Contract is coming up...

..it's about to end and thus I'm hunting around for a new one, and looking at the phones available to me. I've just started reading reviews etc.

Essentially - I don't know what phones to go for. It'll mostly be used just to make calls, send texts. I want it to have a decent camera, the best on a phone if possible.

I have a K850i; and certain ones have come up; Samsung Pixon and G800 (?), SE C905 (apparently liable to break?), C902 (already been down that path = :/) and Nokia's N79 as well.

What else is out there that has a good camera? I'm not really interested in using the internet or even a touch screen.

i8510/N82

Hmm, having a look at the Samsung as I speak - is the N 85 comparable to the N82 in terms of picture quality?

You could hold out for the N86 8MP.

You could hold out for the N86 8MP.

this too. Released tomorrow.

Is that supposed to have quite a good camera? I'm not bothered if it's 5 or 8MP, quality of the pics is important to me. I've been through a C902, K850i, a few Panasonics and a K700i, and the latter has produced the best photos.

K800/810 was the only camera phone I was truly happy with.

C905 camera wise is very good, but they do have reliability issues, if it wasn't for that fact I would've got one myself

Personally if I was mainly interested in the camera aspect I would only go for xenon flash models, absolute godsend in night time shots over the LEDs.

Nokia N82 has a xenon flash and is regarded as a very good camera phone maybe worth a look?

 

[Greenlizard0]

Sorry I meant K800i - and aye I agree. It had a xenon flash didn't it?

 

[IamMed]

It did indeed

 

[Greenlizard0]

Any more suggestions? I'm considering the C901 and LG KC550 phones atm...

I have N82, fantastic Phone build is excellent, dropped it loads and it still goes on working. camera is second to none and you get gps, wifi, mp3 and radio. its mint

 

[Columbo]

If its got LG in front of the title fella avoid it like a dose of ebola.

LG offer absolutely zero support in terms of firmware updates etc...

 

[MagicBoy]

Assuming your not moving networks keep the K850 if you like it, then sell on the upgrade phone?

 

[Greenlizard0]

I am tempted to do that. I might be able to get around £200 for e.g. a Renoir
