True mate!

Xenon Flash is a rarity in phones.
has started it with k800 and has maintained the most number of Xenon flash bearing camphone in its portfolio

am waiting for the next Cybershot reincarnation of c901
but for now, i am contented with my Elm



I agree. I like my c901. The only 2 things I'd like to change it would be:
Wi-Fi
Better User Interface (I'd rather Symbian)
8 MP (This last one is not a priority)

After comparing and seeing the difference on those excellent shooters, I'm decided to get an Elm in the far future.

Even if it doesn't equipped with Xenon, Elm's low light shots isn't that noisy. It's even sharpier.

Anyway, I'm not after the sophisticated digital photography the C901 offers. I'm just after mobile phone photography.

I could do without the Xenon flash but not without Wi-fi. I need to be connected.

I will still keep my c901. I'm still waiting so Nokia decides to launch a phone with Wi-Fi and 5 MP Xenon Flash with Symbian and no touchscreen... That's my dream

Nokia already released this a few years ago, the N82. Too bad the keypad and the design ruined everything.

You are right; the N82 had lots of features and was an excellent phone in many aspects when it came. HSDPA, great 5MP cam, autofocus, xenon flash, GPS, and Wi-Fi, accelerometer sensor, 3.5 mm audio, stereo speakers, 2.4 inch display with 16M colours, you name it. IMO the best from Nokia (for those not looking for a touch screen) if they want all. But tiny, teeny buttons... with poor ergonomics. As usual, no matter company, it seems like it's very difficult to get everything right.

Oh yes, N82 was just too much. That horrible design.
Before my c901 I had my Nokia N79. I sold it because the camera is not the best. Now, I kinda miss it, not that much but some things I miss

Just noticed something on the Elm tonight. When taking a lowlight shot I turned the exp up to full & I could see them lines moving up & down the screen quite rapidly. Hope this gets fixed

Just an off-topic question about the elm; does it have a hook somewhere to have a cellphone strap attached to it? Either on the bottom or top? I've been trying to find pictures but I can't find any that show any hint of a space for cell phone strap.

I really love all the features this phone is packed with...and the greenheart is just a plus. I wish it came in green though...

Great thanks for the quick reply!!

Also...is there a front camera on this phone for video calls? I read that there wasn't, but when i saw pictures it looked like there was a small circular...hole thing in the front near the ear speaker...but is that just part of the speaker or is it actually a front secondary camera?

No there is not a video call camera it's the light sensor on the front

Hmm, that's a bummer, but okay. Also, one last question...

I want to get a small fish eye/wide angle lens for it if I buy it, check:

http://www.strapya-world.com/products/31538.html
or
http://www.strapya-world.com/products/31762.html

do you think it can fit around it? From the pictures it looks as if the camera is "beveled" into the phone but it says it needs minimum 13 mm or 15 mm (whatever that means) around the camera part in order to fit.

Thanks for answering my questions!!
