Ok, im struggling to find a new phone to replace my C902 so i need some suggestions or ill end up having another C902!

My criteria:

Must have buttons - I dont mind an element of touch screen but it has to have buttons to text with
Not Smart phone - I use my phone as a phone, not a portable media device to have no use for all the extra features.

My main uses are calling, texting and taking photos so i want a decent camera, minimum of 5mp.
I prefer the candy bar style which rules out a lot of phones so im prepared to be flexible with that.

From what i can see there is the Elm coming out but that seems to be a very slightly updated version of the C902, theres the Aino but from reading reviews people havent been overly impressed with its photo capabilities.

So has anyone got any other suggestions for me? I've always had SE but am considering moving to the dark side to find a phone i like/want

Doesn't neccesarily have to be brand new either, im even considering looking at the C905.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers

for now aino is the best bet, second choice w995....all phones have their downsides nothing is perfect but surely you can live with it....you can find the pros and cons all over the threads

I'm confused, your criteria says manual buttons is a must and then you say you're thinking about getting the Anio...

The Elm looks nice, though pretty similar to the C902,

c905 obviously is a risk to get, but is a nice phone needless it's faults.

I will prefer you to start thinking of C901. Soon it will be supported by the best camdriver mastermind: raiderski.

K850i was good, but C901 more better.

It's not easy is it - Theres not much out there that fits my criteria where as a few years ago there would have been loads to choose from.

Im basically stuck between an Aino, an Elm or another C902 which is a fairly limited choice considering 2 of those phones are almost identical
