Honestly this is a great phone guys! let me introduced u with some trick i used to make using the touch screen easier. 1st u must calibrate ur touch screen but instead using the stylus use ur thumb instead. try it, it will definetly make using this phone easier especially when ur driving.

    Does anyone know when to update the phone? It is such a pain to update because everytime it takes almost a hour. Also, I have a video, converted into a mp4. I try to play on the phone, but it just lags a while and an error pop out, "there is a problem opening the file. Try again?" Does anyone know how to fix it? Also, fring doesnt work on the w960. It used to work on it, but after I updated my phone and install fring again, it just says "installion file is corrupt". I tried many times and it still ended up the same thing. Does anyone know any video coverter that converts to mp4. Because almost every converter i find, ends up a watermark in the center of the video or a shorter version of the video. Does anyone recommand the media manager Pro? It costs $10 though. One last thing, does anyone know how to play video in youtube without opening all ports or anything? Does anyone phone rear cover squeaks? Almost the whole part squeaks, including the camera part and the battery cover.

The phone only stores info of the last update you had. Select 'My music', then 'More', then 'Update music'. Now check your playlist again. Fixed?

              I've had this phone for a week, i'm a big Sony ericsson fan, but i found it cannot play video ringtones, its difficult to navigate, & the stylus is really difficult to get out even using nails, all in all i'd give it 6/10

Either press the icon in the top right, or press "more" and go to task manager. Then press "open" and you can either end each application seperately or press "more" then end all. That should sort you out, but if not, then it's prob'ly a hardware fault, coz the battery should last at least 2 days, even with heavy usage of multimedia and web...

Nah, the W960 doesn't have the same problem with the ID3 tags. As for the firmware, I just used the SEUS. With your W850, I wouldn't use the software for the W830. Rememer the W830's not 3G, but the W850 is. I don't know for sure whether that'd make a difference or not, but I wouldn't trust it...

                                    It's a beautiful phone,not that beautiful like in pictures but...

                                    I had it's 8gb memory almost full but it was ok

                                    It has some problems/drawbacks though:
                                    1.the batery cover squirks...so be carefull when you buy one
                                    2.the camera it's not very good...pictures usualy get a litle bit blury and a litle bit green if there is not enough sunlight...It takes a lot of time to capture pics so you may miss the subject
                                    3.many icons are very small so you need extra precision even when using the stylus...
                                    4.it was very nice if it was stylus free
