what matters to you and other people who feel the same way you do. K850 is the winner in this case!

Yep, they checked the same firmware that I checked, and It was bad.
Lets see the final one, It needs to be better

Almost a year ago, I tried a Proto N95 at an Exhibition and it's camera pictures were way bad compared with both the latest N95 software and K850 proto...

Let's wait and see the final K850 version before coming to a judgement... Only a month more...

mmm this has changed my mind. K810 or K800 pics are prob better! And i doubt the firmware will change dramatically, its September now, and its going to be released early October, and said to be released even earlier in Sweden.

Whoever says that the K850's sole selling point is the CyberShot doesn't know enough about the specs of the phone to talk about it. How about the fact that it not only has quad-band GSM coverage, EDGE but also boasts tri-band 3G coverage with HSDPA speeds of up to 3.6mbps? For anyone who travels across the pond this is Huge benefit because they can use high-speed internet on both sides. Try using 3g on the Nokia in the US - good luck, you won't find anything but EDGE and that will be at 192 max download.

Everyone can speculate as much as they want about the camera portion, but until the phones are in the store, many things can change, firmware being the least. If you think that SE won't change the lens if there is an outcry - think again! Companies have changed entire cases due to negative feedback, might not happen with the 1st wave, but it will if the fringing is not controlled.

the k800 has fringing and that wasnt resolved. SEs attitude is to just bring out another phone instead of fixing the present one.
