Maryz, 07 Oct 2008Need an advise!!!Does the version K850i have WiFi?Because t... moreNo the k850i does not have wifi. But it does have HSDPA which is extremely fast and does not require being within range of some wifi network.

      Hi all,
      I have a K850i Velvet Blue from 8 months, and never had problems with it.
      A, about 3 weeks ago, I was taking pictures with camera and the battery discharged fully and the lens cover remained open. Then when I puttet in on chargind, the lens was still open, I give it a restart and then de lens has closed. I don't think that was such a big problem... anyway.
      I have the latest firmware (R1FA035) and all works fine, the phone is faster than old firmware versions, with this version, the phone is very stable and a lot off bugs has been repaired.
      I use "Allok Video Converter" for converting video files to mp4, it has even the function of putting a subtitle over de image.
      I bought a HPM-70 headset for better music and I can tell that K850i is much better than W910i in music playback quality.
      I've replaced the 512MB M2 memory card with a micro SD card with 2GB memory, it works very good.
      Pictures taken with the camera is very good if you know to setup it. If you take pics with all settings set to "auto", then the pictures are not so good.
      I recommend this settings:
      1. outdoor, day (sun): Normal, Document, 5MP, auto, off, off, auto, normal, daylight, off, stabilizer off, expure bias -0.7
      2. outdoor, day (cloudy): Normal, Twilight portrait, 5MP, auto, off, off, auto, normal, cloudy, off, stabilizer off, expure bias 0 or -0.3
      3. outdoor, night - for family portraits: Normal, Twilight portrait, 5MP, auto, red-eye reduct, off, auto, normal, cloudy, off, stabilizer off, expure bias 0
      4. outdoor, night - for portrait: Normal, Twilight landscape, 5MP, auto, off, off, auto, normal, cloudy, off, stabilizer off, expure bias 0 or -0.3.
      Hope that helps. :-)
      PS: Sorry for my bad english, I'm from Romania...

      And remember... the phone is very good, two of my friend have one and they all never had problems with it. Update to the latest f/w version using SEUS to eliminate some of bugs and take care or it.

      Later...

            All these complaints about certain functions not working on the k850i. I'm on my second one and any problem I've ever had was remedied with a quick firmware upgrade. To all you whiners: grow a pair, put that usb cable to good use, and upgrade your firmware, or stop complaining.

                  I also got mine back, but it still freezes now and again if I move to fast. What I have learnt is that most k850i have the same problem, the touch screen frezzes. I hope SE is taking note so they can improve on their glitch.

                        Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970yup! jon2 and tsepz are just playing around here..look at the timestamp of tsepz and jon2(5mins interval).

                        i know what they'll gonna do next. tsepz will now write here then jon2 will now post after a few hours or even a day just to say they're not the same person or couple for that matter. lolz..

                        @tsepz- voda fone replacing the touch keypads? lolz.. you know how to invent things.. i hope that's possible. they've even replaced the "LCD"? i wonder what kind of "k850" you have. you had a lot of so-called "problems" with your non-existent "k850i". poor you.. you should have changed brand by now. go on and join Jon2 and buy yourself a "nokia". lolz..

                              SE K850i is really a great phone.No problems at all.But i hv some friends who have K850i ,
                              but all of them sold it at 20% price due to many problems.Consider yourself lucky if this phone works nicely just like mine.
                              But overall its a superb phone.
