Yep; to each their own.

The W910i is awesome. It's got 9/10 from real user reviews at GadgetStylist.com

However it's more about the music than the camera.
The K770i has a decent 3.2 camera but is much smaller than the K850i - none of those fiddly touch buttons either!

found some interesting comments on the viewty:
PROS
I love the touchscreen interface - so far the novelty hasn't worn off. The haptic feedback (vibration) when you push a key is brilliant
The video recording is fantastic - very very good quality.
Video Playback (DivX) is a great addition.
Fits nicely in my pocket and looks very cool
CONS
The camera is rubbish in anything other than excellent outdoor lighting. I was buying this as a 5mp camera phone and while outdoor shots can be very good, anything in low light is poor. My k800i 3.2MP camera performed much better in almost all circumstances
Some functionality is very unintuitive. For example half the menus allow the touch screen scrolling (where you drag your figure up or down the screen to scroll down or up through the menu respectively) and some do not.
e.g. when you are browsing artists in you music you can touch screen scroll but once you go into an artist to see the songs you can't. then you either have to tap the bar on the right to go up or down (as you would on a computer screen) or use the fiddly jog wheel at the back.
It just is not consistent
Although there is functional support for > 2gb cards, it is not fully supported (see other threads). I have an 8gb card and it works with music and videos but is a delay in accessing the data.
e.g. if I go into my music folder it takes between 10-20 secs to access the folder. Once I am in it is fine but it is a bit annoying every time to wait.
Processing power on the phone seems to be relatively weak. There can sometimes be lag between pressing an icon and it actually registering a response. It is nowhere near as smooth as e.g. an iphone although those two phones cannot be compared fairly.
Limits on the phone are rubbish. e.g. 300 text messages including Inbox AND sent messages. and thats actual messages so if you sent a text that uses 2 SMSs then it will take up 2 of your phone allowance. Also only 5 memos are available.
There is a severe lack of themes and the only way to get around this is to use the hacking measures as described on this site but at this point in time I'm personally not confident enough to try it.
There seems to be no way to scroll through photos full screen without the zoom and left+right options staying on the screen. You would have thought that being a touchscreen phone you could view the photos on the beautiful 3 inch screen and flick through them with your finger
Firmware updates that could fix some of these problems seem very unlikely as LG seem to have no interest in supporting the consumer after the product is sold.

@Platgatan You say you "had" the n82 ?!?! Surely you ment - you "had" checked it on the net
Is fine to lie now and then, as long as you don't begin to believe what you say

Get yourself a
T650i or a K810i even though they are a bit "old".

i found a way to get better pics with my k800i without spending loads of money on a new phone my homemade camdriver easily produces better colour & perfect exposure time and didn't cost me a penny.
Wondering what Homemade Cam drivers will do to the K850i when modding comes around. Same with sound drivers. 1.5yrs passes and everyone forgets the months of anguish that the K800 add in the official thread here. Then SE got things sorted, same with the XS++ team and modding goes buck wilde!
Personally I like my new K850i - even though its branded in the firmware its very stable. Pics are blurry but I know its due to 2 things. I'm holding it wrong due to habit; and from what i've learned on the W810 & K790a, after the first 40/50 pictures or so then its better.
So the K850i is not a crowd pleaser, and I'm sure i'll have my issues with it later on. But we ALL get that way with EVERY phone eventually. We all upgrade don't we?!?

being contented in a kind of phone that is functioning well is the best answer.
remember were in the world of change. not bad if you want to buy those things. but when your talking bout the "happiness" of having it, well, go for the one that suits you well.
at present I have my
k750i (even though i flash it now to
W800) and i have it almost 2 years and yet still working fine.
