Kinda boils down to what feature you are looking for as both these phones have pros and cons

Basic things to note:

k850 has Xenon whereas c902 is LED

k850 has a bigger screen compare to c902

k850 is almost double the size to c902

k850 has a funky keypad whereas c902 has a "hard-to-press" keypad

c902 has a cool camera slider feature

That place is Unique Seafood in PJ

Just updated the userlist and notice there has been no luscious red users!

If you want to go up to 8gb, would recommend you to get the Ultra version. I am using a 4gb version for mine and its a breeze... no lags wat so ever

Got my Sandisk 4gb Ultra for RM108. Its definitely more pricey then the normal version but the performance is fantastic.

There are a number of trustable handphone sellers here in LYN (Renee, BDL, mike7, hairul, & a few more)

However please be careful when dealing online since you are located in JB then most likely they have to post the phone to you.

My suggestion would be to scout LYN prices and scout around JB for similar prices. If price range is around the same then just pickup the one from JB. Also since you are getting AP pls do your research on which AP company to get warranty from.

That was my dilemma as well. End of the day you gotta ask yourself what you want out of your phone? Both these phone have good pros and cons.

For me I found that the c902 was more cool in design (and the Titanium Silver version made it stand out more ) I compare the sample shots from both threads and concluded that c902 shots were better/sharper. G900 has the edge with a bigger screen and its even touch screen! But I decided to go old school and stick to the usual SE interface that I am used to and play with the awesome slider design as I want something which I can snap on the go.

Maybe the rest can also share why they chose to upgrade to c902?

Oh and before I forget, a Merry Christmas to all!

PS: Almost forgot G900 has wifi capabilities as well.

Your points are all correct except the "not so slim design" part as both g900 and c902 share similar dimensions. Main diff is g900 is 2.5mm thicker

Yeah pretty much burn... Thats why best to be careful from the start. Especially online deals lotsa con artists out there

A fixed light can be activated by switching to Video Mode.

Before updating your FW please make sure to backup everything you can via PC Suite/MyPhoneExplorer

Have you compared it with an other c902? Maybe it could be a LCD problem?

Tried complaining to where you purchased your phone?

I upgraded from w810i to c902 and I am very very happy with my upgrade. IMO no matter how good the camera if the user does not use the correct settings the picture won't appear nice. Not necessarily must always depend only on "Auto" settings.

I have to admit the lack of Xenon makes night portrait shots looks bare but I am the type of person that prefers not to use flash but natural lighting so maybe that is why I am happy with my non-Xenon c902

Welcome to the club! TO be added on the userlist please provide the following details: Name | Color | AP/Midland | Price

For me new and ori is the way to go!

1. Virgin touch
2. Safe assurance on warranty
3. 100% able to update firmware

Almost all phones uses digital zoom. One of the reasons why I dont bother using zoom. Just take the pic then later zoom when viewing the picture; same effect.

I dont mean all phones does not have optical zoom.

I meant majority of phones uses digital zoom. Samsung has a few models with optical zoom.

And also what software are you referring to?

I am still not sure what kind off software you are looking for but it has a Media shortcut which brings you to a "PSP" view of your Photos, Music, Videos, etc...

The 4gb or 8gb choice is basically up to you on how much media you want to put in For me I purchased the 4gb card because price of memory cards drops everyday so no point investing in so big if I don't utilize the space. Doubt you wanna play movies in such a small screen too

As for Ultra Edition it has a much greater read/write speed compared to the Normal ones.

Faster write speed = load/save pictures/videos into the M2 card faster

Unfortunately I too have not found a solution to that. Only thing I can do is backup phone data.

Added you up!

I think it will be better if you update your phone via SEUS/PC Suite. Downloading it directly to your phone will be very expensive. Can you explain further on which step you are stuck at?

As for your hangs and temp increase, nope never faced that problem before. What is your current firmware version?

Happy New Year to all!

After switching off your phone did you take out the batteries for a couple of seconds?

And yeap your firmware is R3BA035

Also can I know your details so I can add you on to the userlist? (Name | Color | AP/Midland | Price)

Welcome to the world of c902! Just added you on the list.

As for the battery I would say give it a week, on personal experience my battery was pretty weak in the beginning but now it can last up to 3 days on normal usage.

Also wat firmware are you on? a forumer mentioned older firmware makans battery fast.

Refer to the Userlist on post #4 @ page 1

Currently only 2 users are using Ultra M2 and that is me and cwk88.

I cant do a comparison as I do not have a normal M2 card to test but on a personal experience I have not faced any lags loading/saving pictures/music/videos

However I too feel that its not necessary to get the Ultra version for 2gb.
