Hi, i would like to know if you can call the camera while the keypad is locked via the dedicated button or if you first have to unlock the keypad...
Thanks in advance! |

I dont think it could be done. if you slide the camera cover you'll get to the camera.

If you press the dedicated shoot button while the keypad is locked, the phone will prompt you to unlock the keypad first.
Also, I know I'm being a very lazy ass but does anyone know where I can get the original display drivers for C702? I got some links but somehow they just won't work anymore.

Yes, when the keypad is locked, if you slide the lens cover the camera will fire up. |

The thing is im right now the
c702, n78, 6220 classic n moto zn 5
are all available within the same range n its rather tough to decide..
every cel has one flaw or the other..
c702 n 6220 classic have no wifi.
zn 5 video capability max out at 176*220
n78 with its rather awkward look.. n plasticy feel.
makes my decisin all the more tough... |

My suggestion is to get your priorities straight i.e. what exactly are you looking for in your new phone?
If you want (slightly) better durability then C702 and ZN5.
For a camera ZN5 rules.
GPS -> C702.
Moddability -> A200 (which means C702 of course). |

The motorola does indeed have a very good cam, but motorolas arent very good or user friendly phones my last motorola lacked loads of features all the other phones had and it broke and had to be repaired
Never again would i buy a motorola, the nokia & c702 are the better phones.

Getting my priorities straight was the easiest part !!
but getting the phone with those priorities is another thing altogether...
As simple as i can explain....
I love music, i listen mostly while i ride my bike so i guess that means great earphones, quality and loudness wud be a factor. As far as i know the noise cancellation plugs of SE are the best in the business.
I click alot of snaps as well, n the occasional video, i guess all of these phones meet this requirement, bar the ZN5 bad video quality.
Durability is a key factor as i intend to keep this one for atleast 2 years.
GPS is preferred as i trek often n its kinda hard to get ur bearing right when its a cloudy day with mountains all around.
Battery life is also important. Im used to charge my SE k750 every 3 days or so. With 2 hours of calling n messaging, an hour of music and a few erratic games everyday.
Coming to the flash. the xenon on 6220 n zn5 are great, but never got any reviews about the c702 photo flash is it stronger flash than the k750i.
I guess reading all this wud make u think there is no better phone than the c702. But alas its this new thing in my college that has bummed out my plan.
Free Wifi in college. Actually it was there all along just didnt know about it...
So now that wud help me pass my time in college during em boring lectures.
So suddenly wifi became a priority that messed the whole thing up.
long story short, if given a choice for just $15-20 more wud u rather have taken the n78/6220/ZN5 or just stick with the c702 n get some accessories with that cash???
Thanks
Austin
PS: Sorry i get all hyper while buying any sort of gadgets, i tend to contemplate for a long time before i make a choice. So far no regretful choices [:p]

do you also take video alot? if not, maybe you should get the zn5. It has a very good camera and also have wifi which you can use in school.
I have zn5 and c702 currently, and I have used 6220 and n78 before. Both zn5 and c702 has very good built quality. the camera of zn5 is much better than c702. The xenon flash is very useful for indoor pics. The GPS of c702 uses googlemap for navigation. Unless u have unlimited data plan, you will incur high data charges.
The sound quality from zn5 is very good (using my own earphones). The supplied earphone of c702 is not very good, and you can't use your own earphones unless u buy an adapter. So I can't really guage how good the sound quality of c702 is.
The 6220 camera is very good also. However the built quality of 6220 and n78 is terrible. U feel that the phone is going to crack when you hold the phone too tight. The creaky plastic sound from the phone is annoying.
