Well, my second phone is going back tomorrow. Got an upgrade from O2 a couple of weeks ago, had a few of the bugs mentioned already but was happy to wait for a FW update. Then Saturday morning it wouldn't start (apart from the flashing lights etc) so O2 agreed to a replacement. I had thought that it might have corrupted because I switched it off while the torch was still running.
Anyway, new phone arrived on Tuesday and seemed much more responsive so was pleased, though still a few bugs. The Wednesday afternoon I noticed tried to take a picture and found that the shutter wouldn't release, tried most things, charging, taking battery out etc but no luck. O2 agreed to replace it so hence another new one tomorrow.
Out of interest, last night I did a Master Reset to clear my data and what do you know, the shutter release started working, still sending it back though.
I asked about swapping to the dark side (well a black N95) but O2 aren't doing it, further investigation seems to only be available on Vodaphone (exclusive, so I'm told).
Lets hope the FW is released soon.
Andy

Another small bug to report.
When browsing through the menu... i noticed the phone vibrates when selecting an icon... only noticed it ever so slightly with a 4-5 sec pause scrolling between the icons. Now... it seems this is the same feature the W810i had, however unlike the K850i... the W810i actually worked and worked well. Hopefully this will be fixed with the firmware revision.
Has anyone else noticed it?
I noticed that flash menu vibrates when changing selection too, but, I don't think thats a bug, its written in the Flash menu's ActionScript, I guess.
Edit:
I wanted to post this earlier, don't know if you noticed video playback errors like this:
Little black square appeared in the video on 3 frames:
More black squares on the upper left of the image
You can clearly see black squares here:
These appeared for 4 frames, they aren't black and they aren't sopposed to be there either:
This is quite a lot of interferance there:
Black square again:
Not a black square but an error again:
Yellow and pinkish red squares appear:
A big gap there:
A small error here too:
To make some things clear:
- I viewed all of these videos on computer too and those errors didn't appear on any of them
- Every time I view those videos on my phone the same errors appear on the same frames
- The shots above were taken by pausing the video on the frame with error and by pressing the camera shutter button
- Every video is MP4 and it has 260kbps video stream and 40 or 48kbps mono audio stream
Anyone noticed anything like this?

you will see the standby clock ONLY when you press the volume keys - up or down when on STANDBY screen. But in reality, STANDBY screen are just plain BLACK for K850 unlike other sonyericsson units!

Added R1CA037 to the first post.
If anyone has further information on this firmware, I would be grateful for information (as I don't actually own the phone any more to test for fixes!)

Here is a link to photos taken with the K850i yesterday, where the flash didn't let me down!
NB: I didn't use anti-red eye on them (people never stay still long enough) and I am too tired and hungover to edit them manually!
