Hello all!!
I originally bought an N82 black but put it back in its box after only two weeks of use as I'm now boycotting Nokia and Motorola (http://www.mylinkspage.com/israel.html). Am trying to sell it but no luck as yet (any buyers?  )
So, I went on the net to find an alternative to the N82. I wanted a good camera with xenon flash and WiFi. Found the C905 black, thought it's the phone for me. Bought it. Loved it. Even smaller than the N82. Very nice.
BUT.... disastrous build quality!! First 08W48 failed with bad 1 button. Exchanged it at shop for a new C905 also 08W48. Speaker failed about a month later. Disgusted with SE for this. I even put up with the countless bugs in the C905's software but this is too much. I was planning on changing my loyalty to SE from Nokia but, after this, I doubt I'll ever trust them again. Truth is, I feel that Nokia are miles ahead of SE.
So, now I'm looking for an alternative.
I've been on the net for the last few hours but can't find what I'm looking for. I fear that there may not be the phone I'm looking for. I tried using a few phone finders (such as http://www.gsmarena.com/search.php3) but I thought I'd ask you experts in case you know of anything.
I'm looking for:
- At least 5MP camera with Xenon flash (is strobe the same?)
- WiFi
- Non-touchscreen keypad (don't like touchscreen)
- Don't want a big bulky thing. Nothing taller than N82 and nothing too much wider or thicker than C905.
- Secondary videocall camera would be nice (not essential)
Please help me out good people! |

Well you have got the n82 and c905 to chose from with those specs.. And k850i but i doubt you are interested in that one
If you like me want a good xenon flash there isn´t many options |

5mp cam atleast, with Wi-Fi and XENON, non-touchscreen? I honestly think the N82 is your only choice, theres the Samsung Innov8 but that has no Xenon and when open its REALY tall, theres Nokia N79, smallest and lightest Nseries by far, it only has a Double LED flash but has everything else you want, theres also 6220c BUT its missing Wi-Fi, and has everything else.

i personally love the nokia N series. was using an n82 for a few months. was a great phone, especially for the price. using an n95 8gb now as i fancied a change, thats also a good phone, just no xeon.

Thanks for the replies guys... thought it seems that the fact that I'm boycotting Nokia was lost on most of you Don't buy Nokia people!!
Aaaaaaaaanyway, I would stay with my N82 if it wasn't a Nokia. It's got everything I want (though the keypad is a real killer for the thumbs).
Was looking at the Samsung G810. Looks like it's got everything I want if a little on the wide side. Don't think carphonewarehouse have it though and I need to get it from them as I'm doing an exchange with them. So, might go for the INNOV8 even it doesn't have Xenon flash and just change again and sell my INNOV8 at a later date when another phone becomes available.
I'm half thinking about sacrificing the WiFi. I can manage with GPRS and EGPRS as long as I'm in one of my home networks.
Not that hot on buying SE again but has anoyne ever had problems with the k850i like with the C905? It doesn't have WiFi by the way.
Thanks again for the help guys!
