Actually m waiting for w890 but i dont think it will be available soon. I tried k850 but didnt like the keypad and screen. From bottom side of screen light shadows were clearly seen.

If price is a factor, the k810i has dropped to less than $300 recently. A good value. The k850i is still over $450 or more.

I think that K810 is better choice, because is not expensive, and the camera resolution 3.2 to 5 mpx not is a great jump, you can waiting a little more, a camera with 5 or more mpx, optical zoom and other functions

See it depends...You know why....if you think that 3.2 megapixel pictures are good enough for your copmuter and printing , if you think that Motion senser is not an important thing and you can live without it....if you believe that in 2008 Sony Ericsson will produce lot's of GPS handset and they might be expensive and you can still ready to use HGE 100 GPS Enabler ...then K810i is the Best Choice.

I faced the same decision recently and went for the K810i Noble Blue.

At the time, people who had got a K850i were expresssing their disappointment with the general quality and software bugs. Despite some recent firmware updates, if you look at some of the K850i threads, people are still pretty disappointed with it.

I'm really glad I went for the K810i. The camera quality is excellent, even some pictures I took at night in Time Square, NY turned out amazingly well, and it's fast.

The music player might look basic but it does the job. I use it with DR-BT20NX bluetooth headphones and the quality is superb. (Even the SE hiss is not present when using bluetooth stereo like this)

Perhaps the best thing is that it won't let you down - the firmware is mature and reliable which for me is very important. I can't be bothered with the hassle of changing the phone or waiting for firmware updates which never materialise because SE think they know better. If they valued their customers they would treat them better.

So out of the two I would recommend the K810i. Don't forget - until a few months ago it was SE's flagship.
