I am wishing to see one more latest shootout up-to-date from GSM Arena on K850 vs N95/N82...since it was almost a year for K850 with so many firmware updates and also nearly 2 years for the N95.....

I hope a shootout now would be interesting!!!

      Dani, 22 Jun 2008@ nick VGA Video is better obviously bigger resolution e... more@Dani

      I hope you have made a bad option for going to N82 leaving k850.

      You tend to say the reason that SE UI is slow...common then what you say about nokia with gigs of data.However decision made is according to your experience all the best for your new mobile(N82).

      Meanwhile I will be here in this K850 forum for defending the invaders......K850 always the best!!!

        check the following
        - video format
        - bit rate
        - frame rate (max 30 fps)
        - video consistency (check if corrupted file or not)

              im just pointing out how much more power my phone has under the hood.

              yeah having vga video on a qvga screen is useless, but its also boring having to convert a vga file to qvga when i can just play the vga file anyway

                how come yours can't play 320x240 resolution with 30fps? mine's playing as it should. ;)

                anyway, who needs to play VGA resolution videos on your phone considering the small screen size? haha.. it's just a phone. let's just be happy that we can adjust the brightness so it won't strain our eyes too much. ;)

                    I prefer CorePlayer. Ive got both DivX and CorePlayer on my N81, but prefer CorePlayer since it plays everything,even YouTube at VGA 25-30fps.

                                Sony Ericsson may be one of the best companies in the market but i have to admit it lacks variety. though there are lots of models presented, they are all the same. not too much of a difference in the appearanc and almost the same UIs. SE needs to have other 5mp phones however, they have to fix all major bugs/issues first. starting of is the slow UI! even searching a contact name is irritably slow compared to previous SE models.

                                  nick, 22 Jun 2008so what if nokia release 5 different handsets. all the a... moreI Agree Nokia is making more Variety in the N-Series Range

                                  N95 - The First Starter of the 5MP range
                                  N95 8GB - 8GB and Enhanced version
                                  N82 - Xenon Flash added and the CameraPhone out of the bunch
                                  N96 - Upgraded N95 8GB with DVB-TV and 16GB Memory

                                  Each have their own audience, thats good i would say

                                  thats what SE is trying to do, but since SE has got abit of a bad Market strategy they cant really do it...

                                  so really its abit limited for SE to make a new range

                                  Phones are still Phones though

                                    so what if nokia release 5 different handsets.

                                    all the applications in each handset are backwards compatible with everyone and there is a great online community for the symbian stuff.

                                    there is no need to go for the most recent handset released. i do not feel inferior to any n82 owners because my handset is equally as capable

                                    tbh i see it as nokia providing mnore of a variety

                                      Se pulled the plug on 2 upcoming handsets p5 and g702.

                                      I wonder what happened there?

                                        I had a recent chance of viewing a forum of easto with k850 pics and i can't believe my eyes with it's image quality so i decided to test so i downloaded and saw the propertiesof the pics and confirmed it as K850 and the firmware is (R1EA031).The link is as follows,
