Sony Ericsson K850i

There are some very good features and the camera is decent

in term of picture quality and user interface. However if the camera is too close to an object you wont see anything

This is also a good phone for someone who has to swap SIM cards alot

as the SIM, memory and battery are all separated from

the flip cover in the bottom of the phone.

this is good handset but size is big make the same facility on slim handset thats it ok

piece of s**t

I've had my K850i for over two years now. In the last 6 months of owning it, the phone would just go blank, vibrate and restart itself maybe twice a day. When it does this, it wipes my SIM card, memory card and all the phone memory. I've updated the firmware 3 times to try and solve this, but its no use. I'm using it as a backup phone right now, because my other Ericsson C905 (the next model after the K850i) suffered speaker failure. Two ericssons in a row being faulty. That just poor. I'm going back to Motorola after this, because I never had any problems with them... Damn ericssons. The camera quality is poor for 5MP, and the reception is only ever at 1 bar. Sometimes no bars. I restart it, and it gets 3 bars, then begins to drop down to 1 bar reception again. Woefully bad web browser too.

Sack of cack, had 4 software upgrades, 2 new keypads & screens. Even the guy from the T Mob. shop said it had been a total disaster since its launch. My 2 sons also had k850i's & suffered similar problems.

Mine was repaired 2 months ago & now has a mind of its own, again sending random text messages.AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!!

I would like to point out, i had this phone on Orange and O2, and with both Networks i had PERFECT signal.

Where do i start? compared to new phones on the market right now, this Sony lacks many features such as decent Java games, it does come with some but all 60 second DEMOS. The camera, for a May 2008 phone is SUPERB. The quality is brilliant and the zoom is even more amazing. Also the buttons are very small but very stylish however the phone is rather chunky. The video quality also isnt very good nor is the media player. Texting is a dawdle but Sony market the "K" series as Cybershot, and as primarily fantastic cameras, and Sony, please, keep on doing that as really, thats all they are good for.

The Sony Ericsson K850i is very nice

I don't usually write complaining reviews but boy, the Sony Ericsson K850i is a bad phone.

I'm on my 4th handset in just over a year. Every time, it started switching itself off at random and eventually, switches off and never comes back on again. Every time, I went onto the Sony Ericsson website for the suggested software upgrade which was supposed to fix the problem but it never did.

I'm a total text addict and have found the buttons very hard on the thumbs- I've now even got hard skin on them!!

The camera is good when not using the zoom but as soon as I use it to zoom in very close, the picture becomes distorted and fuzzy badly.

The only positive really is that the battery life is reasonable. Other than that, this is a nightmare of a handset. My contract is due an upgrade in about a month so I can't wait to finally wave goodbye to the K850i forever!!

Had this Sony Ericsson K850i phone a year and really do not like it. It keeps trying to send texts to the first person in my address book. It occassionally freezes. Don't think the camera isgreat (which was one of the main reasons I got it for) and the MP 3 player ( although sound is good I find really fiddly).ALso fing the key board too small.
