What reviewers say

Stuff and OSNews praised the K850i's camera features, solid construction and media capabilities. Both found the camera's protective glass prone to smears and the unusual controls took attention; Stuff adapted to them, while OSNews found the touch-sensitive soft keys unreliable. Both noted that video resolution lagged behind leading rivals.
