I love Sony Ericsson and my SE K790c camera phone named Shainer is about to retire lest I replace it’s charger/headset terminals. I’m not sure if the camera still uses the Cybershot technology but even if it isn’t, android + 3.2MP camera + 4GB microSD + walkman = winning combination. Lotto?
Unfortunately I prefer a super small, super lightweight, basic texting + calling phone so I’d rather save for a Nikon D5100 so help me God 😉
Hey, good luck with the Nikon. Ako naman am shopping for a smartphone with a good camera. The Galaxy S II was awesome! 😀
