for those keeping score...
It finally went through, and stated no new updates available...
I am still on the original though... I am on the west coast of US.

I've just (after 3 replacements) found a possible cause of the reboots ....
If I have just the providers' e-mail set up in the on board client the phone
behaves, if I then add other e-mail accounts it starts to reboot.
I haven't found out if it's the imap4 account or one of the other pop3 ones
yet but I'll let you know when I do.
BTW - Mine's Orange UK branded.

Ive had K850i on Orange for abount 3 weeks now and have 2 main problems.
The 'Activity Menu' Key will bring up only a 'Main Menu' option and there is no way of adding shortcuts. This is down to the Orange software apparently, but makes the button useless. I used to like this button on my K750i and K800i for quick links to favourite apps, etc.
Also when I have phone docked in the Sony Ericsson MSC-60, the sound plays from the phone rather than the heaphone port on the docking station. This again makes the docking station useless. Still waiting for a reply from SE.
I have also noticed there is no link to open the media player like I had on K800i. Instead you have to select something to play to open it.
Anyone else have these problems and any solutions?
Was considering de-branding the phone but am a bit wary of doing that. Never done it before.

@thissy07
Unlock/debrand is available through
DavinciTeam.com, amongst others, or you could wait for Orange to approve the new firmware.

Hi, guys.
I read your posts about the firmware of the K850 and the problems around it and I want to ask you some questions.
I have nobranded K850 with firmware 029 and I have issues with some java applications. I used for a long time some of these street maps ->
http://jtrustn.byethost12.com/streetmaps.html made by jTrustN with my K800i. Now with the K850 when I install and run any of this maps (for example Sofia.jar) the phone quits the application itselft... Is that issue from the firmware and is it olny my problem. I would ask somebody of you to download any of the maps and try it on his K850 and let me know is that only my problem.
--------------------------------------
I'm from Bulgaria and both FOTA and SEUS told I have the latest firmware even I'm with 029

Guys, I tried using SUES to update my firmware but it says I have the latest firmware but when i check it is still 29 do i have to choose another region to get 37. my handset in unbranded. But some people are saying 37 is available for Unbranded handsets.
any advice or help since 29 is too buggy.

It's such a shame SE normally produce quality phones, what's happened?! I've had my k850 a couple of weeks now on orange and just find it irritating that this phone has been released with so many bugs. The phone runs slowly, freezes temporarily and I too have the flash sync problem, although and I've found that the flash syncs in about 1 in 4 of my pics. Another minor bug is if I enable 'large' in clock size it'll show up when I start the phone but then revert back to small after pressing any button. I use a mac as well as a pc and SE normally sync perfectly with macs although when, transfering files via USB the transfer will cancel. Sort it out SE! Anyone any luck with the update on Orange or replacements with 037?

The newer firmware doesn't appear to be any different to the 27 firmware. Infact this one is worse, as BT Audio Streaming jumps every so often.
