why can SE bring out smartfones with such features?
it makes no sense paying 30k and above for a normal fone (read not a smartfone.)

What use is xenon other than taking snaps in some dimly lit places like tunnels and alleyways? If you're that interested in nocturnal photography, get yourself a decent P&S.

Besides, I'd rather have something that can be used as a flashlight in the dark while searching for keys and stuff.

if it gets an Xenon flash, it goes to the C sub brand from W.

I just love this design...........Why can't Nokia comes with these kind of designs???:(

if they are providing a camera phone with more than 3.2 mp then they should provide them with xenon flash... in 8mp it should be there and everyones knows how SE LEDS are !!! .... NICE phone by the way should price it for 28k ..

Nokia phones look like the ones by china :mad: they don't have a proper designer.....

Nokia is only good if you want functions and nothing else...

Tell samsung about Xenon. Btw, its not about user preference.The Hikaru is a Wlakman version of the C905. Putting Xenon flash in it would harm the sales of the C905.If you need xenon and LED both, get the C905 as I have done. ;)

Btw, X1 successor coming up too.

dude it is tageted for for different audience-those who want great camera,music and design with few extra features.Why there is so fuzz about smartphone.Not everyone neeeds a smartphone.Those who need there are already many good options already available.
