If you want a phone with a really good camera and won't crash (as much) go for the SE.


Missus has one. I have an N95 8gb and prefer using that to the 905 so I would probably have an N96 but the camera on the 905 really is very good for a phone. It even has a proper flash.

Then again if I was to do it all over again I would have just paid the money and got an Iphone. I don't really need a good camera on my phone but some do.

Well i have a C905, and it is by far the best phone I've ever had (and i try to keep up with the latest phones as much as possible)

It just does everything so much better than any phone i have used, and the camera is great - takes brilliant photos at night too.

However mine is currently in for repair as there is a common problem of the earpiece speaker dying, and thats what mine has done - this apparently has only affected the first few batches though.

I got no experience of the nokia, so no help there im afraid lol.

Honest answer; neither.

I've had terrible reliability problems with SE in the past, and am very unimpressed by the N95 8GB I have at the moment.

My girlfriends C905 had to go in for warranty repairs after a few months, the earpiece speaker stopped working, would randomly work if you put pressure on a certain point of the handset - google showed this is a worryingly common problem lol...

Im sure I read that later batches have a fix though, and other than that it's not bad at all, GPS inc. GPS tagging on photos you take, very good camera, we've got rid of our old Nikon compact for quick shots now, using that instead.

I've just got an N85 as I didn't really fancy the 96 due to the poorer battery life.

The N85 is brillaint. Nearly identical to the N96 but it has a few minor things which make it better for me.
