Anyone got any views on this?

Got one coming tomorrow as my next phone. Was intending to get the Nokia N80 but apparently it's been discontinued due to 'software problems'.

Been very happy with my K750i, so hopefully this'll be as good!

this is an excellent phone. more music oriented rather than camera phone. still a good camera but not quite as good as k750i camera features.

Love it

Had it just over a week on T-mobile and I think its the best phone ever! lol Easy to use, nice to hold, tonnes of great features - such as Track ID (lets you record a piece of a song and then submit across the internet to get the tracks name)!

It came today and it is very nice indeed.

I miss some of the themes and games i had on my K750i though, shame the themes are the wrong size and the games can't be sent!

I do however really like Face Warp, oh the fun!

How much does TrackID cost to use?

according to my w850 it is a free service, subject to data transmission charges. you pay to transmit the part of the track you want recognised. not going to be a lot i would have thought, not really going to be something you will use everyday i would have thought.

Oh yeah, once i went onto it, it told me it's free!

Is it as accurate as Shazam? If so that's gonna be great for me!

have a look here for the providers details, http://www.gracenote.com/corporate/p...ate=2006052300
looks like it would be pretty accurate to me.

one of the big names behind it.

Is this phone unlockable?

I got one on the 3 network, but can't find how to unlock it.

I've read great reviews and would like to start using it!

I would assume so, every other SE phone i've seen is.

Go to the local market trader, he'll sort it

Pick up a copy of SE Themes Creator. It runs on a Mac and you will be able to import and modify your old K750i themes for use on the new W850i.

Are you sure that they can unlock a 3 network w850?

Anyone find an unlocker yet?

Had a Google around and tried the usual suspects but none seem to offer unlocking yet.

I have a T-Mobile branded. Very nice but I think my daughter will appreciate it more than me for her Xmas.
