these phones any good?
currently have an N95 but i'm due an upgrade, so i don't really care about the battery life, just whether it's easy to use.
was going to go for the LG renoir but it's touchscreen and it won't be easy enough for me to use while working.
thanks

I personally can't stand Sony Ericssons. The O/S seems far too 'animated' which just slows everything down.

Spot on Deano, plus I think they over-complicate the menu's a lot as well. Give me a Nokia any day of the week.

Id never get one on a reliability factor.
They are awesome phones when working, no doubt about it.
But mine has lasted 3 months (black), gf is on her 4th in 3 months (bronze), store manager at work has had to send his off for repair (bronze) and his sons (bronze).
Gay gay gay.
Oh, the generic problems with them are - keypad scratched to fuck by sliding it up and down normally  buttons on the navigation square stop working/become stiff, the keypad stops working, speaker stops working - but loudspeaker is fine and the red light on the side flashes (happened to mine but no-one knows what it is actually for   )

Working in a phone shop all day long i can highly recommend the C905, its a really nice looking phone! The X1 just looks too complicated to use, and will probably have issues running the software, just like the omnia!
never had any customers come back in with the c905, apart from one and they got the buttons covered in sticky crap and they stopped working!
but personally i love it!

All the same reasons I sent 3 back.... I've got the LG renoir and considering there both 8mp Cameras the LGs cam is crap, flash is far too bright and the pic isnt that clear, I just wish the C905 wasnt full of problems and I'd have one back in a flash...

What do you think of the Nokia 6220? I know it's not that fancy but it's the new version of my 6120 which is falling apart and my contract is up next month

manged to get a c905, camera quality is awesome, as is the flash  much superior to my old n95's and i thought that was good.
what type of memory cards do they take? i tried to put my micro sd card in that was in the n95 and it didn't fit
