just did some mod on the camdriver. if anyone wants to be a lab rats
and try it out do tell me about the results. only thing that has changed
is the camera buffer size and JPEG compression is relaxed... up to 2.3mb. rclxms.gif

do note that i do not own the c901 doh.gif

the below 4shared folder has both the modded driver -> camdriver0.dat
and then the original one -> camdriver0_original_c901.dat

only 4 lines of the camera driver code is changed.
bigger buffer size and less JPEG compression could yield higher quality photos. As in more details.

Then again, I don't own the phone so I can't test and debug.
Worst case scenario is when launching the camera, it will crash and exit.
So make sure any one sane enough to try will be able to default to the
original cam driver.

Finally got myself a peach colored c901.

So far so good. Only grudge with this phone is that certain times it the display dims itself. Even at 100% i find it not so bright to view...

my fren already change buffer size to 3MB
but when see the image, not much difference..

it just gain extra weight only.

Spent an entire afternoon testing. The default compression and file size is actually quite optimized.
No difference found at all actually no matter how I change it sad.gif

before i bought my C903 i was looking for peach C901. but couldnt find (i dont want black and silver) so i settled for C903.
but it came with a RM250 price premium  cry.gif

If you want better pic quality and that xenon flash for night pics, go for c901.

If you want nice design, gps, acceptable camera quality and larger screen size go for c903.

Too bad c901 has better pics and xenon flash, else I would have went for the c903 myself. Always preferred a slider phone over candybar.

I got mine for rm740. Apparently last minute price went up RM10 from RM730.

Free screen protector and a pouch... so I guess its okay.

There are softwares that can open word and pdf files, but trust me its very limited and not worth the effort. most of the time u cannot open the files due to memory limitations.

C901 on good for its cyber-shot.
