I just got mine today from O2 Online and I have the 037 firmware
UI is slow, nothing at all like the demo tour video shows. Took a picture with the flash and couldn't believe what I saw...
with flash
without flash
Judging by the firmware description the firmware I have is unbranded and from what you guys have said it doesn't look like the flash sync issue has been fixed in this one! When I take a pic you can clearly tell the flash fires very quickly and the phone takes the pic slightly afterwards.
Disappointing!

I got My K850I from O2 Yest with R1CA037, I also took some pics with the back on, when the back was removed tho the pics were loads better
The first Pic is of my phone in Room Light (With the Flash Still on Though)
This Pic is in pitch black and just using the flash on the phone

They should put a note in the box to say the film on the back confuses the light sensor.

Yep and a health warning note that this phone may cause stress!!
But i have got to admit now, Im warming to the K850i now that i have newer software, at least i can take photos using the phone and hope it last until i get back from the usa.
Im also going to try a video call from US to UK (If the US network allows me as they use 3g for data not video calling) now that will be cool.

How are you guys getting the new software?
I'm waiting for the update for my K850 coz the laggyness bugs the hell out of me. The Xmedia bar thing could be a lot smoother!
If that gets solved though, I'll be very happy with the phone.
I managed to get the phone using my PCs internet and it was really cool: loads of RSS news items came up on the home screen. Very cool!

I have to say that my 5th K850 is perfect. I'm loving it now.

Right then SE, What about all you other fans and people.
