LG renoir - sell it to me!

[knip]

Still not sure, and I havent agreed to anything yet, but would be grateful to hear from anyone who has one of these about its good and bad points.

Currently have my lovely n82, which is fab, but is slowly dying.
I need a phone that I can use the net on easily and quickly, with a good camera (my n82 takes fab pics) and pretty much everything my n82 has.
Ive not had an LG before though so dont know much about them as a brand.

I can get this for free on an upgrade, really wanted the LG arena, but it looks like o2 wont be stocking it.

Should I or shouldnt I? Really dont want an iphone, and am not sure what else to look at.

I have the Renoir and really like it!

I found a website that has a guy that has customised the renoir's firmware and has made the phone faster and better.

Pictures - They are pretty good although with night pics the flash can make pictures too white but just changing the ISO in the settings helps that.

Also there is a new Renoir coming out (like the n95) it is a new revision of the phone. I can't remember what the difference will be but I know it is called the KC910i.

Good points

• Good picture quality
• Easy to use
• Rarely slows down when other things are open

Bad Points

• The web browsing can be a bit of a pain (get opera mini to sort this)
• can be a bit "fiddly" when text using qwerty keyboard on phone
• loading pictures in gallery can be slow (fixed by using this custom firmware)
• Not any motion ui games

I have an N95 aswell that I don't use, let me know if you want pics taken from both phones uploading

Do you have that website address on hand? I have a mate who would be interested in downloading that firmware for his Renoir.
