Could just be a problem with the phone. It will have a manufacturer's guarantee, so i would just take it back to the shop you got it from, and get it fixed/replaced.

If you've tried a few different SIM's in the K850i its more likely a hardware problem
i.e. reflashing it using SEUS won't achieve anything

you'll need to get it repaired, can your friend call the store where he/she bought the phone and ask for a reprint of the original receipt?

then maybe you can get it fixed under warranty??

Your right maybe its a hardware problem, in most cases nokia old model phones have this problem.a disconnection between contact,soldering lead just worn out.
you must go to sony ericsson service center.let them fix it.
