sexygal, 18 Dec 2009thanks blink1..how about the painting of the color?.is it t... morethe paint being easily faded is a lie (well for me).
the paint on my C901 is 100% complete.
the only downside in C901 is that the plastic body easily gets hairline scratches, even from my fingernails :/
so be sure to buy silicon case or leather case upon buying it.

      Had my C901 every since its release. My previous was the K800 which was also excellent. The only problems I have with the C901 (which were not experienced in the K800) are basically two. The first is that sometimes if I go in an underground parking where there is no signal and then come up again, the signal will remain dead. I try a new search for networks with no success. The only way is to switch the phone off and then on again in order to get the signal back. This started happening only last month (and sometimes only). The other problem is the camera image stability is not as good as the K800.

            --------

            my phone is NOT the greenheart version...100% sure
            and btw , my opinion regarding the painting quality for my last 3 SE-mobiles ... they are all sooo cheaply painted , as they last only for couple of weeks before the phone looks so miserable , and the original phone-covers are extremely expensive (3 or 4 times more than Nokias) (e.g my old w910i covers cost 150 dollars)

            however , this mobile is among the Best of the best made by SE (surly excluding the Xperia series) for users who wants to get almost alot of multimedia in one thing ... a mobile with very stable software , fast and reliable , nice music player , very nice camera ,good battery for mid-users , internet and good 3G connectivity....

                  Had mine for 1+ month in black - paint is fine.
                  I do recomend a good screen protector ..

                  PS: Its 4 in 1,
                  A digital camera, a phone, media player, and email device.

                  The email facility is very very good on the C901 ... assuming you have data included in your tariff.

                      C901 has no lag at all (based on my experience. and im only using 2GB M2 card. so i dunno if 4gb-8gb M2 card will affect the speed of the phone's interface.)
                      buy C901. you will be satisfied. it's like your carrying 3 devices in one. a digital camera, a phone, and a media player.
                      btw, call quality is great in c901 compared to G900 specially in HSDPA. the speaker is very loud!! (well i modded my C901's speakers via Esato website so i made the speaker 2x louder.)

                        @gov
                        no other build quality issue than the hairline-scratch.
                        the paint being peeled off easily is a LIE. i've been using C901 for 3 months now and no paint has peeled-off yet 100%.

                        @Jeve
                        there is no "LIGHT" feature built-in in the C901.

                        Btw, as i have experienced, there is NO image stabilizer in C901. only video stabilizer.

                          Image stabilization on these phones is usually digital so its of not much use... Optical stabilization is what is important

I have only had my c901 for about 3 weeks and have not taken very many photos yet, but what I have taken so far does not have any problems with shake or blur.
