I'm pretty keen on SE's since having my T610 and before that a really cool Sony J5 :D now have a K750/W800 firmware and am looking to upgrade.

I like the look of the K810 but seems odd to be wanting one when the newer K850 is out, but the K850 just doesn't wow me as much, Can't quite place what it is about the 810 I prefer though.

So Does anyone know what SE phones are due for release? Whats worth hanging out for? I had a play with a W890i in the shop the other day, but not sure I could go for a really slim phone like that, felt far to much like some toy!

I love the torch function on my K750 too, do the newer ones all miss that feature because of the xenon flash?

Cheers all :D
 
I've heard the k850i is more of a downgrade compared to the k800i/k810i. They're riddled with reliability issues.

Only what I've heard though. But based on it, I'd go for the K810i.
 
I have the K850i and love it. I did have the k800 before. It does have a torch as well as a proper flash. I dont have any issues with reliability as such and the newer firmware has fixed initial speed issues. I would pair it with the HPM-82 headphones as you do not get the "Play" button on the phone.
 
I should probably have added that I have a K810i and I love it to bits. Absolutely fantastic phone.

Camera is brilliant, hardly a mark on it even after several drops and being crushed at gigs, and very fast.

I have got it installed yes, but I don't use it very often.

I generally find that if somewhere is dark enough to warrant me needing a torch, just the light of the screen itself is enough.

There is also an app which just turns the screen completely white - this also works as a good "torch".
