Does any one here think overall the c902 is not a very good phone??
My problems are
-Texting- Phones are meant for texting so why are the buttons so poor, when you type a text the buttons hardly go down which makes speed typing impossible
-Screen is too small, some may find this okay but after coming from a w910 its a real pain
-Poor camera-All the pics posted here from c902 all look great, but you will have chosen the right settings (focus etc). For normal point and shoot the shots are very poor. The pics might look good if i took forever choosing the right settings for the right weather conditions etc. By then the moments gone, so not impressed.
-Pics look bad on screen- When you take a pic the shots on the screen look slightly blurry, but when you zoom in slightly the pic looks sharper and clearer.
-Materials used- The back cover (while looking nice) is not very pratical as it is slippy and you can loose grip, which i a real bummer, i was looking forward to trying out some of the new motion games (bowling etc), but that seems unikely as i will probs throw the phone across the room.
Rant over, on the pluses the blue light when you turn on the camera looks nice and the phone looks nice as well, and the touch buttons look nice (rather have larger screen).
Do you have these problems?? (have latest firmware)
Do you think the K850 would be a suitable option?

Well I went from a k810 to a c905.
The k810 is a very very good phone but it is dated now, the whole thing is solid, the buttons etc. The k850 is just a step up from this but afaik the screen is the same size as the c902. I've never so many complaints about the c902. Maybe you need to look for a different manufacturer if you want more. LG is not so bad. Or if you can afford it then the G1.
Tbh it sounds like you want a c905, maybe you need to start screwing for a contract that gives you one.

just re-looking at the c902 (I almost got fobbed off with one by orange a couple of months ago).. it's a lovely phone
you should be happy
it's blatantly gonna be better than any other option at that range

i did not experienced any of the problems you mentioned....
- (your statement strange) i think it's perfect for texting.... (not as good as my P990 of course....
)
- you are right about the screen size
- i don't agree with you about the camera..... after 3 months of usage i think it has a GREAT and FANTASTIC camera.......... ( i must say that i use my own modded camdriver..... i am still testing it to increase the flash power and adding a custom night mode with focus (aka night portrait) instead of the document mode... will share it when all tests are done.... i love the results it produces.). and i shoot on auto in 95% of the shots.... live and vibrant shining colors and details.
- it's not too blurry but it's inevitable... for fast browsing the pictures; it should create that thumbnail.
- the materials... are you kidding?? ... i think the materials and design are the best part of this phone... love the feeling of metal finish... (but i must say that the things printed on the metal will wear off such as the Cyber-Shot logo on the back of the phone)
- no i don't have these problems (also on the latest firmware)
- i had the K850 for a couple of weeks... texting with it is not difficult but... but it's far more harder than the C902 (because of the d-pad being between the keypad)...

Go for the K850i, takes amazing shots without editing the settings, screen is the same size as the W910i so good for you, texting is easy as the buttons are far apart - you can even text during class with the phone in your back it's that easy, texting without looking. (Although you shouldn't
) Um, the screen is a good brightness and displays the pictures well. Lastly you want grip, um...well you'd get better grip then with the C902 as the size is bigger, but this is not a disadvantage - the bigger style of phone means it is more ergonomically correct and fits comfortably in your hand. You might find the smooth finish annoying, but I don't really have a problem - It's never fallen out of my hand like soap, so alls good.
Lastly most of the problems are gone, some still persist but still name me a phone witch is bug free? Just update it to the latest firmware and you'll be fine (although I am still on the very first firmware version lol never had time to update...)
K850i = Go for it, I recommend it 100%
100 times better then the C902 Plus does having a phone with the original Kyber shot 'K' series not sound better then 'C'?

Why anybody would buy a 'w' SE phone is beyond me. You want a camera right? Either get used to the c902 or get a k850.
Or you could get an 120fps (@ 320 × 240) LG Viewty for good video recording and widescreen divX playback.
