Yes I quite agree with you. Why in deed don't SE make a fully featured phone? The answer is that SE are STINGY and are trying to squeeze every penny out of their customers. One of the techniques is by making artificial categories eg K and W series when in fact they are both multimedia devices geared towards entertainment. The features of the K and W series should be on the SAME device. The success of the expensive but fast selling N95 is proof that this is what people want. Music, video, photos, radio, internet: this is all multimedia. Therefore both the K850 and N95 are multimedia devices. The question is which system to use. The Symbian system is better because it allows for important features such as WLAN. This is a terrible absence and has crippled the internet facilities of the phone. SE should seriously consider using a smartphone OS with the 5MP camera to allow for the use of WLAN. Remember this is a high-end phone so this feature is not too much to ask for. SE continue to irritate potential customers by making the device tri-band thereby limiting its use. They pretend that the 16M colour revolution has not taken place and religiously insist on 262144 colours which is 64 times less. The retina of the human eye DOES tell the difference. We are being robbed of a vivid experience. SE continues to religiously insist on substandard camcording. QVGA is four times less resolution than VGA, yet they went and placed it on this high end device as if to tell their customers that they don't deserve VGA. This coming from a company with a wealth of knowledge of camcording. If they feel that camcording is not important then why place it in the device?? IT IS A DISGRACE. To conclude I must state that Nokia's N95 and SE's K850 are comparable in that they are both multimedia devices with phone facilities. Yet N95 is far ahead because they use a more flexible operating system and Nokia are generous with features. My advice to SE: the party is over. They are capable of producing well specced multi-featured phones. They better start doing so.

            Also, hello. The phone is not out. Enough with the "wow dis is da best fone eva!!!1111!!one11oneone!!" posts. Cos u don't even know if the phone is any good. It's laughable at ur posts.

              it's very good about 5MP, that's a good inovation to hit a %MP N95, a new features is doesn't have in other vendors is Auto Cover,Xenon Flash + 3led. I hope K850i can get a best camera's Phone on this year, and the price get under US$500.

                if you are complaining for 3 year old SE's non-smartphone GUI then why wont the same priciple applies to Nokia S40? they even had the 3 year old GUI with rather poorer java technology support.(no menu animations, no media gallery like the ones in K850/W910 and much more) while SE has remained as the no. 1 mobile company that has dramatically improved it's java technology together with it's unbeatable user interface experience.

                  Well my last 4 phones have been sony ericsson's and i cannot praise them enough, I can't wait to get my hands on this, so main burning question is 'when is it out???' i know they are going through millions of checks which can only be a good thing but just an approx date would be good.

                    The comparisons between this and the N95 aren't really that fair as they aren't intended for the same thing. The N95 is aimed at a different part of the market - it has sat-nav, PDA like qualities and so on. It's like a mini computer. The k850 looks more like a phone that happens to have some great gadgets built in to enhance the user experience - the 5MP camera being top amongst them. So saying one is better than the other doesn't make a whole load of sense. It's like saying the N95 is better than a 2310 or 1100 - in a sense, yes it is, but only if you want a smart phone with camera and wifi connectivity etc. The way to look at it is which phone is right for the indvidual's needs, not just which has the fanciest features.

                      The nokias that have the real player have the Symbian operating system.

                        Hey, There is no any doubt about k850i's camera qaulity. I'm sure it's better than N95's camera qaulity.Coz, Sony has specialized in digital cameras but poor Nokia ......still trying to...

                        So, best camera phone evermade...probably Sony Ericsson K850i.....That's for sure....!!!

                            Hi, I have one question.

                            I have the Sony Ericsson W810i and it doesn't play ( REALPLAYER ). Nokia cell phones play ( REALPLAYER ) I don't know know why Sony Ericsson cell phones don't.

                            Will this cell phone be able to play ( REALPLAYER ) ?

                            Thank you.

                                to all the people arguing whos the best phone.

                                pls. read all their specifications

                                k850i is not yet released in the market.what you have see and read in some of the reviews of diffrerent phone testers is not the final version which to come out during the release.Maybe their working on the improvement of the phone.

                                n95 is on their final version.
                                SO think twice before you post your comments.

                                  why ppl arguing abt k850 n N95.. this ph wins in camera just like N80 or N93i can't simply beat K800/810. but Nokia Nseries got more features .. and diff ppl will have diff taste to choose . thats all.
