Whatever it is. It's gonna be good.
Cam drivers need lotsa work, general tweaking here and there, and most importantly headset compatibilities.
I have a HPM-82 currently and the 850 doesnt even detect my headset. 
Need new FW! |

The fact of the matter is SE shouldn't have us wound up like idiots waiting for a firmware that restores functionality that the phone should have had in the first place! (I know that I have a W910i, but we'll get ours when you do!)
I got my phone to watch movies on and to listen to music with, and even tho the phone is marketed to do these things, it's not too hot at them...
I feel really sorry for the K850i owners who have issues with taking pics, cos thats a core element of the phone!
New firmware NOW!

@Terminatorak
lost the option for clock size in display, the little one that displays above the date is the only one, the second option is the large clock which displays semi transparently behind the date at the bottom of the display

I never had any problems with black pictures when I take a photo ... I think it's not a firmware problem but people who position their finger too much near the flash ...
I hope this new firmware will be coming very soon and I hope that it will be increase the speed of the phone. |

No, I still have the large clock, but I also don't see any improvement of 038 over the 037 FW. |

yeah the loss of the large clock only seems to affect those on Orange UK 038 firmware |

I wouldn't advise anyone with 037 to upgrade to 038, the negative of battery life reduction out weighs the improvements. In my opinon 038 is actually worse than 037...bring on 039! (Or whatever, hopefully something like 050! With major improvements) |

obviously i can't comment on battery life having only upgraded today, but i think the choice to upgrade comes down to what you use the phone for, i think if you value the camera and need it at its best so far then upgrade to 038, but if you value battery life then stick with 037 |

I can't believe you should have to make a choice which you would prefer!
Can't SE get anything right? |
