What's better? I now that they are different mobiles but what would you choose?

I know that the k850 takes ugly fotos (sharpness) and has some poblem with its "OS" (you have to reset it every time)

I had no knowledge of bad opinions about the w595

I have K850i for 2 months and I cannot complain about anything. Sound from speaker/headphones is very good if you use the proper acoustics, and mainly good headphones for the playback through the handsfree, which are many. Also a big variety of camdrivers with lots of settings. It is true about the sharpness but in most cases just the auto correct function in the photodj or in the microsoft picture viewer fix this "problem". Yes, sometimes it restarts from itself but in my case it's not really often - twice a week, but it is something you get used to. I have not used the W595, only got it for a while see what's about. My opinion is that if you want only good playback through speakers - get the Walkman, if you want something different than music phone - K850i is your choice . You can also check the C905, C901 - also good choice if you don't like the shape of the K850i

W595 produces great outdoor photos if you ask me, save for the lack of auto focus and flash

Restarts twice a week? Nobody should have to get used to that.
I like my K850 but what a P.O.S phone for everyday useage, if W595 is more stable i'd say take that.

Buy a C902, w890i, T700, T650i or Elm.
See my photos taken with the C902, Satio or E72 in here!

Why is everybody complaining about k850? Is it so problematic? Or its camera that bad?

Nobody is complaining. It was the "best" option 2 years ago. Why choose the K850i when you have much better devices such as Elm, C905, C902, C901, etc?

Imo the Elm is the best bargain out there.

I found the K850's camera to be good just the colours looked washed out which was fixed with modified camera drivers.
The phone itself is just not that reliable IMO. I use it as a camera and secondary phone or even as a HSDPA modem for my laptop. When using it on a daily basis as a main phone i ran into slow downs, freezing and reboots even whilest on a phone call it would sometimes reboot making it unreliable, you would be better off getting something newer as Zide has said. Elm and Hazel look good.

Instead of choosing k850 I would go for c901 or x10mini or vivaz. Caz I faced enough problems wit k850i. I can't accept any people comments that k850i is better bec. I'm telling what I saw in real. Also its old device which doesn't worth for saying WOW to buy it. So I advice ''better don't go for it''

also its not a better camera in my view... it suffers with purple fringing. inaccurate RED, low resolved details. still flash misfires though its powerful.
