Vax is right, just click those pics Plangton posted and see them in the native resolution. Like I said before, the pixelation and sharpness is not that impressive for a supposed top of the line camera phone. I would rather decrease the mega pixels and have a better photo than what SE seems to be doing. Hopefully they can improve it with future FWs. |

When I saw KG902 for the first time I told myself "Don't buy it. Soon SE will release same 5mp- camera equipped phone with faster image processing and familiar interface, and you will regret".
Eventually SE flagship came on market at the end of 2007 and it didn't meet my expectations.
Thats why i'm disappointed.
And as we can see no other notable Cybershot announced for 2008.
Resume: SE gave up on cameraphone competition and diversifying marketing on WM-UIQ support and damp proof 3mp phones.So I'm rather pessimistic about further significant FW camera improvments on k850. |

VAX do not despair..i hope that soon XS++ can handle K850 and than modding can start |

plag is right..well the point in making 5MPX camera is obvious..when u resize the picture for example to 50% of origina, its nicer than picture from 3.2MPX camera resized to the same size |

well i am no expert but..you guys are crying bout battery life but on the other hand showing your impression about vibrating function on touch keys...
did u even think about the fact, how much could cost this vibrating your battery life? i guess it could be pretty much..
I know that the vibration drains the battery out, but the battery life is still worse even if i dont use "vibration toch" keys option.
It must be improved as it was on R1CA037. |

Can anyone else confirm that their K850i still suffers the Flash and shutter being out of sync bug, resulting in dark photos. Successfully put R1EA031 firmware on my phone expected it to be all sorted but alas the issue still persisits (looking at Firmware history it should have been sorted on in R1CA037 release).

when taking a picture and using auto focus if you let the square in the middle go green before taking the picture will come out fine and the flash will be in sync, however if u don't wait for the autofocus to kick in this is when the camera will be out of sync with the flash and results in bad pics. To focus only half press the take button just in case you dint have any idea what i was taking about 
Hope this helps

OK, i'm not keen on flashing yet. Reading through the CDA number seems to determin if you can update or not.
I was wondering if there is a way through SEUS, to crack the program so it ignores the CDA number. Or, is there any way to know if a newer firmware will be released for this CDA number.
Thanks,

You can changer your CDA number if u want but the firmware you get will be one for the standard unbranded phone meaning you might aswell flash it. Am just gonna wait and see if voda/everyone else bring out a the new version with there branding out soon if they don't am going to turn it into a unbranded phone. |

Thanks for that heads up I'll give that a go, typically down to old fashioned "user error" on my part;-)

Plangton and others, with all due respect, I don't think you get it... Take the example Vax posted, click the picture, then when it appears click it again to see it in the native resolution. Now compare that to that those pictures you posted (which have great light by the way) by viewing them in native resolution. You tell me which one looks less pixelated and sharper. Now, apples to apples: take a 3mp picture with a k800 and scale down the mp in k850 to 3mp, and you tell me... |

Had another random restart today right in the middle of listening to music , 1st time the phones turned itself using music,(nothing else running) also had a ringtone turn itself on without there being a call or text, phone was unlocked in my pocket and when I took it out to answer it there was no call just the 6 and 9 showing on screen. |
