The Sony Ericsson C905, recently seen in the Bond film Quantum of Solace, is already one of the biggest selling phones in the UK, having topped sales charts within days of it going on sale.
Available in metallic finishes of either gold of silver or in the standard black finish, the C905 features an 8 Megapixel Xenon flash-assisted camera in its arsenal, along with 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity, an MP3 player and capacity for memory expansion of up to 8GB via the M2 memory card slot.
The quad-band W705 (aka RIKA, the G705 clone) with UMTS/HSPA 900/2100 support shares the same Clear Bass / Clear Stereo audio quality found in the W980 Walkman while packing DLNA-certified WiFi, shake control and SensMe music manipulation, a 2.4-inch display, 4GB of bundled memory card storage, an FM radio, 3.2 megapixel camera, Google Maps, and an accelerometer for what’s quickly becoming a ubiquitous auto-rotating display feature on cellphones.
It also packs Bluetooth, allowing it to stream audio out to the newly announced MBS-900 Bluetooth 2.1 channel speaker with integrated FM radio. You know, if you’re a fan of compressed audio and short battery life.
The Bluetooth speaker, meanwhile, supports 2.1 channels with integrated stereo speakers and subwoofer. Connectivity is either wireless or via a 3.5mm input; we’re thinking you’ll get better quality sound from the latter. The MSB-900 has a monochrome OLED display for track titles and music settings, plus has an FM radio. Music is automatically muted when the phone rings.
The Sony Ericsson W705 (and the W705u) will be available in selected markets in Q1 2009, pricing to be announced, in red or silver. The MSB-900 will also be available from Q1 2009.
An interesting viral marketing campaign is going on this week to promote the Sony Ericsson W595 over the Halloween period.
The campaign is running at w595-thedarkside.com and uses the YouTube, Facebook and Google Maps API to magically personalize a spooky faux news report on YouTube, using your personal information and picture which can then be shared around Facebook and via email.
The whole campaign is very well executed and is already spreading quickly thanks to the huge amount of viral elements that Sony Ericsson has included.
The price is yet to be confirmed but we expect it will be free with perhaps a £45 per month contract and around the £100 mark with lower value contracts. The X1 Xperia is a high end business phone with 3.15 megapixel camera, 3 inch touch screen.

The Sony Ericsson C902 is the first cell phone in the C Series of Sony Ericsson meaning Cyber Shot. Before all the cyber shot devices were part of the K series but the new C902 is the replacement for their K850i. As the cyber shop phones have been extremely popular over the past few years most of the people however feel that Sony Ericsson has been imperfect with their recent models as a few include unreliable firmware and dodgy keypads. However the new Sony Ericsson C902 is the flagship cyber shop model and therefore there are pretty high expectations.
Design
The Sony Ericsson C902 physically seems to be like the old Sony Ericsson phone style but very much developed. It is a classic style mobile and is ultra-slim nearly 10.5mm. The keypad is also very comfortable being the old fashioned one which has appropriate square keys enabling fast texting. Interestingly, you will also find an excellent five way navigation pad which works just fine. The handset also feels of very high quality with a great combination of plastic and metal offering an elegant finish. The phone is available in choice of red or black or both colours.
The screen of C902 is a bit smaller than the K850i which is due to the touch sensitive shortcuts at both sides of the screen. However the screen is very much sharp and bright which works perfectly in most light conditions. The camera is actually hidden under a mini sliding cover and when you open the slide the phone would switch to a camera mode. Being a five megapixel camera it is even better with the autofocus function, flash and stabilizer. The quality of camera is much like the Sony Ericsson K850i. There is also the BestPic feature that lets you take nine pictures in a second.
Entertainment
As the Sony Ericsson C902 is a cyber shop phone is also offers you excellent music features. The in built media player is fully features that even supports album art. The MegaBass feature of Sony ensures that you receive rich sounds from the small speakers. You can even personalize the phone as you download MP3 ringtones through PlayNow feature. The TrackID feature would let you identify the song from a few seconds of recording. There is also an FM radio with RDS included among the music features. Sony lets you use an optional Bluetooth stereo headset or just plug in a stereo headphone in the C902. The most impressive feature of C902 is that it offers you an in built memory of nearly 160MB which is much more than the K850i. Additionally it also supports Memory Stick Micro card of nearly 4GB which makes up enough space to store data.
The connectivity is also great as it supports USB and Bluetooth. The C902 being a 3G phone with support for HSDPA enables fast download speed. The battery life of the cell phone is standard but being an ultra-slim phone it tends to run short of battery life like similarly to other ultra-slim phones.
