Hello!
I'm buying a new phone and I need an advice which one to buy.
I can't decide between C901 and ELM.
I'm very ˝demanding˝ about phones.
I use them mostly for listening music and taking photos, but I would like that both things are perfect.
Clear sound, good bass, clear photos with good colors...
I saw photos of C901 and ELM and they are excellent, but I am not sure about the sound quality.
I use HPM-77 for listening music. I had them on my ex-phone, C510, and the sound was perfect, of course, with changed acoustics.
Should I go for ELM because of the new software and few extra features (WiFi, A-GPS), or buy C901?
Thanks in advance!

I read that the Elm is better for music, but is worse than C901 in low light with/without flash

I'll say go for c901 
It has manual eq when elm doesnt. May be some people said the image quality from both this phone almost same, but with c901 u get lens cover, xenon flash, and camdriver from the "god" which make c901 better for some people.
C901 also support patching and elf.
Im just give my opinion about c901 because i dont have an elm, he...he...

That's just great.... How come SE didn't put manual eq 
I gave up from ELM....
I'd like to buy black C901, but there isn't black C901 in Croatia, only the white one, and honestly, I don't like it in white that much...
Thanks for the info about ELM

They are both in the same pirce range... £120 - £160
Go for the Elm is you want a well rounded phone that will fit most of your needs, if you care a lot about the camera go for the C901.

Thx for the suggestion, I took C905 for now, it is the best I can get for the money.
I'll probably take ELM after software improvements, when all bugs will be removed.

You've bought the C905 or just thinking of buying it?

No, I bought it.
My friend was given C905, which he doesn't need, for his birthday, (he has XPERIA X10) so he sold it to me for 120£.

Mainly because of the camera, yes. But it also has WiFi, A-GPS, and lot of useful options.
And because of modding! I put modded acoustic drivers, and the sound on my HPM-77 is excellent.
I had C905 once, and I sold it, but now I realized I've made a mistake, because it's just the phone for me.
It has everything I need. Maybe it is a little bit older, but it still ˝has the power˝ 
I'll probably buy ELM, but, as I said, when SE improves his software.
