my friend who have a k800 can choose which firmware he want, (he can downgrade or upgrade when ever he want).... can we also downgrade our k850 ????
Yup you bet! At Da vinci team you can choose whatever firmware version you want. All the way back to the good(?) old -29. 
I done it myself when i downgraded back to the -37 when SEUS didn't fix my "operation failed" issue. After downgrading at Da Vinci, i again upgraded at SEUS.
On a side note: SEUS doesn't seem to see that you have an older firmware when you have flashed to that at Da Vinci but if you just go ahead and flash the phone anyway you get the new firmware. And DA Vinci (amongst others) do a proper flash.
As I posted before- From Da Vinci team: "comparing to SEUS we flash the phone completely (so it becomes like new from
the box), SEUS just updates current firmware - both ways have some pro/contras"

Check out their site at: davinciteam.com. An ordinary flash to what firmware version your heart desires costs 10 euro. You can PM me if you have any questions. |

2 restart using the camera, switching trhow settings .
1 restart using the media player with photos.
Dude that is NOT cool! I'm assuming you're non-branded as well.
Curious. My K790a (Locked but UNBRANDED) has something called " Clean Up Keys". What on EARTH is this?
Main Menu> File Manager> More> Memory Status > Phone Mem/Memory Stick selected> More > Clean Up keys. Its explanation is NOT clear at all; not to my mind. I'm wondering if this is run (First for past 3 mths then older than 1 day for ALL selections within Clean Up Keys) if this will put an end to all these rebooting issues?
Is this option in the K850i? I won't have mine for a few wks longer.

"Clean Up Keys" is a feature for cleaning up the activation keys on DRM locked music, video, etc from your service provider. So if you had some DRM locked music on your card, then you deleted it, the activation keys would still be on the phone. Using that feature, you can get rid of them.
Some service providers may not even lock their music, or may not use the activation key system, but that's what it's for. Vodafone uses it.

Some other new stuff in this last firmware - in the Web Feeds menu.
First of all, it is much faster. Before the phone almost froze up when updating all the feeds.
They added a manage podcasts menu.
In the settings menu you can select to download text only and also you can enable/disable the ticker.
When the ticker is shown in standby screen, you no longer have to check all the feeds to make it go away. Now it has a "Hide" button to get rid of it if you don't want to read the feeds. Also, the graphics look a little different.

How big is your memory card, which type you got (M2/mSD) and is it formatted as FAT or FAT32?
Sins the update I had 1 restart which reset the theme. The only thing I did was format my microSD (FAT32) and no sudden deaths till now.

Use twilight portrait to see more of the background when taking photos with flash. But keep your hands steady when you take cos the shutter time is 1/8th of a second instead of the usual 1/250th of a second the normal flash take. |

I just been messing about with the phone to get use to the functions and came across on why the photo quality comes out dark when you take pictures
( i was pretty drunk one night and the pictures i was taking was coming out dark!!)
..and its not actually the firmware itself...its the build quality!
the phone itself is pressure sensitive you literally have to hold the phone around the frame to actually get a quality picture
you can test it out for yourself if you hold the phone by applying a lil pressure on the side where the lens is, the picture will not actually come out right, it will come out crap! (you can actually hear the lens shutter to be very faint when you do that)
