Uh? No way! That's the price of a E71 or a new Elm.
Btw, if you want to take photos, really, forget the C510. There are many other better options on ebay, for the same price.
See my photos taken with the C902, Satio or E72 in here! |

@matts
Is camera the main feature you want? Sony ericsson Elm is a good phone with a good camera but with no Xenen flash,

Yeah the camera is a pretty big part im looking at. Some other features would be nice like threaded messaging but other than that nothing else really matters to me. I have a W580i right now and im hooked on the easy menus and all that so i would like to stay with Sony Ericsson. |

Ill share my experience of buying I new phone last year. The w580 was my last phone. When it got lost I needed a new mobile and this time round I wanted one with a good camera, I had seen photos from k800 and was impressed with the quality... I even bought one for £3 from a friend. That phone died after a few weeks of use so I spent the next few weeks reading about SE camera phones and discovered the c901 was the best camera phone from the c and k range. Long story short it took me three months to buy the phone its so difficult to get. The camera is good but couldnt replace any compact. Build quality not so good,
I would say elm is a better choice than those from the c range.

I would recommend you a C901 instead. For $5 more you find it on ebay.

Agree strongly here, hardware&firmware is definitely more advanced. Matts, if you can get an Elm within or close to your price limit get it. Also steer well away from secondhand phones unless it's given to you as a gift or virtually free. |

How about SE C905? Since you are particular with quality of camera then this one is probably what you need plus it's reasonably priced too.  |

After checking out all the phones suggested I think im gonna go with the C901. The image quality from the camera is what got me, I was also cindering the Elm but i don't really like the design. Im going to order from myworldphone.com and was wondering if any of you guys have ordered from there and what was your experience like? Cheapest website i could find selling the C901 at $189.99. Auzelect has the phone at $169.99 but it doesn't like a very safe website. If you guys have found another place where i could buy this it would be very helpful...Thanks for the help. |

Elm's camera is absolutely great, too bad it doesn't have a lens cover, though. A good camera like that NEEDS a lens cover.
