Hi to all.
Regarding the issue of screen shutting off when the button is pressed is due to the POOR positioning of the LCD's flex-cable. FYI: to elaborate, the LCD's flex-cable was lay over the CPU's protective metal housing, right at the sharp edge. The key button no.4 and left-button is right above the flex-cable, therefore after prolonged use, the conductors of the flex-cable breaks.
Once this condition happen, the only way of solving it is a replacement of the LCD.
K850, a good phone that was purposely made to spoil easily. (*so that we pay more, and they get more)

i agree with nati. i've only had mine for, like, 9 mos. and it's starting to let me down. T_T
Just a week ago, I brought it to the service center to have it repaired... again. When I press the buttons, the screen just shuts off and it got freakin' annoying! I can't use it at all. T_T
I also had it repaired last month because I got BROD. Now I'm wondering if I should replace my phone with another SE. Specs are good but I'm wondering about it's durability. It's sad because SE makes really good phones. T_T

After less then 1 year of usage:
- the phone suddenly turns off
- the software is very slow
- and during the calls the touch pad keeps active, starting shortcuts.
I really hate this phone.

Anonymous, 09 Mar 2010rubbish handphone...stupid design n not consumer friendly a... moreone way to say this the sonny ericsson hangs all the times because the 3G is open try click GSM only, go to settings, connectivity, mobile networks, then click GSM/3G then click GSM only. its simple dont waste your money. and if you want to use the 3G then do the same format but turn it back to GSM and 3G.

Jeff & K850i;)
If you will look closely with previous posts, most of the people are giving precautions although some of them sounded upset -they may really have owned one. Both of you may still have your phone in good condition but you have to take considerations.
Our phone (I used to own one -liked it! loved it!) is really sensitive overtime, especially on countries either having four seasons or too humid. The screen on my phone was fine until moisture from my hand or pants pocket affected the screen.
I've had this phone way back 2007, I think it has done its job and I am very satisfied. As much as I would like to send it for repairs I recently decided to upgrade to a newer SE Model.
So as others say -carefull with your phone, you'll love it more!

I totally agree with you Jeff, i have this phone (and i still have it) exactly 18 months!! and nobody can tell me "this phone is bad... the screen have some problems or the touch key not works... bla bla bla"
i have only one word AWESOME phone, but that who have problem with this phone and writte some negative comments i have the answer they don`t know how to use it or the second answer is so simple they never have this phone in their hands and is jealous haha
And dranzer what u say ? "...really carefull with the display.the display has no protecting cover on it.so its really vulnerable..." Are u sure dude abt that ???
and that Anonymous with the touch keys... lol u are never have this phone and like i said NOONE can tell me bad things for this phone NOONE bcs i still have it 18 months for now, and there are NONE problems with the software, touch keys, display etc. And thos who writte bad comments is nokia or other brand fans or they are the same person and writte the same posts with different names. However i love my phone K850i and i trust in Sony Ericsson brand bcs they are Rules!

the following is to be read knowing and considering the major improvements included in newer phones
I couldnt disagree more with most of these comments. i've had my k850i for 9 months now and it's simply great, not just the camera (which is awesome, absolutely no cons whatsoever IF YOU KNOW HOW TO USE IT), but the phone itself. The soft keys work perfectly, the d pad is great and the keys are, in my opinion, the best i've ever used. you just have to press them with the tip of your fingers and thats the end of it, they work just fine.
i got a cover a few days after i bought it and there it is, shining as new without a single mark (neither on the screen or on the back)... the plastic it's made of is really high quality material, and the only painted parts which lost colour are some bits of the d pad due to my constant rubbing them with my nails while messaging.
and its design is, in my opinion, probably the best for a candybar phone. the software never gave me a single problem, i actually never had a problem of any kind. the best phone i've ever had (and i've tried n95, zn5, various samsung models...)
So if you are considering buying this phone (i'm not sure its available anymore, i hope it is) do so without hesitating - its definately worth its price... or maybe i just got the best unit they made :P
and man, is that camera awesome or what??
