After 9 months with the K850i, it was time to say goodbye...numerous restarts, crashes, freezing, random bloody reboots, non-responsive touch screen, followed by a screwed-up LCD screen...Optus Service Centre (Melb) returned it un-repaired as a replacement screen would've cost me around AU$126. Phone was insured and still under warranty! Getting the C902 instead by week's end.
ATM using my trusty 3+y.o. K750i which still works like a charm. Its Fast AND reliable 
Everything the K850i should've been.
I'll still stick with  ..for now.. This model was truly a disappointment. |

1. Unlock A2 via Setool box 3 cost 7 logs
2. Yes. K750i full unlock is free and K800i without logs via patch. Full unlock in DB2020 is possible via logs. Too 7 logs
3. Via patch is free and full via logs. 7 logs
4. Full simlock in DB2012, PNX5230, DB3150, DB2020 |

The reason why K750i is faster than k850i is because both phones use the same processor speed/capability (209 Mhz), but the k850 uses more applications (e.g. ) touch sensitive buttons that are "always on", larger screen, autocontrast that is also always on.
Simply put, the k850 chokes itself whenever we use its full potential.
The story could have been different if SE used a higher processor;
1. The photos blur out easily when subjects move coz the processor is slow.
2. Random restarts, coz the the processor simply "faints" when too much applications are open.
3. Video and audio doesn't synch coz the processor simply couldn't cope up.
Darn. If only the SE engineers and designers have realized it, one fatal decision and everything goes bad.
PS
I jumped from k750 to k850.
I'm not dissatisfied with my K850, but it could have been so much more than this.

I agree with sniper_supra, ARM9@200mhz is not enoughf for a modern phone...
I think that C905 will not improve the situation...

On the other hand, I have faith on the C905. Here are the list of reasons I have to say so:
1. It has more similarities with k800 than k850 except the new UI. Remember that the k800 is more of a success than the k850
btw, I always thought I was the only one in my community who owns a k850, just recently just saw 5 happy users. Ignorance is bliss ^_^
2. It has smart contrast. We all know about it - k800 and k850 has trouble with the subject having a sunny background, the focused subject becomes black while the environment is perfectly lit. I hope SE won't balls this one up.
3. A slider - though I hate a slider, SE finally figured it out that you could not balance ergonomics with size perfectly. So to avoid crammed up space and a weird d-pad (which I honestly like in contrast) they finally gave in to a slider.
4. Larger lens capabilities - the lens although not a carl-zeiss optic has better specs than k850
5. It has no touch sensitive button, which is a) power-thirsty b) slows processor down (And again, i like touch sensitive buttons in contrast)
I really really hope the C905's a beaut, or else the Cyber-shot family is going to be just a name.. and nothing more...
PS
I just removed the extra glass cover above the camera of my K850. had to void warranty to do so:
1. Pinkish red somehow was reduced.
2. Details somehow is better
3. And the color is a little bit better
Cons:
I still like it when there's glass over it. It looks somehow "normal" with the glass on. I'll just continue my observation for a week.

I totaly agree. Im also not dissatisfied with my K850 but i just know it could have been so much better if SE had actualy thrown in a better CPU.
