As the title says, I need your advice! I have a Sony Ericsson K800i, and I'm really bored with it, I mean really, especially by the camera, no matter which camera driver you put you won't get rid off the stupid water color/oil painting effect. Since I'm mostly using my dedicated digital camera 98% of the time, I don't care about K800i anymore. Unfortunately I'm not a 3in1 (using my phone as a camera, mp3 player and phone) user anymore, I was before when I had K750i and i-mobile-902, but not with K800i. Now I use my phone as an mp3 player and a phone. That might change if i buy a phone with a decent camera, for example, K770i or T650i. Then I would know that I can snap some shots with my phone too, since these phones don't suffer from the strong noise reduction and horrible water color/oil painting effect.

I'm planing to buy the new C905 if it proves to be good, but in 6 or 7 months time. In the mean time I was thinking of buying K770i or T650i. Recently I got an offer to buy a cheap great condition white W900i! That's where my troubles begin. I'm not sure if it's a good idea since W900i is a 3 years old phone. Coming from K750i than moving to i-mobile 902, I really like the speed of the menus in K800i. Now I don't know if I could get used to the speed of the W900i. People who have used it, please write your experiences.

One more question, I still have my MXE-60 external xenon flash, I'm not sure if it's going to work with W900i, due to the construction of the phone? Anyone tried?

So please help me decide, K770i/T650i or W900i?

W902 might be worth a wait? If we gain access to Cam driver modding too it will be great! 5mp is fine. 8 is overkill really. Unless you want the Wifi and GPS of the C905 and dont mind the size...

MXE-60 will work fine with W900 since it's got the same platform as W810. as far as i know W900 is still unbeatable when it comes to gaming. since you have your digicam and given your options above better invest for a phone which gives you a balanced user experience(both design and multimedia). the T650 it looks awesome(at least to me) and has very good build quality

I just hope there will be an MXE-65/70-or-whatever-name-it-wil-be for other camera phones without xenon flash. SE, you concentrated too much on portable speakers it's now time you should give us new MXE!!!

@JiSM - I'm waiting for the device that will replace my digital camera and music player and be a phone at the same time. That's why I'm planing to buy C905 later, I still think that i8510 INNOV8's noise reduction is better than the one used by C905. I would never buy i8510 INNOV8 since it's symbian and it doesn't have a real xenon flash, meaning it will never be able to replace dedicated digital camera completely. W902 looks great, but the absence of Xenon flash and camera cover makes it repulsive to me.

@razec - I know, T650i is a great phone, I was 100% sure that I'm going to buy K770i or T650i, until I was offered W900i. I also think that it's high time for SE to make a new MXE, they've removed the old one from the accessories site.
