I've seen some C902's photos and they are awesome. But C902 is UGLY, yes, i'd prefer a k850 insted of this new phone.

So what's wrong with the k850? What Does a k850 need in order to take awesome photos like a c902? a better firmware?

I Think SE will stop releasing new FW for the k850 very soon.

It is better for me to consider it as a prototype unit, first one in test the 5mp camera and both flashes. I sold mine already. The phone was slow! Pics were not that great, hard to reach focus and have vivid colors.

The c902 camera is a big improvement in colors BUT when u full size it there is a lot of noise. Dont know why. I see this problem in all c902 photos posted the pic thread

I dont think the k850i can reach c902 in terms of sharpness and color. But the flash still have me in love with it.

The C902 will never have the K850's 'Cool Factor'. I love the K850's design, looks like something out of a Transformers movie or somethin', and that Blue light around the cam lense when booting up the phone and when booting up the camera is awesome, and the fact that it looks like a real digi cam at the back is like the cherry on top,and the sound of that mechanical lense protector closing my K850 is pretty stable and quick around menus,havent had any major problems.

The C902 does feel very solid in the hand and is a nicer size too. However, I kept my K850i and am selling my C902 as I wouldn't really gain much by keeping it.

Pics ive taken with my K850 look good IMO, the C902 may have better colour but once the K850 is stable and running well its fantastic!, plus C902 doesnt even have Xenon flash. Just out of curiousity at how many mhz is K850s CPU Running at?

I think the real question for the topic is "Will the C902 be like the k850i someday"?

Yes, I was thinking that too.

I didn't think the K850i possessed any 'Cool Factor'. With its huge size, bland looks and poor reputation online, I'd have thought 'Cringe Factor' would be more appropriate. Mind you, I don't own one and if you do and you like it, then that's great!

The C902 also looks bland to me, a bit like a sooped-up K610, while the C702 is saved from mediocrity only by its Cyan variant. Roll on 's true flagship, the stunning C905! I can't wait.

have u seen a k850i in real life because CG photos tend to make the phone look boring and larger then normal. I thought the phone was huge before i purchased one but the sec i took it out the box it look amazingly smaller than what i thought.

I would go for the K850 instead of the C902, tried the C902 for myself and I dont like it, first of all the design is not good (imo), second ; K850 took better pics then the c902 for me.

And yeah, thats all actually
