Hard choices. One got the keys cracked, one got BROD and bugs. Wish you all the best, mate.

Get a W910 just to play safe, besides it's just like a combination of those two

BROD - Blue Ring Of Death... A problem that appears in later K850 firmware, which causes your phone totally stop working and become useless (until your flash it which is not free yet) and the blue circle around the camera lighted up... That's why I also will reccomend you to avoid bying the K850 now... As far as I know the W910 had some bugs too that affect on functionality... So waiting a little will be the best move to get the G900 when available...

Or if you can't wait, go for the W960... It is pretty good choice...

I was looking over the firmware thread, and I thought that the BRoD was just limited to the R1EA031 firmware, not the later ones? Can someone please advise?
