@mriley, good review post!
For me, the battery life is better than the old K810i a lot, mine atleast can last for 4~5 days, maybe because i have 2 phones 
The bads:
1. The UI looks laggy compare to K810i, i know it's not cause by the phone performance, maybe can be fixed with dispdriver
2. The phone stop production very quick, make me have to buy a cheap phone with higher price  But it's worth for me! 
3. The keypad is too hard to use for me
4. No front camera
5. No WIFI
6. Night shot quality worse than K810i (both with Raiderski camdriver)
7. Lag in Media Center(i have 13236 pics) and when playing music in the background
8. Less mods compare to K810i 
The Goods:
1. Good camera quality! (except night shot)
2. Good sound quality!
3. Small size and light weight! (atleast lighter than K810i)
4. Very durable screen surface! (My screen don't have screen protector, but it still remain no scratch till now!)
5. Fast to open camera!
6. Support flash!
Overall, it's a great phone for me! I can snap anything everywere when I want! |

LOL thats a lot of pics!!! 
i think that lag you are experiencing is normal to what loads of pics you have n your media center.

@Junz
We all have different experience of the phone, so it's good to know what you think differently I am surprised you get so long out of your battery, I wish I got up to 3 days of use, but I think it's because I use the phone all the time at 100% brightness with light effects and keypad on. But I have two batteries so I never have to wait for C901 to charge  Seems like mine has had some wear and tear from me using it too much
@Bono
I need HSDPA to use internet fully, I need to play HD youtube videos via opera mini with no buffering, if I use GSM then videos will buffer, if I avoid putting my hand over the antenna then they will play fine I think you had the same problem with the Elm as the antenna is at the bottom of the phone.
@Dominick
The Greenheart version looks good in its product pics, all phones are so expensive in UK
@Ceaser
Don't give up in your search if you still want it, it took my almost 2 months to find one but I took a leap of faith and it worked out
@APR
Nice review there  seems like you have same experience as me with the keypad, I like the flat keys instead of curved ones that C901 has
@cyber-shot
We'll wait for your info on C901 
@mhyke
No, I just went on a long rant about what I thought about it yours is better, the one you posted in c901 discussion:
I got my c901 way back october last year and replaced my aging k800i, its a solid phone and cheap here in the Philippines.
I'm Using Noble Black
and here's what i can say about it about your concern:
Len's Cover/Back Cover
>yes, its not that solid like other k or c series, the lens cover tends to slightly out of its track in the sliding mechanism, so sometimes even you open the lens cover the camera wont start or it started then will go off and on, but there's a solution if this happens, just add a little piece of a paper of tape on the contacts of the lens cover, it will to the trick.
i really miss the solid back cover of K series phone
Color Fades
>another yes, for the silver part in the Directional button, it wears off, that's all for the color though, i dunno the part in the keypad
Camera Len's
>During Auto focus, the screen gets a bit blurred after the focus it will back to normal, i don't know if this is normal o not? but it doesn't affect the picture quality or anything, this only happens when lighting is poor, so i think its normal
Here's my
Pros
+Light and Slim
+Cool Design and Construction
+5mp Camera with lots of Camera Controls and Led/Xenon Flash
+Very Tactile Keypads
+Cheap Phone i bought it $230 Last Year
+Very Responsive Phone
+Face Book, Google Maps, Youtube, Web Feeds Integration
Cons
-No On/off Dedicated Media button
-No Front Facing Camera
-Loud Speaker is not that Loud
-Body made of Plastic only, no Metal >.<
-No Wifi/GPS
- Box Contents: No Memory Card, No Data Cable
But Overall, c901 is great and i think this is the last cybershot phone that SE made.
@Navar
Yeah, you are right, despite the C901 not having GPS chip the google maps tracking does a good job, I have used a a few times before with success

Battery life be long, thats one of many good things from modded phone.
I can life with just 10%-20% indoor, when outside 30%. But for that we must using a contrast theme (i'm use a black and white, so every thing still clear in my eye)
Accourding to me using IEM when listening music better for long battery life than a normal headset too. Just in my mind

Im on c901 now, you can still load pages fast with gsm only which I have on now
It only makes a difference when trying to play hd videos
I also found out how you guys are getting so long out of the battery, I have lowered my brightness to 10% and enabled gsm only and in 2 hours of non stop use the phone has remained the same battery percentage
@PK
Looking forward to pics
@Junz
Whats IEM?

In Ear Monitor
Have u check it untill the battery indikator under 5%?
Trust me from 100% to 80% have different long time than 30% to 10% (this happen to my phone)
I dont know why navar say this phone slower than k850i. May be some1 with both this phone can make a test, codehp may be.
