The latest offering from Sony Ericsson,
By Guitar Heroine "Music maestro" (Somewhere In England.) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 500 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Sony Ericsson C902 Alona Black UK Gen
I just happened to be browsing in a mobile phone store for mobile broadband when I saw this handset. I was instantly drawn to its sleek design and its slimness, which when compared with my chunky Nokia N95, was a welcome prospect. I also needed a new handset anyway, as my N95 is dying!!
I have been using Nokia phones religiously for the last 10 years but I found it easy to figure out the basics and find my way around this handset. It has a 5 Megapixel camera which you can expose by pulling one end out gently, at the screen end of the handset. It is actually better in quality, picturewise, than the N95, taking clearer, sharper photos. In terms of internet, another reason for me choosing this phone, it has links on it already to eBay, Youtube and Facebook, although I must admit I have not been able to download the Windows Messenger you can get on there for free; not sure though if the problem lies with me or with the network provider (I don't actually think it's the phone's fault!) It has some funky ringtones already on there; I chose the guitar one. The phone is colourful and easy to navigate but one thing I miss about Nokias is the ease of getting out of applications; eg o Nokias you just press the key once to escape from an application etc but here you have to press "Back" multiple times which can be tedious if you're as impatient as me!!

Great looks and Features....Very Poorly Executed,

This review is from: Sony Ericsson C902 Alona Black UK Gen
Like most people I was bowled over by the specs and great reviews this phone was getting so I bought one a few months ago and it's been nothing but trouble. Here's a small breakdown that myself and apparently a lot of others users are finding
Design - 4 Star Small, slim and robust feeling. And even the strangely sloping buttons (why I don't know) still make this a stylish and in my opinion, easy to use handset. Camera (5 Megapixel) - 2 Star Neat sliding action reveals a small camera with touchscreen functions and boasting 5 megapixels. It's slow! So slow it takes about 5 seconds for it to start up on opening and 2 seconds of holding the button to take the picture. It's OK in bright natural light but due to an inadequate flash pictures are dark and nearly always blurred through camera shake and long exposure time in indoor situations. I've given up using it. MP3(up to 8 Gig) - 4 Star Good sound quality and simple to navigate (albeit just text lists with no cover art) and with an 8 Gig SD memory card it's more than adequate as an MP3 player. That is until you try to multitask! Try opening any other menu's or even writing a text while playing your favourite tunes and the phone grinds to almost a halt making it impossible to use. Battery - 2 Star If you use no media functions, it will last 4-5 days. But as soon as you play some music (about an hour a day) that goes to 3-4. Use the camera at an event, lets say on and off for a day and that reduces to 1-2 days. One Tip from Orange is to turn 3G permanently off as that wastes the battery constantly searching for a signal but it only improves by a minimal amount. Turning Off and Freezing - 1 Star Started off fine for about a month then the phone started randomly locking up about once a week. This is resolved by turning the handset on and off. This has recently become far more frequent and I get lock up about 6-7 times a week which is highly frustrating! It occurs while listening to the MP3 player or while texting and sometimes while it's just sat in my pocket. It also loses a lot of personal settings when this happens and I've given up assigning my contacts ring tones or pictures or doing any of the fun personalization features that the C902 offers. Overall Summary - 2 Star Phone has many great features, so many in fact, that it's a jack of all trades and master of none. I would have given the phone 3-4 stars if it wasn't plagued and made at times almost unusable due to it's buggy, slow, faulty software. If you want just a phone, it's fine. Expensive but fine. If you want a multimedia phone, ignore the specs and look elsewhere

This review is from: Sony Ericsson C902 Alona Black UK Gen
Like many considering the C902 I was bowled over by web reviewers of this handset who claimed it to be the next mobile oracle.
Whilst everyone appreciates technical innovation in a handset, I think most of us look for quality design, solid construction and basic performance first. Sadly, its the basics which let the C902 down badly. Don't get me wrong, it a has great screen, excellent audio quality and decent (though far from great) camera. But so do other Sony handsets costing less than half of this. The phone is let down spectacularly by its poor ergonomic design. The keypad is cluttered, stiff and very awkward to use. If you send several texts a day, you'll hate it. Keypad illumination is shocking. Similarly the D-pad is of very poor quality, having the look/feel of a £20 handset let alone a £200 one. Sony handsets typically boast the best gui interface of any mobile manufacturer, a smooth and lucid navigation experience. Not so on the C902 where (shock! horror!) its a clunky, slow experience. Even with the latest firmware applied. In terms of construction, the handset's most obvious feature is it's 12mm depth (suit pocket friendly!). But in all honestly if this is a primary consideration, check out Samsung and Motorola for vastly superior designs. I own a (cheaper and way better quality) T650i. I'm pretty confident K810i/K850i would argue similar things. All in all, I'm growing very sceptical about Sony's 'C' series phones, only the C702 seems worth consideration in the range.
