I have tested the phone out. It falls slightly short of my expectation.
The speaker is flat with the casing, put on a fur carpet or so, cannot hear voice. The joystick like 750i gone, for diagonal pad. It works, only not as agile as the pad if you decide to play games. The keypads need getting used to. Its not as tiny as some other SE phones, but not as nice as 810i either. The touch screen thing is a new addition, nice to use. Not sure how durable that thing is. Its more like SE has run out of place to put keypads, so they built it onto the phone. The battery holder is the most alarming one to me. Its like the entire battery is held by a small orange latch at one end of the battery. The phone looks like its as compact as ever until you need to sacrifice proper battery holder for space. I can imagine people dropping the phone and destroying the battery latch holder. The camera lens is outside of the phone, there is a lens cover which is behind the plastic, though I am not too keen in the design. One scratch on that plastic, and you may be getting artifacts in your photos. Camera lens does not open that instantly, have slightly delays. So if you are planning a candid shot, better be quick. From my observation, green rim colour is the best since it has a black side rims. Taste depends on people. The side band thing is just there, does not have any glow whatsoever to it. I am not sure if SE are planning to release a revised version of something, it does have superior functions to the k750i, only that how much of it is actually useful or not it is left to be seen. Note: I did not buy the phone after testing it out since I think the few areas need to be addressed first. |

Once again SE remove the sleep mode clock for K850i
This phone is now like K550i which mean you get blank screen when you phone is "sleeping" Source : here. |

the phone is getting bad user review from moble-review forum.. I would think the picture quality of SE K850i does not compare favourably to Nokia N95, not even close - until SE updates the new firmware to fix these.

K850 have touch screen? or i just read wrongly? O_O
nice design but i seriously doubt the directional pad. hard for occasional gaming @iCHiH my friend has a 6120C. nice compact and lightweight smartphone but do feel a bit cheap. not that solid but it's also disguise pretty good as a dumbphone. doesnt look like a smartphone until u notice the symbian key very responsive due to fast processor but the paint on "chrome" directional pad peeled off a bit after weeks of usage. btw, sorry for posting it here at K850 thread hehe |

A problem found out by K850i user at Esato forum
QUOTE Does anyone else find that white areas of photos/videos look a bit yellow on the K850i screen compared to the K800i or other phones? or maybe the K800i is a little too blue and the K850i is correct!? Look forward to hearing other peoples impressions of their K850i screens (does it have a slight over warm or yellow tinge compared to what you've had before or is this one faulty?) *********************************************************** On a different subject: 1 Tip so far for smoother video playback, instead of using 'Auto rotate' on Media menu 'Settings' select either Landscape or Portrait, using Auto rotate (I know it's a nice idea but) really seems to makes videos stutter, they are a bit jerky anyway for first couple of seconds (compared to K800i) in Landscape mode until the progress bar and icons disappear then they play smooth (have tried all display options, guess a firmware update should fix this one!) PS: Files tested are M3 encoded video 300Kbps, audio 96Kbps LC (which play smooth on K800i) Play back video seems laggy and the screen seems yellowish ? Source : here. |
