in austria i didnt see a single one yet at usage, even its out since some weeks. price is 479.- euro ( sim free ), which is still accepteable.

might be it has a good cam, but next to it nothing new under the sun. its not out yet with contract ( afaik ) which is a big mistake, many ppl would have take it before xmas for a good price. donnow its whos mistake, se or the ops here.

Here you can get it on a rather cheap 1year contract for about 150 euro's, only 10 euro's more expensive than the W910i. So in total if I get this contract I will pay about 495 euro's for this phone with 145 minutes a month and unlimited internet. BUT indeed their seem to be many problems with this phone so instead I guess I'll take the W910i and then maybe, after a year, i'll get a better K850i on contract for cheap. Yep thats what I will do.

had it a PDF-Word reader and Wi-fi, and more suitable keys for messaging, then it would have been a hit...

Hit-5
Miss-3
Thus far.
Remember its about if the k850 worked as it should, no firmware/build issues. Just to evaluate design, looks, ergonomics, functionality, capabilities or lack there of.

I was dissapointed with it, replaced it with a N82.

The build quality was not up to skratch, and far too many bugs for my liking i`m afraid.


are you kidding ?????

you replaced k850 with N82 because of the build quality...eeehhhh

i had N82 some days...and it feelt MUCH more plastic then k850...even many Nokia fanboys on gsm arena think the same.(so im not the only person who believe N82 is realy plastic)

think k850 is realy awesome, (surprise yehh)


small,
awesome sound,
awesome music features,
awesome battery time (i nearly never charge it)...
awesome camera, (with some small portrait-sharpness issue..who probably next FW fix)
awesome design
awesome screen
awesome keypad + awesome D-Pad

i have many phones..and the only one i think is similiar to work with is w810

if a camera can produce this quality...its a good camera...no doubt about that

I think a miss cause':


1. camera could be better (bigger sensor )
2. many bugs reports and no new firmware yet from the release day..
3.not that good build quailty like K750,K800 are.
4.stronger speaker would be nice

he he he....HAVE YOU EVER LISTEN TO K850 SPEAKER ??????????????

k850 have for sure the loudest speaker sound of all phones.
(i have never heard some phone with louder/clearer sound)

itd nothing wrong with the sensor..(how hard can it be)..is a god damn cell phone..and for a cell phone the sensor is very good.

you know what this is ???????? this is macro taken with no flash in bad indoor-evening light....the sensor is good, (for a cell phone)
(looks good in full size to

The sensor is very noisy, but it reduces as ISO reduces.

At the top ISO (ISO 64, like plank's photo I'm going to use here), it still looks like someone has spilled paint all over the pavement:



You can use Photoshop to reduce the colour noise:



And then use Photoshop to shrink, sharpen, saturate and turd polish in such a way to make even the worst snap look great:



Beware the assessment of a 5 Mp camera by looking at a 0.4 Mp shrink-down!

yes...but STILL NOT A LOW LIGHT MACRO SHOOT...

show me one cell phone who manage this kind of low light pictures..(which also means a good sensitive sensor)

look at the details..its nearly perfect for such a low light....(i can show them in 2592 x 1944 if you want)
