*** MY EARLY THOUGHTS ON 038 FIRMWARE (ORANGE) ***
THE BAD-
* Text message inbox now crops the name of the person who text you, so for example John Walters now shows as John Wal - annoying.
* Already noticed higher batter consumption but why? I dont see my phone doing anything that would require more juice (I also have 3G turned off).
* The option to have the large clock on the homescreen is now gone completely and instead it now shows the small default date and time instead.
THE GOOD -
* The media menu's are now faster and flicking between photos now has a transition effect.
* There is now an option to list your text messages in different ways just like you could with the k800.
SUMMARY-
These are the only things Ive noticed so far, and personally after trying it I would like to go back to 037 as I never really had any issues with it. For all the people on here checking time and time again to see if 038 is out, dont bother. Dont waste your time waiting for such a minor firmware upgrade. Go out and enjoy life instead
Id imagine that the reason for some old features being missing is that there is a file size limit to the firmware, so if they make improvements in some areas, certain other things have to be sacrificed in the name of file size. I'll post more thoughts as and when I notice anything.

SE have updated the Media Manager! and looks like is much better, faster, stable and even the video converting function is enable (in version 1.1 you need to buy).
In this SE looks like to have done a great job (didn't tested yet)... let's hope they do the same with K850's firmware...
