    miro99, 21 Aug 2008thanks! but, there I can only update my software, not th... moreNow this is what Wikipedia says about it;
    Most devices attached to modern systems are special-purpose computers in their own right, running their own software. Some of these devices store that software ("firmware") in a ROM within the device itself. Over the years, however, manufacturers have found that loading the firmware from the host system is both cheaper and more flexible. As a result, much current hardware is unable to function in any useful way until the host computer has fed it the requisite firmware. This firmware load is handled by the device driver.

    Firmware in many devices can now be updated without the need for additional hardware, often through the use of vendor-provided software.

    Does this help or did I just make things worse?

            I’m using K700i during more than three years. It’s really good and sound quality is really well. I need to buy a new phone. I’m planning to go to K850 or W960. Please help me.

            1. Is K850 camera is good?
            2. Is K850 sounds good?
            3. Is K850 better than W960 among the price

Every Sony I have ever had works great, and have had no reason to do that. Besides, it would be my luck that I would 'brick' the phone if I tried to.

                              i have a problem with k850
                              sometimes when i go to media, the phone just switches off and then switches it self on again. and after that it works just fine!

                              i installed the latest software but it happened again.

                              does anybody have the same problem?

                              please somebody answer!!!

                                the keypad is made this way to totally separate the numbers. it's ergonomics. once you've get used to this kind of keypad, you will definitely love it. SE is so innovative.

                                look at N82's keypad.you'll see the resemblance of which to the k550i! nokia's great in copying.. a second-rate copy cat. lolz.

                                  Cool phone, is the keypad difficult to use for texting?? I'm used to Nokia phones, will i have a hard time using this k850 phone? and one thing that bothers me is the headphone port is it reliable? will this phone last for 2-3years?

The N82 looks solid until you touch it. The K850i looks good and solid and feels solid. And as far as texting, the K850i or SE has far better texting options. Thanx, eddie
