Was going to wait for the K850 to come out & upgrade to that
But, it's going to be a touch screen  Which is annoying as fuck (anyone who's had a E900 or LG Chocolate will tell you how bad they are!)
Plus it's a bit bigger than I'd imagined
And the D-pad is a bit weird too, doesn't have a middle button
I know some people swear by N95's, but also a lot of people swear at them. Are they really as bad as some people make out? Battery wise etc
N95 came put on top in the review - http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_k850_vs_nokia_n95-review-162.php

I have an N95 and I have to say I really hate it, the gps application is shit, the battery lasts about a day the symbian software is very slow,
On the plus side they are quite durable i droped mine from halfway up the grandstand at pvs on to the tarmac and it survived.

I was waiting for the k850i aswell but it wont be out for another while to existing customers, they release them to new customers first.
I upgraded to the samsung g600, got it today, looks really good, 5mp camera, 1gb memory etc

Pretty much for waht you said lol, too big and heavy (considerign what its replacing), lack of key features, silly touch screen and tricky to navigate missing the middle joystick thingy

For instance
On the G600 you have a choice of 4 message alerts. You can't set your own
WTF it's their top of the range phone!

Hmm, might wait (even longer) and have a play with the k850i in a shop before I go ahead and order it online. Not too keen on touchscreens, I hate getting fingerprints all over them!
Don't like the Nokia at all though and not tried the Samsung yet either.

Ive got a N95 and i love it!
Yeh the battery life isnt the best, and lasts me 2 days, and thats using the camera etc
But just put it on charge over night, not hard is it??
Camera is good, everything is good on it to be honest!

If youre getting it on contract. Just get the 1 you like the least. Then just phone them up and tell them youre not happy, and you want to change to the other, and they will do it for you
