This phone is really tempting.

One question though, i've read all the post from the first page to this page,
no one seem to mention the camera quality.

i usually use my phone as my primary camera, (i believe that the best camera in the world is the one that is with you when you need it)

I'm currently using nokia x6, yes i know symbian sucks, but x6 camera is quite decent, and i'm satisfied with the picture quality.

i wont want to make the same mistake as i did with my old nokia 5530
i thought all camera with autofocus will produce crips and clear pics,
but apparently this is not true. the nokia 5530 camera sucks, i've seen nokia 5800 pics, it sucks equally bad.
(lots of noise and low detail even in bright condition, low light pics are unusable, color looks washed out)

can owners of ideos x5 compare the camera quality with their previous phones?
as long the camera quality of ideos x5 is similar to nokia x6 or better, that it will be good enough for me.

Thanks for the vital information.
Sigh...this is such a letdown.

There is a fine tool in gsm arena that allows us to check camera quality of some phones.
oddly enough 5800 isnt in there, so i'll use 5530 as a replacement. (their quality is pretty much the same)

the link i provide above compares 5530, x6 and N8 (i use N8 as a benchmark, its the best cam in the market now, about digicam quality)
(remember to set "scale to 3MP" to have a fair comparison.)

the 5800/5530 is very bad, check out the color area, there's noise even in bright condition,
and the words at the ruler are unreadable.
That's what i mean by lausy quality.
