1) Since it's debut, did SE improve K850 firmware/picture quality? In the early comparisons published when some demo were released, it looked like N95 was a bit better

2) How does K850 camer performs? If possible declare your impressions comparing with your last camphone, if any

3) Please telle me about
3.1) Shutter lag
3.2) focusing time
3.3) saving 5mp pic time

Thanks

1) Firmware sucks atm, new firmware expected soon & performance firmware in Jan08.

2) Good compared to k750, especially indoor (evening etc) and in dark places..of course due to the flash. Still some normal range portrait pictures come out not focused.. I count on this to be fixed in next firmware.
Compared to k800 it's still mostly the same.. but again i think once k850s firmware has been straightened-out, k850 will be better.

3.1) Just like k800
3.2) ~1sec, though you can turn focusing of like on k800
3.2) ~2sec

About 2 seconds to save a 5MP pic sounds very good. I think K800 is slower.

Did you notice any speed improvement in UI usage? Probabily K850 has a faster CPU than K800?

Actualy, the k850s UI is slower. I think they used the same CPU but new OSsystem (or whatever to call it).. The animations lag a bit and media player is a bit slow. Though its fast enough to use the phone properly IMO.
Lets hope the Jan firmware speeds things up

All people above said "I think"
Anyone know what is the real processor used on K850 and K800?

Two posts on the end by me where you can compare N95 standard and k850i. They're taken in the normal conditions, more diff is seen when photos are taken in dark, when flash takes the lead.
