k850i is good, i've had mine about 7-8 months now, button are a pain some times but other than that was ok.
had to send the 1st few ones back though as they kept turning themselves off everytime you put them down which was annoying. but this one has been fine since then

Thanks chaps. Isn't it a bit chunky monkey though ? and buttons felt small and wank. Obviously the 5meg camera is uberbling.....
BUT love the idea of the slimmer and much lighter W910i... sweeet slide on it to and looks better.
erring towards that I think....
anyone had one?

I've got a k850i, really like it after I got used to the tiny buttons and the touch screen buttons but I try to access the games Folder and it keeps coming up with 'Operation failed', proper annoying. Anyone know a fix?
Brilliant camera though.

I'm hoping to get the w910i when my contracts up for renewal next month - but orange have sold out already 
may wait till the Nokia 6500 slide is released by them instead.

The P1i is miles ahead of most phone, touch screen, qwerty keyboard, wifi etc, but only the size of a normal phone
I can even telnet in to my Linux server at home with it, and reboot it

Have just ordered a K850i for one of our guys here, so will see what that is like tomorrow, before I decide which phone to upgrade my K750i for, as I had also narrowed the choice down to the same two as Lee (I always have Sony Ericssons), and Lee is raving (mad) about his W910i .
Anyone want to buy my K750i?

stlish small phone = w910i
big phone, big spec = k850i.
it's like asking if you'd rather have a corsa LET or a nova XE with 50 shot of NOS.

Ive got the O2 XDA Exec, cant fault it really, old PDA now but has my sat nav etc and I can do EVERYTHING I do on my laptop on it..
Was thinking about a new handset (contract up for renewal after crimbo), but I cant find anything to replace it with..
Love the screen, great for browsing, 400mhz processor, and the keyboard...
So if a new handheld came out with a qwerty keyboard, 320x480 or better screen and wifi/bt/etc id deffo be interested

Its not small and light! its a chunky fat fooker!!! and almost double the weight of the W910i! and its got NASTY little buttons.
I went into the shop to buy the k850i.... and walked out with the W910i.
its really slim, really light, got a lovely slide and does everthing you want. and lets face it camera phones are pretty pony really. A 2megpixel camera that the W910i has will surfice for emergencies. If you wanna take good pics, use a proper camera I think.
90% of the time you use the phone as a phone.... and carrying that podgy little fat fooker around is pointless.
Slim, sexy, and light! W910i. Its sweeeet
It just feels soo right in your hands. Big buttons and hanging up on people by closing the slide makes you feel really hard and important

Ive got the W850i at the mo and love it. Was going to get the W910i but the only thing putting me off is it doesnt have a light, which i find comes in well handy. I Suppose cause its so much thinner the couldnt fit one on .
Will probably still get one though as they do look the dogs

I've just realised, I've got a W850i and that my K750i was changed ages ago (due to the crap joystick) , so if anyone wants to buy this, feel free to make me an offer . Still got all the box and everything .
The K850i turned up this morning and I have to agree with Lee, only it's Mother could love it, as like Lee, it's horrible, fat and ugly .

I've had my w910i about 10 days now and I'm pretty impressed with it. I decided against the K850i because its very chunky and didn't like the slection controls (the blue bits).
Pros for the W910i
Good looks
Superb screen
Ace new media functionality
Motion sensors which automatically rotate images from portrait to landscape when you move the phone
Music recognition – Record some music, send it off via the application and it comes back with the artist, album and single info + a link where to buy it from. Very sweet!
Music quality through headphones is superb – best I’ve had from any phone.
Software is very useful to.
Cons.
Keypad takes some getting used to
2mb camera – not auto focus (I don’t use my phone much as a camera though).
Music speaker quality is shockingly poor.
All in all a very good phone, even better when it cost be £0!
Paul - got your new laptop yet? Mine arrived yesturday
