In the phone comparison chart I would like to see if the phone can be used as a flash light. (I guess that xenon camera flashes cannot be used as flash lights?)

What do you think?

Ok, but the point is to know about this when you compare phones

I had the K750i as my last phone, I have to admit that I miss the white LED light for taking photo's. i find the flash on my K800i too bright at close quarters and get overexposure even with the camera exposure at -2.00. The flash fails also at distances over 3 meters, as with my basic Olympus digi camera the flash is fine to around 5 meters. In my opinion, the K800i could serve me well with a white LED as well, it would round the camera functions up nicely.

Well SE's new camera phones will have dual-flashes (both Xenon and LED), soo you'll still be able to use the flash as a torch.

if i'm not mistakened,the k850i has both xenon flash and led,so there might be an option to choose between one the two,that way you can overcome the overexposure problem...
EDIT:lol,we always say almost the same things at the same times!

When taking images, the Xenon Flash will be the BEST to use ! As I think that there are times the Xenon Flash (indoor-night-shots) are much SHARPER compared with those taken - OUTdoors even when the SUN is shining at it's - PEAK ! strange . . . BUT TRUE (with my experience ) . . . [addsig]

with flash attachment on K750, but K800 flash set's camera ISO FAR TOO HIGH, and causes water colour affect like it's going out of fashion

Trully speaking I think that the xenon flash would be much better.

the xenon burns too bright. You can't run a xenon for more than a second, it will burnt out, then you will have no xenon flash at all.
