the only use of LEDs for me now is as a backup flashlight. otherwise, xenon will allways be the way to go...
apple still thinks that making minor updates to their phones is the way to do bussines, and it looks to be that way, since people don't complain about their lack of Xenon in 2010...

if the phone is too huge and with a xenon flash that will drain the battery instantly(especially for touchscreen phones)

From what I know the main reason is because xenon flashes require (relatively) large capacitors which are extremely difficult to fit in with the trend to make phones slim slim slim. And really that's it. Sucks doesn't it?

I'm thinking of getting another C905 one just for the Xenon and multitude of cam features. LED just doesn't cut it - I can't say I've taken one good indoor pic with my X10 in all the time I've had it.
SE should release another camphone with Xenon. From K800i - to C905, they all were major sellers and it's not as if people are not buying featurephones anymore. Let them bring out a feature phone with 8.0MP and improved optics and I'm sure people will lap it up. Leave out the touch screen (there will always be a market for people requiring a physical keypad), base it on A200, just up the processor and improve the optics.
This craze for thinner and thinner phones won't last for ever - there is only so thin a phone can be they start snapping like twigs.

you are right. i am too waiting for a mobile which would be a successor of K850i(bar type) and c905(slider) and the hardware also should be improved for fast processing.
my wish is to get a mobile which is a combo of
(C905 + Hazel) in 2011 q1.
right now my k850i serves for all lighting conditions except the processor is slow for today's market. so i need a hazel like mobile with xenon flash. hope
will make a note of it.

I've always felt the underrated C901 is the perfect feature phone/camera phone. Wasn't really an SE flagship, and to some it might be considered pretty plain, but it is a solid and well featured phone—and of course a xenon flash! But I suppose a 13mm body is much to fat nowadays!

Having an odd problem with the LED-flash on the X10 Mini this vinter.
Using the flash it creates vapour when it's some -15° C outdoor. The first photo gets ruined by vapor and hence blurring or hide what you want to photo, even a second photo some times get ruined too.
Would a Xenon flash also heating up the air like a LED.
At summertime I'm more often carrying a proper camera with me.
