Heh heh ... that is one way of looking at it! Personally I am considering sending it back to O2 and waiting for another interesting phone to be released, which is not like me at all - I love playing with new SE platforms, but this one lacks some of the basic functionaility I am used to with the previous generation platform.

Nah dont do that.
It is interesting, You havnt had this much fun since the K700-K750i with all the bugs.
I do agree though I was expecting a little more, But i still like the phone any how

It seems that setting the stabiliser
on causes the camera to ignore the ISO setting you have given it. It also disables the focus assist triple LED.
In the following pic, the black text is what I have set in the menus (and is reflected by the little icons). The red text is what the camera actually did when the photo was taken.

It's interesting to see that on SE's site my HPM-82 is considered compatible with the K850 - maybe all is not lost and a future firmware will enable the functionality of the remote. My only concern is that they have considered that remote control is now only for W series phones and will never be enabled for newly released K series phones.
Does anyone have a more modern headset with remote control, e.g. HPM-90, HBS-DS970/980 etc to find out whether they are fully compatible?

I would be interested to see a white paper or something that confirms this. It seems odd that benchmark numbers are lower and the UI speed is lower when the resolution of the screen is the same as the K800.
A200 requires more processing power, which is why it scores worse.

it should be in the
customization part. when you are in service info you must be able to see it. aint it written at the sides of the box?

1) I've now got "Operation Failed" when I try and go to Applications or Games (also means I can't install any new content). Seems that this means the file system is corrupt. Even master reset doesn't work. Sorry, but having had it for less than 48 hours I am NOT going to start messing around trying to reflash the blasted thing!!
2) You can't enter all symbols in the email client for settings, so for Google Mail (where you need to enter recent:username@gmail.com), you must go into notes, enter :, go to copy all, exit, go back to email, open settings and then paste in the data. It seems SE figured you would only need a few characters, but not all usernames are plain letters and numbers.
3) If you're listening to music, and view the camera album, using the zoom buttons (i.e. volume) means it adjusts the volume at the same time it zooms in and out! Cue no music, or eardrum busting music!
4) Not so much a bug, but an oversight; the touch sensitive buttons frequently stop responding, or there's a delay. On some menus you might have something like "Send & Receive", which then changes to "Cancel". It's possible to see that it will do the chosen task, then immediately cancel the process because it's responded twice. This is bad UI design.
I'm sure I'll find more in due course...
