Wow, thanks for the fast reply! Do you think its worth it for me to pay to upgrade to 038 or should I just wait until the new firmware comes out in 2 weeks from SEUS?
I'd say wait, the 038 seems to have some battery problems..and according to some people here the new firmware should be out in week 6 (or 14th of feb?)
Great ! Week 6.... Thats just after my Mock Exams.
Something to look forward to... YAY!! | |

i am so glad i stayed away from this handset. its the most buggiest s.e handset ever, and looks like s.e do not even care about its customers, since they don't launch a good enough firmware to sort out all the bugs. I can't wait till i get the N95 8GIG version phone so much better and stable  |

Buddy,
With 13 posts in this forum you probably have made zero contribution to Esato except say good riddance to me from this thread.
I have done EXTENSIVE reports and bug testing for this phone, and even just from using the phone normally many quirks can be found. If you were in my position you'd probably do the same and complain like many others here. There is obviously more than one fault on every phone, except these faults on the K850i interfere with daily usage and are not considered "bugs" to me anymore. They are simply stupid and annoying hindrances that render most features of the phone half-useless.
So why have you singled out Dupet and myself from this thread? Have you made any contributions and/or evidence in here to prove we are trolling? We are simply voicing our opinions, and we've both taken the effort to post up pictures and give other readers second thoughts on this phone before buying it if they haven't already. This is a K850i firmware thread and we aren't limited to posting what we have already said - which unfortunately are mostly negative comments. Meaning, this device is pretty much under par from everyone's expectations because 90% of the posts here really aren't praises. If no one took initiative to post these comparisons and reports up no one would know about the setbacks of the K850i and would probably be disappointed once they laid their hands on it.
The point is, the inherent nature of this thread calls for comments like mine and Dupet's. A firmware thread, especially for this phone, isn't going to attract happy people and most of us are going to rant on about its faults which we can clearly see in here. I like the phone's other aspects such as the design, display, etc. but this isn't the thread to brag about how great it is. Rumour says Sony Ericsson reads these threads, and if they aren't going to be hasty in fixing the phone, the more the complaints they see, the more pressured and obligated they may be to release new fixes.
So that's why I do not appreciate your comments telling me off to troll the N95-3 thread, which I am not sure if it even exists. I browse Esato exclusively for the latest updates on Sony Ericsson phones only and to post my observations to let other readers know. I am not sure about you.

Good riddance, now go troll the N95-3 thread and wait for their software updates,
while discovering their bugs...
PS: O and take Dupet with you, you guys just needed an excuse to troll SE, there is no phone without a single fault!

...buddy...
you may have the impression than you having more posts than me in a forum means smth, but you are wrong!
You contribution to this forum has ended by the time you announced that you got ridden of your K850 and you are going to buy the N95, like this is going to make things work better for both you or SE
You did the same thing about K790 and Nokia N73 (was that bug free too? ).
So instead of bashing SE firmwares and trying to find flaws and desperate converting ppl to Nokia fans, i advice you to keep this trash for your Nokia forums and sites.
This is not the right thread to decide if this the right phone for you or not.
This thread is supposed to be for K850 owners,
to inform themselves for the new firmware. If you or anybody else have anything new to add about that, you are all welcomed!
BUT, when you and the rest of the forum members here, disrespect the fellows that actually are interested to know more about the new firmwares, by posting off topic for a few hundreds posts...you dont help much...
The new firmware has never been confirmed anyway, thankfully, the mods were kind enough not to close this thread so far, but it will not last for long, if you ppl keep going on like that!
Every time i log in, i found 5-10 new pages on this topic, but absolutely no news at all. If you consider this a contribution then i have no comments.
I call this spamming and i dont admire ppl who have a high post account, just for the shake of it.
I m not saying that your post was the only one that buried away the few useful, ON topic posts, but a new debate over the old N95 VS K850 argument, right here, right now, would be totally inappropriate and unjustified.
I can assure you that N95 hasnt any less bugs than K850 or any other mobile of this category! So keep your opinion about your next mobile for your self and esp out of this thread!

I think sony ericsson has been messing around with the firmware on SEUS, but maybe only for different areas, my firmware got reverted back from R1DA038 to R1CA037, but most of the drivers stayed the same apart form the java and text software versions, oh and my phone is Hong Kong localised. |

I'm personally not a "crazy" Nokia fan but if their phones do the job then by all means I would encourage others to find salvation with their devices. I would actually recommend Sony Ericsson over them, to be honest. Both N95 and K850i have their flaws and whatnot, but as you said, with all the people "spamming" here, perhaps recommending them to try the N95 won't hurt, wouldn't it? It will lessen the amount of spam you don't want to see here.
Also, the K850i to me is a very expensive handset. Since I have been using SE practically for my entire life, I expect a company to make progress in their mobile releases. But what we see here is the exact opposite. And when I spend this much amount of money on a phone, I expect it to be great. The phone is coming from a company that has been in the cellular phone business for many years, and I did not expect the K850i to be hindered like this.
I certainly have not started any N95 vs. K850i argument in here. I am not trying to convert people to Nokia fans. I have not disrespected anyone. This thread is indeed for K850i owners and I currently am one, and will continue to be in the future since I have already purchased it.
This phone's value is going for $360 CANADIAN dollars BRAND NEW on eBay which is probably chump change in GBP. This phone used to retail for so much more, but look what happened. The K850i has so much potential, yet it is bogged down hence all the users' complaints here.
New firmware has not officially been announced by SE but it was strongly implied that there would be an imminent update from what they put in fine print on their website.
I agree with you that post count doesn't really represent a person's contribution to forums. But since you bashed me I had no other choice to think, correct? Your low post count and comments directed at me forced me to believe so. I appreciate the fact that you may log on once in a while to check for new firmware, but being a member here for a while, I can tell you now that every one of these "firmware overview" threads will have posts which you don't want to see simply because no one can perfectly cater to your preferred forum etiquette. And also, knowing Sony Ericsson, they won't release firmware this often. So I guess you don't have to even check this thread often at all, don't you? It will only boil your blood because of 5-10 posts which are totally useless.
On the other hand, I will follow your advice and keep my opinion on other "brands of phones" out of this thread. Perhaps if I recommended people to stick with the K800i no one would complain, even you. I do not understand the hate for Nokia... it is simply a manufacturer and I personally do not discriminate between the both of them.
Anyways, I don't want this thread to be locked either, so I guess we can stop our rambling here. Let's just hope the firmware comes out sometime soon so I can put my anxiousness to rest.
