Need a 5mp cam phone. Should I risk the K850 or wait for the C902? |

Id like a SE 5mp cam phone but am not sure what to do. Before anyone says no I dont want to wait for the G900. Should I wait for the C902 or risk the K850? I really like the K850 but I am yet to meet someone who has not had any problems with it. Dust inside the lens cover, wobbly screen and BROD. I think fw 037 seems to have sorted a lot right?
The c902 looks nice and slim but they need to fix the pic quality. Im sure they will but Id prefer the K850 as it has a xenon flash.
What should I do? Will I regret choosing the K850? Or should I just wait until the C902 is out and see how that fairs?

buy K850. you will not regret yourself. (and if you do that, just send it back). it also only cost 300 euro right now, both green & blue.
have seen quite many pics from C902, and im not impressed. but but, i can be very wrong, maybe they are shoot with a crappy beta firmware

plankgatan did you have to return it?
If I were to get one what are the main things I need to look for where people have had problems so I can find them by looking for them rather than just stumbling over them whilst using the phone generally?

no. i sold my first one, it worked fine, i just got a contingency to buy a brand new K850 quite cheap . so i bought a new one and sold my first one.
(the first one i had was the very first K850 sold in Sweden, i got it 2 days before the big release ....(thats little funny i think)

I heard many people suffered from dust getting in the lens cover as well as even a loose screen. Was that a early manufactuering problem that is sorted in all new models now?

Man you didnt answer my question lol
Yeah I have a P1. I sold my 1st one but got it again after. Strange as I done the same thing with my old K800.

yes i think the dust was a early issue. BUT (believe or not), i have NEVER had one single reboot, BROD or dust issue with my two K850 (my first one had maybe 2-4 dust dots behind the lens glass, but it was nothing strange).
about dust behind the screen, i think is a very rare issue, not heard many people with that problem.
about dust behind the lens glass, (the dust came in via the speaker hole), i think fixed that later.

So basically that doesnt happen on new K850s any more? So its safe to buy it in that regard?

hey i have a k850i.....that BRODed....but to be honest I still recommend it...some of the phones i guess are buggy...but when they work...they are amazin!! love the UI....and if I am not wrong it is the only European phone available with m2 memory stick and micro sd both!!! compared to c902 it has a bigger screen and a xenon flash!! and i feel its cam module is still the best one out at the moment...i think its better than c902 |

Yeah but I dont want to buy one and then go through weeks of getting it sorted and re sorted. The only thing what worris me is how dust seems to be able to reach inside the lens cover. I need to find out if that was just a manufacturing fault in early models but no one seems to know for sure.

I would wait for C902 to come. When it comes to mobiles, the more you wait, the better you'll get.

Good point yes that is my rationale behind maybe waiting for the C902. Also the Play.com price is quite reasonable: £299

Thats good. And even if you're not satisfied with C902, you probably will be able to get K850 much cheaper by then.
