O.P. Cant decide what phone upgrade to get
Well my upgrade it due and im torn between the Samsung F490, the Sony Ericsson K850i and the Nokia N95 8GB. Ive heard the best camera of the 3 is the k850i, but i was wondering what you guys thought. Im also open to any other suggestions, my only spec that i have to have is a 5MP camera:)

k850i.

I have it (had it for 3 weeks) and i love it.

The N95 Takes up to 5 seconds to take 1 picture & the review on the gadget show was not very good.
No longer here.

comparison of the 5MP cameras between Sony Ericsson K850i and Samsung G600 (in dutch):

first two photos = without flash
second two = with flash
third two = colors
fourth set =  in the dark

quote:
Samsung G600 makes clearly better photos in the dark, but the colors of the Sony Ericsson K850i seems to be a bit more fresh.

I would say K850i. I think Sony Ericsson mobile phones have better quality. They have a good camera and big space for saving MP3s and other stuff.

I wouldnt even think about Sony. Go Buy N95 8gb. Much Much Better. Nokia is so advanced and high tech in everything they do such as pc suite's firmware upgrades as well as the phone's design and everything. N95 is the best although N96 will be coming up just to let you know.  The camera quality for N95 is perfect not sure about sony tho but with N95 you just dont get just camera...WiFi, GPS, The movement sensor ( accelration ) Youtube N95 8gb and take a look how awesome it is ;) Like the functions. I would say Nokia for ever ;)

We dont need fan-boyism like posts :)

And Sony Ericson phones look great often on paper, and function preety good MOST of the time. But they have a tendency to freeze and crash alot. Its a bit of a nucience. Used to have a Sony Ericson .... T80i i think it was. It was a cheap mobile, but it was so frusterating to use i smashed it and bought a new one (Damn phones are durable :)) i got the Samsung C300. Basic phone yet again, but it was fast on its feet, small and had decent T9. So it was the perfect phone for me :)

If your really wanting a good phone, and willing to spend quite a bit, wait a little bit and get the HTC Diamond :) Its a good phone.

I would wait at the moment. Most of the top end phones are about to be replaced (at least I know this for Nokia and SE).

The N96 is going to replace the N95 and will have DVB-T [Freeview] TV, whereas SE have finally learned to spell and are replacing the K850i with the C902i [Although, it doesn't seem like much of an upgrade - the camera is still 5MP - but if it comes out in any colour other than Red it'd look pretty neat].

My dad has a Samsung, I've never really liked them all that much. Also the F490 is pretty much just a major rip-off of the LG Viewty. :)
I have seen the N95, and it's quite bulky but then it does have a lot of features under the hood.
I've got a K850i, they seem to have fixed the problem with the buttons sticking or whatever (although this problem never happened to me with my previous SE phones), but the firmware for them is still slightly buggy.
