Sony Ericsson C902
The basics
Sony Ericsson C902 is a mobile phone that provides users with crisp high resolutions at every shot. It measures 108.0 x 49.0 x 10.5 mm and it weighs 107 grams. Like most Sony Ericsson phones, it already has built in camera, audio player, Internet access, games, as well as connectivity.
The good
The C902 bucks the chunky camera phone trend by stuffing a five-megapixel camera into a lithe body. The camera itself is a real charmer, capturing excellent print-worthy snaps. You can improve your pics using an array of shortcuts on the touch screen, including face detection, and focusing. You can also geotag your photos with their precise location data pretty simply thanks to the on-board GPS. And did we mention it's got super-speedy HSDPA 3G? No? Well it has.
The bad
The C902 Cyber-shot does sacrifice a full-on Xenon flash to keep its trim figure, relying instead on an LED to illuminate gloomier subjects. That's not as bad as it sounds though, as it's actually pretty powerful. So snappers accustomed to Xenon's bright spark charms shouldn't feel too put out.
The bottom line
Don't let the lack of a Xenon flash put you off: this slimline camera phone is one of Sony Ericsson's finest models to date. And we've dated a few.

the only con imho is the screen, it lets it down terribly, when not using the camera, there are chunky black strips on the sides of the screen that dramaticly cut down your screen size,

I have recently bought this phone, and at this moment in time, i can't really fault it. It is extremely stylish, has a nice user interface, the camera quality is of a very high standard, especially as it's such a slim mobile. Overall it's a brilliant mobile phone and i would recommend it to anyone.

I remember when I bought this phone about a year ago, my friends started to buy it and then before I knew it almost everybody I passed at my college was carrying around the same phone. There had been issues with mine within the first few weeks where the entire phone would freeze and it'd take a few hours to reset itself after to trying to turn it off but that only happened 2 or 3 times. Now several months since this phone has been superb, though my hang-up button fell off which means I can no longer turn the phone off. Could be telling me something, but oh well...

I have the C902 and have done for the last year. What a rubbish phone. My calls keep cutting out and no one can hear me but i can hear them. Camera good if you have a steady hand. Wouldn't recommend this phone to anybody. Not happy at all with it.

I've had this phone for couple of years now and am still using it as I just can't find a phone that would live up to this. I know there is lot to choose from, but I am very picky and just love this one too much. Best phone I've owned so far (and I had motorolas, nokias and samsungs and LG before). Does great pictures (even thought I do prefer Xenon flash and the LED flash is just not enough), does reasonable videos for a phone, great apps, games and even surfing the web is ok on this. And if I ever upgrade, I will definitely stick to SE phones.
