Advice needed?

[Catwoman]

Looking for new phone that will combine with a decent camera so I dont have to take both with me. Favour the Nokia and its features..any suggestions??

Nokia N95 (either the black or the origional) Sony Ericsson K850I or the Samsung G600. All 3 have 5 MP Cameras and are decent phones. Personally I would go with the SE 850I as it is a Cybershot and not as bulky as the N95. Samsung is also really good but I have found that the battery drains on them pretty quickly.

Thanks for that...I just find the SE menu a little off putting...but I take your point on the cyber shot facility

The k770 is a neat little phone, 3.2mp camera with carl zeiss lensing, at a similar size you've also got the 6500 (in any of the packages), which has basically the same camera, but obviously with nokia menus.

Both are nearly identical in size, with very similar screen sizes and metal casings, comes down to what colour/form factor you like the best i suppose.

The SE 770I and the Nokia 6500 both only have 2 MP cameras on them. The Nokia N73, Samsung U600, U700 & D900 have 3 MP cameras on them. Most manufacturers stick 2 MP on the phones nowadays as a minimum. They are just starting to up them as of late as it is a good selling point.

I hate to be a pedant, but both the SE and nokia websites disagree with you.

edit: for some reason i cant link the nokia website inline:
Nokia UK - Specifications

Samsung have a new one coming out soon too: G800

Samsung G800 - the G600 but with true zoom and Xenon flash - Pocket-lint.co.uk - gadget news and reviews

Thats the Nokia 6500 Slide, wires crossed with that one as the classic version only has the 2 MP camera on it and thats the one we get in the store.

The K770I, we only have a dummy of it as it is only available online and indirect channels, it has 2 MP camera stamped on the back of it. Could be wrong though as I havn't got my hands on it yet.

SE 960I looks decent if you can hold off till December. 3.2 Camera, 8Gb memory, Symbain based and it has full touch screen as well as keypad.

G800 looks really nice, kind of looks like a cross between the U700 for style and U600 for size.

i hate samsung and lg, they are so bad and some of their os is so slow... stick with nokia if you dont like SE although i am now hooked on my w880i

i just like a compact phone that i can do a lot with, plus the camera is awesome

having owned several of each of motorola, nokia and sony, i would recommend the sony ericsson range based on battery life alone, which is important if you're going to take a lot of pictures!

but hey, that's just my opinion based on my experiences with them!

sony ericsson 100%, always owned nokia's til i got my k800i last year, i love it...not as much as my xda orbit tho
