Can you use the W850's video calling camera as a proper camera like the one on the back? I just have a gut feeling you cant or damn orange have disabled or it. Then again it could be "another" thing SE forgot to add. Same with ending calls through the slide.

Luk 4 Self-Portrait in the camera Settings, and there is an Option to End Calls with slide you must just look for it in Settings

Is there really a self portrait mode on the W850? The K800 doesnt have it.

Nope theres no self portrait mode. Is this possibly the most useless thing ever from SE lol Iv turned 3G off to save battery life. So i may as well use it for something

I also cannot use the front camera for stills. I can, however, use both cameras for video calling as there is an option in there which allows you to switch cameras. (I'm using an o2 w850i)

yeahh that's true se w850i didn't have self-portrait mode. The quality on the front camera also bad. I don't think self-portrait mode is needed when the front camera only have 0.3 megapixels. Camera is not a big focus for w850i.

Whatdo you mean take a photo with the 3G/videocall camera or look at yourself like in a mirror?

Because if you mean self portrait/mirror then maybe its something to do with your phones because my phone i can use it as a mirror using the 3G camera.
