Hi all
I think I am going to start this thread about all things we love about the K850i. (please don't hijack this thread with negative stuff) Ok this handset has had its fair share of problems however personally I believe its still a great handset. (this is coming from a nokia fan who has now turned into a k850 fan) so let me start on the following list which i can think of right now:

1. Good quality built phone, not too slim not too thick (my opinion though)
2. Great Xeon flash camera
3. Love the d pad (i think they call it)
4. great music player
5. not bad video player and recorder either
6. Fast internet on 3G/HSDPA
7. Great torch
8. Not bad battery life (with latest software that is)

Please feel free to add to this list I will add once I can think of more.

What I loved about my K850i is the wow factor that came with it, whenever I showed it to people they would love the touch keys, the automatic camera cover, futurist styling. I am afraid the only thing that I could agree with in the first post is about the torch:
1. Mine broke down 2 times
2. Close up pics were flash burnt
3. Paint wore off quick
4. Could do nothing else whilst it was playing
5. Video and audio always out of sync
6. In one of the firmware updates it disabled the 3G
7. -
8. Meh

The thing I HATED about the touch keys is everyone suddenly thought that it was a touchscreen phone, and they did my head in anyway.

people people lets keep to the topic thread title. I have to agree with larry the touch buttons are great, for those of us it works for:) I had a shot of the c905 the other day and automatically went to press a touch button when i realised that phone does not do it.

And you end up with a battered up K850 with someones greasy fingerprints all over it, rather like mine, before I flogged it, got 50 quid for it, was rather surprised.

Not many phones out at the moment that I have seen that are non greasy. Who cares a little bit of grease. Just give it a little rub and hey nice and clean. Its all about looking after this great piece of technology. Who needs the 8MP camera when 5MP is great enough on your mobile. Remember no phone out in the world is fault free. That is why we have warranties in place. Anyways please keep the negative comments in another thread you might want to open called the (things i don't like about the k850i).

Thank you

well the thing i love THE MOST about the k850 is the digital camera feel no other phone has it
For those who believe no explanation is necessary, For those who don't none will suffice

Haha I might just do that, but I was forever cleaning it.

To be fair:
1.It had the wow factor when I first got it
2.Camera was really good.
3.Street Cred lol

Oh the option 2 have 2 type of memory card options for this handset. Thats a good thing I like about this handset too. I don't feel restricted in my memory card type choice.
