Sony Ericsson Frances is C903, set for MWC 2009 announcement

23 Jan, 2009
The rumored Sony Ericsson Frances has now received a proper name - it will be called Sony Ericsson C903. Much like a slider version of the 5 megapixel Cyber-Shot Filippa, but with GPS receiver...

I heard that hikaru won't be released (got cancelled) and that the company will be put appart (Ericsson and Sony will go their own way in future).

Too bad, but they really sucked on the smartphone realm (even the xperia isn't that great at all.)

        ip, 26 Jan 2009You are wrong. SE never leave from Symbian platform. SE... moreHey..afaik hikaru was cancelled,like beibei n paris..even latest technology from paris (uiq 3.2) still use the same old cpu like p1i..SE dissapointed about symbian platform,n if xperia also failed with their winmo,se will take android,i ever read the news that se android based fone will launch at Q2 2009,seems se focusing on a200 n android,but if their financial problems more serious, maybe their android n next winmo smartfone will get cancelled like paris n beibei (hey u can read long review about p5i paris at www.mobile-review.com n why it cancelled)

          you're just wasting your life with words like: symbie-bimbie is better that Win Mobile, symbie's best.

                SE never leave from Symbian platform. SE will release 2009 phones under different platforms like Win Mo, A300, Android and Symbian.

                              G, 25 Jan 2009It would seal the deal for me if the camera was behind the ... morethe camera isn't under the slider.
                              there are "leaked" photos of the backside of c903 out there.
                              its a wide lens cover that goes from top to bottom. Much like the Sony Cybershot pocket cameras.

                              Go google it, and you'll see :D
