My dads mat has a C902 and it turns itself off during calls. I feel SE are still not capable of producing reliable firmware.
I have a separate camera, and tbh anything is better than whats on my W910.
Style is pretty important, but I'm not compromising usability/features for it. The soul seems to tick that box.
Playing with one today at 3 gave me the wow factor from my old W900 which I cannot find with any other SE phone.
Tbh now all I really use a phone for it to call and text. Take a few pics and rarely listen to music on the loudspeaker.

If you can wait about 3-4 months get a w705. Really i know its a bit to hyped up but i believe that one will make a change. It certainly looks it. Otherwise get a w760. A bit glitchy but if you travel a lot it takes international sims.

The W705 does look stunning, however, if you have forfilled the music/camera position with another device, why not get:
1. G900, the SE symbian interface is a dream to use, and makes a great change the trad SE software, a bit pricey at £200 sim free of ebay new
2. K660i, the most beautiful SE phone ever with 3G internet on ebay new for £100

I do like the W705, but the camera, it has no af, so thus it's not that great. Wifi is a great bonus though and makes it worth considering. How much do you guys think it'll be when it comes out. And will SE sort out their firmware and build quality issues with it??
The G900 looks rather complicated to use and tbh I don't think I need all the features it's offering. And the K660, well the screens a bit small and it lacks the all important wow factor in my opinion.
I just need a good looking reliable phone thats a pleasure to use. Mainly for calls and texts. Photos when I don't have my camera on me and music playback through the loudspeaker in a situation when I want to play music outloud, so thus a decent speaker is needed. And I don't think SE are offering what I want. Walkmans without decent cameras, is that what people want?
I appreciate you guys coming up with the suggestions though, you may be able to find me the perfect phone:)

The Soul is a decent device, but IMO it doesn't have any wow factor. I have the K660i for a week now (though I don't use it atm). It is really gorgeous and that's it's wow factor IMO. The features aren't that great, but it's just a decent phone for a small price. Perfect for a 16 y/o boy, IMO, though it's not that different form W910i.
Some K660i pics, to show it's beautifull design:
W705 seems like a great choise, too. It will be around €300 at it's release. Another phone that managed to impress me (I'm 15) is Nokia 5220. It has a gorgeous design and the music lights are nice. It's quite basic, though.

I really like the Samsung Soul. It fits the bill for me. It's slim, nice looking, slider, good camera with af and flash, made out of decent materials totaling more than 1p etc etc
Dont do it!! I did what you are thinking about doing with the Soul and I had to sell it as Samsung`s arnt a patch on SE`s as I began to realise as I used it.

First, I may sound thick but what does IMO mean?
And second, yeahh the K660 looks nice but I prefer the soul, it excites me much more and I'll get bored of the K660 pretty quickly I reckon considering it's UI is the same as my dreadful W910's. I'm guessing the soul doesn't do it for you then. May I ask what other phones you have/had? I had 4 SE's and tbh I'm getting bored of them.
how much is 300 euros in £££??
and paulc why do you say not to get a soul?

IMO means In My Opinion
I understand you'll get bored by K660i quickly since you've had W910. But the interface is all but dreadfull. It's actually the best interface on the market IMO, the one in Soul is much worse.
I've had (for at least one week):
Siemens M35
Sony Ericsson T230
Nokia 7650
NEC N400i
Motorola L6i
Siemens CX65
Sony Ericsson W810i
LG KU990 Viewty
Sony Ericsson K660i
Samsung U900 Soul
Sony Ericsson W760i
Nokia 5220 XpressMusic
Apple iPhone 3G
Sony Ericsson W902
Sony Ericsson W595
Sony Ericsson C905
Samsung M8800 Pixon (Well, actually received it today)
From these phones, W810 managed to impress me most.
An €300 phone here in the Netherlands is around £200 - 250 in Great Brittain, i think.
