This is my first SE phone and when I received it, I was really happy with the UI (important thing to me) and other features a lot of phones don't have. After some reading, BROD was mentioned and I bought some credits through DaVinci and KulenKendi, spending an extra $60 out of my pocket to upgrade the phone properly.
The past couple weeks my phone has been extremely slow, random reboots which happen maybe 3-4 times a week. My phone turned off today by itself in the morning, it was a full battery. I went a few hours without realizing my phone was off probably missing a lot of important calls. Many times the phone turns itself off and when I turn it on, I'm always scared of BROD. I have many appointments and notes which are very important, if those are lost, not sure what I would do.
As I can see, this is the worst phone SE has made, so I will not base my opinion solely on this phone. I will definitely by another one but I feel ripped because for the money I spent I could have bought something much better thats more stable.
ps. The touch buttons is the worst idea SE ever had.

R3 was never gonna be, if you read the thread back a long time ago, all the later SE devices run on a new java platform, meaning they got this new firmware, K850i is still on the old platform, it is impossible to upgrade java platforms. There was never gonna be a TV feature, ever, it needed a piece of hardware. I do agree with you SE soughta failed with this phone, but remember it is a cybershot, it was not built for multitasking functionilities that you see in a smart-phone, or a music-multitsking you see in walkmans.
W.T.Hell ???
should i have to get smart phone simply to play my music and message at the same time ....
man dont u see how f2cked up that media mamger is ...
man kdplayer looks good and works better with skins than this media manager....
with this new media manager i cant even hide folder which i used to do with my k800... man last phone i loved was k750.. it was fast ... and best....
SE cant and now doesnt have the same knowledge . power to create another legend like k750...
a phone which cant even play music and text message at same time is brick!!!!
my friends phone , a 2000 Rs .. roughly 40$ phone does play and he can msg at same time ... but my 400 $ phone cant .... dont u find it some thing is wriong ......

Do not expect any firmware updates. The hardware is piece of shit. That is why SE is showing bad result. To much faith on DB3150. Next phone is DB3210 or DB3350.

Ever since the flash to the latest firmware (back in July after BSOD) I have Maybe had 2 reboots. The phone has been Very solid, if somewhat slow to my liking, but still dramatically faster than it used to be. I was just hoping for a few more fixes to the camera driver and maybe small speed increase but maybe that was too much to hope for... I find the rotation speed in media to be on the slow side when compared to other devices with an accelerometer. Any cool apps for that feature besides the marble madness game?

Just saw my boss' SE G900. He said he wasn't satisfied with the camera.
I tried the phone and took a couple of shots and... well, what do you know - I'm glad i stayed with my k850i...
believe me, G900 camera is a downer.
