Tobias, 14 Jul 2008Does this phone have GPS?About 40 days ago, my Vodafone cellphone went dead from too many bangs. Having grown up with Sony products, I visited the SE website & decided to get the W910i(very good design). I believe that since I am no technie, W910i should meet my needs.Indeed, W910i is a wonderful phone if you are young & have good hearing. I found it wonderful when I was indoors but once I was on the busy streets, I was rendered incommunicado. So before I purchased the second phone this time,I checked the various forums,visited various phone shops & decided on the C902.
During the first few days of ownership, I really wondered whether SE had been hiring people to write wonderful reviews for them & inserting bail photos. For I found the camera of this C902 perform worse than my ancient Panasonic DC Lumix FX7.Thank God the walkman is comparable to my previous W910i. Of course, the earpiece volume, ringing tone & speakerphone are loud enough when set on the highest setting.
As a retired individual, I just could not afford to buy 3 phones within 2 months(W910i, C902 & ?), so I decided to experiment with the camera. A few hundred photos later(I have all the time in the world),I discovered that the camera is actually comparable to my ancient 5MP Panasonic Lumix. Here are my comments:
1 Photos taken outdoors & indoors(macro & infinite) are sharp,natural, not blurry at all & with fine color reproduction. When I blow the photo up on my computer screen just showing my cat's head, I can practically see the individual hairs. It's that sharp.
2 However, even up to today, I cannot take an acceptable photo when using the flash outside the 6'-8' range(8': very dim)
3 The more I zoom, the blurrer my pictures.
As regards the battery life, I am charging daily. But if my W910i experience is anything to go by, the battery life should improve as time goes by.
I am very glad I've got the time to experiment with every aspect of this phone.If I were still in the workforce, I would have pronounced this phone rubbish long ago. Now I am very happy about C901 except for the small screen.But then, life is full of compromises,isn't it?

sugar, 30 Jul 2008 help me please im desperate!!! how do u open the lens cove... moreHi, first make sure the screen film is removed - its easy to not realise its on the camera, then make sure your not holding the sides when you pull the top, as the sides slide with the top.
Hope this helps.

c902 - nice phone - But it keeps freezing, it freezes either mid call, whilst in the menu, whilst text messaging or worst still whilst playing music - this is extremely annoying and not what I'd expect from SE.
I have checked with phone supplier and its a known problem and they are waiting for SE to supply new software, but in the meantime I'm meant to download the latest software from SE website - only problem is SE software is to work on a PC only and not Mac. Not very useful to Mac users! - more phone calls and I have a replacement being delivered. Starting to wonder if Nokia should have been my phone of choice after using SE for last 7 years??
I would not get this phone at the moment or recommend it to anyone until SE get their act together - and if in the future it requires constant downloading of the latest software to keep it working I would not recommend it to any Mac user.

Had the phone for 6 weeks, mp3 playback breaks mid song and Camera/Video is sometimes jumpy - I've spoken to my provider and they are going to replace the hand set. i hope this isnt going to be a ongoing issue.

like that other guy said it is dodgey when taking moving objects probably because it has slow shutter speed or something but i can fix that soon.

Anonymous, 26 Jul 2008try to update it. Just check SE web site and there are all ... morethnx...
does the phone memory get erased while upgrading the firmware??
some pre-loaded themes,games etc cannot be moved to the memory card as they are 'protected' files.i dont want to lose them.
PS:I have never used SEUS before.
