Description:

K850, successor of the K800/K810 upgrades the camera resolution to 5 megapixels, keeps the Xenon flash and uses new automatic lens cover. It features QVGA display, M2/microSD combined memory slot and stereo Bluetooth in compact candybar body. A strange solution is the D-pad, which is situated over the numeric keyboard.

love the K850i

22 Jan 2009 Jas11

10 out of 10

I just bought my K850i last December. Though at first I had issues with the "blue ring of death", but after the firmware upgrade the phone just became AMAZING!!! I love the updated cam driver, the media features, the photo editing package (Best Pic and Photo DJ). The radio and music player is also really good! The 5 mpx camera is just wonderful, my macro shots were stunning, the zoom / crop was very detailed. The xenon flash is very effective for shots in the dark, though the Twilight setting is also very good. I also love its phone features (which you sometimes forget it is one!), voice calls were clear, MMS, HSDPA, email. Just buy the phone and you will not regret it!!!

Pros

5mpx cam, rich multimedia features, unique design, lens is protected by an automatic cover and scratch proof glass

Cons

keypad outlay, fingerprint magnet

for montreal and laval people

i don't want to insult this phone, because i'm having problems with it. i just want to alert people in montreal that a bunch of scammers that run a store called Electro super prix is ripping people off and making great companies like Motorola and Sony look bad. they sell you defective phones and say that's how the phone is it works like that with defects. well i know for sure that this phone is great because my friends have it and it produces not problems. there's a chinese guy there named Chao Zhang and he's full of s**t. he'll tell you lie upon lie. they refuse to do exchanges or refunds.

this phone is great. it produces wonderful 5mpx pictures and it's really realiable (unless you buy it from electro super prix then it's not reliable at all). the sound quality is amazing and the mp3 function will knock your sockx off. the battery is powerful and stands on its word of long battery life. this is a rock solid phone. i know i tested about 6 of them from my friends.

Pros

nice crisp and clean screen
mp3 is loud and clear
camera will rock your world
flash is quite powerful (for a phone it great, can't expect better)
very solid feel
slides into pocket with ease.
battery lasts very long
won't fail on you

Cons

buttons a bit too small
electro super prix sells damages phones to you. so watch out!!!

The camera is superb. good contrast. cheaper than N95, but the problem is the keypad because it is difficult to use with these small keys. I am using this phone but I think I could have been used a SE C902.
