yup...i catch your drift dude
this is the fact that is making me think over and over abt this move
i've never used a moto before and a change of things sounds better (linux hehe)
but being such a long time user of SE puts me to wonder if i'll find the same user friendliness i find in SE's with which i'm very used to (used to as also a bit bored of)

haha well i find SE's interface the most "un-boring". That said i've only been back to SE for around 3 months unlike you who has been using them continously for much longer
So in your case...change is good , if you're the type that changes phones once or twice a year, even if you don't like the purchase the mistake won't be long lived.

?

i read about zn5 flash and it was not very good, it have "burn" issues (make you pictures to bleached sometimes).

but the biggest point is that zn5 is absolutley UGLY ! (it looks just ridicolous with its touchkeys and ugly plastic-design).
sure i have seen quite many good pictures bu zn5 Kodak camera, but thats the only point with this phone.

c902 have better design and also (like zn5) a good camera, i would easily go for c902 here.


zn5 got 500Mhz cpu, Wlan, larger screen, 3.5mm port and real xenonflash.

The only down with zn5 is the lack of UMTS and HSDPA.

What's hard about these choices?

A Motorola
A stylish, well specced camphone used by 007
The second worst (after the P990) which has only recently become tolerable.

Hmmm... lets see... ummm...

umm your argument is at most worthy of being ignored!
i don't take defense at the Motorola's but c'mon...is it smth wrong with the name?..or what?
I can too say Sony Ericsson?....HA or a stylish well specced Samsung Armani?

let's not be childish here and post some serious arguments based on some handsets experience!
also apart from the video recording and accelerometer the C902 has nothing extra..
the looks are on a minimal importance for me and the Zine ZN5 is also quite nice and the materials used in it's manufacturing are all of a good quality. (rubberized, metal back and surrounding the display, mineral glass)

Thanks @ Mobile Review

get a good looking device and then complain as others?
"i've wish it had wi-fi, xenon flash, 3.5mm jack or a bigger screen"

the C902 is damn classy no question abt it

Nothing childish or ignorant about what I said. Everyone knows Motorola's UI is inferior to SE and that they haven't done a decent feature phone since the RAZR V3; though I did think the V9 was very stylish even if overpriced. No-one takes Moto seriously these days and that pic you posted just proved my point!

C902 is an excellent phone and shows a whole new generation of thinking from SE in terms of styling, hardware and firmware. The K850 is a hangover from the K750-K810 generation which like the P990 was one model too many and suffered from the same 'I hate my phone and I'm never buying SE again' consumer reaction.

So two dud phones and one very good one. Not rocket science this choice is it?

think like that dudes
letting the design aside i think the moto wins hands down in my opinion
and seeing the phone LIVE is a difference trust me (not a beauty but okay)
i purely want some functionality...not ONLY design

my mouse pointer is hovering above order now button from the store
and its on ZN5's page

i've reached to the conclusion that SE seems a bit boooring for me from owning so many of their devices
still there's a secret
i also have a black W900i as a secondary phone that i wouldn't trade for nothing in this world
