It's hard for SE to release a major firmware when they are in so much development of many other kinds of models at the moment and as we know the K850 might be the last flagship of the K's we so much had throughout the many years, don't worry the phone is at it's best now after the R1EA031 firmware update months back.
*
I hope they still can release one last major fw.. cry.gif At least fix all those stupid bugs and lagness.. sad.gif don't worry bout all the drivers.. leave that to modders cool2.gif

Ow here's some info from Esato

Performance of R1EA037 firmware (±Improvement)

- JBenchmark 3D HQ: 438 (Prev Firmware: 445)
- JBenchmark 3D LQ: 427 (Prev Firmware: 431)
- JBenchmark 2: 940 (Prev Firmware: 932)
- JBenchmark 1: 6829 (Prev Firmware: 6103)

I dunno about u guys.. but for me, if its an improvement.. why some of the value decrease hmm.gif

I'm wary of those silver colored "call & end" buttons. I could think the color may wear off in due time. If it really does..that's bad!.

Hope that won't happen laa sweat.gif My k800 last time became like that also.. the camera button was silver colored and over time it wears off.. wink.gif

3 way screen protector is the best solution i guess. As for skinning, some forumers giving not bad feedback, but for me, it will cover the prettiness of this baby and i always feels that its cacat when i hold my friend's phone because the cutting at the edge of the skinning are very bad. But i guess it will be nice if the sifu of skinning is PRO enough to skin ur phone
*
Yep.. Depends on the skills of the people who skin it.. as for mine.. my friends hardly notice there's a skin on it.. have to look really close cool2.gif not that bad for rm39 including skinning service thumbup.gif

I'm planning on getting myself one in two weeks time or so...The design n the camera itself is very tempting to me besides the price that is.Do you think its possible to get it at around RM1k? and oh yea..this phone according to the specification i found online, it supports both M2 and MicroSD memory cards.Is this true?

Edit : Anyone mind posting a sample picture taken with their phones?Just wanted it for review.Thanks
*
Yes it does support both cards cool2.gif

AP set I assume ?
If so, it should be your CDA number incompatible with APAC region firmware CDA number.
To have yourself enjoy update from SEUS in future, you can try to flash your firmware to the latest R1EA037 with APAC region CDA number. smile.gif

Mine is APAC-ANZ.. whats yours mate?? hmm.gif

ermmm... in my opinion, 3 way protector is good enough edi... coz if skinning, scare it will leave unwanted mark when u peel it off... jus my 2 cent...  icon_rolleyes.gif
*
But the 3 way protector doesn't provide protection on the side wor, am i right? so if you are a velvet blue user better be more careful.. coz the silverish side if got scratch can be seen easily. Last time my phone did skin an when removed its mark-free cool2.gif and FYI i removed it myself just by peeling off without any special skill.. icon_rolleyes.gif

My baby restart again this noon.. cry.gif 2 times some more with 5 mins interval. First one occurred when i was about to push the camera button to snap document pics and another one while i was typing sms.. sad.gif sad.gif

I wanna sell my phone already.. not!! tongue.gif have faith and wait for new firmware.. have faith!!!!! flex.gif

Anyway i did the skin at IPOH PARADE, Ipoh.. for rm39.. and my phone was the their first K850 phone to be skinned like that. Coz at first they told me they couldn't do full skin, only front and rear cover but i say try to do full laa.. by the way it took nearly 2 hours.. and for the time being they can only do transparent skin for the rear cover..

Mine is a AP set, I just updated to latest firmware last nite through SEUS for free..all went well mah!..(except for few quirks related to my PC..not the phone). As long as you have original firmware installed previously and can be recognized as legitimate by SEUS, it'll detect the actual version and apply the appropriate upgrade firmware...simple as that!.

Would you mind telling me your CDA region?? thanx notworthy.gif

Haha,

got it from times square 3rd floor (near the cinema). MIDLAND set and paying via 'true' maybank 0% installment plan. the gps enabler is about 250 if im not mistaken.

ps :- shop name was 'leading communication' if im not mistaken. perhaps because the prices have been slashed (ap was about 1150 at the time of purchase) therefore, the ori sets were sold with a better bundle.

Rm250??? shocking.gif do you think wifi enabler will price the same?? if it is i guess i'll have to pass.. anyway welcome to the club rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

Of course not questioning on touch sensitive buttons...its the main alpha-numerical buttons..black buttons? Clicky and somewhat hard?..good or bad, don't know.

It goes fine with me.. I guess small fingers really help tongue.gif Maybe you have to work on how you press the button, sometimes it feels kinda hard if i press it differently. By the way you will get used to it wink.gif

I'm feeling very weird this model keys are the hardest among 2 other SE models (even my last Nok6600 wasn't that bad..even with lousy 3rd rate el cheapo quality keypad!. I'm just baffled!.
Probably the worst phone I've experience.. No!..nothing else wrong..except keypad and D-pad ring UI...terrible!.
*
Actually before buying handphones one should check "kaw kaw" all the features including its physical profiles rolleyes.gif . It only takes few minutes to notice the keypad and d-pad, well at least for me it does. I realized the buttons are somehow uncomfortable yet i bought the phone cause its features mesmerized me and I know i can live with that keypad. wink.gif Just my personal thoughts..
