I was all set for the C905 until Yesterday and LG brought there KC910 out.

This will be the first year I have wandered to look at another manufacture since having a t68i

The problem is, The c905 doesnt excite me, yes its got a few more features. but thats it. All the menus will be the same with just a few additions. I'm sort of not a slide phone person and prefer the candy bar shape.

SE seem to br brining things out and placeing them in a new wrapper, thats it.

Sorry to say this, but at present SE have lost the plot

Yea, I fee the same way. It will be strange going to someone else after being with SE for so many years but I think my K850 will be the last. LG's 910 has pretty much all the feature I need (or want!) and does look good. I was tempted by the 905 - but the QVGA video is to much of joke these days for me to consider that phone.

I thought the same after the problems with my K850i. (Taken back after 3 days).
I went for the Viewty, but if you've never tried an LG, you'll be in for a shock. It was such a poor phone. It wouldn't connect to my computer for love nor money. There is NO file management at all. You can't put things where you like, or even arrange them by name. The phone just put them where it likes. The camera really wasn't that good. Playback facility on the camera pulled in every media file on the phone and not what you've only just taken. And seen as it displays them as large thumbnails, it slowed everything down to a crawl.
By far the worst was the media player, which took 45 SECONDS to load my files, every time I changed a menu. So if you switched between Albums, Artists etc, you had this huge wait before it did anything. Really pathetic to be honest.
I know seems boring, but at least the menu system works and management is excellent. There is a lot to be said for it.
But also, don't be too harsh on the phones for being similar. It's only what Nokia does as well. Just look at the N85 and N96 etc. The only reason it looks so bad is that don't have the advanced facilities to recycle, just more basic ones.

Thats so true. I have 50 java games to give away on my phone but no-one who has a Samung phone can get them working.

Plus, its the little things, like when you receive a file by BT on an SE phone you get the option to use / view the file straight away.

BT a file to a Samsung phone, I think it was a D600? and you have to go into the FS to retrieve it. Its little things like this that make SE's such a breeze to use.

yea I really thought that exact same phrase when I first got a se. the only bad thing is all my games lag the games folder sooo much. I have around 150 themes and my themes folder doesnt lag but the games folder lags soo much is there anyway to stop it lagging

It's all these simple things that make 's so easy to use. And that ease of use is one of the most important things in a handset for me.
I much prefer to lose a few features, in order to have a handset that is straight forward and does things efficiently, without me having to search for files, or not have control over my folders etc.
Basically, with an , everything is where you expect to be. That's why I love 'em.

Bluetooth Remote Control can be used for controlling Media on a PC, skip tracks etc. (But seriously, who ever uses it anyway?) The SIM menu on Vodafone links almost exclusively to Entertainment content.
But these small things aside, I still think has the best UI layout of any Manufacturer. It isn't the most powerful (which is why your games lag. A large amount of actual applications, rather than just files, in one folder will slow it down without question), and you can't add applications like with S60, but it does the job it's designed to do better than the rest I think.

Well that's certainly something for me to consider. It was like that on the K850 when I first got it and used an 8Gb card. That was enough for me to think about getting rid of it but luckily SE fixed it on thye nxt FW. I use my phone a lot for music, & pictures and general stuff (other than calls) which the K850 if good at. Didn't like it at all when I first got it (as felt like a stopgap) but has grown on me. Will wait for the first comprehensive reviews of that sort of phone to come before making a final descsion.
