What to buy ? C905 or Nokia 5800 or Nokia 5730.

Guys, I'm considering buying one of these as they are about the same price at a local store, I'm currently owning a C902,
I need a good camera ( low light), and Video playback (DivX probably) and good music.
Even though my inner geek keep telling me to get the C905 I'm a bit reluctant about the earpiece problem virtually every C905 users have faced, is it fixed now in the never models ?
What about the 5730's Battery life and Supplied headset's sound quality , What I'll be missing if I move to a Nokia ? Please help me

The 5800xm's camera is realy average, but it records better quality vids than the C905. It can play DivX,flv etc... with SmartMovie,has excellent sound quality, probably the loudest loudspeakers in a phone right now, free GPS with Ovi Maps, HTML Email with Nokia Messaging, great battery life for a smartphone etc... If camera isnt a big deal then get 5800xm, otherwise take C905, or look at W995. I wouldn't suggest the 5730xm to anyone,rather a N85 or N79.
