"A sad apology for a product"

What I like:

The idea to start with looked good, but was a lotal let down

What I don't like:

Too bulky and missing key things

Review:

This phone looked like a probber mans phone, and for a time it was.
I owned one for nearly a year, but after 6 months the middle touch sencative button kept pressing its self like it was possessed.
After a couple of months of the phone either running very slow, or it resetting for no reason, i got the button ghost back again.The biggest problem is this touch button was the main button for the entire workings for the phone.
At the same time, the keypad, had started to come unglued, i mean, in this day and age, for a company like sony to have a keypay double sided sticky taping its keypad down it beyond a joke. Even blue peter has better quality than this.

swell as the obvious 4th class build quality, there is no wifi access, that the more usefull n95 has, and thats a really bad phone.

Basically, the ad's showed a phone that lit up either blue or green, but its just metalic paint. This should have been my first clue to the phone, CHEAP.

I returned it to O2, where they said that they wont be getting any more of these is, as they know how rubbish it was.
I got it swapped for a C902, which is the same spec, but is slimmer, and possibly a bit better, but ive only had it a month and all has been well so far.

Summery, if someone sives you a K850I, say thank you, and throw it in the bin behind there back. Rubbish phone, not worth the postage.
