Overview Specifications Pros Vs Cons
The Sony Ericsson C902 is one of the all new 'C' series. Just to confuse you, Sony Ericsson has decided to change from the old 'K' series to 'C' for Cyber-shot. If your head hasn't exploded in a shower of confusion already the C902 is the direct successor to the old 'K850i'. There, I bet it all makes sense now doesn't it?

The C902 has an entirely different look from the K850i. The keypad, a source of contention for many, has been replaced with an older design that you may have seen on the K800. This will certainly please those of us who found the K850i's pad to be a nightmare to deal with at times. The Sony Ericsson C902 also has a very different look to its predecessor. Where the K850 was somewhat bulky looking, the C902 is much thinner and it has sleek curves to give it a much more ergonomic look. With a thickness of only 10.5mm (compared to the K850i’s 17mm) and weighing ten grams less the C902 is certainly a better fit in the pocket. The display features eight touch sensitive camera keys around the edges. When the C902 is in camera mode, these keys control access to the various camera functions (such as autofocus and timer mode).

The onboard camera with the C902 will certainly grab some admirers, as you would expect for a Cyber-shot phone. While it is the same 5 Megapixel camera as the K850i, the C902's camera features a new photoflash LED. This flash uses less battery power and is quicker to charge in-between shots. Although it has to be said that it doesn’t have the same raw power as a xenon flash. Camera performance is very good on the C902, but you can't help but escape the feeling that it would have been nice to finally break the five megapixel barrier. Having said that, digital camera which comes with face detection motion capture and BestPic multi-shot burst modes allowing you to effortlessly take timeless photos. The Storyteller application, a neat little feature which allows you to edit your pics on the camera (add paint effects, speech bubbles, motion blur etc) and easily organise slideshows from your phone is also included in the C902. Users can also download Storyteller apps for both Facebook and Bebo, allowing you to shoot, edit and upload your creations on the move for the world to see and add comments to.

The user interface on the C902 will be familiar to anyone who has used a Sony Ericsson phone before as it has the style as previous models, but with some added features. The multimedia capabilities are excellent, with music output that almost rivals the Walkman range of phones. All the major file formats are supported and MP3’s sound crisp and clear. As you would expect on a high hand mobile such as this, the C902 is HSDPA compatible. Which means files downloaded over the air come in at near broadband speeds. To cope with this the C902 has 160MB of internal memory with a M2 memory card slot.

In conclusion the Sony Ericsson C902 has the potential to be a real star. There are some slight irritations with it (for example, you have to remove the battery to insert the memory card) but these are overshadowed by the numerous plus points that the C902 has to offer. All in all the C902 is a good alternative to the X1 and the G900, Sony Ericsson other five megapixel beasts.
