Sony Ericsson C902 preview: C for Cyber-shot

22 February 2008
Sony Ericsson were first to make headlines at this year's Mobile World Congress, and continue to keep us busy previewing a bunch of debuting devices. Our series of quick hands-on sessions ends with a cameraphone...

    Those 'new' icons look almost identical to the ones SE use in their entry level phones like the Z310, W200, even the T270. I do still like them though.

      What are the little sattelite icons for in the camera interface? This one doesn't have GPS does it?

              Most of the Sony Ericsson phones in Japan are using 16M colors so they should be able to do it, but I don't care about that. The touch sensitive keys surrounding the screen is very nice, but for the price of having the screen size to 2" (its ok though because its not a smartphone). The SE C702 has bigger screen with the addition to being dust and splash resistance.

                  W-series can get by (read: get away) with 262K color 2" screen, but a C-camera series phone MUST have a better screen size and color resolution since that's what I'm looking at after I take the picture! It's simple as that. To say that 16M color drain battery fast is absurd, when Nokia can do it why not Sony, especially for a manufacturer that is known for exceptional battery life and LCD screens! This makes no sense. Get real Sony.

                    16 million color screen; drain your battery very fast... i think they are waiting for better solution 'longer battery life + colorful screen'...

                      I don't like the new designs of the icons in the main menu. The old ones were better.

                        The quality of the camera isn't complimenting the quality of design. I was dying to see sample pictures by this camera since it was announced, but now I'm not so sure about this phone. The sensor seems like a moderate improvement to the k850 camera sensor. The purple fringing, cold colour, and the red to pink conversion is a real turn off for me. I'll be waiting for the final release before jumping on this phone. If the picture quality doesn't out perform 6220 classic then I guess I'll be reluctantly turning down SE again.

                        Too bad, I was hoping that SE was seriously going to adopt sensors that are actually closer to the cyber-shot cameras. Especially considering they changed the name. But alas all the neat feature doesn't do justice to the disappointment in performing its primary function.

                          I would have prefer bigger screen.
