Re: new contract phone

Some people seem to love this phone or hate it.
Reviews are very mixed.

Would you be able to return this if you dont like it?

On three you get 14 days.

Re: new contract phone

You'd better hope you're very lucky and get a problem-free phone.

The k850i is buggy, faulty and so, so disappointing. The camera is worse than the K800/810i. I 'owned' a K850i for 6 months but only physically had the phone for 3 weeks, between numerous returns etc.

Pretty good tariff deal though, just make sure there's a warranty/return policy in case you get a problematic handset.

Re: new contract phone

If you want SE, maybe better to get the new C902?

Re: new contract phone

thanks for the replies guys. bit worried with regards to bugs but my mate has one and i played with it last night. the buttons annoy me as does the stupid solid joystick.

i called and if i refuse the phone on collection it will go back. i may do this and haggle more for 12 mth deal. they seem very agreeable when put through to retentions.
