The chance to buy it would be a fine thing!

gr8 phone, nice looks, gr8 camera, well built, nice keypad and i only pay $270 usd. some problems like the back cover has little grip but that is fine because i bought a hard cover to prevent scratches, protect better from drops and improve grip.

Finaly - a proper phone, with proper keys, Trusted O/S, decent sound, and decent camera with a proper cover. All this and no fingerprints too - about time! The best phone Ive seen from any brand since K750i / K770i

i been using SE for long time and i love every piece of it Man!!! but i think its time that SE should consider change the UI.

from my old W810 up to the new C901 it's almost the same although i like it but it would be nice to try something different :)

The new review on here says the following on the 901:"The Manage Messages application enhances message handling. Messages can be moved to memory card or phone memory"

Does this mean I can archive and save text messages on the memory card and transfer them to my computer?

I have a k770 and it has light sensor too which works very aproprietly.I think c901s design is similar to k770 so I want to upgrade to it but Im affraid beacause some of se phones cant take good indoor photos.
my k770 takes very good and bright indoor photos and you I dont need to use flash ecept for very dark environmens.
I know that c901 has a 5 meg camera so its phyotos are more exat than k770 but I dont know about its indoor performance .ARe indoor photos are good and colours are clear are they are dark such as k800 which is very bright in viewfinde but when the photo saves it turns out dark ?

I decided not to buy another phone yet. Already saw c901 live. To be honest, i did not like the phone's design (black or white). No offense to anyone but it kind of looked ugly to me. (Just my personal opinion) :-) Peace.
And the silver line between the keys, what's that for? For the phone to look better? A few metal parts here and there. Nah. Knowing SE, it served a better purpose. I sure hope it won't start to fade after more than 3 months of use. And i'm waiting GSMArena's review. (Some guys said it coming). Hope the performance could win me over. I'm skeptical on the build quality of SE's phones lately.

just realized that C901 has auto-dimming feature with light sensor hidden at top left corner of screen, next to ear speaker. when that corner is covered by finger, the brightness will be automatically dimmed. at first i thought my phone was malfunctioning as i usually stretch my index finger across the top to balance the phone when sms'ing, then only to know it's auto-dimming function.

after going thru 2 units of k810i, and a C902 which i traded in for my 2nd k810i after having it for 3 weeks, i find C901 to be my holy grail. IMHO, autofocus camera with xenon flash plus twilight portrait feature (which C901 has them all) is a must to capture photos under all lighting conditions. as a construction engineer, i need to take clear photographs (in and outdoors, day and night) for documentation purposes. a digital camera would be inconvenient to carry around, hence the need for a good camera phone.

unlike the bulky C905, nor the sporty C903, C901 has a classy sleek frame which feels solid, with simple and business-like straight forwardness in appearance.

as an impatient person, i couldnt stand C902's lag-ness. C901 is slightly slower then k810i but it doesnt get on my nerves.

keypad comprise of solid keys with soft clicks, extremely comfortable to type. no "dead" keys. (head-to-head comparison to k810i, C902, and nokia 6700, 6730 and 6300).

This phone is great! I didnt experienced any problems with this fone and it gave me great quality pictures beacuse it has Xenon flash.It also have a Video Call capability but the camera that will be use is the front cam because it has no secondary camera.It also have a LIGHT SENSOR which is also great because the phone's brightness automatically reduce(depends on the light detected by the phone, if it detect many light the screen brightness automatically reduce and its keypad light will automatically turn off and by that u can save energy that will prevent fast low battery. It is very slim and stylish and so sMooth too'So if u are planning to buy a phone, chOOSe this! But dont forget to put a handle ito it so you can hold it and you can prevent to drop that may cause damage to ur phone because THIS PHONE IS SO SMOOTH AND ADORABLE! Take care guys!
