Hi everyone ive recently bought a brand new "james bond" C902 from ebay and all was working as expected up until sun afternoon. Basically the 2 problems im having with the phone are the camera doesnt seem half as good as my previous phone K850 and this is even in day light shots, when you look at the screem before taking a picture it looks rather blurd. Secondly the actual camera button has stopped working completely which is abit worrying seeing as its less than a month old. In order to get a photo im having to use the main function key instead which results in poorer quality photos.

Do you think its worth sending back to SE for a repair under warranty and also id be interested if anyone else has had this issue.

Thanks in advance

Steve

1. "Before taking a picture, it looks rather blurd [blurred]."

Exactly! Because you are zooming in an item. That's in mine too. When I first bought the phone, I thought it was some kind o' a problem... I took a picture with the zoom on, I get perfect shots [except when I'm zooming in too much, I get a rather blurred image.]

2. " Actual camera button has stopped working".

Maybe you only pressed the button half-way down which can't shoot. Try pressing it fully. Don't press too much -- might get broken!

Send it back to Sony Ericsson! They will unscrew it and put a new button in, the button is the size of your nail and it wil take 3 weeks but at least you will keep your warrenty
