It's either that they don't give out their stock on a FIFO basis like they should (although I doubt this because stores regularly seem to be out of stock) or perhaps stock comes from different warehouses.
I don't think you've got anything to lose by getting one tomorrow. Good luck. 
what is FIFO?
and hopefully the keighley branch's stock will be newer as they told me last week(saturday i think) that they had a new batch coming on sunday.....although it could possibly be an older batch from a different warehouse like you say....i hpe not though *crosses fingers and touches wood* lol

hey guys. i'm new on here, and i have just seen the thread. i have read all the way through it, and it's very interesting.
i think i must be very lucky compared to some people then. i haven't got any build quality problems. i haven't got a loose screen, my phone doesn't creak or squeak. the only problem i do have is the camera, but i understand that this is a software problem.
one last thing, when is the software update due to be released? and will it definately cure the camera problem?
would it be worth trying to get a replacement handset?
how would i go about doing it? as i didnt get my k850i from o2, i bought it off ebay. it was brand new, the seal hadn't even been broken.

Sorry, FIFO is First In First Out! Hopefully you'll be in luck. But I've found the build week isn't all that important anyway.
@dempsey
The camera issue is indeed a software problem and will be resolved in the next firmware update.

TBH I doubt you will be able to replace it unless you have the reiept, in that case it may be possible but not sure
Theres no harm in trying though

You won't be able to get it replaced as it wasn't from O2. However, even without a receipt, a service centre can check if it's under warranty (it will be) and will repair it free of charge. If you're not sure where your nearest service centre is, SE will be able to tell you.

Also, just a little update on my 7th K850... 
This is now my 3rd day of ownership and, other than the lose screen, it's great. The case is so solid (usually by this point it was a bit creaky) and I haven't had any software issues, despite being on R1CA029.
I'll get the screen sorted at a service centre in a few weeks or so. If the new software hasn't been made available on the SEUS by then, I'll also ask them to update the firmware.

Crikey, dust under the screen? loose screen? loose back cover?
Are all K850 owners suffering from this. I was going to get this until i read of all these problems. |

@bav
seems many of the k850's suffering from these issues are the branded handsets. Have not seen many complaints about simfree/unbranded phones. My unbranded one was fine to be honest. I might have missed some complaints about unbranded handsets, though im sure those with issues on unbraned phones will let ya know.

I'm not sure there's a link there. All of mine have been SIM-free handsets and I've had the lose screen on nearly all of them.

Nope, I'm on T-Mobile but it's from the CPW, hence it's unbranded.
