Just another SE haters thread. Anyway congratulations.

Buying a Nokia just because SE Currently does not have anything to offer to a user who needs some features does not qualify him as an SE hater. I've been waiting for the last 3 years for a phone from SE That can replace my S60 devices. I know they will deliver. Waiting till then. I still am an SE fan.. But as of now, nothing from them that can force me to switch.

Thanks for all the possitive comments. I haven't turned into an SE hater. I've just moved on to what is probably the only Nokia that interested me. I was keen on the N82 until I saw it - all that silver must be prone to wearing out quickly.

I've done some photo testing tonight (mainly short distance shots) and have to say that the camera definately out performs the K800. I ran tests on the N95 at both 5mp and 3mp and in all cases the photos from the N95 were (in my opinion) better. The photos are better focused, not washed out and most importantly they don't suffer from the aliasing issues that have bugged me so much with K800. I never really used the flash much on the K800 and when I did It would be too strong for close up shots or result in dark looking images. However, I will miss the ability to use the flash at night to take clear pictures of moving objects - I was really impressed with how well the K800 did this.

I think Nokia must have done some work on the camera because I haven't seen evidence of the heavy compression that was visible in early N95's. I won't bore anyone with photos - I'm sure everyone has seen enough comparisons.

Before I consider coming back to SE I would like to see SE improve speaker volume and give us a new user interface. I do find it ironic that the 8mp C905 was announced a couple of days after I got my N95 - but looking at early reports I'm happy to stick with my decission. To me the c905 whiile looking very nice is just the same thing with a better camera. I must say it looks like a very good camera - This is a good sign of what will be around when I next upgrade.

So, I'm happy with my choice. I've only posted this because I hope others might be interested in my experience. Each to their own - Mobile phones are a very personal thing and what suits one person might not suit another. What I have learnt is not to judge phones so much without actually getting to use them properly.

congratulations on your magnificent purchase..!! i was first with nokia and got a 3230 (which i still have) and then switched to SE (now a w810i), but i guess i would be switching back to nokia, for all the new phones with features that come with it..!! hoping that SE comes out with something solid..!!

I'm with

phones from a LONG time ago... I see them OK. Their features and etc, so I'm sticking with

for now

Anyway, the K800's great specification is it's camera speed. The speed it takes the picture. It could easily capture a working fan at full speed

i agree! what a very mature response. i've been following the phone models for different brands as well. i'm still happy with my old 6680 although it has only 8MB of RAM. my primary phone though is my k800i.

more on comparative specs of s60 phones covering different brands. the e71 and e66 are both still not on the list.

@mongoose:

very well said (refer to 1st post).. i was actually looking at N95 for the longest time already since it was launched and with the latest N95-2 - i am now seriously considering of getting one..

i currently own a K810i and i love it being an SE fanboy since Ericsson days

but N95 seems to be much more than being Nokia.. i'm more of a camera guy and that Carl-Zeiss optics really is a big come-on for the N95, not to mention the versatility it offers among its customizable options

i'm still an SE fanboy, though

The only 2 annoyances I have are 1) you can't control volume once a Java game is launched. 2) Sliding the phone shut doesn't hang up.

Cheers. I hope you'll be happy with your choice. I did a similar thing, getting the N82 and wasn't too happy. I won't mention all the annoyances I experienced though, but it was enough to go back to my W800, and I feel I did give it a fair chance. But it all depends on usage, and I guess my usage fits SE the most. If only they'd shape up on the camera-part, then it'd be perfect.
