It's time to buy a new phone. I can't afford to pay a lot of money, but i want to take a useful mid range phone.
Help me choose between c510 and c902. I've read thousands of reviews and opinions, and everyone says why is it good to have one of them, but i want to find out why one is better than the other one (overall).

What i mean ?
I need a phone with a good battery life, a descent camera, music ready. I like both of the phones. As soon as i see, everybody says c902 is the better one, because of the camera. Ok. 5 mpx is really better than 3.2 mpx, but i see the video quality is lower. The better image quality is not a must, because even the 3,2 mpx looks really good. What i am interested is the overall performance. What will i miss if get c510, or what will i miss if i take the other one ?

Thank you in advance !

I have had both phones & I would get the c902. It has better camera better build good battery very reliable with latest firmware(if you don't drop it like me)only thing is smaller screen than c510. The c510 has nice screen but it has its flaws. The signal is appalling on the c510 & the call quality is muffled too. Camera in good light is ok nothing amazing but dreadful in lowlight. Whereas the c902 is good in lowlight if you play about with the settings. The c902 has good colours & sharpness for picture quality & if you can live with the smaller 2" screen then get it. You get used to it after a while. The c902 has good music quality too though not the best out there but still decent.

It's not anything to write home about but if you watch it on the phones screen not on a pc it looks quite good with a good frame rate. I even used it to good effect in the dark with the video light on & EV turned up to max I could see alot in the dark recording video so its not that bad I have seen worse,it's QVGA @ 30fps. It is the better performing phone overall & if you see c510 next to c902 shots together the c510 has colder colours. Get c902 I seen it in Carphone for £94

The C510 cam is a diluted version of C902 IMO eventhough it's newer. I'd take the latter for camera performance.

No, they don't come with it. Although you can download it.
