K850i is not a bad device per se, however right now it is somewhat overpriced and underperforming IMO, my advice is to wait a couple of months before splashing out on this one. |

I think I might do the same after reading some of the reports on here. JP-8 seems a bit wet still. Although the camera is still impressing me.

I moved from a K800i to the K850i (I also had a N95 but I hated the battery life) and its a little buggy but imho alot better package. It took a day or 2 to get used to the new button and lack of joystick.
The only thing I am not liking is the way you have to hold the phone when taking pics - as mentioned many times on the forums you need to hold it in a particluar way to get best results (which are better than the k800i). But i will get used it.
I am a fairly heavy user, lots of calls and texts, use opera as my main browser and nav4all with a bluetooth gps. It all works a treat. Fantastic phone so far (6 days with it) |

Got mine today, just letting it charge. So far it looks amazing. I think early problems will easily be ironed out in firmware updates. I should think Sony Ericsson will be updating it fairly regularly as well. |

Well, they need to do at least ONE update - and pretty sharpish too.

I just have one question is the ear piece noticeably louder than the K750? |

I would really not mind getting it, but its way to expensive for me....

Has anyone noticed that when setting a pic as the wallpaper the quality deteoriates loads or is it just me. I'm using a unbranded K850i |

If you want a phone that does everything you need the K850i is right up there. I've got a N95 which I will be selling and between the two the K850i in my opinion is better. The phone is just awesome. The touch buttons are unbelievable, you barely have to touch them! |

Not to criticise esato... but forums in general very seldom have people congratulating products, as they go there for help and if a product of theirs works they take it for granted and get on with life, I dont own a K850, and there may be a few bugs in the fw, but the bad bits you hear here, are probably the worst of the worst.
=D
IMHO anyway |
