I'm in the exact same situation, i've had a K700, K750 and K800... the K850 just looks too similar with no vast improvement. I've played with the Viewty and found it too lightweight, the touch entry annoying and it was a bit huge.

Come on Sony E, be innovative again! Throw some decent video recording in a phone for once

i agree with all of that. i have had the k700, k750, k800i and a k810i and the k850 is pretty much the same as the k800/810.

the only decent phone that SE have produced lately is the w960i (IMO).

Yes the SE w960i looks very good although its only 3.2mp. It should be out in the new year.

To all K800i owners struggling to think of what to upgrade to.

I had a K750i, then the K800i and 3 months ago opted for the K810i.

I went against all the reviews saying not to bother but tbh I love the K810i, it feels alot less "brick like" than the K800i and for some reason I prefer the round stainless steel keyboard buttons. Someone at work showed me his K850i and tbh I still prefer the K810i.

I have narrowed my choice down to these 2 phones. I have a k800i at the moment and wanted the 850i but the reviews were terrible, so it is a Viewty for me.

Theyve taken a step backword i think with the k850i
since i got it i cant give up my k800i
+buttons are horrible
+got used to the touch buttons but before i got the replacement it wouldnt always recognised my touches
+camera is FANTASTIC - in the right lighting, k800i was more adaptable (at least it let me take pics in the dark)
+they got rid of my beloved shortcuts key
apparently there is a big update like this week so ill go to that and see what happens
cant wait for w960i
havent really used the viewty so dont know but the pure touchpad would drive me mad

I tried a viewty quickly in a shop and feel I could get used to that eventually, but I worry about the camera quality
