best:
a) performance:p990
b) price/performance:m600
worst:
k800- it actually makes photos worse than k750i. 50% of my pictures were blurry, imo

also, i think it's necessary to mention the best/worst phone in "copy of k750i" section
best:
w810 - a walkman paint on the case and no joystick
worst:
w700 - a w800 with a 256mb card instead of 512mb

Best: K800i - My (Bluetooth) MP3 player, camera and... oh yeah a phone!
Worst: Z710i - Okay, who would make a phone with a 2mp camera, A2DP BT audio and then forget a camera flash?!

BTW, I think you phone geeks are being a bit hard on the W300 / Z530 phones. They're aimed at a level of the market you folks don't understand - not everyone wants multi-megapixel cameras / huge 256k colour screens on a phone. I've got a Z530i - and from a full charge its standby life is 12 days!

@Happycheesecake

I agree somewhat. The W300 is good for the price but the keypad is very 'quirky' shall we say.

my vote is most definitly the M600, probably the best and most used SE I have ever had

and worst... P990... couldn't wait to get rid of that almost from the day I bought it!

@goldenface
i hope you counted my best vote the m600, not the p990, because the price/performance ratio is more important than the performance(aka specifications) itself.

Worst: P990i! By far the worst user expirience ever had with a SE. I felt like i was browsing through a puked out omelette. Nothing made sense..it was buggy and overpriced.

Best: K800i!!!!! After i sold my p990i(5 days after buying it) got me a k800i, takes very nice pics and does a good job as an mp3 player. Ok so it didnt have the smartphone features but it does the rest well. For smart apps i bought me an Ipaq!

Looks like it's three way battle,ie, p990i, w810i and k800i.

How many of you that are voting down the P990 have actually tried it? I've noticed people saying 'it sucks' after only reading others' opinions... Inother contexts than this forum (at least), the situation seems to be like those who have it loves it, while those who've never tried it hates it...
I know some of you has owned a P990, I'm just curious.
