Just wondered if anyone else has this phone and if they have had any problems with it? Im having to send my back for the second time now as it keeps freezin and switchin off and I have to take the battery out to get it working again. I knew I should not of gone with Sony Ericsson had problems when I had a K800i went through 5 of them in 6 months before they would send me a different phone.
Lol i know what you mean my k850 is also unreliable and i have now had four,granted the first lost a fight with a land rover and a gravel drive though

I've got a K800i now, and Ive had it 12months without any issues at all. It's been a great phone, as was my old K850i. I must of been one of the lucky ones, although my nipples have been dodgey in the past..........hasnt everyones though :D
A lot of the newer Sony phones are problematic - I'm still using a k600i which is rock solid, even though it's well over two years old (maybe three now?).

I have been searching mobile phone forums this morning on this exact same subject! I have a K850i as I wanted a good camera. Mine is freezing more and more often - sometimes you can't answer an incoming call it's that bad. I'm going back to Nokia - easy to use and reliable. I fancied a SE C902 but this one has put me off. Good camera or not - it would be nice to either answer or end a call without the phone jamming!
Ive had a Sony Erricson W850i for 3 years now and its a brilliant little thing, ive just recently upgraded to an LG Viewty, i wish i hadnt its crap compared to the W850i, i think i'll be sellin it on and keepiny the Sony. I too must be one of the lucky ones then when it comes to the Erricsons, i have never had any sort of problem at all.
My other half has a W890 & hasnt had any issues so far. I believe the W890 shares the same firmware as the 800 & 850 & SE are working on updates to resolve any issues. If you are able to wangle a different phone,i would highly recommend the W960i 8gb jobbie as its an awesome phone ;) Check here for SE info etc http://www.esato.com/
Well O2 have just had an ear full from me lol they sent me an email to say now they cant send me a replacement cus they have none in stock so they want to repair mine instead. Tried to get them to change the handset totally but they wont till I have sent 3 back so I guess once this one arrives back and doesnt work again cus I have no faith in them fixing it I will be sending it back once again:mad::mad::mad:
my w880i has a habbit of switching itself off after a call or text but other than that its fine....
my mrs had a 960i the 8 gb one and sold it within a month it was so much hassle to keep it going , she now has the new c902 which is also giving loads of problems and is away being looked at now . i find my old nokia 6310i the most reliable phone ever its about 5 years old and has never let me down no camera no mp3 just a phone . cheers all wellsy..
If you go to the sony ericsson website, there's a downloadable softwear updater, very easy to use & will "reflash" the phone, SAVE EVERYTHING!! diary, phonebook, themes, games, all the stuff on the PHONES MEMORY (memory cards need not apply! tho save all your stuff to it as it's quicker!) If the phone is older than say... 5 months, there's usually an updated version of its own softwear. Re-flash, re-load, re-use!
I am Googling 'K850 firmware update'. See what happens.
