Last week I just bought a 2nd hand K850, out of curiousity I did get it. Even though i already own a C901. During K850's heyday, the only reason that I didn't get it, it's because of so much negative issues thrown at it. But whenever I looked at it, I've always admire it. It's really hard to find a brand new K850 nowadays (at least where I live) so i settle for a 2nd hand.
My impression?
It was actually good. I'm used to the keypad layout now. Didn't experience any glitch or bug, it didn't even hang on me. Really love the style. been able to flash with other firmware. Tried dif'rent camdriver. Sound through earphone is great. Loudspeaker of K850 and C901 is the same (just great).
Here's the thing..after comparing photos of K850 and C901. The C901 has the upperhand.
But overall...K850 is a great camera phone and I'm really loving it  |

Trying K850 today, camera quality so crap. My k800 defeat it. It's run first firmware release,maybe because of this accelerometer didn't run properly. Where exactly accelerometer run,in media player only?i already set auto on setting,but when i place it landscape screen keep potrait view.

I agree with nnr3 and hihihans... Get C901 instead... K850 doesn't had much improvement in camera quality (compared to K800)..
But C901 had much better camera quality... Just look at || C901 photo thread || 
You also can take a look to || C901 Discussion Thread ||. In page 40, volume100 mentioned how stable C901 compared to K850...
In my opinion:
C901 support csv, xenon flash, facebook, threaded sms, google maps, better photos, no BROD, stable, faster media player, thinner and lighter...
But C901 is more expensive (about US$50) xD
About auto accelerometer, with first firmware, you must wait about 5 sec before it changes. Try to play a music, and it would be very slow... C901 changes instantly
P.S: I sell my R1FA035 K850 some weeks ago

My K850 runs on latest FW 035 and I modded everything in it. I never had BROD though its one of the first ones around, October 07. It freezes and hangs regulary, take out battery, insert it and its working again. This happens 6 times a day or not for a few weeks. Nothing to say about that. But I still love the looks and feel of it.

My K850 is on latest firmware and its had BROD twice or thrice while on R1fa035, buying a K850 is just a risk IMO, rather get your brother a phone that hasnt had so many complaints eg. C510, C901 or even a W705 or W595.

Hi,
I am running on 035 for about a year and i can say its bug free firmware. You should go for it. You said, your brother is going to use it and he doesnt know how to flash. So i think he is not going to use it that intensively like i do. Right now, i am typing this post from my K850i with out any slowness and meantime there is one downloading is going on. So no problem with multitasking.
i love this phone. With modded cam drive, it takes really nice pic. Just last week, i snapped a pic of my daughter and got its print in 8*12 size, got it laminated and now it is on my bedrooms wall. Nobody believe that it is from my phone.
Go for it.

oh, so you're indonesian too 
(sori bro, gak liat asal kotanya..hehe..)
you can get a2uploader + tutorial how to used it in our language from my blog --> Here
i'm not guarantee it will be free of BROD.. but with a2uploader, you can fix it in less than 10 minute
(gw emang hampir gak pernah main ke indonesia corner bro. btw, klo ada masalah sama K850 nya, main2 aja ke FP oke  ) |

well, i do agree that K850i is not 100% free from BSOD but that only happened prior to R1FA035...
what i can say is, K850i is a superb handphone and you will not regret buying/using it.
btw i never experienced any BSOD....lucky me
