dude, you have really scary looking hands!
but its good to see not everyone has the same problems i had with the k850.
personally, i just knew it was time to let it go. it wasnt just the camera; it was a lot of little things. i kept pressing the touch buttons by accident and it was impossible to keep clean. i had to keep wiping the lens on my clothes before taking photos, and i think that resulted in dust underneeth the glass.
i sure do miss the SE interface though |

Well,
Here is an example of what I mean by 'Repainting REDS, in a horrid PINK colour' - Its such a horrid FW fault - I hope Sony Ericsson FIX this and fast - my T650i does better than the K850i!!!!
(Both images were taken in Macro Mode)
They are both at Full Size, with no editing - its a sad fact that the K850i cannot render reds (a mainstay in the photographic colour spectrum).
You can tell which one is the K850i, and which one is the T650i...

try pointing the k850 to something red when there's low light.
You've never seen so much noise in your life :> |

Well the lensproblem i solved last night i simply took the glass away. But if you don't want to do that you just buy the krusell classic case and you will at least get rid of the smudge problem. The touch buttons is more of an personal issue i think. I have no problems with them at all, so that differs. |

now you can see 2 outgoing calls to the same person in one day, and vice verse.. before you could see one going out for each person |

And an exmaple of reds in Low Lighting - no Flash (Obviously) - ISO 400 to alllow in enough Light to the Lens - still Pinks and full of soft grainy images!!!
Although, all is not lost, I have achieved some cracking images (FW was 029 here) - these look great and accurate...

Its been done, and still the Reds are rendered as Pinks - Plus, it should not matter, as a Semi Pro PhotoGrapher myself (Im a Product Design Student lol) - the camera lens should compensate for the light hitting the lens - If the T650i can handle the light, so should the K850i, with BETTER results - after all it is the FlagShip.

i love the K850 design...
but we are running out of the topic...
Same opinion Guilherme, so nice functions but don't like the Symbian and the nokia ugly desing.. The SE UIQ i thinks is the prettier, faster, easyer... |

Here is another example for you, its horrid! Last time I checked, my K610i was 'Evening Red', not 'Lurid Pink'...
And now the T650i - Colour Processing is just so much better!!

I had the same problem with over exposed pictures and fixed it by cleaning the light sensor of the gunk it had accumulated from handling the phone. I used one of those little brushes you get in an electric shaving kit. |

Yeah the light sensor is very important. Not only does it have to be perfectly clean, your fingers shouldnt be anywhere near it!
And of course, the FW has to be good ^^ |
