That's because our only sources are PK, Mizzle and Eldar (in infrequent Russian riddles). Eldar is so into the industry he is indifferent about what we know, and the other two are free to say as little as they like, but not necessarily as much as they like. Its perfectly possible for us to know nothing about a handset right until the moment we see it announced. |

I dont see why the materials would be so impressionable to anyone. So far, every time someone says a handset is too plasticy I tend not to care(and then I see it in real life and its fine to me: case and point: W960), and every time I hear the use of materials is good, it doesnt seem to make a difference either way. I find metal casings offputting because theyre colder and heavier, I have a K700 and I know from it that a phone can look great and still be fully cased in plastic. So unless its diamond encrusted with a leopard skin back and purple leather trimmings, its not really anthing to shout about IMO. |

Hey I didnt buy the one with the fingerprint magnets! I personally like the way the K850 looks, just not the fingerprint problem. Thats why I wonder why they didnt just use the same plastic used on the front of the W960. It looks the same, but you dont get the smudging. Sorry, off topic.
Cheers PK Im very sure of that too. I think materials (in SE devices) are almost always spot on TBH. And from what Ive seen in the shops, and what Ive seen announced, they keep getting better  . But I maintain that with SE its uncommon that materials are something to complain about.

Because it's so well-made or because there are no buttons...?
