For God sake if any moderator can add on the first page of this topic that this FW update can brick your K850 because there are too much victims here,whatever SE says to you ,you should mention to everyone that they are taking the risk of BROD if they update their phone right now!!!!
Or even you want that SE suicides itself...
vegetaleb I had NOT made ANY changes, only possibly the official Sony update, I can tell you what the firmware was, I listed it in another post I made, it was R1EA031.
So I do not no what you are implying, that the latest updates are responsible for the BROD?
The way I am reading this LONG and depressing story, people have been getting the BROD out of the box!

BROD started with 031. There were other reboot issues prior to that but non made the phone stupid and non-responsive even by SEUS. The BROD issue reminds me a lot of the WSOD issue with the W600's a couple of years back...

Damn, so you are saying that earlier than 31 is requiored to stay safe, and living with the issues the phone has until Sony officially admit to correcting the error on release of an official update?

I'd go for the N95 Alan. If only for the fact that the best phone forum I've been on (n95users) is for the N95. Friendly, jokes and don't take things far too seriously like here.
While I'm all for consumers having a whinge about equipment that isn't right, this forum really is on a different level to most I've been on. Quite a hostile place. N95users make all newbies welcome, don't treat them like dunces and have a laugh with each other.
Go N95!! I would still be N95 if mine hadn't died and because I voided the warranty Nokia wouldn't touch it. On the flip, bar the camera shutter getting stuck open (a punch on the rear of the casing sorted that!) my K850 is performing nicely. More like a sideways step from the K800 though. It's no better for average usage in my opinion.

I took my K850i out with me on Saturday night as I thought it might be handy to have a camera with flash (first time in months I used it). I used it a few times, taking pics and texting but when I really needed to take a picture of a mate chatting up 3 girls way out of his league the damn thing died on me!
I took it out of my pocket and noticed it had a Bluetooth prompt (some random person must have tried to send me something) and when I said No to it the phone just went dead! I had to remove and re-insert the battery to get it back on!
Since I have a Samsung i780 and an iPhone that I use on a regular basis, the K850i did nothing to warrant using it above those two devices!
Luckily two of my mates had N95's (one 8gb and one normal crappy version) so they took some pics!

I'd agree with your advice to move to the N95. My experience with the NA version of this phone was great, but like always, Nokia seems to have things working out of the box, while SE takes quite a while to develop their premature software. It's unfortunate really, because I am loyal to SE and despite better alternatives, I'm still on a K850i.

Thanks for the replies, folks - unfortunately I'd already called them back this morning and went with a swap for a brand new K850i. I read quite a few comparison reviews between the two but on balance still prefer the SE interface and the slightly less bulky form factor. I appreciate the N95 has more functionality but my Dad has an N80 and I've never really liked the Symbian interface compared to SE (just what you're used to I guess).
Will see how this replacement one is - a lot of the articles I've read have been very positive about the K850i photo functionality so I'm hoping I might be in more luck this time round).
Agree with others that the 850 has been more of a sidestep than progress cf. the 800, although the HSDPA has been a massive boost.
Cheers
A.
