Is it worth it for me to change from k800i to k850i?
Im well impressed of k800i's camera quality but im a bit stressed out on its joystick.
And would I expect a better quality from a 3.2MP user to 5MP user?
Or should I stick with my k800i and save up more?

For now I can only afford to swap my k800i+cash to a k850i(Used)

Do not do it,i gave my k850 for k800+cash!
I am more satistfied with camera in daylight results with k800 than k850.
At night,you don't need a better resolution than 3.2mp,it's just a matter of the flash tipe,xenon.
k800 is more stable,and a better built phone.
this is what I think.but you should listen to what others have to say.
Sorry for my english

I also don't think K850 is worth it, with many issues that it has. Depending on the money that you have, if you're into taking pictures with your phone, get a C901.

I do not own a C901, but I do own a K850i. Stick with your K800i for now, save some more and get the C901, i hear it's far better than the K850i, while the K850i it's not a real improvement over your current phone.
K850i was the SE's most superb phone. And failure.

I see thank you for your suggestion. Right now k800i's worth is around P 4,500 pesos wherein 1USD=P 49 Pesos. Thats almost a 100USD and k850i cost around P 8000 pesos (Used) while C901 cost around P 14,000 lol

Would C901 be a good successor for k800i's majestic place?or even k750i's Place?

In my country c901 costs around 190e,full unlocked,2 year warranty,and full pack! 190e is around 220USD.
A used c901 costs around 150e=180USD & k800 costs 80e=110USD & k850 costs 120e=150USD

Save some money and get the damn c901!

If u concern for camera its not worthy to change from k800 to k850.because its not big difrend btween 3.2 MP and 5 MP .but if u like much fun and new look and much loud sound with some fun things like auto rotate screen.and flash player.and some games playing with motion sensor jar file games and flash games...etc many fun things. then if u like and want that i tell u to change to k850 .if u dont like fun just want a camera phone.then its no big diffrent to change to k850 .hope u take good choise

Well, trust me: 14,000 pesos spent on good phone is a better deal than 8,000 pesos spent on a phone that in about a week will make you feel like smashing it into the nearest wall.
About succession: IF it would have functioned the way it was supposed to do, the K850i would have truly been the successor of the K750i (in my opinion, the K800i and K810i are upgrades of the K750i in aspects such as the screen size and camera). Since the K850i failed miserably, the "majestic place" is still available and might be just as well claimed by the C901. But that's not for me to judge until I'll get one.

Let me repeat: save some more money and buy the C901. It's an almost unanimous opinion, man!
