    I don't usually write complaining reviews but boy, the Sony Ericsson K850i is a bad phone. I'm on my 4th handset in just over a year. Every time, it started switching itself off at random and eventually, switches off and never comes back on again. Every time, I went onto the Sony Ericsson website for the suggested software upgrade which was supposed to fix the problem but it never did. I'm a total text addict and have found the buttons very hard on the thumbs- I've now even got hard skin on the ...

    Had this Sony Ericsson K850i phone a year and really do not like it. It keeps trying to send texts to the first person in my address book. It occassionally freezes. Don't think the camera isgreat (which was one of the main reasons I got it for) and the MP 3 player ( although sound is good I find really fiddly).ALso fing the key board too small.

    i will never ever recommend the Sony Ericsson K850i to anybody. sure it has some good functions, my camera works well for me. but overall it sucks really bad. my phone keeps freezing for no whatsoever reason and that keybad lights and camera lights remain on which is such a waste of battery! my speaker has also broken down twice in 7 months when i don't even use it often. such a lousy phone. i have lost confidence in SE products. will never recommend it to anybody!

    with the Sony Ericsson K850i the supposedly "touch" buttons get activated when you make a call, and the telephone turns off randomly, the pictures appear really poor.

    I have had this Sony Ericsson K850i phone for 15 months and have loved this phone, the use to navigate to all the features on this phone is very easy a 5 year old could do it! I got this phone for the camera but was pleased with the mp3 player and video functions on the phone. The memory card slot is easy to get to without removing the battery so no need to turn off the phone. It has only just started to loose battery life a bit quicker lately but what do you accept for a phone of this age they ...

    I love this Sony Ericsson K850i phone (well when I first got it i did!) It has a really great quality camera, its easy to use and has everything that you would want on a phone I have had quite a few problems with my K850i, they started with my media files and phone numbers being randomly deleted or disappearing, turns out I had to perform about 3/4 software updates to correct this.The most recent problems I have are that my phone either freezes, vibrates and then turns itself off or resets what ...

    DON'T DO IT!!! Do not buy this phone! I have had all of the problems listed above! I got my first K850i in June 08. The speaker died within 2 weeks and could not be repaired so the phone was replaced. Since then I've had the screen, the software, and the fascia all replaced - basically the entire phone - and it still doesn't work! it crashes and constantly needs rebooting, the screen freezes and it needs rebooting, the 'end call' button freezes and needs rebooting, the sim card won't register - ...

    I have now had the Sony Ericsson K850i for over a year and still very impressed with it. It is slightly heavier and chunkier than most phones out today but with that I have found its less likely to get damaged or for the screen to break when its dropped. Believe me, this phone has had alot drops but the screen has stayed unbroken and unscratched. I did have to replace this phone after two months because I accidentally dropped it in the washing up bowl in my kitchen! So that's not the phones ...

    Well there are alot of good features to this Sony Ericsson K850i phone if you want to use it for music, photos & videos thingy but if u want to use it as a mobile phone itself. I would say get a Nokia 1100 with a touch light. All in all I'd give this phone a 7/10 .. decent rating because I was 1 amongst the first few customers to buy this phone in India and I'm very used to the features I like in the phone starting with semi touch screen. Also because i can handle the weaknesses of the phone wit ...

    I've had this phone for 8 months and I'm already on my third replacement. Both times I had to replace it because it decides not to turn on, except for the keypad and the only way to tunr it off is to take the battery out. Now the keypad is getting temperamental. I would not recommend this phone.

    I loved this phone and although it is my 2nd phone in 8 months, the 1st phone was lost after 2 months? Anyhows while searching the WAP for cinema listings my phone went off (but keypad stayed lit) which it has done on about 5 occasions while either listening to music or watching a video but normally comes back on after about 10 seconds, this time the phone did no come back on (but stayed lit) i had to remove battery which didn't sort out problem, and now when charging the on/off button was lit u ...

    The Sony Ericsson K850i is a really good phone, have been using from past 7 months, not even battery problem, very bright screen, a very perfect camera, very user friendly. Just 1 problem that the backside glossy interface attracts fingerprints, but you can easily wipe it out.. A fabulous multimedia phone packed with some Great and fantastic features.. and worth money.

    My phone had the freezing problem for a while. Occasionally, it would shut itself off. Various times the touchscreen would not work. Now, some of the leads on the keypad stay on even when the phone is shut down and it drains the battery... This is by far the worst phone I've ever owned. I will never buy another Sony Ericsson phone for as long as I live.

    It has a Xenon Flash, 5 Megapixel camera, nice funky glossy finish, nice button put away from each other making it hard to hit wrong buttons, big screen. This camera is a very good camera nice finish, button can be unresponsive but get new firmware update love the phone very good..

    I have had this Sony Ericsson K850i phone for less than 6 months and it has failed twice. 3 customer service have been completely unhelpful and are suggesting that the phone has now been liquid damaged and I will need to pay £55 to have it repaired. When I advised that it had not been wet (the moisture indicator under the battery was unchanged) they suggested that it may be due to condensation from the phone being too close to the bathroom!

    I have had 4 different phones in 9 months. The last one was delivered on friday and packed up on saturday. I would advise anyone against getting this phone. As reported by other people all my phones just freeze and the only way to get them back on is to take the battery out and put it back in. Its an absolute joke. Phone company reckon they havent had any other phones back apart from mine. Somehow I dont believe that,
