1. No joystick and not suited to arcade games. Perhaps priorty to cellphone functionality than entertainment.

I said not suited, not can't play. I repeat, its more for phone functionality. Can't have everything but its natural to expect a lot for this kind of money.

I'm no gamer nor a fan of any games, but I know a joystick is best for responsive maneuvering with only the thumb. The somewhat hard to press and clicky D-ring is a blatant disadvantage even in the simplest of arcade games as I've found out. I need 3 hands to go through Round 1. How to play?...excellent question! 

Anyway, I'm going to pass it off to my son in due course..I'm getting very dissillusioned with this model!, but what else to change ah?..The truth is there's no other phone with similar features at the same price point. I should have listened to a phone freako friend!..he already told me twice..DON'T bother buying this phone! 

but the main problem is joystick tends to wear out quite fast, especially if game alot. that's why new SE phones are joystick-less. 

the only problem so far with K850i is the touch sensor buttons. one of my friend's one was faulty even though the phone is barely 1 month old.
