I have added them into the phone contact, which only allows me to save the contact.
However on the old K series, when you added a birthday into the contact when you clicked on it, it said do you want to add this to the callendar.
Even adding them on the computer and sync them to the phone, I still dont see them. but they are there

Ive just checked on my O2 K850i and the birthday thing works fine....must be your phone at a guess

The only real probs im getting is with the shutting down when viewing photo's in the media menu and the best pic feature doesnt work. Im hoping htey relase the firmware update pronto.

Had the phone in both auto and night portrait mode tonight, in a dark bar, and took about six pictures where the flash fired early, leaving me with a totally black image! As usual, the sensor/flash was NOT covered in any way (re. leaflet that shows you how to hold the camera).
In a couple of other cases, the flash didn't charge/fire at all - again, leaving me with a totally black image, save for a few over amplified pixels of light.
Oh dear. It's a Cyber-shot cameraphone, but you can't even be sure it will take a photo properly at all!

Does anyone have the following problem---When selecting MEDIA then PICTURES, the phone turns itself off?
Yep have the exact same problem, im not sure how many others have this problem with the media menu but im sure its like all the other problems with this phone....firmware
To fix this problem you have to do a Master Reset. I had the problem and called Vodafone o send it back and about 10 minutes before the delivery guy arrived I fixed it with a master reset. By doing a master reset you will lose all info saved on the phone however, so back up your applications and contacts etc that are saved on the phone.

Has anyone noticed that in the music player if you set the equilzer to MANUAL and then STOP the music and CLOSE the Player... Then go back into it it goes back to the previous setting... For example if you have left it on BASS setting...

ENJOY
I just noticed it after reading your post. But if you go back to manual, your manual setting stays unaltered.
This is a major issue for me as I do not like all the presets equalisers that come with the phone. I've always used the Manual setting and to have to go back to activate the Manual setting each time you start the Media player is just too much of a hassle!!! SE W850i does not have this problem and it actually remembers the Manual setting.
In addition, I notice that the mp3 sound quality (same mp3 file) with the K850i is not as good as the SE W850i which is superb. Shame SE just can't seem to make it right.
Also disappointed is the camera's night shot as pointed out by many users. The pictures are just far too dark even which a focus object not too distant away!
I quite like the phone but it's just seems to have to many issues with it. I'm considering returning this phone

i've discovered possibly the most unusual bug possible....
Using Vista Ultimate x64, whilst transferring files to the PC in Phone mode, if an alarm goes off on the phone then vista will crash. i'm unsure whether this is an issue with vista, the PC suite or the phone though.
have recreated, shall get exact error message tonight.
(this is the VF firmware)

I was waiting for this phone for a long time but it looks like i will have to stick with my K800 or switch over to a Nokia unless SE releases a K860 with all these issues fixed and a normal joystick.

I got hold of the phone Wednesday last week, and so far very satisfied:
IMEI: 35887404
Firm: R1CA029
it's Vodaphone branded, which i upgraded from W900 (which was quite awful, a big disapointment).
Is it me or do O2 branded phone seem to have a lot of problem, according to this thread? My GF had a similar issue when w800 came out, poor firmware used to wipe out the memory card.
Maybe one should compile a list of bugs observed on one platform and not the other, to see where the problem comes from
I have noticed the flash bug, i guess it might have to do with the light sensor, and distance to the subject of the photo. Perhaps a future update will allow the flash to be used at all time. Also, 5mpx is decent, not great, then again it's a phone, not a proper camera. It's good enough to snipe decent quality pics on the go, get yourself an SLR if you intend to do proper photography.
Video seems to work fine, i just encoded a Pantera Video (about 3mns) and it was very fluid at 350kbps.
Now encoding 20mns of video with similar settings to compare.
I recommend using Handbrake for ripping DVDs, I've always been very happy with the results. I hope Mysh or someone else will do a guide to encoding the best video with this phone, as was done on Valpulus.com for the w900 previously. i'll be glad to share my results in the meantime.
