AnonD-13154, 14 Dec 2011I suppose, you posting that in my other phone's forum was t... moreWho want your attention! What you think about yourselt? VIP? anyway i posted my opinion for helping others. i posted both advantages and disadvantages. Those will help people to make their right choice before buy. Because every people need is different.

Answer of ur point
1. It is hard true that Cedar dnt have Security Keypad lock option. All basic nokia phone have this option. Samsung java phone gives more protection,like folder lock,sms inbox lock.

2. It connects with all Brand phone but unable to connect almost every china phone. I tested myself. It can only receive file from china device. Unable to send.

3. Battery is good when u put your display brightness bellow 60% and switch of 3G. Otherwise Battery lose its charge very quickly. And its need several charge cycle for a new Battery to complete. After buying so many new Cedarian complain about it.

4. Cedar complete patching is not possible because cedar is RED CID81. So no FM Recording will exist.

5. Same as 4

6. All nokia s40 can do it. i think u didnt understand my point.

7. well i just said that ist audio quality is good but not awesome. It dont have any dedicated audio chip. Some same price phone can produce better quality audio like old noke 5130

8. Using acoustic makes it only average from bellow average.

9. You want to say EDGE class 32 and class 10 are same??! Class 32 maximum download speed 296 kbps while class 10 speed 236kbps. Google it bu typing 'Difference between EDGE class 10 and 32' Hope will get a clear idea which one is better.

10. Plenty of device available in this price range provide dedicated Camera key or Music key or Both. Including your beloved X2.

Finally: this place is not for debate. dnt interested to argue with u anymore. If u love Cedar thn come Cedar forum regularly and help newbies. Stop convince people in X2 forum

              Cedar Users, 14 Dec 2011There is no front camera so video chatting is not possible.Do you really own cedar?
              Or have'nt you heard of many smartphones and flagships?

              Cedar supports video call through back camera. I've done it number of times with n8, xperia mini, corby pro, 6700slide, naite, galaxy ace,... Etc.

                Cedar Users, 13 Dec 2011I cant understand what are you talking about.I suppose, you posting that in my other phone's forum was to get my attention.
                Anyways, i'm more than happy to make your points clearer.

                1. It doesnt have a code to unlock feature.. No secure keypad lock.

                2. Not all china phones, It connects well with many phones, esp. Few fly and lava phones.

                3. Battery backup is not good?
                Its excellent. I stay online in facebook for more than 30+ hours continously and there is no other phone i've seen to do that. Also while watching even 150min movies, the charge drop to just 80-75% from 95 where as most other counterparts drop to 60 and 50's left , whereas my x2 drops into 30%-35% left.
                Every phone drops its charge considerably in 3g mode and you must know it.
                Still cedar stays alive for 13+ hours even with 3.5G internet.

                4. No fm recording.
                Just yet atleast, can be worked upon by future patches or mods

                5. Low quality amr. Same as above conclusion

                6. No other java phone can do that, atleast I knew of. And comparatively, cedar got a long call log.

                7. Excuse me. Iphone, wave2, zylo and c6-01 ?
                Really relieved you didnt include iphone4s, arc, galaxys2, optimus 2x, rhyme,n9 .etc
                Talk sane please, for this price, cedar got one of the best audio quality.

                8. Loudspeaker perf is below average and the geeks at s.e say thats coz its green heart.unbelievable.
                Anywaxs using loud packs like yendo's acoustics, anshuman v2,etc.. its boosted into 66decibels from the faint 61. You should clean your ears once a while if you didnt notice any considerable boost.

                9. Apart from such class differences my x2 and cedar and one of my buddies corby pro gives same 2g download speeds when tested using same sims of docomo, airtel, bsnl and idea. I dont know how, but thats what u.c browser says.

                10. D pad is hard, but dont say any samsun or nokia got any advantage over this. As price lower both these guys make all the keys too hard, atleast s.e made only the d-pad harder.
                Cedar mi8 not have a music key or shutter key. But once playing music, the vol keys double as next-prev keys which is great. There is no one elsd with such a convenient novelty.

                                        Instead of buying s.e Elm just take a look on S.e X10 mini pro or S.e Xperia X8.. Here in philippines,s.e elm costs around 6,990 Peso. .while S.e X8 cost 7,600 Peso.. So I would rather choose X8 android than elm..
