I agree with the points - but I think photo quality is a hard thing to judge and in my opinion definitely shouldn't be judged by its speification - so many people think the bigger the MP count the better the quality, if you hear any question about a camera people have just seen they will be asking how many mega-pixels it has. I think the only way you can test picture quality is to either view identical shots taken with a tripod (so no cam shake) and look at them full size side by side - a better way would be to print them out, but you'll find loads of reviews that just waffle about how good the camera is - just judging it by its specs
My advice is to get experience with the phones and do lots of reading reviews about them to make the right decision

- c901 has something most good phones don't have: Real xenon flash. Also arguably the best camera phone on the market.
- For music, it's pretty good, but GSM arena notes it has very poor frequency response
- You can download games and apps from sony ericsson, but you'll have to buy a memory card and data cable.
- Can't play DIVX or anything fancy.
- No wifi, and the internet browser is pretty bleh.
The Nokia N-8x series fits your requirements pretty well, especially the n86. Downside: Large size and pricey.
I dunno if this was brought up yet, but LG secret.
- Plays DIVX.
- A pretty good 5mp camera. And one of the best video cameras on the cell phone market.
- Very good audio quality.
- No Wifi, but the browser ain't too bad.
- 99% sure there are some decent downloadable games for it out there.
- Battery life is lower than the other phones you are looking at.
- Possibly one of the largest fingerprint magnet offenders in existence.

I agree with what Matt says mega pixels mean nothing although between 3 and 5 mega pixels a difference can be seen. But the c901 is looking a bit dated now Sony Ericsson need an over haul
Phone?? What phone?? |

Dated? It's the smallest thing out there with xenon flash and a camera that doesn't suck.
And, while MPs don't mean much, 80% of the time more MPs = better camera quality in the cell phone world. |

Its got nothing to do with size. I am saying that Sony Ericsson interface is starting to look tired and dated and needs refreshing. Its getting boring now. Yes they have a Xenon flash but i still think imo Sony Ericsson cameras are getting worse thats just what i think. Having recently used other mobiles going back to the Sony Ericsson interface for me now is not feeling as exciting as it once was. Some of their phones feel like toys and nothing screams innovative anymore. I hope they improve and these are my opinions.

At least that's what they try and make us believe

With your requirements, it probably makes more sense to look elsewhere. W995 definitely can't stand on the same platform as the top end C-series eventhough it's the closest to your match. W995 can do a lot though, I had to choose between C901 which I knew had the best cam from SE, and W995 and I have no regrets to date. Just for the sake of comparison here's some of the better examples of both phones.

Yes, the w995 is the best choice. Remember to keep your lenses clean when taking a shot and you will be fine! |

I think I'll go with C901 because camera is very important to me.
Could someone please count cons of C901 against W995?
I want to know what I'm missing.
Besides, what about N86 and N96? what do you think about them vs C901? |

LMAO! How does the W995 fit his criteria when it cant even play DivX/AVI etc...
The N86 8MP fits EVERYTHING you want in.
To play DivX/Xvid/avi/flv etc...Videos just get CorePlayer, SmartMovie, Kinoma player or DivX Player apps.
For gaming you have 3 choices, Ngage2.0 which has a very wide variety games, Ovi Games at Ovi Store and then other 3rd party games including SE's java games, so Fishlabs stuff should work.
On its latest firmware it is apparently stable,just hack it if you want to mod it,tweak apps etc... Overall the N86 fits your criteria perfectly, ofcourse i wouldn't expect many here to say that
