    So when is the K850i coming out?

    i guess it'll be my next phone, would go for the k770i instead but how does an LED flash compare to a real flash?

    damn...how do you guys plan for something like this.

    my contract hits the 12mth mark tomorrow and i've yet to send in the cancellation letter in fear of running out of time and losing my number before the phone is available.

    Re: So when is the K850i coming out?

    I had a K750i - sucky joystick
    I now have a K800i - suckier joystick

    Anyone know if this latest K...i has a non-sucky joystick. If so, I think it could be my next phone

    Re: So when is the K850i coming out?

    I don't think any of the new ones have an actual joystick like they used to. They all use a four way pad or just four buttons instead.

    Re: So when is the K850i coming out?

    I have the w850i And am looking at either thei k850 or the W910i as my next phone

    THe k850i is winning though as it has the better camera and all the other features are pretty similar

    Re: So when is the K850i coming out?

    K850i is dated as 14th October on our systems at work. It doesn't have a joystick on it, think se have ditched that type of design.

    From what I have seen of it decent features are definately going to be a selling point. 5mp camera, memory card slot is an M2 but the rep did say that it also supports MicroSD. Had loads of people asking for it already. Think the date I mentioned should be right as it has been put back by 2 weeks already.

    I was sceptical of this, but just checked it out and it's true.

    This is a big deal for SE phones.

    Re: So when is the K850i coming out?

    time to shop around for crazy deals that i can force vodafone to match

    i was going to leave them but apparently its a good strategy to just get them to match instead



    still comparing:

    K770i
    http://www.sonyericsson.com/spg.jsp?...e=pp&pid=11372

    K850i
    http://www.sonyericsson.com/spg.jsp?...e=pp&pid=10868


    its the size/weight that concerns me but i guess theres not that much size difference between them.

    Re: So when is the K850i coming out?

    Wish I had a look around more, I just upgraded to the 810i instead of the 850. Was going for the samsung U600 but the screen looked so flimsy that I could snap it

    Re: So when is the K850i coming out?

    Any thoughts on the best way to buy a K850? I am not a fan of phones that have been reconfigured with operator specific firmware, so much so I flashed my K800 with SE firmware as soon as Vodafone sent it to me with all of their rubbish on it.

    So other than forking out £360 for a sim-free K850, anyone got any other ideas?

    Its has a real flash like the k800i apparently

    I cant wait to get one of these. The intergrated lens cover and the new direction pad to replace the dodgy joystick are a great idea.

    I dont think its going to come cheap though.

    I always prefered the LED flash as you could use it as a light as well...
