    http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/download/1/490/054/1213696983/C902__SAR_ROW_R1a_Multilingual.pdf

    These are all the info on the SAR for C902. As you can see the C902 has a maximum SAR of 1.34 which is below the average of 2. Therefore it is fine (legally and for your brain), no problem with that too!

    I think you worry too much when you shouldn't.

      But I guess you need it more than I thought that time.

      Somebody else brought the SAR issue up.

      So I have checked and the SAR value for C902
      is 1.34W/Kg(N95 0.4-0.6 W/kg)

      Please be careful, you got more than you bargained for! ;)

        And yes you are right about expectations and needs. As I said, this phone will certainly please style conscious users who tend to go for a phone based on its design rather than specific features...

            For some reason SE decided to sell the black for less than 500USD and asking for 600USD for the red.

            I guess this is temporary, the price will come down and the price of the red phone will be the same as the black.

            Coupe of more week and the price will be below 400USD for both.

            SE prices always start really high and come down 30-40% in 4-6 weeks.

                  Ok, the moment of truth has finally arrived.

                  I got the C902, since I have been waiting for it for a while now and here are my final comments for you guys (what you do with them is up to you, I will not be held responsible =):

                  Pros:

                  - The design is just amazing and you can completely feel the quality in every part of the phone. Well done SE! (NB: the difference between the prototype and final version is huge)
                  - The camera (in my opinion) is great. I really like the touch sensitive buttons. They are very user friendly and it makes you realise the Cybershot power. Also, I took a picture in complete dark (in portrait mode) and the picture was astonishingly good (it won't equal my 5M Canon Powershot G5 but for a 10mm slim phone, WOW)
                  - the unique slide open lens adds a lot to this charismatic phone. Great touch!
                  - the screen is very bright and quick to access menus (I never used a bigger screen than 2" so for me it's good enough)

                  Cons:
                  - As a candy bar phone you may want to eat it :)
                  - It can take some time to get used to the keys
                  - the flash cannot be activated manually (it only fires when the light is low)

                  Overall, this is an excellent phone. I give it 5 stars and I highly recommend it, especially if you want to stand out with one of the most stylish phones on the market.

                      mdz, 18 Jun 2008Price dropped to $529529??? Look around more! I have seen it for less than 500 USD!

                      Couple of more week and it will be 400 USD.

                      SE so nice that the red cost much more than the black - almost 100 USD difference!!!!

                      Yes, SE is famous for its fair pricing policies.

                          Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970Quick question for you:

                          Do you like phones (in general) or just hate everything about them? You don't recommend phones and when we try to find out which phone you own you never answer...

                          I guess I am just curious, but don't feel like you have to reply to me.

                          Folks, I am getting my C902 in 2 hours :) They are going to be long hours but definitely worthwhile!!!

                                That is fine!

                                If you do not mind the small screen (for the money) that is fine. The camera is not so great but may be for you it is ok. Check it out!

                                In the US the C902 is about 600USD - I find that way to expensive on this market.

                                If you like it (after some checking)- buy it! Good luck!

                                  Anonymous, 17 Jun 2008This phone has just got out and already problems with it!!!... moreSorry I disagree with you. I currently own K750 and according to the specs on this website the screen is bigger on C902 compared to K750 (so thats a plus for me).

                                  I don't want the G900, I looked at that first and then I saw C902. I don't want touchscreen (as once you lose that little pointer you're screwed). Plus if you read the previews the G900 you have to use that touchscreen to do everything, it will take ages to make a call or do simple things. Plus the camera is not protected, where as C902 it has the slide open cover.

                                  G900 is not out in the UK but I gurantee it will be more than £250 because of this fancy touchscreen.

                                  On the plus for the G900 I give it the looks over the C902.
                                  I took a look at videos of C902 on internet, face recognition looks great. So I will be getting the C902 unless I find some major flaw with it when I take a look at it over the weekend.

                                    Problems with G900:

                                    - slow, slow CPU - old and outdated!
                                    - lousy picture quality
                                    - triband!!!!
                                    - buttons ( ergonomics)
                                    - look (some feel it look cheap)

                                    :)

                                      But, the pricing of C902 just ridiculous.

                                      Not to mention the 2˝screen, lack of Wifi etc. for 600 USD!!!!!!
