Hello all,
I'm a little bit confused about my choise. I need new non-touchscreen phone with some very high perfomance camera in it. I have Galaxy S yet but need non-touch one too. I know there are a lot of different manufactors in the market that are producing high quality phones for example Nokia N8 or Iphone 4, but all these are touchscreens that I already have. Can someone suggest me something good with buttons?
P.S. I have looked for reviews and for example Sony Ericsson C905a looks pretty good, but I can't find it in Europe and almost all of these are on ATandT in USA.
P.P.S. Possibly not "slider".
THANK YOU! |

For a good cam, you'll need an high-end phone and nowadays all of those have touchscreens, so for buttons you'll have to look at "older" phones, the best of which are Sony Ericsson C905i and Nokia N86 8MP, both with 8mp cam and Xenon flash. But both are end-of-life and not available in european shops anymore, maybe on eBay ?
You might be able to find a Sony Ericsson Aino (touchscreen and buttons), almost gone, but some shops still have them. It has a very good camera, but no Xenon flash.
All three phones are sliders, though.

Ou, it looks Nokia N86 has pretty good camera, not sure about price. Here it is 399€, that is pretty big amount of money for not so new model. So I think C901 is winning at the moment.
BTW the amount of MP doesnt matter it could be 5MP, but image quality should be high.

Hehe I am "he"  and I am from Europe, Finland (iceman  ).
Ok, it looks that searching continues and becoming harder and harder. After a break I have opened my laptop again... and found some other great choises. What I've learned today is that Samsung Innov8 is the best camera phone with 8Mp and price around 280€, that is pretty high for 2009 model. Also there is Motorola ZN5 with 5MP and for 140€, and SonyEricsson k850i for about 100€, that are pretty good too, but Motorolas Kodak technology is winning here. Am I right? SonyEricsson C905 would be 184€. So I'm pretty stuck again . Why there can't be like best camera phone, best internet phone, best gps navigation phone and etc.

Sorry intogtar. I didn't expect Finland after reading the first post.
I'm not impressed by Motorola photo's. I'd say Nokia or SE and leave the rest out.

If for photo purposes only and needs a xenon flash I'd say c901 and c905, those are the best non touchscreen cameraphones in my opinion. If you need better video recording but has no xenon flash Aino would be great, other non touchscreen choices are c902 and nokia 6700 slide, Those are the only ones that I remember being non touchscreens
