I am wondering why this has not appeared on Watchdog, consumer good programme in the uk, due to the ammount of probems I dont understand why this has not been featured on their programe. |

coz it doesn't concern a 100 percent of all k850 users worldwide?
Lets just say that all of us esato readers using k850 comprise about 15 or lease percent of all k850 users in the whole world.
Sarcastic isn't it?
I always thought that I will not see another person beside me to use K850 in my community (there even has no SE commercial in the local tv) because of its imperfections.
But just a couple of weeks, I just saw 8 to 10 k850 users.
And they seem pretty well with it.
I know a couple of them, and they don't seem to be worried that much as I do (and I am not even 'that' worried myself).
I'm just starting to feel that we were the beta testers, and the next K850 consumers are the lucky ones.
I bought mine December last year.

Yes Sniper I agree with you...
I bought mine in December too for 825 USD in my country Brazil... And all those bugs now it cust here ''only'' 450 USD. Pretty expensive for a BETA tester
As I can see you have a green too, pretty rare as i can see, Does SE dosen't sell anymore the green ones? Only the Quicksilver and Velvet Blue?
Wish that will really have an R3 update.. |

800 usd? why so pricey?
I bought mine for 19,800 php (422 usd) last year - brand new with SE warranty.
And it's current price in my country is about 15,000 php (320 usd).
Yours is a bit costly... |

Jeah... beta testing :S
I bought mine around new year for 370€ and full of bugs, now you can get it for 200 € with the new bug-free firmware.
This sux...
But I learned my lesson. No more fresh phones! At the moment, I'm looking at the new c902 and in about one year, when I will be buying a new phone, it should be without shitlike FW and at a low price. |

WELL SAID GUYS...
we are the beta testers... i come to know now that it was fairly good tactics for SE to cutdown the staffs , which they recenlty did ... since they have got staffs who pay the company for the work ... ie US....
PATHETIC...
heard that there is afirmy release on the other side ... W910...
hope - sorry i wish - sorry i dream that some day within this year end they release the firmy ... may be , could be the last firmy going to get released for k850....
I SWEAR I WILL NEVER GOING TO BUY A FRESH PHONE IN MY LIFE....
i had enough.....

yes, its the firmware. Older models have older firmwares.
Well, we don't know if your friend actually bought an older stock model, you know - it's been in a store's shelf fo a log but it was just recently that it saw the light of day. |

I found a bug yesterday.
Start a new SMS. Press the camerabutton (take picture button) and the "volume up" button at the same time.
Poof
Now youre writing "D"
edit: Im running the latest FW, and my friends c702 does the same thing.

Do you phone restart twice when you switch off and on again? It only happen 7 out of 10 times.
