New FW gives a lot of benefits, no harm upgrading. Even there is no problem with ur phone, but u can notice that the phone will performs a lot better than ur current FW.

what bsl said is true oso..if ur phone make u so headache,just sell it off and get new one
me oso not rich ppl,if i were u,i'll try everything and if still got BROD no choice...sold it off,if becos it lag or picture quality not good,its still acceptable and can be improve futher.
i think its depend on phone set itself,mine happen once but its just a second,after that its ok till now,even more better after FW upgrade.
my advise,better try kulankendi first..at least u try it,and u know it.
if after using kulankendi and no choices anymore and still got BROD,just sold it off

"One thing I did after frimware update was to copy all files(including hidden) from memory card to computer then format the memory stick, then copy files/folders back onto memory card. Things seem to be abit more responsive and stable."
Quote from Esato fella.
maybe this might help

so far no BROD problem. l scare after upgrade to newest firmware the BROD problem will coming. as your experience, can this happen?

The phone isn't giving me as much headache as you think..I've used kulankendi to "save" my phone immediately after the BROD..But it was just 2 days after the new FW is released so kulankendi can't flash to that FW..
So basically i'm fine if i stick to the 37FW    I like the phone and currently there's no other phone that i'd like to buy..
So if BROD again and I need to use kulankendi again, I'll have to pay another time?
But now I already got the login and pw for kulankendi..
Just wanna know they charge per transaction, or per registration..
If its per registration means I don't have to pay again, I don't mine reflashing again..

there still chances to get the BROD although with the R1F FW   

On R1EA037 FW, i din't encounter any BROD.
IMO BROD will happen when the internal execution memory stuck somewhere to cause it   (By right the OS itself should perform the auto-restart whenever memory low but some how its just jam up) 
  Yest I've tried two method to solve the Dark picture output with flash.

1) AF Light Off --> Snap one picture --> AF Light Auto would solve the dark picture 
2) go to service menu run the Discharge Flash.

I still unsure which or maybe both to solve the Dark Picture issue  So u guys could try it out.
    my k850i BROD yest night.. later will send to SE authorized SC kaotim the problem. would ask them about this issue too 
p/s: if not mistaken, on certain early batch of K800 also encounter such issue 

thx lots for ur info, irontech. 
oh ya, i wanna ask about izzit can just use k850i str8 on 9 by using celcom broadband without connecting to our laptop. eg. i m inside car n use k850i to surf net?

My k850i got BROD the 2nd day after I upgrade to the latest FW..
though its a very nice FW but then BROD was a turn down..
I've used kulankedi to rescue my phone ddi..
so my question is:
1. IS IT STILL POSSIBLE TO BROD AGAIN??
2. WILL I HAVE TO PAY €8 IF I BROD AGAIN AND HAVE TO USE KULANKEDI?
