im ordering the silver one soon. i'll let you guys know...
so far it looks promising and a big improvement from the previous SE phones.

i've been an SE fan for a while now. only use their phones (with the exception of one samsung) and love the way they work and how user friendly they can be.

currently have a k800 right now, just over 2 years old and it's starting to go all screwy on me -- receives messages from person A but it will say it's from person B (totally unrelated ppl)

Let us know what you think. Which vendor are you buying it from and for how much?
I'm also considering the Samsung INNOV8 and/or LG Renoir (KC910). Both 8 MP or I might just get the Tmobile G1 (3MP ). I really want the higher resolution phones.

Anyone consider the Samsung INNOV8?

I have the K750i - it has issues with picture taking. Sometimes it will save the pictures in memory, sometimes not. So I missed a few important pictures. Time to upgrade.

I had an iphone (non 3g). It was great, but camera sucks and no video.

my k750i has been flawless, aside from the down direction not working all the time.

another issue that i hate (and i might be the only one experiencing this) with the SE phones are the CHARGERS! they always break or become loose and you have to carefully adjust the charger on the phone in order to charge it. i think it just might be because im too aggressive with the chargers when i unplug them. i have a tendency to just yank them off which is a bad habit.

i'm most likely going to be buying it from www.welectronics.com

i like buying phones that they dont sell here in the US. i like to be "special"

These were shots taken by the C905. I love this phone and the camera has surpassed my expectations.

Yeah i have similiar issues with the charger. My k750i has always had issues with picture taking. I bought it with no warranty since they do not sell these in the states. Besides those issues I love the phone, BUT it's slow when there are alot of big files on the fs (audio files for example).

Yeah it's cool when people ask about your phone because they don't recognize it (not the reason I'm buying of course) .....

Nice. I noticed you mentioned the INNOV8. That supposidly takes better pictures than the c905 and better video. The C905 wins hands down in the UI dept.

The innov8 takes better night pictures. And video. The C905 pawns it in everything else. Especially day pics where color reproduction is most accurate.

i'm using the K850i (5 MP cam) now and the camera works so well. have thought of changing to an internet phone (ie G1 or Xperia) but not having the high MP for the camera just sucks.
so this might be next on list too

Hmm... Not from the review I've read somewhere where they compared 8 MP camera. The c905 came out avg in the picture taking dept. But day pics are definately nice, but not as nice as the INNOV8. I even saw samples comparing all four cameras. The INNOV8 had better color reproduction. If I find that review, I'll post it here.

Oh about video, the sony was rated 2/10. The innov8 was rated a 7 or 8 out of 10.

The C905 powns every camera in the UI dept. It even has transition effect when going from pic to pic.

Hey, if I send ya money can you buy me an innov8? How much is it over there in singapore?
