N95 / C902 / Viewty

I'm switching from the N95 8GB to the c902 titanium, my handset has broken 3 times since February so O2 are sending me out a different handset. The battery life on the N95 was a real killer for me, I didn't make avail of the apps avail for s60 so it was a logical choice to go back to Sony.

I just bought this phone and am finding it weird as well for this very reason.
I set 4 alarms to go off for different days of the week and even though they're "on", they don't repeat themselves when they should if that makes any sense. For example, I've had to switch off, and then on again tomorrow's alarm for it to pop up as "set". It's such a bizarre problem.
Edit - for the alarm problem it appears that updating the firmware solves the issue.
Other than that - I have found it very easy to use. Takes good photos too.

Well, after much ****ing about, O2 have sent me a replacement phone for my k850i (the touchtone buttons decided to behave eratically) - last Thursday. I made this thread in October. Sigh.
After my original post I waited a week and phoned them back to ask for C902, only to be told it was out of stock and that they only had PINK Samsung G600's. I said I would wait until they had other phones in, phoned back a week later. Many phonecalls, their replacement dept was constantly 'out of stock', kept being offered different phones every time I rang up, accepted a Samsung g600 just to get any old phone as they still couldn't offer me an equivilent phone to my k850i.
(Not only this, but I *believe* I wasn't given instructions/address to actually send my phone back to them. I had to ask about this on my fifth or so phonecall and then got an email through, will have a look in my inbox to confirm.)
Since then I admit I dragged my heels somewhat as I decided not to be without a phone during run up to Christmas and during Christmas itself, but got back onto it in January.
I've had to phone them multiple times, even had to fax them proof of postage (special delivery, a few quid) via my local O2 store as they claimed they hadn't recieved my faulty handset. They've sent me a 1gig N95 as far as I can tell, but they haven't included a memory card.
Also I've heard this phone is very slow and buggy (is this true for ones with O2 firmware? Can anyone confirm?).
So I now have a potentially crap phone, will have to phone O2 back up to ask for memory card, and all this time I've still been paying for contract/insurance. It's been about a month and a half since I eventually sent the phone off. Incurred expenses on phonecalls, etc.
Anything I can do, or should I suck this up? Cheers.

1Gb N95?
I flashed a work mates 02 N95-1 with the latest firmware a month or so back, and the difference in speed and stability is like night and day from the few hours i had it. Almost as quick as the N95-8Gb.
Camera is absolutely shoddy, worse than that in K750i, you literally can't take any pictures inside because of buggy firmware not adjusting shutter speed for flash and thus all pictures are yellow and shaken. GPS is a joke, I live in open area on top of the hill where most generic chipsets get lock in under 1 minute even inside the house. It takes my C702 14 minutes to get a lock in my garden. Bluetooth is hit an miss, pairing often crashes my Tomtom. My trusty Nokia hands free headsets get disconnected every now and then for no reason. Interface is slower than K800 and K750. Sony went backwards with the C series.
But LED torch is back, it's the only reason why I still keep this piece of junk...

if you don't mind price, the omnia and tocco are pretty good aswell, th g1 is decent, and the htc hd is pretty good
The Omnia and HTCs are considerably more expensive though

I realised this, but I suggested them because the op said that he could choose the initial 3 phones regardless of price.
