Vote and post ur opinions for your favorite 5 mega-pixel camera-phone, :

C901 -

PROS: Big baddy of camera phones, slim design similiar to C902 but it has a xenon flash along with autofocus, smile detection and the list goes on........ No annoying touch buttons like its relatives and also has a crystal hard screen covering which prevents any scratching of the screen, if i saw this phone in town i would kiss it on the screen, turn it on vibrate, shuv it down my pants and run away, im sure ud do the same.

CONS: Not out in uk yet though will be in a month or two. No drivers avaliable for this phone so you cant upgrade the camera, (dunno why you wud) plus SE are selling the c901 and the c901 "greenheart" i mean who cares about being enviro friendly? It comes in the bad colour too , the silver version. Stupid SE shud just release 1 version of 1 phone

Elm -

PROS: Cheap, similar to C901, good camera in daylight

CONS: No xenon flash,

K850i -

PROS: Good looking phone (when it hasnt been touched) Very good camera, also with plenty of camera drivers on the web offering brilliant picture quality. Perhaps with the latest drivers the k850i could beat all the competetion? It depends on whether you can sacrfice annoying ergonomics for the exceptional camera. BIG screen which provides good display along with camera dedicated buttons on the side of the phone.

CONS: Annoying slow responce touch buttons, Bad design of D-pad in the middle of keypad requiring tiny fingers to text or enter a number, its a fingerprint magnet - greasy within 2 minutes of use , annoying position of flash so you have to precariously hold it by the edges when flash is in use (less control of phone) BATTERY LIFE! Because of that huge screen the phone gulps up all the battery's life within less than 2 days. Doesn't have smile detection feature on phone.

C902 -

PROS: Slim, stylish design whilst still feeling well built and compact. Smaller scren increses the battery life, dedicated camera touch buttons that are easy to use and good keypad design. Also has a super-cool slide cover for the camera!

CONS: Annoying small screen and with a lack of xenon flash! Oh the Injustice!!

N95 -

PROS: comes with all the camera features on offer on the other phones, inlcuding xenon flash and autofocus.

CONS: Well, its a nokia...

C901

PROS:
+ You can turn off shutter sound from menu!
+ BestPic can save all pictures in one touch and in addition it saves first captured automatically

CONS: IMO, flash based menu is a bit slowly (navigating thru items in list menu
Xenon flash eating whole picture in macro mode

I own the K850, C901 & C902 (also have the C905 but thats an 8mp cam) and have used them constantly until the next was released (currently the C901) and my choice is the:-


C901


Not just the amount of camera features, excellent battery life, slim design, xenon flash etc
Its the only phone I've used lately that actually has an excellent keypad for navigating, typing etc. Last one that even came close to a decent useable keypad for me was the K800.
I tried sniffing coke once but didnt like it. The bubbles kept going up my nose

K850i doesnt really take great pics compared to most of the big boys anymore
get more disappointed with its performance as a cam everytime i look at the competition
strangely i love the touch buttons, its a great phone, just a pants camera lol

IMO, sony ericsson are going crazy. before the release of the k850i every1 was expecting it to be the best camera-phone ever... but as it turned out in all of the reviews the problems users were facing was the camera - epic fail there. Now this phone has been released sony ericsson states that its only going to be avaliable in "certain markets" then it turns out that this phone is much better than any of its close relatives receiving excellent reviews everywhere...it seems for SE theres more hype for the shit (more expensive) phones and less for the (cheapish) amazing ones, suprise suprise they just want ur money!

K850i should have been a great phone, was their flagship, 1st 5mp cam but it had lots of problems, like most ive had to send mine back for repair for BROD, even now i never know if today will be the day it stops working.
We paid a lot of money and where dumped by SE when it flopped.
Have looked at new models but they too have their fair share of problems.
w995 not so great in the cam department.
Aino looks good but no zennon so a no no, Satio is the one to watch but that not getting good reviews either.
Cant stand the OS of Nokia after using SE, just want a reliable phone with good cam
Why do SE phones have the horrible white washed out images? is it the sensor, horrible, like a haze on the pics
have tried the modded cams and still no real good pics
cant comment on the c901,2 3 as never had them to compare
