Well, i have k800 squeezed to the max 
i really enjoy raidersky camdriver, wich takes full advantage of k800i camera, so i think we all agree that that's it for the full quality of k800.
what i want to know is, if i buy a k850i will it be worth it ?
now that's beggining to be modded, camera drivers, i want to know if the change will be big? bigger buffers? EM option in k850?
or should i consider other phone?
i want a phone with awsome camera, that could be modded preferenc and sometimes listen to mp3 (like i did with k800)
so what's your opinion?
a raidersky look a like driver in k850 would be much of a difference? that would make you guys upgrade from k800 to k850?
thank you

K850i is terrible. And I mean it. I got a K850 for free, no strings attached zero nada 0$, and still I wouldn't take it. I cannot even imagine paying for it.
Terrible Dpad, Terrible Semi Touch pad navi concept (works very slow and no tactile feedback). Just these two features are so bad that they make a seemingly nice device utter crap. It also is bulky and heavy. It offers nothing over K800 even has a slower CPU. Utter marketing bullshit.
Go K770i if you really want to change a phone. |

I don't like K850. I also prefer K770 and K800.

^^^ K800 has Xenon flash while the K770 only has LED. And although both cameras are 3 MP they are quite different. I prefer K770 photos as these have had less treatment by noise reduction and sharpening, but the white balance is not always 100 percent accurate.

Will that driver improve a K810i camera?

I have grown to enjoy it the shift from k800i to k850i
I think that it is becoming more positive with all the hard work going on at present in the modding community

k850i is a perfect phone for music. try to use w980i acoustic driver and a hpm-70 earphone. set it to megabass.... For camera, maybe in the future. |

Yes, 1+.
The K850 is a great phone, good camera, good media player ,good everything actually! Plus we can change fonts, flash menus, media player etc. now
It's a good choice I would say |

Give me a break! What difference do all these features (really good camera, nice audio playback, xenon flash) have if the navigation makes it impossible to use them. Watch any video on youtube and you see people tapping the screen multiple times instead of once because the K850 doesnt receive the commands on the tap areas. Also notice how long the phone has to process the tap. Now please can anyone tell me what's the point of that? Also you have to move your finger off of the dpad to confirm anything. I couldnt stop myself from laughing when I saw a retail 350Euro Sonyericsson being such a mess LOL
The most incredible thing though is that some people actually seem to like to go through the pain of using it!. Einstein once said "Human stupidity and the universe are infinite. Of the former I'm sure". And boy was he right! 
I'm not that picky as you might think. I just expect from a phone that I carry around all day that I can use it when I need it. Otherwise: what's the point of carrying a 120g brick?
Mark my words, though, If you're a fanboy who gets excited that he can change the fonts or have a flash menu even though his phone is not to be used, then I believe this is a perfect choice. Do you buy phones like these PLUS a frame and hang it on the wall ?

I have none of these problems with my K850i. The D pad is far easier to use than the joystick on the K800. The touch pad buttons can be set to vibrate if you need that sort of thing to "confirm" you've actually touched it. Don't really have a need for it myself.
Sounds like you either had a hardware fault or it's a case of operator error. |

Go for the K850i its a great phone and despite what the previous poster said the D pad and soft keys are a doddle to use. Never had an issue with mine, you just need to touch the right place, not the screen, works every time.
Only issue ive had with mine is the restarts but that seems common on SE phones and since my last update it hardly ever happens. |

better wait for some other 5mpx, or go for c905 stright away. bec k800i is obselete it doesn't have the updated mediaplayer, or flash menus, or JP8. and joystick.but keep in mind a great camera and a good build.
k850i is ok, but i personally faced lots of prob on hardware keys,screen. and build quality. so i dont prefer that.
u can try c905. which has all above those. it has even wifi with good looking design and great camera. if i wanna choose i would go for defenitely c905.
keep in mind that the camera module on k850 faced lots of criticism. try to check the reviews befor going to buy.

Do what you like just don't say nobody didn't warn you.
Check out some videos of K850i and you'll know what I'm talking about.
Peace out. |
