Do not expect any firmware updates. The hardware is piece of shit. That is why SE is showing bad result. To much faith on DB3150. Next phone is DB3210 or DB3350. |

Ever since the flash to the latest firmware (back in July after BSOD) I have Maybe had 2 reboots. The phone has been Very solid, if somewhat slow to my liking, but still dramatically faster than it used to be. I was just hoping for a few more fixes to the camera driver and maybe small speed increase but maybe that was too much to hope for... I find the rotation speed in media to be on the slow side when compared to other devices with an accelerometer. Any cool apps for that feature besides the marble madness game? |

Just saw my boss' SE G900. He said he wasn't satisfied with the camera.
I tried the phone and took a couple of shots and... well, what do you know - I'm glad i stayed with my k850i...
believe me, G900 camera is a downer. |

For those who do not suffer from reboots. Try multitasking: Mini Opera, listen to music, texting..
What happens? The phone reboots. |

I tried that. Opera mini + music + tetris + sms send and receive. Nothing happened. |

I perpetually have Opera and/or Google maps in the background. Texting is not a problem and when I listen to music I have enough sense to kill the rest of the java apps because it's just silly to expect all the media player's features to run with any speed when there's other apps open. Again - no reboots (knock on wood!) |

Using Media player and Java is running there is a probability that the phone will reboot. I had reboots even after using Netfront that could not display some webpages due to the size of it. Which led to reboots. |

I think it was mentioned earlier, a theory about that when A2 phones encounter a system error, like for instance memory full, it will reboot. I don't know how true it actually is, but if so, it would explain the occasional reboots. |

I have that problem with my K850 too, I think is a hardware problem.

How can you talk such rubbish.
Its a fault of some sort its only just started doing it. So your saying that its perfectly normal for the scrreen to turn off when your in midflow typing your txt message. I know it saves power if you dont type for a bit but it actually does it all the time when i write a message, the only way to get the screen to come back on is leave the phone till the keypad lights go off and then press your buttons agaion and it will come back on, usually going straight back off! GOD I HATE THIS PHONE!
