Although the P1i has the green tint problem on what seems to be most units it looks to me like this has lead to people believing the overall images by the camera aren't up to scratch either. So, for comparison how does results from the P1i camera compare to say the k750 / k800?

I guess for those of us who will buy the P1 outside of the UK we will be forever stuck with the green tint. I am buying my phone online for use in Jamaica. So I unless a firmware update fix this, then I'm stuck. Sadly I don't have o2 at my disposal.

I'm really satisfied with the pictures of my P1, even with the green tint. Coming from a K800, it's harder to take good shots because you musn't move the phone at all during the shot

But, just to know, is there a simple way to remove that green tint on the PC using the gimp software? By adding a filter for example?

I'm sure you could make manual filter as long as the software supports that (I've not used gimp before)

So, how do photos compare from k800 to p1 (not including bestpic, shake control - just the overall picture quality)

So, do we finally know for sure whether it's a hardware or firmware problem? As it seems that for some people, changing the camera module (hardware) solved the problem, but for some, changing FW versions also altered the result.

Or could it be that it's originally a hardware problem that SE tried to correct with FW that somehow compensates the green tint, and that this FW acts differently in different situations (i.e. lighting conditions), hence the varying results that users get ?

I'm quite interested in the final conclusions of this as

1. I'd like to buy a W960 soon and it seems to suffer from the same problem
2. 4 months after the initial release of the P1, the problem is still alive and kicking and no definite solution was brought to the table. Worse, new P1s also seem to suffer from this, so it's likely that SE have not changed anything in the way they are manufactured, so the problems remain.

I regret to say, that my phone has the ugly green flaw too...

I'll be watching this topic surely! Maybe someone will finally find a solution to our problem.

Greetz to all P1i owners.

well one poor fix to the problem is colour adjusting photographs. Like i said this is not a good fix but it works.

At the moment i cannot be left without a phone so sending it for repair seems out of the question. I might see if i can get a replacement while mine is for repair...

I would't hold your breath. SE are notoriously good at sweeping issues like this under their very large carpet and ignoring everyone.

The fact this bug has carried across to the W960 just shows how utterly incompetent SE really are.

I thought the concensus was that it's a hardware fault!?
