    Which phone do I buy?

    Hey guys!

    I'm new around here and pretty much to the world of Sony Ericsson. :) Had a Z600 aeons ago and then it was all Nokia after that. I came across a friend's SE and whoa! SE has changed and how! Anyways, I'd like some help to decide which model I should go for. I'd like the phone to have the following features:

    1. A reeeallly good camera.
    2. A flash (xenon or LED, either would do fine).
    3. It should support flash menus and flash themes, basically a darn good, snazzy interface.
    4. Preferrably not too bulky and black/blue in colour.

    I don't ask for much, do I? :P

    I have the foloowing models in mind:
    K810i
    W610i
    K770i
    K550i
    W810i
    K8501

    Which one is the best? Is there any other model you guy would suggest? Pls help me out with this decision! Thanks a bunch! :D

    Cheers!

    K810

    1. A reeeallly good camera.
    2. A flash - xenon flash.
    3. It should support flash menus and flash themes. - flash menu or themes NO, but can change menu icons with other ( via patches or XS++, Setool, JDflasher )
    4. black in colour.

    For SW-R8BA024 have more than 110 patches.

    Personal preference but id go for it just for it 5mp camera as my wife would certainly appreciate it as she's a professional photographer and just happens to misplace her camera when i get a new phone!!!!!!

    If you're really intersted in flash themes and not in UMTS I think W810 it's a good choise altough it's on the market from several time.

    I know the W810i is really easy to tweak and chance things. As for a "really good camera" You will have to bend towards the K810i or K850i but if you live in an area that requires GSM850Mhz then you won't want to be steering towards the high end K series.

    I think most of the SEs cameras are okay. If you really want to venture into dark waters you can do some research on the Sony Ericsson SO905iCS which is NTT DoCoMo's Sony Ericsson slider phone with a 5.1MP Cybershot camera and 3x optical zoom. This phone has a hypersim unlock hack released and there's many people that have it and have said that all the multimedia options have been unlocked (yeah Japanese like to use network re-provisioning schemes sometimes lock users out of the multimedia sections).

    As for the W660i/K770i/K550i, I don't know enough about those phones to really say anything about it so I can only shell out information based on what I've tried and know ;) Thats my 2 cents. Hope that helps.

    -K770 has a respectable 3.2mpx camera with led flash and is available in 5 colours, one of these being black.

    -The k850 has a good 5mpx camera with both types of flash and is available in three colour schemes, all of which are mainly black based. K850 also has new a200 based system with dedicated media section.

    -Both of these phones support flash menus afaik
