you are right, n95 totally over estimate since it release. Now the only hope is using the current k850 price, and spend a little more to get n95 8gb

You are wrong, N95 will be much more expensive when it will appear. And even if their prices are comparable, SE's handsets drop the price instantly, in a couple of months K850 will cost a very logical price, while N95 8GB will still cost more than a laptop...
Besides there are some other factors,
small size, batteries,material quality, sound quality etc etc

I need a good camera phone and good video recording and also GPS and i like big screen, for the same price i choose N95 8GB.
I check 4 review between K850 and N95 only about the pictures and N95 is a bit better or even compare to K850, so why spend the same price 600USD on a small screen, QVGA video recording, no wifi, no GPS...

Thanks. I hope it'll not be the price here. N95 costs about 600USD here in the Philippines. And is going down pretty fast. I expect this phone to be lower in price. Less than 550USD is a good starting price. Im getting tired of waiting, its released but I still cant see even its shadow on se shops here.

@Rxc3
sure, SGD$1 = USD$0.6834
which is K850 in USD$695
but actually is not the matter of currency. sometimes it goes with the issue of tax...different country with different import tax

4Bbn-
It's not an online link. There are retailers that actually order from SE-UK, then send it over here. All you have to pay is the exchanged price, and $50 for shipping/handling.
299 british pounds was 610 CAD, but now it's 595CAD. Wait for your retailer to carry it. If it's over 650-700, not worth it.
Also, N95 is backed up by an LED flash? Well K850 is backed up by both 3 LED and the Xenon. If you can use them both at the same time, someone drop a line and tell us!

Guys. Read carefully so you do not get a culture shock like I did when I got my K850. In relation to the camera, I have been trying every setting and every possible way to get a good pic, but I kept getting very dark pics or sometimes fuzzy and unclear pics. I was so frustrated that I wanted to sell the phone off. Then I went through the catalogue. There is a simple trick to getting THE BEST PICS EVER! None of your fingers should be in front of the camera side AT ALL. Even if a part of your finger is falling in front of the camera face side, even if it is away from the lens or sensor, your pics come out rotten. Keep your fingers on the snap button above the phone and anywhere else you want, and the result is like magic!
This phone is slow to getting used to, frankly. The soft keys are touch keys on the screen itself, while the keypad has the 2 and 5 buttons inside it. You will press them by mistake instead of touching the screen for any confirmation of action. SOOO confusing for the first while. Also, the touchscreen can be TOO SENSITIVE or NOT SENSITIVE ENOUGH. You will struggle before you perfect it, and I am sure you will get frustrated.
The buttons, although square, press firmly and well. However, texting is not as fast since you cannot see and associate the alphabet easily to the small buttons.
The Call ACcept/Reject and Cancel keys are also very small, so if you have big fingers, you may press more than one at a time or intuitively press the wrong button.
I honestly don't know whether I LOVE THIS PHONE OR NOT. I know it is a technological marvel, but it is way different from the usual stuff.
Whoever has had similar adjustment problems, I would love to share your views.
Thanks.

To cell phone lover
this is all about opinions and to be honest i love my n73 and music playback is very good,
But having listened to the k850 i think the sound quality is a little better, give me a little more time and i'll give you a better comparison of the two.
however my son has a k800 and my wife the w610 but i feel there is a major improvement with the sound quality in the k850.

The N95 camera is supported with a LED flashlight while the K850i has a xenon one like in K790i/K800i. However it doesn’t make a big difference in image quality, so its practical use should not be overestimated.
