I think this phone is great but i also think SE should concentrate on minor things(lens cover, USB port,memory card). it is not necesarry to have 5mp camera. But price is very reasonable.
I hope SE will consider these things while making new cell phones.

I think the device looks very good and good specs also. But I will wait for the Hazel to get a larger screen.

Oh no, joystick is a nightmare for some users like me.
I have it replaced twice at the customer service centre... since it is a mechanical thing, thus making it get easily broken.

Oh, and as for the browser, i'm actually posting this with c702 over opera mini 5. It's way better than native net front 3.4, although it seems that the new 3.5 version that comes with new feature SE's can support full flash(!?). Anyway, i'm perfectly satisfied with opera mini, you really cannot ask for more for browsing on this kind of device.
Nice talking to you

I miss it on my c702, though with A200 OS you get much better player and multimedia interface. And you can fast forward and back with the d pad without looking, and much more easily than with joystick. What's more, i dont think there's that kind of button on any manufacturer's new phones. So i guess a simple additional button is really asking too much, these days.
Some things really defy logic.

A joystick that WORKS it's much better than a d-pad, the key word here is WORKS. In the 4 years time I've had the K750 I've blown the joystick with compressed air a few times and it still works like a charm, but the pressure from the compressed air made some dust reach the screen :( oh well, you can't have it all

One thing is missing and it is really important to me, the music button on the side. Not only does it start mp3's or radio, which ever was used last, but it works with the keys locked, this means you do not have to take it out of your pocket to turn it on/off

I had only one issue with k750, with its joystick. And c702 has all that you ask, plus it's dust and splash resistant. And the audio output is great, noticeably better than that of K750. And it works like a charm for a year now. Maybe it's keypad is a bit hard and stiff but i can live with it.

I've used my phone for 2 and a half years... I've only used the headphones for maybe 3 months.
Not everybody need to listen to music on their cellphone. Considering this is not aimed towards ipod buying crowds.... I would think that the lack of 3.5mm isn't a deal breaker.
This package is solid for 200$

I'm looking for a replacement for my beloved K750 for a while now. What happened to the K line. All were great phones, even the cheap ones. I really do not understand SE. Why did they drop the audio button on the side?? Why did they drop the dual led??? Why no active camera cover? What's the use of a good camera if the lens is scratched???? These 3 things are all that's missing from this ELM. And about the price... it costs more than nokia's C5 that has a worse camera and no wifi but it is a smartphone and has free ovimaps that do not require downloading when in roaming. All I'm asking for is a revamped K750 with a 2.2 inch screen, 3g, gps and a good browser. Is that really asking to much?

Honestly, I hate the display of C901. "Superb clarity and contrast". Really? Are we talking the same display here? The yellow is too much for my taste. Blue colors are washed out. I would trade it for the screen of C510 without second thoughts. This time, GSMArena let me down.

I like this. It seems that the lower end phones are nowadays being released with amazing build quality.
