That's hard to imagine.

Even their w960 that my friend wants is over $600+. The k850i is a bit over $300.

i've had the k850 since nov. last year.
the camera's nice (better than n95) and all, but besides that, it's just a plain SE phone.

comparing with its competitor, the k850's lacking wifi, gps, and screen size.

unless you don't need them features, the k850's a great phone in terms of size, battery life, and it can handle two different kinds of memory...

i'd give it a 8.5/10

-0.5 for the price doesn't balance out with the features bundled
-1.0 for the phone scratches very, very easily... i scratched the keypad by texting and i do not have long nails...
