Welcome roman ,you are welcome to ask anything you like!
Ok so the answer to that question is purely based on what you want out of a phone.i would personally go with the k850i because of the better cam and also touch screen isn't that important to me.so what do you intend using the phone for?or rather what phone do you currently have and which features of it do you love/hate?
Otherwise join me and hobbs on the xperia train!yeah!

Hobbs has jumped off the Xperia train and jumped on the E90 Communicator choo choo train.About 9 days to go.CHOO CHOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Everything Falcon said regarding choosing between K850i and P1i.We have 2 members in here each sporting the aforementioned phones.Amawanga with the P1i and Gucci with the K850i.I sure they can give you more advice on the matter.Me,what would I choose,the P1i just because Ive had the P990i (which I loved for a wee while) and its a great improvement from that.Ive played on one and its a beauty.

Oh dam hobbs turned out to be a fruit lol.hobbs there's not much that an e90 can do that your n95 8gb cant and besides the cam is a downgrade...i say cancell that contract you getting yourself into too much debt.rather buy it cash and feel the pinch one time instead of forking out over a grand on cell phone contracts for like ever!i did that to be one of the first in the country with an n95 and i regretted it later.

That explains the luke warm water i had this morning 
What K850?
Roman
Id say go for the P1i, as much as i like my K850 ive given it to my mum for now since she wanted a spare phone with Radio and good camera. When using K850 id always find myself going back to my trusty and far more versatile N81. If you want a great camera and HSDPA get the K850, but if those dont realy matter then get a P1, its so much more useful and stable, ive also used one and its a realy nice phone.

Dont worry Falcon.Im covered bro.I did cancel that contract I opened and Im getting the E90 on my friends upgrade.She managed to bring it forward a month.So its just a straight swap.So I have 2 contracts,each R185 apiece,so thats R370/month, that aint bad.Just curious,whats everyone spending monthly on their cellphones (contracts,airtime,bundles ect) ?????
Downgrade in camera.I dont care about the camera.With what Ive read its not as bad as you might think.Read stacks of reviews on the E90's cam and video abilities and its all very positive.I hardly ever use the N95-2 camera that often so I wont be missing it one bit.Its the large screen and QWERTY keyboard thats selling me.I use my phone so so much for internet browsing,emailing,chatting ect and I just cannot stand the 240*320 screen dimensions and the lack of QWERTY anymore.Im going to go blind by 40 and lose my thumbs by 50.lol

I wonder what Mbeki is going to call this new break away party, CNA? Personally, I don't think it's a good idea, this is only going to increase the already high tension within the ANC...What have we done to SA 
GUCCI
Atleast you had water man

I for one am not doing bad at all and yourself? Why don't you wait for the c905?

Hey tranced how you doing?that looks like a sweet phone...what's it going for there?
Hobbs well done i'm proud of you son!lol no point getting more contracts and if the e90 floats your boat then happy sailing my friend.
I spend about R650 a month on my top up 300 on mtn that's including a 1gb data bundle and i top up about another R100 bucks a month on this same contract.most of my calls are made from my cell c pre paid and i spend about R1500-00 per month on pre paid vouchers.so all in all around R2100 per month hey... |

@Falcon Rock my boat.We are going to have to see hey bud.These things are never certain lol
Hey Tranced.How are you buddy.Im afraid Ive lost touch with Sony Ericssons offerings of late.Everything after the P1i is a mystery to me.
So if your mother has your K850i Gucci when do you get to upgrade on her contract?

She likes it, says its a cute phone.
Ye browsing on a 240x320 screen can be a little annoying, i think NOKIA should have stuck to the 352x416 CIF res they had in E60, E70, N80 and N90 had, for the Nseries, it was so much smoother! you're gonna love that E90 screen though.

dam bro,i hope you we're able to make another plan. Agh SA politics its realy not gonna be good for the months to come, and with this new disease its not looking any better.

All good all good and you? The C702 looks nice, dust and splash resistant im sure its going to have very high build quality then, 3.2mp cam, 2.2inch screen, GPS etc. . .looks like a great phone especialy if you're a fan of the great outdoors lol, i dont think SE have ever made phone like C702 hey.

Lol i did that in 2006 and got the W800. I wont take her contract upgrades, her Weekender has useless phones when upgrading and her Talk500 upgrade is always the same year and a month before mine, i think il have to ask my Dad to get me a N79 in December, we'll see what happens, just gota focus on my studies now, my prelim results are good and im looking to do even better in finals, then i can talk solidly about getting a N79 lol.
Im on a Talk130s ,with 130mins free calls (now sitting at 600mins because they accumilate every month), 100 free sms, a 500mb Data Bundle and all add up to R542pm, my bill if i manage to finis my bundle only gets up to R650 max.
