the sound is quite lous..the new firmware has highly improved the loudness and also the sound clarity through headphons..if not better its at par with the walkman series phones..

i get around 3-4 days on a single charge with normal usage

i told u..the sound has been increased a lot..and according to gsmarena...

k850 comes 2nd after w910 in loudness and speaker clarity surpasing the tough likes of nokia and samsung..

u can update thru seus..u will get a SE pc suite where u will get an update manager..u can update thru that..or u can download the update suite from the SE website...

I'll pick P1i over the K850. It is a Symbian UIQ smartphone, has a qwerty keypad, touch screen, wi-fi, bigger display, better email and web browsing and is better at playing back videos as it supports VGA videos at 30 fps and you can expand its format support with additional software. The camera is good and the sound quality is great as well. Overall its a much better buy compared to K850i. (K850i only has higher resolution camera and motion sensor as the advantages over P1i.)

p1i has good overall package and more features then k850 but k850 has slightly better sound and very good camera and also is smaller in size then p1i
anyway +1 for p1i if camera is not that important.

i think each sony ericsson mobile phone has good sound quality. whatever se phones i have used they all have good sound quality specially with handfree whether it is walkman or k-series phone
k850i also has good music quality and it 5 mega pixel cam is really superb
it has many other features too but i think it is a bit bulky
