  • I have the K810 and I'm very pleased with it's camera. I've taken some nice photos with it.

    Can't comment on the other phones I'm afraid, so I'm not in a position to compare.

  • I have a Sony Ericsson K750i and I'm pleased with the photos. My digital camera is also Sony and takes fabulous pics.
  • many thanks, have decided to go with the sony one - now to find a good deal!

    I have a k610i and the picture quality is good (2million pixels) but the battery life is dismal if you actually use the phones functions.

    My daughter has a d900 and the picture quality is brilliant even when using the video function.

    Both are very good phones but as you said the battery life is not very good, I'd just toss a coin because either would be a good choice.:confused:
  • I will sugget to buy only sony ericsson phones for camera and music features. Its camera quality may better than samsung. If you want to buy a camera phone you can choose one of these Sony Ericsson K510i,Sony Ericsson K610i, Sony Ericsson K750i or Sony Ericsson K800i

    Well D900 is more expensive and it's 3.2mp so can't really compare the two.

    Anyhow, if you are looking for a music phone SE is definitley that way to go! They also do brill cameras (it's sony remember! they make cameras.....), however you will get bored of it within a day.

    Samsung is purely for style, not as good as SE but still quite good.

    And if you want an all singing dancing phone (like I have ;) ) then Nokia is your best bet, their cameras are not as good as SE (very close though), but the thing is they are good all round, not just for music or cameras etc. (not surprising they are the best is it?)

    hi i've had my k800i for nearly 12 months now its brill at taking pictures but not really that great with video's as it only lasts for about 30 seconds other than that its been a brilliant phone the plastic over the buttons does tend to peel off through texting thats the only other fault i can think i've had with it!
