how a huge company can miss the issue of lowering the bitrate in a firmware update is really beyond any logical explanation...

if they did it on purpose, either there is something that we 'supposedly' will gain from the lowered bitrate, or may be they are thinking of a future plan to gain money by introducing a better version of K750i (ex. with CCD sensor)

if this is a mistake, then they are really, really careless, or plain blind, since I cannot see any relationship between what the updated firmware fixes and the video quality.

In any case, this is really annoying, and SE should have a better answer than 'we are investigating the issue'...

@aydahm

Its does not seem like a misstake. Someone got the answer from SE support it was lowered for stability reason (apperently lot of people have had problems with the phone because of the high bit rate).

True or fales ? Well that's up to you to judge.

Most likely false, Im not going to upgrade the firmware for a while until the next one comes out, the video function to have lower bitrate may be an attempt to save memory, but with expandable memory that makes no sense.

And the K750i was advertised for its amazing video quality. Unfortunately its not the case anymore. It might be an attempt to add pros to the W800. But I doubt that.

Not at all. Has nothing to do with that. People may have experienced crashes, hangs etc. with the higher bit rate. If that's the case I believe this is a temporary solution until a proper fix is made, which probably takes longer time to finish.

Just my guessing.

For its camera yes. For its video quality ? Where did you see that ?

Damn i hope so.

If SE dont fix the video quality back to normal it'll be like a splinter in my mind regarding the K750i, knowing it can be more than what it actually is. I'll probably end up selling the phone - SE have annoyed me that much by lowering video quality !
