I'm on the look out for a new phone, and am wondering... what is the major difference between these two and which is the better buy? (Specifically, which has the best photo capabilities?)

I am tempted to wait for the C905, and may well do, though want to look at my current options.

Thanks.

The flash is different, design and firmware. Actually the C902 is better cuz the K850's bugs imo... But waiting for C905 is the best option imho.

K850 cost (cheapest web price) 280 euro
C902 ----------- || -----------340 euro

if K850 had been cheaper, i should go for K850...but because its no big difference i should go for C902.

C902 feels more solid though and have better color-reproduction.
(and yes, K850 can take great pics to)


i shouldnt wait for C905.... it will be very expensive when it comes, (it also to big..but thats my thought).

If you ask me, I would choose C902 all the way.

I have been researching both phones for a while now, well K850i since it got introduced last year and now c902, I have the C902 and I love it and do not regret not buying K850 tho flash on K850 is better, but then again do you want to have an ok flash but not great or do you want to have a xenon flash that breaks hence the change in design in the C902...the choice is yours...

any 8mpix cam phone that will be released will need much more work and refinement. In real life unless you are a pro photographer you will never need that type of ability. the 8 mpix vs. the 5mpix is the matter of enlargement of photos mostly and the grain that you gain the bigger the image. 5mpix for an average user that takes standard size pics is more than sufficient, in reality even a really good 3.2 mpix is more than sufficient. so do you want fastest, bestest, trendiest or well proven photo solutions to play with unitl they iron out the kinks in the 8mpix world...? and C905 is nothing to drewel about, it looks like a brick and does not bring much to the table imo, but also take it with a grain of slat from a Nokia user that is currently using on top of the C902i also N95 and N82 and ocassionally N73. So C905 is not meant to be a smartphone but a good photo solution, because they chose so so materials in terms of hardware the results I supsect will also be so so for now....later it will all change but not any time soon
best,
