K850i R1FA035 CID52 CUSTOMIZED UK/ BLUE WESTERN-EUROPE
?
I'm still wondering which one to get though because a guy earlier, forgot his name sorry, said customised didn't work for him and the other one did...I don't want to waste credits..
The top one (UK Velvet) is stock UK Generic. Its a barebones release that comes with all generic phones.
The bottom one (Customized) is stock UK Generic with added media. It comes with extra ringtones, themes, wallpapers, demo tour.
Update to Customized UK, it has more media which might be useful.
Thanks for the good reply...I'll wait until the end of the week, and if the firmware still doesn't come out for O2-UK, i'll use Davinci.

masada1971 - What did you use to flash to generic before?.
rss_ndsrn - Your best bet is uninstall update manager, restart the computer, reinstall update manager. Remove and reinstall the batter from your phone and try again. If it fails, I would just suck it up and pay the money from Davinci:(
nothing,i just bought it this way 2 months ago..its quicksilver black with firmware details as mentioned above...i already did the whole procedure you said and no new firmware said again... |

Update to Customized UK, it has more media which might be useful.
The main difference is that the customised one comes preinstalled with all the network settings for mms and wap.
However the uk customised one also switches of the little g and e in the top left hand corner and you cant switch them on no matter what Ive been told.
However they do come on when you connect to internet.
If you choose the united kingdom one like ive have done then the you get no settings for the any networks so you have to just down load them yourself which is very easy.
Also regarding to what has been said. You get all the pics, ring tones, themes, and games like you do with the customised one. You also get the little e and g symbol too  Ive done 6 k850i now and i will now always choose the united kingdom one for me and not the customised one. Hope this helps.

Ok my first impressions:
-Better Cam(coming from old 037)
-BIGGER FONT!! (Why?) in opera mini!!
-One reboot while the camera was on but not used for 40sec(this is bad while in the old 037 I NEVER had any reboots) |

Ok my Findings on a fresh install of R1FA035 United Kingdom (24 Hours on)
From R1EA031 O2
Pros
• The phone starts 2-3 seconds faster
• Marble Madness is very different, It reacts so much better
• Mp’4s are in sync, I’ve played many videos and no probs at all
• The phone hasn’t crashed or rebooted once (Normally this used to happen once a day or so)
• Phone it self is general faster (Or is Feels much faster)
• New Feature in Media (Update)
• Battery Life is better
The phone was fully charged this morning, Ive made the following
48mins of calls
75 sms
13 pics
2 mms
21mb of internet, email and rss feeds switching from GPRS to EDGE
1 hour of wap usage
15 mins of marble madness
15 mins of music
And the battery life is still at 72%
Cons 
• When using File Manager you can no longer select the files by using the first letters of them
• The phone is still slow when you are listening to music and texting etc, However this is no way as slow as with R1EA031. It’s a vast improvement, but could be still better
Performance
- JBenchmark 3D HQ: 447
- JBenchmark 3D LQ: 434

Ok regarding the Camera.
I have noticed no different from R1EA031 to R1FA035
Ive also took some shots of Brum with my Nikon S550 camera and the K850i regarding the colours and the reds.
I hope all this helps.
Any questions please ask
This first Picture was taken with the Nikon S550
This is the true colour of the reds
This Picture was taken with the SE K850i on R1FA035
This shows the pic with slightly more flash so it looks like the reds are not as deep
Took with the Nikon S550 (The Chair Is brighter in colour but very acurate in the colouring
Took with the K850i (Slighlt darker and again in the dark the chair does have a slighlty purple tint)
Both were left on Automatic
