Phone lover, 08 Nov 2008Someone got paid to write a positive review for Samsung ang... moreThats true. These days gsmarena shows favor towards samsung. Half of the reviews done on the samsung phones dont have the audio quality test or camera samples due to 'faulty mishaps', yet gsmarena always assure that they excel in those terms (which isnt always true).
Even when a samsung has bad battery life, they shall say something like 'we didnt spend enough time with it to really judge the battery'.
I just read the n85 review and they said one of the disadvantages was the unconvincing camera because it wasnt as good as n95. Yet at the camera section, they say the photos are still good. No phone has been able to beat n95 in the 5mp camera. Just because n85 isnt as good doesnt mean its a disadvantage.
Gsmarena was just looking for reasons to discredit it because it wasnt a samsung product.

Phone lover, 08 Nov 2008Someone got paid to write a positive review for Samsung ang... moreOh yea. Like they USED TO get paid from Nokia and SE for the same?
It's ridiculous to think of it that way. There are better things to do.

I believe in depends on firmware installed in every phone which varies in every continent.My viewty deliberately exceed my expectation and maybe you have purchased your viewty on a black market.

I'm an ex-Viewty user myself and totally agree with your assessment. The Renoir is eons ahead of the Viewty.

Dont forget the importance of the camera lens cover!
You dont want any oil, finger prints, dust or scratches on your expensive camera phone...

It has slow image browsing.... When you have alot of pictures in your phone, it takes up to 5 seconds to flip to the next picture.
Bad file management. The file viewer cannot understand folders you create in your memory card, and your computer cannot access folders you make in your viewty. Its really complicated, and un-organized.
Bad customer service... Hackers online found out very early on that the Viewty camera was capable of taking much better pictures (using the Hidden menu function). But LG never bothered to release any new firmwares, or updates for its phones. They just make it, and move on to the next one.
Don't get me wrong! Viewty still did everything it promised. But nothing extra was realized once you start using the phone. Only more and more disappointment as time went on. My Viewty actually stopped being able to make calls 6 months in. Totally unprovoked.
Point of this late viewty review is that, if Renoir is anything like its predecessor (viewty) then its doomed to be a gimmick phone.

GSMArena should've mentioned that INNOV8's recorded video, despite the fact it records superb videos, the audio coding on the contrary is only AMR 12kbps Mono.
superb video, lame sound.

Dian Nao, 07 Nov 2008Good for u, but not for us. The choice are clear now. If... moreDesign is a matter of taste.. SE always has distinctive design. User interface is very user friendly and it has newer version since K850. SE also update firmware version regulary that we can update thru their website so there is a chance to have better camera driver. SE price vs features is very competitive. Website support and service center is one important factor to buy a phone.

Your comparism sucks, for you the dark blue sky is normaly then light blue sky. BTW i agree with opinions of SE Guys. their page is the best and they always give a full suport for your fon and they always give a new firmwares in time. Just you hate too much SE thats cause you give them so low rating :). Sory on badly English. Maybe samsung pay you for this review :D lol

A very thorough comparison, although coverage on the KC780 as well would have made it even better.
Personally I don't like the SE brand but it's looking pretty good.

boyboy, 07 Nov 2008In my country C905 price about US$522, INNOV8 about US$690,... moreGood for u, but not for us.
The choice are clear now. If u want smartphone go for Samsung INNOV8. If u want touchscreen go to LG Renoir.
So many years I'm used SE. Now, C905 are out from competition. The design are outdated and the user interface are boring, not change for many years.
