The camera interface is the crappy portrait version because the phone doesn't have a camera key on its side. But what I don't understand is why they don't just use the landscape Cyber-shot style interface and then use the centre of the D-pad as the shutter button. Or they could just stick a camera button on the side...

Well, it would be kinda awkward holding the clamshell horizontally while taking pictures, wouldn't it?

My wife has had one of these for a week now and she loves it. We tried the FM transmitter for the first time today (in the car) and it works great.
The only disappointment is the games - they are all demo versions only, not full games. Does anyone know how much the games cost to purchase the full version?

check out www.gameloft.com they got lots of games. The prices of games depend upon their arrival...new games costmore while old ones less.

btw, with a lil search, everythings free

i just bought this phone recently as it just came out in the UK, and 02 are have great deals on with this phone. After buying it, the first regret would be the camera, which is really ridiculous!!! having a 3.2 mp with no focus, flash or no special camera features, does let me down, but the walkman feature is really good!!! good sound and good headphones.

Yes what is that button on the left side of the phone, i checked if it is the charging led, or the reception led, or the bluetooth/connectivity led, but im still not able to find out what it is, its definately a LED but what for?

Well, for all those who crying " plastic feel,cheap plastic etc". Guys don't forget that the built in FM transmitter would became unusable with alu casing. That's why plast materials are used.

Huh? Go back to school and sit science again. Metal would make no difference at all.

I'm just confused by the threads title. I came here looking for a camera that takes pictures for seven days non-stop.

oops... now im totally confused... i was planning to get a SE W980 tomorrow in Singapore... but after going through this thread it seems like camera is really going to be a pain...

i agree with all that this is a very good walkman series mobile...but suppose if you want to take a pix during dull climate or dark places i dont think this mobile will help out...

hmm... now changing my mind to go for a C902 or w902..

yes i do...i tried them both.

w902 have this new sound hardware/software called; clear audio experience and newer bass sound (only w980 & w902 who have that), better headphones.....it also have 8GB memory


c902 have better camera software (which produce a bit sharper/better pictures)...... it also have a this smart lens cover, (w902 lack lens cover).......c902 is VERY solid, (metallic-casing)

thats the main difference.................


if you out there for awesome pic-quality go for c902
-------------- || ---------- music quality go for w902
