Can't you read the forums? The K850 is riddled with bugs, and not only s/w! I hear complaints of flash issue, creaky cases, loose battery cover, dust under the screen, and button cracking! Is this list not a significant deterrent?
Ohhh.. and not to mention the constant restarting and problems with the s/w. I'd get the phone if your in the UK where its cheap and can be returned easily. But for America subs which will pay ~550 USD and have to incur HIGH shipping costs every time it messes up, well you'd have to be CRAZY to buy this POS!
many phones are like that

I'm referring mostly to the problem of returning it when problems arise. Since U.S GSM carriers, TMO and ATT only carry 5h1tty phones, we are forced to pay top dollar for the unlocked ones which always come with high shipping charges.
So I'd advise people in America to either wait for the price to drop or hope a US carrier puts this phone in their line.
And your comments about other phones being so buggy is wrong, my W810 is solid, the new 5MP LGs are solid, and even the new Nokia doesn't show many signs of problems.
SE has definitely lowered their quality.. my friend bought a w500 and the buttons are cracking!!!

I really like mine. So far no bugs. I would get it over the 810 for sure.

thanks guys for all ur feedback iam from india, if anything goes wrong in the phone thats all we have to go to service center and give it and we have to wait for a week they will service the phone which they gave only and they will not replace it with new one, thats the main trouble here in Chennai were i live.

I have a K810i and am relatively happy with it. I would consider the K850i but from what I've heard, its full of bugs and lacking in quality. Not saying thats the case but thats what I've heard

In your case after reading about having to wait a week for servicing it, I recommend against buying it. The thing is in the Uk, if you get a faulty one, your network replaces it right away. My first K850i had too many faults, i reported it faulty and two days later I have a new one delivered and give the faulty one back. The second one I got is working 100% fine.

Mines working fine. Didn't experienced that much bugs and dusts, only had 2 resets using the media. It's almost 1 month to me now. As I came from a K810, I can safely say that the camera is better (both quality and the interface). And before K810, I tried the N95 coming from a K800. I didn't like the photos from the N95 so I swithed back to SE. Plus the slider construction, supershort battery life and frequent hangs irritated me. K850 should be a great buy but if your considering W960 also, just wait for it and compare.
