I was looking for a music phone, i couldn't find something interesting. So i've decided to get this beautiful phone, but i have this questions:

- Are its speakers loud or not?

- What's the main difference with the k850?

- How can i take awesome photos with this phone? (i don't know why but once in a while it takes crappy photos and its colors are strange)

- What about the video recording?

thanks!

K810's speaker is loud enough imho... You can also put modded acoustic drivers in it to increase it's volume and boost it with full throtle .

The difference with K850 is big... The K850 has new platform, flash support, better camera (in megapixels, in quality I think the K810 rulez it... It can be installed modded camera driver and get the best of your camera)... K850 has accelometer also while K810 lacks these functions...

But K850 is full of bugs in my opinion... So if you like the K810 you can go for it... It is a good phone after all...

P.S. I cant tell much about the K850 video recording, but the recording of the K810 is good... You can get it to record at 30fps but you cannot get it record on higher resolutions...

1) not that loud

2)main difference is that the K850 has worldwide 3G (HSDPA) plus has a 5.0 MP camera and some goodies as accelerometer and touch sensitive buttons in the screens. Apart from that, I still prefer the K810 quality.

3)To get themost from this phone you need to install a camera driver (widely available here in ESATO)
With that you can get pictures that nobody say was taken with a cellphone. For real, there are some good drivers out there.

Not only that, but you know the K850 has 5 MP, the K810 only 3.2MP
Here quality (K810) outperforms Quantity (K850).

I can tell you that because my wife uses the K810.

4)crappy videos of 175X144 at 6FPS. Again, some videorecording drivers can make that up to 18fps at 176X144.

then K850 records 320X240 (QVGA) at 18fps (they sell this phone telling us it records 30fps!) and quality is not that good.

But overall, I prefer the K810 over the K850. Get the K810, you won't regret!

the phone is vertually the same as k800i the speakers are good quality but it lacks some features like gps and wi-fi and a fast interenet connection.

the video quality isnt the best though you want a more recent phone.

Totally agree! And less delicate I must say.
