okay it has nice menus etc yes tpsez, it is a mroe attractive phone and ive always thought that, but it just doesnt do anything to the same standard.
when a manufacturer produces a phone which really stands out and is a breath of fresh air technology wise i appreciate it, like the new samsung i850. the g810 was nice and the xperia is a nice machine. but the k850 is just poor.
also anonymous...
i know the phones are more than a camera. the n82, phwoar, tell me about it.

Don't be so quick to judge. Ive got a lot of friends in places that allow me to test phones and all that. And after my purchase of my K850 i learnt nt to be too quick to judge a device by jus lukin at a spec sheet. Although i love my N81 and friends N82 and N95-8gb ive come to realy love my K850. It may not have all the bells and whistles of a N82 but its got more than enough. My N81 is now my 2nd phone and K850 my primary/main. You call it primitive? Mate the S60 UI looks primitive next to this, i love S60 for its apps but i find a lot of java apps that are similar. I agree with eddie on his comparison,i have the very same conclusion mate.

nick, 29 Jul 2008tbh if you just wanted a phone for calling you would get a 3310, not a k850.
people who buy... morenokia may have used cheap plastic for the N82.
anyway nick, how would you know that everyone who decides to buy either k850 or N82 is after the camera? you can't put words on someone else's mouth.
it's not just all camera. k850i wins overall. ;)

people who buy... moreThe K850i is much more of a solid phone also.
The N82 seem very platic like. The button's are crunchy sounding.

nick, 29 Jul 2008tbh if you just wanted a phone for calling you would get a 3310, not a k850. people who buy... moreTrue, but in a phone sense. Like texting, makiing calls by voice dial or speed dial and overall functiionality. I like how the K850i does over the N82. The N82 pics are better but the camera interface of the K850i is better. The N82 is a smart phone, which steps it up from the K850i. And it has more functions. I wish I could take the two and combind what I like of them both and make a mega awesome phone. Now would'nt that be great.

Now that I own both the K850i and N82. I believe from my experience that both phones are great.
As a phone, the K850i edges the N82. Sure the N82 has a lot more features. But The K850i operates as a phone better. It is more call and text friendly. It also feels more solid and sturdy. My N82 feels plasticky as well as all the touch functions. The call end buttons make a plastic crunchy noise when depressed. Although the pics are not as good, but not far behind. The user interface of the phone and the functions after taking pictures are better. But the N82 makes up for that in many ways.
The N82 edges the K850i in picture quality. I believe the main reason for this is the poor design of the K850i. The piece of glass in front of the lens is a design flaw. The piece of glass is what screws up most of the pics, expecially when taking pics at night with lights shining back. This turns the pics black. The Zenon flash is also weaker on the K850i. This is very noticable between the phones. I don't understand, because the previous zenon flashes of the cyber shot series were awesome. But when taking pictures during the day or in well lighted areas the K850 takes comparible pics.
I would have to say. If one is looking for picture quality and a lot of cool functions. Definetly the N82 is the phone to go for.
If one is looking for phone quality and functionability with a cool camera. Then go for the K850i.

Used SE phones for years and loved em all,but this was the worst phone i've EVER had,I seriously couldn't hold this thing in my hand for more than a few minutes without wanting to throw it at the wall.So wanted to like it but in the end it was shoved in its box and sold after a week.I applaud SE for trying out new designs and such but that key pad is an absolute ergonomic disaster unless you have fingers like twiglets.The touch sensitive keys are a nice touch,except i always ended up pressing them in error when making use of the tiny keys beneath them,especially 'up' on the D-pad.Constantly having to wipe the camera lense was also frustrating,and made taking spontaneous photos impossible,all this and the sluggish software made it impossible for me to bear.Such a shame really,it really could have been so much better.

1st Sony I have had and if this is what they are like the last. 8mths and 2 replacement handsets and back for 3 repairs. S/w a joke. Camera ok but LG Viewty pics much better. Think twice if you are considering this handset.

Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970if everyone bought nokias or samsungs or HTC's or decent phones we'd get more applications and phones would get better.
but phones like SE are just nothing. they are primitive. they always offer last years models a year too late.
