Firstly i have found picture quality to be on a par with the k800 and better than the dark pictures of the c902.I have had no problems using the keypad.It is a bit bulky, and feels solidly built.The three touch screen buttons are a nice touch and make navigating the menus easy.These phones are available quite cheaply on auction sites and are much better than the majority of cheap touch screen phones that are currently flooding the market.

Just bought a k850i on an auction web site for £48 and i have to say it is an excellent phone.The hi resolution screen is way ahead from the k800i and larger.Picture quality is good although i haven't used the flash.I am not a touch screen fan so i was not sure about the three touch buttons but once you get used to them they are no problem.Also the keypad is quite useable once you get used to it.All in all it is a step up from the k800i and i rate it highly.

3 years since the last post, and I still negligently purchased this phone, despite the poor reviews. Do not buy this phone! It seems nice, but it's gimmicky. The camera (which is the spearhead of the phone's specs) is lackluster at best. I've had reboot issues and had it fixed. Now I have hard key issues. Not just any key, but the star key, which is needed to unlock the phone. So you can see the redundancy and dilemma I get in when this brilliant phone sits idle. Bottom line, at least buy me dinner, Sony Ericsson, if you're gonna screw me.

i have had this phone for a while now (around 6 months). When i first brought this phone, i thought it was quite good but now time has gone by. Its became terrible! depending on how many megapixels you choose to take a picture with, it can take between 2-6 seconds to save a picture(6 seconds if you have it on 5 megapixels). Also when i sent a text message, it started to turn its self off which can become VERY annoying. Now for the Pro's, Eventhough its a cyber-shot phone, the music playback is VERY good, just as loud as a walkman. Also, the keypad is responsive. If i was you, i wouldn't buy this phone, but im not sure which other phone i would recommend you getting

my k850i is one of the best phones I’ve had up to now, but I’ve had problems since day one, 1st the loud speaker broke not sure why or how sent it back to Sony ericsson for repair. 2nd the touch screen went screen still displayed all but just where the touch screen is, sent back for repair. 3rd I can no longer user the cam with flash as the phone makes a bang as if there was something shorting out on the flash. 4th and now the screen goes off when I use number 4 or number 1 so I’m stuffed phone is now out of warranty, also got a brand new k850i that has been used about for 2months from the day the phone came out and the battery will not charge or hold charge this has also been back to Sony ericsson who could not find a problem but replaced the battery but problem is still there we have tried a number of batteries and chargers. I love the style and features of the phone but these phones in my eyes are a ticking time bomb avoid I wish I had, it cost me £600 for 2 phones that are useless now.

Terrible. This phone is an absolute nightmare when it comes to its firmware and reliability. I have used the SEUS several times to wipe and update the phone to stop it from crashing, as it would randomly turn off and restart even when it isn't doing anything, even when it's in my pocket! It crashes during calls, writing/sending a text, browsing the net, going through pictures, it pretty much crashes by bringing up the menu. The camera is bad aswell, most of the time it takes pictures that are out of focus or too dark or too bright because of the flash. Avoid this phone. 0/5 (If I could rate it that)

Like someone said, it is awesome when it works! But that is rare. I have spend like a quarter of the phones value on having it sent in. And all they do is format it!! At the moment the backlight keeps dying every few seconds of use, the touch screen sometimes goes off, now and again the phone restarts and my keypad is falling apart...but when it works its great.

Don't get this phone! The problems outweigh the good points. I have had to return it for repair about 4 times and the 5th time it was out of contract and the repair will cost £40: Problem experienced were:phone freezes; no reception; blank screen; phone switches itself off; cuts out during a call; at times unresponsive keys/phone; it's unreliable. I am an SE fan and have owned K750i, K800i, K850i, W580i and the W995. My K850i is currently with T-Mobile awaiting collection or payment for repair and even their staff acknowledge it as being a problematic phone.I've gone back to using my old K800i - a brilliant phone even after 3 years.

I bought this phone second hand but it was in very good condition and came fully boxed with all the accessorys, and was obviously well looked after. The only thing that was up with it was the loud speaker was crackerly if the volume at max. I love the fact that it would take m2 and micro sd memory cards and that it had a light on it witch was a feature i really missed after upgrading from the k750i to the k800i. Even though i hardly use it, i would of liked it to have infa-red. I soon got used to the 3 touch buttons and stared to really love the handset. How ever after about 4 weeks the problems started.... Some of them are minor little ones but with all the faults this phone has even the tiniest little thing makes you hate it even more. First my screen that was absolutly scratch free, got very scuffed up off a lighter that was also in my pocket. It was sending blank texts while i was making calls thanks to the touch buttons. Then the headphones stopped working and i had to pay £30 to get a new charging socket fitted. Then the stupid flap at bottom broke so had to be super glued shut. Now im used to sonyericssons crashing and freezing but the k850i is awfull! It is so slow at times you will feel like tearing your hair out, especialy when your tryin to make a call and it won't let you. It turns its self off in the middle of phone calls, after taking a picture, in the middle of writing texts or whilst downloading and you loose your pic or the text you were writing. The camara is good most of the time but sometimes i found the flash wouldn't come on and when it did it was too bright. The signal is very poor. After sending lots of texts the buttons hurt your thumb. I also hate the new chargers that let you use the headphones at the same time, they keep popping out. The over all feel of the phone is cheap and plasticy. It also doesn't have much internal memory. Recently after it froze and i had to take out the

I have owned the K750i, K800i, K850i and the W960i. Out of all of them, i would say this one was the best! People obviosuly have no idea how to position their hands so they don't block the flash when taking photos. Nor do they know how to set the camera up by the sound of it! THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAMERA, IT'S THE USER AT FAULT! My phone was very slow, although this was somewhat rectified with a firmware update. Although as my phone was branded to Vodafone (haha) the problem lay with THEIR firmware and not sony ericssons. People who moan about the keys being too small? Go on diet, I can manage! Theyre actually the easiest keys to use on any phone I've EVER had (up to this point where I've a QWERTY keypad on my phone). The 3G speed if you're on the right network (I'm with 3) can download a 9MB MP3 faster than what my ADSL connection can at home! Ignore what all these idiots say about the camera, it's nothing to do with the phone, just idiots that didnt want to take a few days to learn how to use it! If you're going to buy this phone, don't hold back! I promise you won't regret it!

I agree with others. The feel of this phone is pretty cheap and plasticky compared to past Ericssons. My main issue with it, is that it often randomly shuts down, and illuminates the keypad, and freezes. If I dont remove the battery within six seconds of it doing this, it erases ALL my sim data and my memory card data and reverts back to its 'out of the box' state! And on top of that, the signal reception strength is virtually non-existent. At my desk, in the middle of the city, it has one bar of reception signal, and often has no bars at all, and cant find the network. My friends have Nokias on the same network as me, and they have perfect signal strength. But my K850 struggles to get a signal. Its one of the worst phones I've ever owned, and I've had it for over two years now. Stay away from this one!

I have never had a problem with the phone especially no problems at all with the camera. If anything the flash is too bright. However, as a media phone it performs way above the usual standards. I have had the phone for two years and have loved every minute of it. I really think these people with camera problems either dont know how to use the camera or the first catch released by sony had some faults. Over all it is a very good phone and the internet on it is extremely fast. I would recommend this phone to any one.

I've had this phone for nearly two years, during which time I've taken hundreds of pictures in a wide variety of situations. I've not had any problems with the camera at all. However, I have had problems with software latch-ups (keypad freezing)which sometimes needed a battery removal to fix. Also, the touch screen operating pressure is very variable and could be a bit better. The small keys could give many users problems but I've managed reasonably well.

Not quite sure why everyone's slating the camera. Once you get it figured it's brilliant. That is, provided the phone itself is working. Quite frankly a nightmare. Constantly crashes itself, turns off and on again, refuses to send/receive texts as well as calls at times, freezes for minutes on end. Myself and anyone I know who has this phone says exactly same thing when it's mentioned 'It's awful isn't it' Has raised my blood pressure tenfold. When working, a good phone but not worth the 90% of the time it's not working. Can't wait until contract's up and I can take a hammer to it.Seriously.

I have purchased 2 Sony Ericsson K850i phones over the last year and a half. The first worked great for just about one year with the occasional freezing but a quick restart or removing and reinserting the battery would help. Then one morning, I tried to use my phone and the middle touch screen select wouldn't work. But if I touched anywhere around the keys i.e. the flat surface, it would register as the 'select' I didn't throw down the phone or anything. It just starting giving problems on it's own. It was repaired and quite costly I must add to repair it, but I decided to get a new one after this. My new K850i worked great for all of one month and then one random morning as I was in a call, the phone cut off on me and while it was attempting to reload, the phone froze while only the keypad and the ring around the camera was lighting. And it refused to start back working even after I turned off the phone and turned it back on many times and took out the battery and reinserted it. And the Update Software didn't even help. In total, the interface is so user friendly and the phone has an AMAZING camera! Totally better than the Nokia N95 so if you are a photo junkie, you'll fall in love with the camera quality and output but you'll only end up with a broken heart and your pockets empty. DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!

Ive had this phone for some months now, and overall, its a shocking bit of technology. The retards at Sony Ericsson need to get their act together and do something about the appallingly BUGGED SOFTWARE that makes it SHUT ITSELF DOWN! That particular problem gets progressively worse until mine was shutting itself off about every 30 seconds. You can download an update which sorts it for about 6 months, but then you have to update again. Oh and beware: if you ask this phone to do a number of tasks in quick succession, it will throw a tantrum, freeze and then NOT turn off when you ask. You have to remove the battery to make it work again. Forget the camera, it's terrible; if you want to take pictures and video, buy an ACTUAL camera. Other than those things, i love it. It's incredibly robust so you can drop it and it won't fall apart, the buttons actually make it easier to text and the square retical/keys are excellent. But honestly, BUY SOMETHING ELSE. There are much be tter devices out there. And you won't have to look hard to find one better than this piece of tripe.

I have had this phone for a good few months now, i have found it very easy to use and it has very good features. The camera is very good until i try to take certain photos with flash and doesn't seem to work. I haven't had any problem with the keys like some people have, and found them very easy to get used to. The only real downside i have with this phone is that it turns its self off occasionly for no apparant reason. But all in all a good phone!!

i sort of love the phone but hate it at the same time, the buttons are far too small and i have never found a way to lock the key pad when i make a call. i end up sending serveral blanks txts due to the touch buttons. the camera side is poor compared to other phones, other than that i have never had any problems im glad to say

I loved everything about my K850i, but after 18 months of daily use, it finally gave up and corrupted on me. However, apart from not being offering a numeric option for texts, I really enjoyed using this handset. The camera was first class and I really liked the layout and overall look. Not sure whether to go back to a Nokia now, since Sony Ericsson collects so many bad reviews.

I've had this phone for 18 months and have hated it for about the past 16 months! I had to swap the first one because it wouldn't charge properly and I still have the same problem, no matter what it will only charge to 99%. The camera, although it might be 5MP is let down by an awful flash which means most of my photos turn out just black. The buttons do odd things and do not respond and select things which i haven't selected. the button's are quite hard to text on, oh and it's ugly. I'm not normally one to bitch but i haaate this phone, do not get it! it's not just me either, my friend also got it but it broke after about a year- she hated it before then too

Myself and my wife decided to go on contract at the same time and decided also that we liked the same phone, so we BOTH opted for the k850i. Therefore I can say with certainty that...it’s an appalling phone. We've both had exactly the same problems, so not isolated incidents. The main problem is the phone's software. After 6 months of using it - it’s incredibly slow. I mean, at a standstill sometimes. We've moved all our media off it onto our home PC and it's still drags its heels. Of late, (16 months on), we've found that when we're on a call and the phone gets a text message (or visa-versa) at the same time, it turns itself off, vibrates, then turns itself back on. Then takes an age to get back to the status of being able to work in a normal way again. Occasionally it has a sulk and refuses to turn on at all for a good 15 mins and only after taking the batt and sim out, it gets off its backside and decides to do some work. Very frustrating if you desperately need to use it! The pics have been outstanding quality but, its lengthy to navigate around and find where they're saved etc. We were drawn in by its flashy looking touch screen stuff but it’s a gimmick. On balance, I'd rather have a phone that does the basics first like being able to talk and text, before taking pictures and fannying about with on-board games. Sorry but its poor! Summary is: good for the first 6 months, then it’s ready to be retired to that mobile phone recycling graveyard in the sky. And remember, we've both had EXACTLY the same problems! So it's a design fault. Rubbish!

This is just the worst phone I have ever had. I will never go SE again. It has a mind of its own and is completely unreliable and dysfunctional.I cant even send a text using this phone as it starts opening folders as soon as I try and type in Hi to whoever I am trying to text. I downloaded latest software in case that was the problem with that and 20 minutes later it was exactly the same. Same problem unable to use any feature on the phone. It certainly has the right name on the camera CYBER well I would call it HYPER as it automatically chooses to do 10 seperate functions as soon as I turn the phone on and even touch it.Didnt even get to try camera out as i could see that camera buttons are way too small for a grown adult like me to use with adult size fingers.The phone appears to freeze in between its fits and my opinion to whoever designed this rubbish phone must have had a brain freeze whilst developing it. SE are not interested in refunding my money so I will t hrow the phone away in the bin and go and buy a nokia!

Fantastic camera in daylight, as good as any digital camera. Horrifically overexposed photos at night, especially out partying, which to be honest is where I take 90% of mine. Once or twice a year it dies and needs software upgrades or the stupid combination touchscreen repaired. As a phone it is great and I find Sony much more intuitive than Nokia. The Bluetooth works well and battery life is fantastic (after I upgraded the battery). Overall, get it if you want daytime camera plus phone.

Quite simply the worst phone ever. The touch screen section has grown a personality of its own so sends text's when I’m in the middle of typing or has a little fit and goes into all the options. I have to wait till it stops so I can cancel whatever it was trying to do and carry on texting. If I start typing a phone number, the back touch screen button presses so I loose it. This happens for a further few times before I give up or wait a while till I’ve calmed down to try again. Sometimes if I try to ring someone, it decides it doesn’t want to ring them and cancels it, or hangs up on them much to my mothers annoyance when I continue to hang up on her mid conversation. If I use the internet and try to send a long email, the touch part of the screen will highlight all by itself and it goes back a page so I loose everything I just did. I have given up with the net now, it’s so unreliable. The flash doesn’t work most of the time. So a lot of the pictures are dark. Though I might get lucky and it decides to work but only sometimes. The buttons are stupidly small, wonder which brainiac at Sony decided it was a good idea. Jeez. When I first got the phone, it was as good as gold, and I could look past the pathetic buttons. I was very pleased with it and hadn’t one bad word to say. But a few months later and its now possessed. It’s obvious that the touch screen has malfunctioned, and the buttons...well just cant help themselves because they have always been pathetic. But my friend has the same phone and is having the exact same problems but hers likes to turn it self off and it has decided it doesn’t want to play any sound anymore. Its a very unreliable phone and I cant wait to get a new one, blow this one up to smithereens and I will be definitely be crying with laughter and relief when I do it. I might even have a little party to celebrate. Any excuse for a party eh!

Avoid like plague! The keypad is awful, you'll get fingers ulcers within a few days and will keep touching the touch sensitive part of the screen by accident. Poor battery life. Camera isn't good, photos are too bright or completely dark even if you hold the phone on the edge. Not recommended at all.

a truely awful phone. no matter how it is held the flash pics are comprimised. sometimes it works better if screen icon pressed to take pic rather than button but not always. the phone keeps switching itself on & off, often after taking a pic which is then lost. the touch screen is abysmal, the keys work intermittently or seemingly with no pressure at all. I previously had a K750i which was far superior in all respects even picture quality despite less pixels. I would never have a touch screen again after this & doubt will buy sony ericsson again. very disappointing.& btw - I have learnt to use it properly & it still fails

I like this phone, much better than the LG chocolate I had before, I don't seem to have any problems with the camera, I just makesure my fingers aren't covering the flash, which I admit, can be a bit annoying. The resolution of the screen is excellent, not sure about the touch buttons, there not too bad, but I'd rather just have buttons!! It looks brilliant I think, mainly down to the blue rectangle on the keypad, I like this phone, will be keeping for a long time i think

I got this phone about nearly 18 months ago. Worse mistake of my life. It caused me so many problems. It broke down in the first week and the handset was replaced. That handset stopped working after about a month and a half. It was then repaired by sony ericsson and worked for a while before breaking down again. It kept switching itself on and off, sometimes just froze and I had to take the battery out and put it back in. Occasionally the camera lens wouldnt open wither. This was repaired yet again by sony ericcson and worked for a few months. It kept switching itself on and off for a long number of months, I gave up on sending it for repair because they took so long to 'repair'. After a while I had enough and gave it off for repair. That was the third time the replacement phone broke down. It broke down again with the camera lens not opening and the phone freezing and restarting even in the middle of a phone call. My advice to everyone is to never get this phone. The camera quality is brilliant, the games are fun to play but seriously..whats the point of all these features i f the phone doesnt even switch on!!

the worst sony phone i have ever had. Problems: freezes when txting, you loose sound when talking, the camera shutter doesent open sometimes -even after taking the battery i dosent work, the pictures are worse than 2mb of k750i, fragile screen - mine broke after a couple months (cost £50 to repair), the ulimate problem as the keypad failure - the bottom half of keypad became like the touch screen & the touch screen stopped working (i sent it back at got it permently replaced), touch screen is a bit 2 sensitive, software issues. Good points: you could easily use it as weapon: its quite sturdy/strong & good battery life. I hate this phone, i would have like to thrown it off a tall building and watch it smash in2 millions of pieces, however, i cant do that if i need new phone.

Well, i recently had the Samsung U800; it is terrible, the phone is so slow, the camera is no use, its just BLUERH. However, i've recently traded phones to the Sony Erricson K850i, and personally i love it! It's only supposed to be temporary til' i get my upgrade but I don't want to give it away :/ the camera is amazing, and the layout is perfect! It's so easy to use. This only disappointment is how big it is, but i suppose its what you get from being such an outstanding phone ;).
