Applications and games wont open.
All original content gone.
sometimes slows considerably and have to restart it.
video playback is usually screwed.
bottom flap that houses sim and M2 makes tick tick sounds when pressure is applied
Flash too powerful, photos overbright
auto focus sucks, worse than w810
attracts stains and finger prints, needs cleaning regularly.

Build quality great and sturdy
Nice functionality
all the stuff that planky said [addsig]

Some of you mention on build quality being good....

Over what period have you had the handset...???

Are you basing this on a month of use or a week...???

Cheers

I have my for a month now, its a W39 model, FW 029 (still).
Right action key reacts on touch inside D-Pad
Media player's semi-transparent interface over video makes it lag badly and when it disappears, the video has to speed up to catch up with the sound.
Multitasking is a disappointment.
Scanning my phone memory with computer detected some corrupted zones.
Flash is usually too strong when making a portrait picture
Dust under lens cover and lens cover creaking with ring that is around it

The good:
Games like Galaxy On Fire, Deep, Planet Riders, Heli Strike, V-Rally and all other 3D games that I have play really smooth and the quality is great!
Marble Madness was fun to play
Media player and auto rotate have the "wow" factor
Video recording is awesome (16kHz audio might be a downside), managed to hit 38 fps a few days ago.
The screen quality... Oooohhh I love that screen!
Face wrap - Hilarious in most of the situations
VideoDJ is so good!
MMS editor outways any other that I've ever seen
Playback of WMA files - They have higher quality on lower bit-rate than MP3 and that makes them space-saving
Macro sharpness... I nearly cut myself how sharp it gets
Document photographing mode (good for photographing tests)
Keyboard is so good for gaming!

Ok... I could go on till tomorrow!

Mine is doing okay. The housing has loosened slightly so it is a bit creaky. The most annoying thing is the lose screen; this problem appeared after only a day or two though. I also now have dust under the camera lens. I'm a couple of weeks I'll take it to a service centre and have the problems sorted.

Generally speaking, it's doing well, but the build quality is a little disappointing. [addsig]

I've had it for a little more than a month. Today I got the infamous 'operation failed' when trying to open the programs folder or games folder. This was out of the blue after booting the phone this morning.

I upgraded to 037, and did a master reset but it didn't help. I suppose I'll have to send it back.

No!? I don't know where you have gotten that info because I updated my k850 yesterday from 029 to 037.

(I did also try to update the phone a week ago but there were no update avaible back then)

listen here..i got this info directley from techical support...this are just 2 different versions of ONE software...k850 was released with 2 different versions...there IS NO MAJOR BUG FIXES from 029 to 037....
some people (special in Asia...got 037 from the start..but mostly got 029..it dosent mather which one you have..they works the same)

it will come a real new firmware very soon...

when the real firmware comes...you will feel the different of example the flash, mediaplayer, etc...thats what technical support told me
