I can only speak of my own experiences with this phone, I have had 3 K850i's, 2 I have broken myself due to stupidity, but I have not experienced the problems that for the most part are the same ole same ole since this thread was started. Maybe Im lucky, maybe...but I doubt it....with any computer which is bascially what theses phones are, if you try to do to many things at once it will freeze and crash, bottomline. This appears to be some of the problems folks are having, I have tried to replicate the issues folks are having on my own phones and havent had luck in doing so. My email works fine, my media player works fine, blue tooth headset works fine. Pictures with some adjusting are fine also. BROD havent had an issue with it on 3 different phones. The one thing I did encounter was the red light under the power button mentioned, but all that was was a battery that had gone bad, switched battery and no more issues. Where I can say Sony has NOT done a very good job with this firmware/software on this phone, the whole thing I was trying to get across was simple, if it isnt a "NEW" problem, then why keep B$tching about the same ole crap. It is going to do NO good to keep kicking a dead horse so to speak. In referrence to the computer and windows scenerio, well um that would be a common thing in big companies, everyone want to blame everyone else, Vista is a prime example, m$ refuses to admit it is a useless operating system that was released as a BETA to the public, lol....As far as "calling" someone on something, well there's a thing called tactfulness which is sometimes lost in a forum or text which was not used when speaking in this thread. And you said it if people keep saying things, people get fed up with it, my point exactly...enough bashing of sony, this was supposed to be a thread to review and help others with things. NOT a company/person/people bashing thread.

@Wildchild While I agree that some complaints are getting redundant, the fact of the matter is that SE's flagship model under performs in comparison to its predecessors (K800/K810) in response speed, MP3, Bluetooth compatibility, color representation, and if all of that is not enough we have the potential of it dying on us which SE can not even fix, we have to go to other places so they can make money on us due to SE's negligence. Mind you, this is almost a year since the phone came out and SE still does not know(admit) that these phones have a problem. I think you are sugar coating it a bit... So the mega pixels have been dialed up, that is only one tiny variable in determining a good camera. Now to make my self clear, I am not comparing a phone to a digital camera, I don't expect them to perform on par. However, it would be nice for their next generation phone to continue from where the predecessor left off. People are upset because they feel cheated in a way, they paid for a phone (and an expensive one at that when it came out) expecting something that they did not get. If folks wanted a phone without all those things you said in your post then they could have bought a lower end phone and expect those functions not to be there. If you bought a top of the line computer but you network card did not work properly and had trouble getting on the internet, would you say the same thing? Well, my windows works, I can type documents, and play games, so what if the internet cuts in and out... Or how about if your windows dies on you and you had to take to it a shop because the manufacturer didn't think the problem was their fault. While exaggerated, this is what is happening...
As for the "person" that abandoned us, people got frustrated with him. He would constantly say that he got new info but he can't share it. If you post in the forum about your insider info then inform the rest of us, if you can't say, then don't say anything at all. When when people called him on it he turned spiteful and and said we don't deserve to know, like we are children that need to be rewarded for good behavior. Give me a break, you either help unconditionally as a service to the community or don't help at all.

cannot agree more with Vlad... K850 has certainly fallen short of users reasonable expectation...

Thats a general
statement@falling short of users reasonable expectations. personally as I said earlier, I can only speak on my own experiences with this phone. But what would you consider a "users reasonable expectations", as far as I can read and see here and from my own using of the phone... the phone does what it says, just not to some folks liking,response,picture quality,blue tooth, etc etc... I work in the computer field you could say and you see bios/hardware updates months and years after the innitial release of a product that yes, may work, but has compatability issues or timing issues etc., etc.,and those are addressed in time. Nothing is perfect from the door. I dont care what it is. So to expect something to be perect from the gate is asking a bit much.

where you referring to my post?
I mailed them about BROD, but perhaps they dont even know about it.
Yesterday i spent €10 on a €400 phone to get it fixed, because they can't code their firmware.

Yikes. I don't do much multitasking either, but to hear that from you, I think I may get BROD too... well, let's just hope the shenanigans at SE roll an update out before then.
