The Phones' speed is rather good.
On the train I was texting when the Media player was on and KDPlayer was also running (I forgot to turn it off).
The phone remained stable and at acceptable responsiveness. |

Prom1 - Are you using the k850i MMS settings sent by SE?. If so, use the W580i settings, I had the same problem just recently
Nope .. I chose teh K790a settings it gives me the 3 settings that are uniquely correct for Rogers - choosing the K850i does NOT give me the Rogers (goam.com for unlimited browsing as per my contract, internet.com APN is for Streaming & tethering/modem use; which the network DOES know the difference).
Whats good is I figured out an oddity with SE Support Settings site. You will ONLY get settings ONCE/Mobile phone number - and I think its tracked by your IP address. Usually its not this way but I think it was some kind of spam prevention method with the changeover of the site. Whats REALLY good is I BESTED ALL 3 Rogers Reps (and their MMSC tech) whom FAILED at getting this working. Part of the problem was my SIM ... the gold contacts where wearing thin (its really old and seen many a phone), and the other part is the Settings once they were wiped, didn't get into the phone correctly again (up to the 1st 3 attempts I chose the K850i; after the other settings never arrived). I ... yes I got it working.
A2 phones have the IP Address in the Proxy Servers> HTTP > Proxy Address!! Funny because I spent 30mins last night combing the internet and found a few of my previous posts that worked on older A1 phones failing to work ... but it gave me the idea to look for this. Now I'm MMSing ... Viva la K850!

Are you two serious??? It's MORE stable, but it is NOT fully stable. I guess I'm unlucky with the Media Player still lagging up the phone. Not AS much, but it still does...

Other than 1 reset I have yet to have any problems, and there are far less people saying they got a brod. |

I still believe there's one more firmware to go before it goes Kapoot...
There are still more needs for improvements! |

Upgraded to R1F, and it is a good firmware compared to the Rogers.
Another question, and I know this has been answered, but i cannot seem to find the answer on this thread; is there a way to change the 3-touch sensitive buttons? Media, Menu, Contact? I find it meaningless to have Contact on the right, when practically pressing Down brings up the Contacts list.
Thanks.

Well, I quickly browsed through the k750i firmware overview. There are 8 major firmware upgrades (discounting the vendor specific ones and the one solely for w800i ) this r1f is k850i's 6th. If this is it, I suggest mass emailing SonyEricsson like they did during the k750i start of life. The UI is still pretty slow when listening to music. Pink bug, though less prominent, is still there. Random reboots are still happening. |

have just put the new firmware on, noticed that when i have the HSDPA option on that i now get a HSDPA logo whereas before i got the 3G icon. If i select GSM and 3G i get 3G logo.
Can someone explain this to me? Was my HSDPA not working before?
Thanks. |

There is room for improvement, but se don't care, they've made a stable firmware that does the job, not to the highest speed, but it gets there. They want to concentrate on putting their developing money into new phone firmwares. |
