I'm considering these two phones because I' always hated to carry both a phone and camera out to parties.


I'm leaning more towards the Sony because of price, although the lens on the Nokia really intrigues me. Any suggestions or opinions on either phone?

Cheapest I can find a N95 is around $599 where the Sony K850, I can find for around $350.
Unfortunately, I'm unable to remember in what magazine I read that the K850 has an edge over the N95 based on a head-to-head comparison. I have no experience with N95 but the K850 continues to produce very good pictures though I would not compare results to a dedicated above average point-and-shoot camera.

One of the drawbacks of the K850 which I noticed was its inability to adequately deal with darkness slightly further afield. Maybe my settings were not quite right.
