hi wreck..
i saw my friend's cedar mobile recently.. i was disappointed with the camera,cos it covers only half of the screen(i.e)image resolution in camera is very low..

In other functionalities,its so good..

but camera resolution is toooooooooo bad..there s no option for taking photo in full screen..whether any software updates available to resolve this issue??

      Hi, i have purchased sony ericsson cedar for rs 3780 from letsbuy.com using 15 % off voucher.

      Silver/ white cedar

      Here is my review:

      Pros:

      1)Excellent sound clarity in-ear phones,no problem what so ever while speaking with in-ear speaker.

      2)3.5G @ 7.2mbps, phone connected to pc ( se companion ) using AIRTEl 3G getting 5-6 mbps @ 700 KBps of download speed.

      3)Usb charing

      4)Wonderful keypad.

      5)SMS Conversations, i love this one the most.

      6)Excellent battery-back up, 2 days.

      7)micro sd card Supports upto 16Gb

      8)Pre-loaded apps like google maps, youtube....i don't have to install again. Installed opera mini which is really fast.

      Cons:

      1) Loud speaker is low but ok.

      2) Cannot hear ringtone when some one calls.

      Sol: i have selected NATURE ringtone which is really loud and my problem is solved and now i can hear if any one calls.

      3) No secondary cam, video call is there but only with main camera

      overall review: It's a fantastic phone ,priced at 3780rs in indian market,at that price what can you expect more than that?
      Cedar has HSDPA @ 7.2mbps guys you get unlocked huawei 3g data cards @ 2300 rs from ebay.in and now you got a phone which has 7.2mbps for 3780 rs, isn't that fantastic????
      MUST BUY PHONE.

                  - GPRS/EDGE Class 10 only. No use of 3g in my country.
                  - Battery backup average. it serves only 1 day.
                  - Display only 256k colour. no 16m :(
                  - Very poor loudspeaker. even acoustic update cant make any significant change.
                  - Unable to play Divx,Xvid,avi format video.
                  - Camera average.
                  - No flash.
                  - Supplied headphone is very poor.no bass. you need to buy an extra headphone for better sound.
