As title says, I just bought myself a K850i and should be getting it sometime this week. However, after reading very quickly through this forum, I noticed the phone has a couple of firmware faults.
Basically, what I wanted to know was, when I get the phone, should I update it's firmware straight away, is the new firmware okay?
Also, just wondering if there was any information about what the phone can do such as this accelerator "thingy" on it, Flash themes, Animated wallpaper etc

I understand there's a search option, which I've used, but there are so many threads on the phone, it would take hours to get through, so if anyone has spare time on their hands to answer a few of my questions, I would be very grateful!

Looking very forward to getting the phone and hope it will be better than my Viewty which I'm selling in trade for it. I'll be sure to share any software etc I have for the phone in the future on here for all the help.

Thanks

flash themes - you only have Laser Precision
Animated Wallpaper - yep, its possible for k850
Accelerometer - there are some themes that are "shake control"

issues...

1. dusts, dusts, dusts
2. BROD
3. random reboots
4. video playback "sometimes" out of sync
5. annoying finger prints on the camera outer lens

that's all i can think of for now..

congratulations on your purchase! cheers!

6. Media player is still too slow, especially when multi-tasking
7. Camera driver could still use some pollishing
8. LED cannot be used while taking pictures, and video mode doesn't allow macro.

I think you're questions are already answered, anyways sites that definetely are worth to see ;

http://www.trekker-reactor.isq-networks-server.com/projects/

^- A great site with some flash/accelerometer stuff, its nice to see and use them , (you could check youtube for more kind of this stuff)

http://eseth.net/k850/download/

^- Great site with a lot of quality themes for free, i know there are alot of free-theme sites but this one really hits it, they also have Shake It themes, (also check youtube for preview!)
