> keep k850i? or move to viewty?
Bookmark topic
sorry if this is the wrong place, but i got a dillemma....
i've got a k850i at the moment, with a some dust in the lens. so i phoned up o2 and asked if they could exchange it, and for some reason (i got rather trigger happy) i ended up with an lg viewty coming to replace the k850i....
i think the viewty is ace, but i'm not sure i want to change to it from k850i.
o2 said if i want to keep my phone then i can just refuse delivery and it'll be sent back.
so the thing is, will i be making a mistake if i move to viewty?

^^ If you're willing to forget SE's new menu UI with a flash based menu in Viewty, and you're willing to loose all that camera capabilities K850 has. and if you're willing to use touchscreen instead of a hard screen with touch and non touch sensitive keypad. then it's okay. go for it(Viewty). anyway that's a lovely phone

that's the viewty...
i've decided in the end to stick with the SE K850i because:
viewty isn't compatible with address book
viewty can't take full advantage of salling clicker (phone events)
viewty has not got user-upgradable firmware...
also aparrently the camera isn't quite as good either... although the video quality is top-notch,

What did you say to O2... I have had my SE K850i for just under 1 month and disappointed... keeps restarting, freezing and the interface is just slow... Would like to swap for a viewty but dont know how long I have...

Get an N95
Its far more capable than the SE and records amazing video too.
Oh and you can plug it into your TV for full screen games and video and pictures etc etc

Of Course if you go with N95 you wanna go for the 8GB model sleeker better. Thats if you want to go to that option. Or N82 or G800 plenty choice out there .

if you allready have k850...stay with it.
just look at the camera test here on esato between viewty & k850..there won k850 quite easy (on the camera functions), because it have better camera features, and manage indoor, flash, night pics better................
think viewty is a ok phone, but its to big for me.
it also record videos very good...120 fps (at QVGA resolution), 30 fps at VGA resolution. thats its triumf card..............
so if you want good pics...k850
or if you want good video....viewty
here is the scores from the test by the way...k850 got higher scores on all camera tests...landscape, night, macro, detail.
