I do not understand why you people are complaining about no wifi or no gps.. come on.. if you're in range of wifi, pull out your laptop and use the internet on a 15" monitor with a full qwerty keyboard instead of squinting your eyes on a 2.2" screen, and think about the typing speed on the keypad vs. a keyboard.. same thing for the gps.. if you're using gps.. it should be a feature on your car.. where the screen is a lot bigger too.. would probably cost a lot more on a cell phone than a feature added to your car.. and if you say SE's are bricks.. then nokia phones are cement blocks, because feature packed nokias are usually shown with their size.. I am not for SE, nor am i for nokia.. so stop comparing N95 to K850i and find something better to do than arguing about which one is "better".. A cell phone is a cell phone in which different companies add different features to that cell phone. If you don't like, make your own cell phone.

    The Problem In SE is that they never try to make a combined phone featuring all the great Pros that individual SE phones and usually beats other Nokia phones only in individual facts and pros spread over different SE devices, which is exactly the apposite with Nokia such as the N95 that always tries to present all the great features of there handsets in one unique phone every year such as the well known N95 and before the N73. it seems that SE company is choosing a different market and different competition and there for never presenting a unique phone that includes all the great pros in one phone that are usually the pros that beat the Nokia handsets, and there for never getting to a face to face challenge with Nokia's combined features phone.
    And the question still remains on why the SE doesn’t get in to the face-to-face boxing match with the Nokia.
    The SE company does have the ability and the technology to present a great phone that combines its entire great Pros.

    (1) K850i 5Mb Cyber-shot camera with Xenon falsh. with VGA resolution 30f/s Video. For God's sake!!!!
    (2) P1 and W960 smart-phone Symbian OS 9.1
    (3) W960 great walkman music features and headsets.
    (4) P1 and W960 great 2.6" display with a good nice W960 dimensions and phone size.
    (5) W960 Huge 8G internal memory.
    (6) A good double stereo loud speakers.
    (7) The Great SE battery Life.

    If the SE decides to get this device in to production and face it like a Man with the Nokia, even though with a high price such as the well known N95. I believe it will be the time for Nokia to go sleep and cry out all night long.

    Sincerely: Libyan Afreet, using N73

          N95 is way too expensive
          pus according to cnet, they said that its sluggish
          has no xenon flash

          This badboy K850i will definitely overwhelm N95 with the xenon 5mp cam.
          im definitely getting this ting.=)

          it has so many music options too :D

          to my opinion, the best sony ericsson

          i just hope its not expensive over $400

                PLEASE, STOP COMPARING THIS TO N95! The N95 might have all the specs you could imagine, BUT THE BATTERY WON'T LAST A COMPLETE DAY!

                And please, the pics taken with this beauty will be a thousand times better than N95. Or you don't remember K750 and K800? SE makes the best cameraphone, period.

                This deserves 9/9/9

It will be one of the best phones ever. and the 5 mp campera from sony will rule the other phones (inluding nokia n95) stylish design , and with the green lines looks like Nvidia powered phone. YES THIS PHONE WILL RULE SONY ERICSSON!!!

                      i cannot understand why people can start comparing phones when n95 and k850 seems to have different target audiences. I believe that n95 is for tech geeks, while k850 is for people who wants it for imaging. comparing it makes no sense at all yo.

                      i believe that both n95 and k850 are splendid phones, but for different purposes.

                      i like sony, and i've been a sony user since sony and ericsson merged. i find this phone sort of evolutionary, since sony has since scrapped the joystick for a d-pad. the specs looks fine, and i'm just waiting for reviews to come in before deciding whether to change it.

                        To wiz:

                        You have to be American:)! Hahaha!

                        I can install Linux on my phone! Next random comment please. Okay how bout this... go to the N95 page and stay there.

                        These phones are not in competition... the K850i is a imaging device. N95 is targeted at the GPS market.

                        And besides, the a GPS reciever can be purchased now from SE with BACKWARDS COMPATIBLITY from K800i onwards with Java 2.0.

                        Oh its true.... Nokia's are a little geeky:). I heard a whimper then a cough and then all Nokia lovers left.

                            and you cannot say ohh k850i is a better phone because of its looks, the keypad and the menu to use.....to learn how to use the menu and adapt takes 1 day and you will learn everything about OS.....some ppl prefer n95 some k850i some n93i...

                              i did the comparison because the ppl say 'ohh k850i is better than n95' without reading what both phones can do.......i did the comparison and all of you by now know that n95 is a better phone overall....so this k850i is a good phone but it doesnt beat n95.......

                                i agree with jack.... each phone has its own features.... buy whichever that suits u and whichever has the features that u will use it... no point buying a N95 just to talk on the phone....

                                  its really sad to see all of you comparing and complaining about both the n95 and k850, WHO CARES, buy which ever one suits u and shut up, we all have different lifestyles so which ever phone may be more suitable for each of us

                                      nice phone however i prefer the n95, if you are a true geek ull really begin to appreciate the capabilities of nokia phones. SE should really work on their OS, its simple yes but it doesnt allow you to do much apart from what the phone comes with

                                        both the n95 and k850 are great phones, however the only edge the k850 has over the n95 is in the camera aspect ( it may be better). the n95 with symbian os can support a wide range of software and mods. Dont critize nokia saying that they're complicated to use just because ur ignorant
