I have been a long time SE lover, but I was thinking lately, what does the K850i really offer to it's userbase besides a great camera?

I have a K800i now, and before that I had a W800i. I much preferred my W800i to my brick of a phone with an inoperable joystick that is the K800i, and I am still considering upgrading to a K850i, but what advantages would that really give me? What is really so great about the K850i besides the camera?

I recently bought a digital camera, which I have on me most of the time now so I rarely use the camera on my phone now. I am just looking for a really good slim, solid phone that will get the job done whilst giving me some great features, but not necessarily having a great camera. I was looking at the W880i and that looks pretty decent.

Does anyone have any recomedations for me? Or does anyone else share my opinion on the K850i?

Personally i never liked K800. It isnt the quality of images its camera takes, its that... i just dont like it Thats the reason i stayed with my K750 for 2 full years. In K850 i see the true successor of the ( legendary now ) K750.

I request people to also tell the truth

Apart from camera K850i also offers lots of problems, no body mentioned that.

nope


@shinjiz music player 3.0 is just an unbranded walkman player 3.0 so yes it is an improvement


@ original poster there is also flashlite support but thats more of a gimmick

By what I've been reading in other K850 forums, the K850 offers one thing you may not have on your K800, BUGS!! AND LOT'S OF THEM!

it offers nothing.

K750i was legendery, as was K800i, they were the best handsets on the market when they came out, becuase of both picture quality and interface. they were market leaders.

in my opinion the pic quality in low light is better on K810/K800.

also the k850 is a brick, feels a lot bigger then k810, but not k800.

the only good things in the new SE phones is accelormeter, tweaked inbox, tweaked contacts, smart search thats about it.

personally if i had to buy a cybershot phone now, i would buy a K810i rather then k850.

as it is i have the w910i, which doesnt have a good camera but is great in every other way.
