    C2- tough build, usual nokia standard.No shutter key
    Cedar- tough build, rare for a sony. Dropped atleast 260+ times (lost count) and still no problem.No shutter key.

            Some questions on the Nokia C2-01 (for thouse who have the phone):

            - If some call is lost, does the screen/keyboard blinks (the light is switched on for short time periodically)?

            - When using the phone, can I set the time for the light to switch off, for example to 1 minute, or to 2 minutes (for example, when reading a long sms)? I am tired of heaving to press a key every 10 seconds to be able to keep reading.

            - If I plug the usb cable in, does the phone ask me if I want to charge, or is the charging mandatory? I hate being forced to recharge everytime I plug the cable in.

            - Does it come with any theme with black backgrounds? White/clear backgrounds burn your eyes in the long term.

            - Does it have spy-software (rootkit) like CarrierIQ? See http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2011/11/secret-software-logging-video/
