Got an upgrade where I can:

a) Get £15 off my line rental but no new phone and keep my K800i
b) Get £5 off and K850i free

Now hearing all the bugs etc about is kinda putting me off. Of course nothing a new firmware can't fix but I could always do option A and get it on ebay instead.

But is there likely to be a successor to the K850i sometime this year?

Why don't you get a 1 year contract and keep your K800. It's still a great phone, fun to mod and photo quality not much worse (according to some even better). And then, after a year, there's probably some kind of successor to the K850i, and/or you can get a K850i with less bugs and improved firmware for a lot less money.
I'm thinking about getting a W910i right now and wait a year with K850i.
By the way, 1 year contracts with phones are relatively cheap compared to 2 year contracts and give more freedom of choice. Do the maths. Only disadvantage is you have to pay more for the phone directly, but after a year you can choose another.
