You all talking and explain you k850i problems here , if you all go to http://www.sonyericsson.com/ and explain to them , what is wrong with yours k850i . They may take actions and realease new firmware .
no, they wont
I'm pretty sure sony ericsson people read these kind of topics all over the internet. This is the way to see what the real users think of their phones. They aren't stupid and know these communities exists. It's important for decision making in most company's.
I think it's more a money problem. Sony Ericsson hasn't got good profits lately and developing firmware costs a lot. They judged the phone's working condition as acceptable. Focus is on new models now. Too bad for us, but we live in an over consumption society so they know we will buy a new phone every year.
Two times , from two differences emails I sended to sonyericsson.com and explain all problems I had with k850 and add link to this k850 firmware Discussion . So SE , i think know about this... |

Or maybe SE is just having difficulties changing this model's firmware?

Don't think so! Im actually pretty sure they DO know how to change it, but face it the K850 is a 'old' model, they have the C- and G-models to think about.
Why would SE spend money on a old phone, when they are supposed to be done a long time ago! And besides, SE isn't doing very well (sales)..

Unbelievable, I’ve had my K850 bout a year (and actually grown to like it), a week before I’m to replace it and suddenly I get BROD. Wasn't doing anything, just sitting there and then it gave up the ghost (aslo on latest FW). |

The K850i price dropped dramatically recently and it now retails for less than 230 euros here in Greece. I checked a Luminous Green out at a store and saw that it was produced on week 37 which is the middle of September. So, SE have NOT stopped its production. It even came with the latest R1FA035 firmware installed. I bought it again considering it to be a very good buy for the money. It appears to be very solidly built and the software is very improved. Big difference over the earlier production units. It runs very smoothly with both 4GB M2 and 4GB microSD cards fully loaded with all kinds of cr&p! It gives me the impression that it will remain completely trouble-free and for 230 euros it is an OUTSTANDING buy!

well, its exactly what most of us thought
- its either we bought the phone too early, or, SE released solutions too late.
But of course most of us would choose the latter. |

It would be a surprise to them if I were to show them a phone under R1FA035.  |

When I say 230 euros I am talking about a non-subsidized price of a completely generic phone without any obligations and locks whatsoever! |

This is the worst phone I have ever used, now I'm starting to change my decision whether I buy an SE again.
Yesterday I was taking a nap and I woke up to the sound of my ringing cellphone but the ringtone changed since the last call I received, maybe an hour before that.
I go to check my ringtone profile and somehow it has defaulted to the SE ringtone. I'm very puzzled because I see my ringtones on the memory card are missing.
Then I realize all my photos, videos, music, etc is gone from my memory card!!!. WTF!!!!. Lately my phone was been acting up by turning itself off or rebooting but man, this really blows. I only care about the pictures which were important to me.
I really don't know how this happened since I live by myself, my phone was 10 feet away from me and everything was good before I took my nap. Friggin SE!!!!!! |
