I have this phone, camera is ace. There's a problem with the lens cover mind...it only half opens sometimes, or doesn't open at all.
Took me a day or so to get used to, but the touch screen is a really good feature |

kaiesha, or anyone else with the orange branded K850i, can you post some pics please? i'm sick of orange messing about with menus and if it's that bad i may cancel my contract and get an unbranded phone from cpw. either that or wait for the samsung g800. |

i don't have an orange branded phone, but from past experience with the way they mutated my W850i, i be careful.
But i'd highly recommend getting one from CPW, mines totally unbranded and unlocked on T-Mobile, works like a charm!

Duffer, please get the unbranded one from cpw, you really won't like the orange version. I've cancelled my contract and the phone is going back. |

Just dont buy phones on orange or voda. When will ppl learn?
O2 phones come completely unbranded and unlocked except for the O2 ctive icon and a theme. T-mobile ones are locked and have a T-mobile logo on the phone, but the only software change is the web'n'walk icon. Wou can still use flash themes at least  |

Whilst I agree that people should avoid Voda and Orange branded andsets, my thoughts are more along the lines of "when will Orange ever learn...?"
Do Orange not remember the Nokia N70 + Homescreen = 30,000 complaints to the ceo's email inbox fiasco?
I would say the same for Vodafone, but you have to have a brain to learn and a conscience to care. |

Not a phone to keep in your back pocket by all accounts, I'm terrified of cracking the camera face since reading Eldars review and its a good job I have a couple of old T610 cleaning cloths lying around.
I'm concerned at how the housing would react if lightly dropped or knocked about ( a quick 1-3 jostle) in a crystal case. Not sure if the housing can handle vibration or impact. |

Hm. Tried running SEUS, but it's after a driver it can't find "SEMCBOOT download" it's called. Bah!
EDIT: Had to extract some drivers held in zips. Works now - no update though
I've got the same problem. Where did you find the driver?
I've tried to install off the CD, and also from the k850_usb_signed_drivers.zip on DaVinci, but Hardware Wizard says "cannot find the necessary software".
Any ideas gratefully received!
