Im from Malaysia too. I called SE few days ago and they said it will be only available in Mid of October. I was wondering how much is the price for the the W850 in Malaysia. Thanks.

spring loaded means you dont have to push the slide all the way open (as most of the nokia slide phones) as the spring completes it for you .
The phone will spring open and closed after only pushing the slide say halfway. Great example of this is the samsung D600.

I am currently stuck on which phone to get, a w850 or k800? Due to the photo quality in comparison to K800? Can anyone provide some sample pictures?

Tiff,
No problem at all. I've gone from a K750i to now having this phone. The video mode was much better previously, with the shortcut as 'Up' on the joystick. I've put this shortcut on this W850i the same, it makes life easier watching videos I think.
Another issue while Im here is the 'Face Warp' application. This is fine taking a picture, but loading a picture taken earlier is a nightmare. Its like trying to scoure through loads of blank files which takes forever. Anyone else having the same problem ?

Rye,
Thanks for the tip with the video player. It does feel stupid that the video player started via file manager has less functionality than through Entertainment.
With the editing me the bookmark it only fails if i keep the same spelling in the title and change capitalization. Like ''gmail'' to ''Gmail'', and yes i sent the problem details to SE.

got my 850 this morning..a little chunkier than expected but the menu keys are driving me mad they are hard to press. so far i dont like the menu system as with samsungs they have earier shortcuts rather than scrolling through the menus. personally im not 100% on ths fone but ive got 2 weeks 2 play with it n i might change it

Tiff,
I have had my phone 3 days now, and have managed to use the Video OK. If you go into 'Entertainment', then use Video player that way, you can FFW and REW by pressing the left/right buttons. This works better in Portrait mode.
Also, I have tried to edit one of my saved bookmarks and this works for me. Try letting SE know, they should be able to help.
As for call not disconnecting when slider closes, thats a damper on the phone in general. This is basic SE, why not use this feature ?

'Tiff',
Send your bug discoveries to SE, then hopefully they'll look into it and release a firmware update. I am also very annoyed that closing the slider does not end calls!
