Hello guys.
I have a P990i right now, and I have a few gripes about it. After about 6 months of usage, 5 of my keypad buttons don't work anymore (including the most important center selection key and left soft keys). I'm thinking about a new phone now.
I want to stick with Sony Ericsson. I ABSOLUTELY want a phone with some sort of black list / call filter function, and that's probably the most important thing. the 2nd most important thing I need will be profiles (for some reason P990i don't have it, not even through 3rd party softwares).
Now series doesn't matter (Walkman, Cybershot, etc.) but I prefer something not Walkman, because I already have an iPod.
So basically, I don't know if any SE phones have blacklist/call filter built in, and I figured that if anyone knows, it will be here 
thanks alot! |

Well I have a K850i can't really fault it really, can't say about realiablty as i have only had it a couple of months but it seems to be handling usual use ok. Only downside is the flash on the camera for the moment but it seems to becoming a growing thing that people are trying to fix, and the phone has got better since the new firmware has come out.
My friend has a Nokia N82 now i know u said u rly wanted a sony but its like a N95 and a K850i have had a baby cos it really is sexy although i dont think i would go back to nokia after using my K850i |

thanks jcgibbins for the response.
Does K850 have blacklist and profiles? Those are my 2 main concerns. Otherwise I really like the K850i (a good camera is more important than music player to me) |

The K850i cannot filter calls.
Only UIQ Sony Ericssons can do that.
P990i, P1i etc.
You better think about one of those or a Nokia N82, N81, N95 etc if you want to filter calls.

UIQ filters calls better than S60 IMO (assuming using the default call-filter s/w).
You have more options in filtering calls.
And I agree, proprietary SE can't filter calls, except in making some whitelist, consists of 10 contacts only.

I already have a P990i, and I'm using Advanced Call Filter software to filter calls. It works fine, but there are NO SOFTWARES for profiles on UIQ 3. Before the P990i I had a P910a, and they had both filters and profile softwares.
Why doesn't SE put something so basic as profiles on a smart phone? UGH!
Worst case I'll have to go Nokia, but all my BlutTooth peripherals are SE, I don't want to deal with compatibility issues (I had a Nokia BT headset, and it didn't really work with my P990i)
If there are any info on the upcoming phones that might have call filters (maybe G700/G900 might have it) then I can wait... |

Basically you have this option in all the phones as default itself where you can accept calls only from selected people.. its very much like the Blacklist ..
( Settings - Calls - Manage Calls - Accept calls -
All callers, Only from List, None.(for the k850i) ),
and yes it does have profiles.. |
