Customer Reviews

Listen to someone who's had this phone for 10 months...
I despise this phone. I'd give it less than a star if I could. It's the bane of my life. I am currently looking on Amazon to buy another phone. I have 8 months of my contract left, and I can't stand it.

After having it 6 weeks or so, I was texting and it was as if the sim card had re-set itself. When I tried to get into my inbox it said 'operation failed' which means I have to re-set the master settings so I lose all my texts, etc. This happens at least twice a week.

Around 6 months ago, there I was texting again and the back touch button activated. Thinking I must have touched it by accident, I thought nothing of it but then realised everytime I pressed the '5' key it activates the back touch pad so frequently throughout a text I get the 'do you want to save this text message'. The same also applies for when I press the down key... It also does it for the '4' '6' and 'left' button but it's ad hoc for these three.

When I'm on the phone it has a habit of freezing and cutting the call off. My friends keep thinking I've hung up on them. There is also no way to deactivate the touch pad when you're on the phone so I have to hold the phone at an angle or I find myself sending blank texts to people.

As time goes on the three touch keys become less reactive. I can't really use the 'back' one now unless I dig my finger in, but hey, I always have the 5 key...

It turns itself off. If it wasn't for the fact the alarm still goes off when the phone is off, many a time would I have been late for work.

The battery life is rubbish [which tbf can be said for all SE's].

The 5mp is overrated. If you put your finger anywhere on the back of the phone when using the flash your picture comes out strange. Really dark and it alters the colours.

I also don't know how a man or anyone with large hands would be able to text. The buttons are really small and really hard. When I first got it it took my fingers and thumbs about a month to get used to it cos they were really sore [I am an avid texter].

All these other positive reviews, don't listen to them. They've had this phone a mere weeks before it gets rubbish... Take it from someone who's suffered with it for 10 months and don't buy it. Everyone I know who has this phone despises it.

SE K850I Rubbish!!
Got this with an orange contract at the carphone warehouse in may, after two weeks it started freezing. I got a replacement but after about two weeks the same thing started to happen. I got another replacement and lo and behold it started to freeze!! After approaching cpw through their helpline I am awaiting delivery of an LG Viewty - it couldn't be any worse than the k850i!
Buy this phone at your peril!!

K 850i
The camera is terrible - it over sharpens the pictures so they have jagged edges!
