Well, as the question says, can you name any SE flip phone that has a camera and flash and can record videos?

I tried combing the web earlier today in search of that perfect phone for my gf but couldn't come up with a single hit. GSMArena didn't throw up any results via the advanced search button but I can't really believe that SE are missing out on such a huge segment.

There's always the Nokia 6267 that has all three functions but it's just so bland and generic. Besides, I want her to stay with my preferred manufacturer.

I don't think SE has a clamshell that has a led flash in their portfolio...

Good suggestion if you like ancient phones!
That came out about 3 years ago! Maybe you could find a crap one on ebay for £5

There are no clam shells in the current line up with a photo light of any kind I'm afraid.

What are you talking about? X1, C905, W902, T700 etc. - all of them have a flash module. It's just that does not have a respectable flip in its repertoire.

For some weird reason the majority of flip phones don't have flash leds...

W980, Z770 and Z780 are clams worthy of respect. SE does not make a do-everything flip just like it didn't make a do-everything candybar until just recently with the W902. There just isn't the market for it.

BTW the Z800/V800 is a superb phone; I have two working V800's and the 6 LED's are unbeatable.

Z770? Sorry, but I fail to see how that phone would ever stand out in the sea of flip phones.

Unless our definitions of "do-it-all" devices vary greatly, did create an all-in-one candybar in '06: the W810i The W902 is the true successor of that great phone.

If you REALY loved your gf a lot you'd get her a NOKIA N93i, most functional GSM flip around and it has a Flash, 3x Optical zoom, TV-Out, video recording at VGA 30FPS, nice 2.4inch screen, wi-fi. plus its got a huge mirror for when she wants to do make-up and all that.

I guess they do, you see I don't rate a 2.5G phone at all when 3G was already commonplace in 2006. The HSDPA equipped Z770/Z780 stands out for me, but then I place higher priority on web browser and modem functions than you do and you clearly rate AutoFocus as a must have which I have never had on any of my phones and don't care about either.

I respect your opinion, please respect mine.
