My New SE C902


Yesterday, I went to KB Mall with my husband to spend our Deepavali there... hahaha!!! Actually, I wanted to look for something new to replace my old Nokia 3200 that I bought in 2005. It was getting older and its battery was not performing well anymore. I love the phone (for all the contributions she did to me...) but she can't serve me well and I pity her, so I'll send her to rest!

I went to a few booths to seek for Sony Ericsson Cybershot with affordable price. Frankly, I can afford up to RM2K, but I am a great pretender, so I said I just want to buy something below RM1K. (Do you believe me? I'm serious!! Hahaha!!)

I have made few searches on internet on cell phones, and I fall in love with Sony Ericsson Cybershot. I have no idea why I want to buy Sony Ericsson badly. I hate Nokia? I don't think so. May be I was influenced with all the forums in internet which said nice, nice things about SE.

To make the story short, I asked the shopkeepers to show me all the SE Cybershot they had. After making a simple comparison, finally i decided to buy Sony Ericcson C902, priced RM688. Hmmm, not bad although I love C905 more!! People said, less is more. Hope they are right.

This is my new phone. And to my old Nokia, please have a long, long rest. I won't disturb you anymore... hohohohoho!!!

This is my review on my new phone.
It has 8 touch sensitive camera shortcuts that I like! Although the touch screen at the sides may make the main screen appears a little smaller, it is still bigger than my previous one.



OK, perhaps it does not have the trendiest of style, but I'm already very satisfied with the phone. It's very sturdily built and has a very good quality feel about it. No need to be so trendy for me.
Anyway, it's a cool phone as I heard that James Bond is using the C902 handphone in the Bond movie "Quantum Of Solace". Cannot be that bad, yes?


I also like the way you slide the phone open to reveal the camera lens. Looks very impressive to me! And it comes with 5 megapixel so the photos taken turn out to be quite good, I should say. Of course you can't compare it to a proper camera, but as camera phone, I think this is one of the best if not the best!

The C902 can store up to 1,000 contacts and 7,000 phone numbers which is more than enough for me. And the good thing is you can create a back up of all your contacts by saving in its incredible 8GB memory card. (By the way, the memory card does not come together with the phone - you've got to buy it separately)

I find the phonebook absolutely user friendly. When you want to call someone and you just key in part of the number, the phone will list out all possible contacts with part of the numbers you just keyed in.

As for texting or sms, I love it to bits! The T9 dictionary is excellent to use, with the prediction of the word you are likely to use suggested to you before you type the next word.

As for the battery, it can last for up to 4 days with general use. This to me, is considered a very good battery performance.

Oh, if you want to use this phone as your MP3 player, you will be pleased to know that music from this phone is of very good quality! And with 8GB memory card, you can store thousands and thousands of your favourite songs! Simply smashing!

There are however, a few downsides for this phone. Firstly, there is no GPS which is funny because it has Google Maps. Guess you would have to get an external GPS. Secondly, there is also no WLAN support for this phone. Thirdly, the camera does not seem to work very well in poorly lit conditions.

But overall, it's a great phone to me at least, because it fulfilled my criteria of a good camera handphone, with no joystick, but with excellent phonebook and sms features, and excellent music player too.
