The G800 seems pretty solid and the camera (which is the most important feature I look for) looks to be pretty good.

Any one had the opportunity to try both and do comparison?

I read mobile-review's review on the G800, but would prefer hearing from end-users themselves

Do advise please

depends on your needs. What are the most important features? Does the design make a difference?

Camerawise the G800 would be the best option, with 3x optical zoom if thats what matters to you. Although the K850 is still a great option even if the camera gets bashed for bieng slightly inferior to its competitors on auto mode.

My needs are simple

Good camera (must be better then the K800/810), reasonable Video recording (QVGA), Xenon Flash a MUST, Good phone reception and standard phone functions and SMS/MMS as well.

Design is a plus factor... not all the important.

the K850 camera has similar quality to the K800/10 camera, although night photos look much better with less noise and pics look sharper in general.

Have you looked at the G600? The G800 camera quality isnt as good as the G600 cam quality, which is better than the K850 IMO but lacks xenon flash. However the flash is quite powerful.

K850 design is very subjective, some like it some hate it. Depends what you like. The G800 has very nice design and actual lense cover. The K850 may be a problem for you with the lense prone to dirt/grease.

i saw just some G800 pictures..all look realy realy blurry ??????? even with optical zoom...(never i buy that phone...maybe its a prototype, i dont know) ...look for your self, (you must see them in full size, then you see like it have some film over its pictures...very strange):
http://www.mobile-review.com/review/samsung-g800-en.shtml

i should go for N82 or k850...they are the best 5 M.P phones right now, (N82 comes 29 Nov)...N82 seems to take little better daylight pictures then k850..thinks its a realy good phone..EXCEPT FOR ONE BLOODY THING....IT CANT STAND BY IT SELF..(hhmmm, what are you thinking about Nokia ?? )..well well, its a fine phone anyway. k850 have much better batterylife + LED, (otherwise N82 have the same camera-features).

g800 has a smaller sensor compare to n82, n95 and k850
you can always find one if you know where to look
