I'd say wait for C902, even new K850i can get BROD...
Don't risk it...

I agree. If you don't mind the lack of xenon flash, the C902 is better in image quality, build quality and software reliability (and looks in my opinion!).

What proof do you have for that? Do you have proof that the Senser is better on the C902? In my opinion the K850i is great. It's even better with the new firmware. It may be thicker then the C902 but it has a loud louder speaker bigger screen and a xenon flash.

Bascially the C902 is a stylish camera phone, the K850i is the true camera king out of the two.

It's an amazing phone, I love it. The build is amazing, I prefer the nice glossy plastic. Plus the Sim Card/Memory Card*/battery are all together in a nice hidden hatch at the bottom. This is useful if you have multiple cards and you don't have to take the battery out every time.

Go for the k850i wit the latest firmware on it.its very stable.yes it may be fatter than the c902 but its a tough good quality phone. Why buy a c902 when it does not have a xeon flash? The photo's without the flash that the k850 has will look horrible on the c902. Am really happy wit my k850i i don't think you'l regret it.you will love the k850i

The problem is he wants to take A Refurbished K850i which in my case i won't bother even it was an X1 !!!!

@pinoysd
If you really like K850i then you better save some money to get the brand new one with the latest FW which still can get the infamous BROD....

Der is no problem in buying a Refurbished K850i. It will still have the same 2 year warranty with the handset and remember not all handsets are fault free. If you really want to go with the C902 read about the problems in this forum that handset has had too. At the end of the day you need to think why you need this phone or the c902 phone. If you want a phone for great camera features then go for the K850i. If you are going to go for the c902 you will be missing out in your phone having important camera features. If you just want a phone for its looks because the c902 is a bit slimmer than the k850 then go for that. In my honest opinion i think the c902 looks ugly its shape is not good, but thats my own opinion.

As I said ask yourself this question:

DO YOU WANT A CAMERA PHONE WHICH I GREAT AT TAKING PHOTO'S WITH A GREAT FLASH? Also do you want a phone that has the option of having 2 memory card formats?

IF YOU ANSWER YES = K850I
IF YOU ANSWER NO = C902.

up to you to decide.
