So i'm getting a K850i tomorrow to replace my K800i (which replaced my k750i, which replaced my k700i, which replaced my t200 lol). What can the K850i do that the K800i?

I'm askin so i can go straight into playing with anything new the phone has to offer.

Also i feel a bit bad i chose to upgrade to the LG Viewty instead of the k850i. I soon learnt my lesson, sent back the Viewty and asked for the k850i lol.

ten times better sound, ( mediaplayer 3.0 + Megabass)

turbo 3g

better camera:
takes much better indoor/low light pictures
manual ISO-settings
better flash, (because of the light sensor)

LED lamp for video-recording, or use it like a torch.

bigger, brighter screen..(best screen i ever seen/use)

Pod casting

better battery.....k800=8h...k850=9h talktime

much better video recording,(30 fps.mpeg4)


good luck

no..its much better...it works like AF light + torch light for video recording..(and ordinary torch if you want. SOS, etc)

here you can see the LED in action

(to see in original size..press the button beside the volume..gets little better quality then)

A negative is inferior build quality, but hopefully these will have been sorted by now. It's a brilliant phone. [addsig]

@deepy

The K850i does so much more than the K810i, you'll be glad of the upgrade. It is a bit of a fingerprint magnet so you might be wise to invest in a Krusell case to help keep it nice and fresh looking.

The Accelerometer is impressive and you'll appreciated the improved video recording too.

As the previous poster stated, (albeit in an unhelpful way), be careful of dusty areas, one of the reasons I purchased a case.

Enjoy!

ok well i got my k850i and the camera flash does the out of sync thing. i read that the firmware ugprade to R1CA037 fixes that. so i tried to update it via SEUS. SEUS said it was already updated. so i checked the firmware on the phone and it was already R1CA037. But the camera flash is still out of sync! arghh!! is this still happening on this firmware?
i'm on o2 uk btw.

N95 ?????..how fun is it to charge the battery every night ??? build quality ?????...njjaaaa...(N95 8GB other side is better, but very expensive)

if you want gps, & wlan (and of course good camera)...buy N82

if you want beatiful design, good battery, good camera & good music features buy K850

deepy..........there is NO new firmware relesed yet..(it dosent mather if you install 037..the flash will not synch better...the new firmware comes about some days

029 and 037 is the same software..only 2 different versions.
