Hi,

I plan to buy myself a new phone in just a few hours, there is no doubt about the brand so now the only concern is the model, so here is my dilema:

C905 or Aino

I only require mineral glass so this would be mandatory for my next phone, I hate scratches, so please tell me which would be the winner in this category. Iread that they both have mineral glass on the diplay, but i would need the confirmation from actual owners.

The next thing is the build quality.

The c905 has xenon but the aino has bogger touch screen, c905 needs the more expensive m2 cards and the aino comes with 8gigs in the box, i would heavily use the device as an mp3 player so this could be considered too, so if they both are equipped with mineral glass, which one should i choose.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Aino. No doubt. It's the best music-phone around. You get a BT headset in the box too.

Wow impressively fast reaction, 2:0 for the Aino so far.

So could i consider that the aino comes with mineral glass on the diplay so it would not get scratched??? I am sorry for annoying you with that mineral glass but it is damn important for me to have a scratchfree display.

Thanks once again.

The only thing I miss on my C905 is the better quality photos.

By comparison, my new Aino has longer battery life, better bluetooth and Wi-Fi range, very nice touchscreen with great playback, nicer media player, much louder speaker and hopefully much better build quality! Just fitted a 16gb Sandisk card and the camera speed is FASTER! And now I can watch movies with no touchscreen lag or loss of sound (previous problems with the 8gb card).

Until the Vivaz comes out, this would be my pick.

Yes, the screen is mineral glass. Here's one of the review sites that says this http://reviews.cnet.com/cell-[....]lack/4505-6454_7-33667696.html
I'd go for Aino simply because of the infamous C905 earpiece defect that has happened to EVERYONE I know who owns one. That's a terrible defect for a phone to have

Not all C905 have earpiece defect. Though my wife send it back twice, flexcable and D-pad.
Aino it is, isn't it.

The C905 is obsolete now. Consider the much more reliable W995 above it or Aino.

Both phones are shit, C905 with its problems which already been mentioned. And Aino with weak ass software quality.
I would wait for Hazel/Elm or Vivaz. Guess you should assume they will be cursed with problems too, but at least they are in a better price range with more features

Excuse me. Aino weak? If you said it's just another SE, I could agree with you. But weak, no way.
