But im not sure what to get. I currently have a Sony Ericsson K750i which is good, but.. getting a bit old and looks like a brick and only has a 2 mgpxl camera. Now i've been looking around and the main features i want in the phone is a very good camera (quite high end/best) as this would enable me to avoid buying a digital camera for £100-200 as well.

So i saw this, the Sony Ericsson C905, which isn't out yet (Q4 08 apparently) but i don't know what the 'feeling' is about this one, whether it is too much for the price (which i can't actually see) and just generally whether theres better models out there with a good amount of features and a good camera.

I'd be looking to spend £200-400 ($400-800) tho obviously prices in the UK are a lot higher than the US so it's relative. Im not really interested in the Iphone or the N95 thing but i would appreciate any input as to the potential quality of the phone i mentioned or any other viable alternatives.

Thanks very much indeed :)

My phone was $100 man. Works just fine. 400 is alot of money to spend on something like a phone if you ask me.

well it's more like $300-400 in US terms as, relatively, it's a lot cheaper for you. But i just want a phone with a really good camera as i won't need to buy a stand-alone digital camera as well as a decent phone at some point.

Anyone else have any thoughts? The C902 looks quite good, and is out now.. but only 5mgpxl.

Hmm

The phone you pointed out look pretty good man. But if you don't really wanna spend that much on a new phone, go for one of the Samsung phones. I have one and it does wonders!

Thanks guys, no i'm fine with however much the c905 will be.. it's jsut it's not out yet and i was wondering if anyone knew whether it would be pointlessly expensive or your thoughts on it... and any other possible alternatives to that.

if you are a heavy camera phone user then get it..... you are looking more for a camera with a phone rather than a phone with a camera
