KITCH, 11 Jan 2009what a joke K800 doesn't even record QVGA video and pic qu... moreoh come on? so you're thinking im saying all of these without comparing??!!

when i said that k800 is the best camera phone im talking about the camera quality and not video recording! you are so wrong! k800 renders the most natural and live colors compare to n73!

walkman phones set the new standard when it comes to mp3 capabilities and sound quality of cellular phones! do you know what you're talking about?

    Anonymous, 11 Jan 2009WTF???!!! best 8mp= c905 and innov8 best 5mp= ZN5 and n82... morewhat a joke
    K800 doesn't even record QVGA video and pic quality of N73 is a lot better than K800.
    All walkman phones are crap they provide only a good software but that doesn't mean that u r getting better audio quality. All Nokia, Samsung, even LG also used DSP for audio. In ur lifetime at least once check audio quality of N91 and compare it with all sony walkman phone then u know the answer.

        I became a SE fan since i first used the T68. an amazing phone! SE has excellent design, looks youthfull not like nokia's boring and old men designs, plus they combine colours making a great contrast, which other brands use a simple colour, like nokia, black with i am sick and tired of it. show me a phone with colour combinations, an example let's say the intense black w760 with black and yellow. SE is for young and smart people, the rest is for bored people with no purpose in life :). Maybe they are not so well received in Europe, but in Japan they don't even look at Nokia and others, they are way way far from them. Enjoy in Europe while it lasts.

              Old tech, same toy looking phones
              People here are talking about x1 & C905.
              Do u know both are dead, nobody is buying those phones
              C905 is crap if u leave camera. X1 has windows which is crap
              so sony has to think about their next platform windows & uiq is dead they should release s60 phones. They need to revive A200 also.
              I dono understand why some people buy sony err phone there are always better alternative available in the market 4 lesser price.

                      I just don't get it! I have read quite a lot of news here and there that this Sony Ericsson C510 Cybershot is an "affordable" cameraphone. But why the heck is the price not mentioned?!! Please GSMArena, as soon as you gather information about the pricing of the C510, please let us know. We're quite puzzled.
                      How will we know that what's affordable for Sony Ericsson is also affordable for us if the price isn't even mentioned?

                        C905, and X1 has been released October of 2008. Its been all of TWO months since release date. I'm sure glad you're not the one running business around here.

                        Btw, I would expect announcement dates of the C905 & X1 successors no earlier than 1 year later after previous announce dates... so stop asking for 12mps.

                          emo, 10 Jan 2009Are you insane? 12 mp cameraphone!! What you're gona do w... more12MP was just an example. What else can you put on a mobile phone? All I'm asking for is a better camera and a bigger screen. The C905 is beginning to feel outdated already with it's small 2.4" display. Heck, the last time I used such a small display was almost 3 years ago. It's a human trait to want better and faster technology all the time.

                            12 mp cameraphone!!
                            What you're gona do with it? Shoot bilboards??? 8 mp is enough for everyday usage and pictures printed in A4.
                            If you you need 12 mp it is for work, and you need real camera.

                              Another bunch of ultra low-end phones from SE. If anyone from the company is reading this, PLEASE get off your bums and release some nice high end phones. We are already getting bored of the Xperia and C905. Where's the 12MP shooter and the next Xperia?

                                You said: "The Sony Ericsson C510 is Cyber-shot-bred cameraphone that's reasonably thick with big metallic camera lens cover that keeps a low profile but allows the handset to really stand out of the crowd."

                                I think you meant to say: "...that's reasonably thin"

                                  Take note of the word "feature phones"! Until now, you can't still accept that Symbian is a "Smartphone" OS and A200 is just a "feature phone" OS? Think! Think! Think! A200 UI is not at all comparable to Symbian because A200, for truth sake, isn't a Smartphone OS! So better keep your mouth shut you SE fanboy!

                                    they are both, for sure, mid range phones. nothing special. at least they`re expected to be not so much expansive.

                                        the w715 is really a feature loaded phone. GPS wifi accelerometer 2.4" screen walkman 3.0 ....

                                        And the colour combination is beautiful
