yeeh sorry .. i just missed it ..
can anyone say how the camera is now ???
sharp / smooth / like k800 ..better than it ??
or worse...
In my opinion, K800i takes better shots than K850i. I don't know why. There are many possibile reasons: better camera sensor? better firmware?
Sorry I disagree.  K850 photos are better than K800. It take skills to capture good shots.

whoooooop whoooooop
upgraded successfully last night ... had the problem with the phone crashing after initial switch on after the update.
BUT ... now the interface is whiz fast and the camera completely fixed. Media player is MUCH faster and the vibra response on the touch buttons is awesome.
Loving this firmware and now lovin my phone again....
any further fw will be a bonus.

Well, i don't totally agree with that
On my network handovers between GSM and 3G don't go smooth always. So i could use the function to lock the phone to 3G. Ah, whatever... GSM/3G is anyway under a shortcut.
I have to admit that the names on the menu are very confusing. I'd expected
GSM Only (only enabling GSM radio)
GSM/3G (enabling both radio's, so you can access GSM, UMTS and HSDPA)
3G only (enabling UMTS radio only, so you can access UMTS and HSPDA)
Why they named it HSDPA is a clue to me, maybe they needed a visual conformation that the phone supports HSDPA indeed 
If the implementation of an HSDPA-only setting was the same as 3G-only, then you are right that it would have been wise and useful (as it is impemented by the wise guys with the 40 percent market share!). The thing is that when I still had the HSDPA option, the phone behaved exactly like with the 3G+GSM option. It would not lock on 3G/HSDPA but would revert to GSM when it was out of 3G/HSDPA coverage. |

Is there enyone else that got that problem when using Stereo Bluetooth ?? |

Hey, happen exactly the same to me. After updating I switched it on, it showed the first sonyericsson screen and then the screen turned black. I thought I might have push the power button somehow (but I can't remember I did it) so I remove the battery and switch it back on again.
Now, I'm much happier than before!! it still jerk when loading up my 7GB music, but in media player, browsing through artists/albums/songs are much much quicker (acceptable speed now!) and viewing photos gives a zoom in, out and in transition effect during photo change. Very cool!! I find the animated wallpaper is quicker too (may be as quick as W910i now?) and I really like the vibration touch keys!!
p.s. volume key is now working when/after listening music + taking photo with zoom!!
though it's a long wait. thanks sonyericsson!! |

Do it via cable. It's safe.
1. Off your phone.
2. Remove and reinsert battery. (Do not switch on)
3. Run SEUS Update Service
4. Select K850
5. Follow on-screen instructions.
