@Mike Graham What Network do you use your K850i on?
@Eva-m00, This firmware fix was to only resolve the camera issue and stop most of the people sending the phone back, I wouldnt think it will be released to th General public for a while or at all, you may find that a new firmware may be released this month, (Quite a big one?) Just trying to fin out about it.
@Duran, I dont think the phone is bulky at all or that the keys are not nice. The phone is simular size to the K800 and the keys are in the correct place. And the joy pad is fantastic, Much better than the joystick

darrengf: What does the new firmware do for the camera? Does it just sort out the out-of-sync flash and the corrupting of the memory card?
Personally, I'd rather wait another few weeks for a firmware that has most of the problems sorted than get a half-assed attempt now. Still, I'm not happy that a company would ship such a shockingly unfinished product. Even Apple have done better than this with their iPod firmware (which on the video shipped with absolutely awful sound quality..)

It's not an E it's a G meaning Gprs. In older phones it was a light blue (cyan) upside down triangle.

The K850i Does have E (Edge)
I get both G and E (When in a Edge area) in the UK.
No Network currenlty supports Edge in greece and as far as im aware they have no plans to either at present.
The Uk networks support edge are O2 (Still in progress), Orange and T-Mobile.
If People would like list of the networks supporting edge or if they want to let me know what network there on and in which country then let me know.

I've now put my Orange card in the K850i, along with the 4GB M2, and it's gone back to showing just 3G. I'm therefore guessing it did show H before too, had I put another SIM card in.
Now, Orange DOES have HSDPA, and I've used it at home before. So, either it's been disabled or it's a different implementation to that of Vodafone (Ericsson equipment I believe). I'm not sure what other explanation there is for never seeing H with an Orange SIM card in the phone.
Of course, it's also possible that my Orange SIM isn't set up for HSDPA (just as you now have to have Web 'n' Walk max on T-Mobile to use it) anymore. I'll be rather upset if that is the case, as I wasn't aware that Orange might be doing that.

Update: checked new phone with Bluetooth headset. No audio problems except for when it's connected to Bluetooth watch, where it still takes 9-10 seconds before the audio stops stuttering.
During this time, the phone is sending the (tiny amount of) text to watch to display. Of course, the W880i and T650i can do this without affecting the audio at all.
If you play music with the old-style file manager, it's instant (literally, no delay to play audio and no stuttering) but it doesn't show the text. Disable connection to watch and the new media player is fine.
So, what have they done in the code to make it so slow? It also corrupts some text too (it's not bold text on the watch screen either) as if it's not communicating properly.
This is an annoying bug that I bet SE haven't seen (I did mention it in my report though) as few people will have the Bluetooth watch. Ironic, as it's the first SE (like the W910i) that actually has a dedicated watch icon at the top of the screen!

"its gone back to showing just 3G"
Where I'm at, I'm happy to having it on edge, which is a lot faster then gsm which is what I got with my k800. he he he....
btw, with your 4gb m2 card, do you think it is much slower than a 1gb m1 card?

Thats what I thought until I decided to take a closer look and it is an 'E'. I see the same 'E' on my W810i above the signal bars too. I am beginning to think it does support EDGE too.
