‘Brilliant!’ was the first thing coming to my mind, when getting the C902. The surface of my new phone is well polished and as smooth as glass. In addition to that the C902 is very thin for a Cyber-shot phone. Yet, the build quality is very good, and there’s a smooth transition between the nice materials and the weight of the phone.

The camera slider mechanism has been improved, so the lens cover feels solid and nice to use. As you all know, the C902 features a 5 mega pixel camera with auto focus and a new sort of LED-flash, called a Photoflash, which – according to Sony Ericsson – is on par with a xenon flash. It also contains a touch-sensitive surface around the 2″ display for advanced camera controls, which is very advantageous when taking photos.
I’m totally convinced by the camera quality. I’ve never seen such a good camera in such a thin phone! When you take photos, you’ll of course have to store them somewhere. For that, the C902 holds 160 megabytes of internal memory, which can be extended by a Memory Stick Micro memory card.

Let’s move on to the music department… The speaker is really awesome considering the thinness of the phone, and is comparable with K750’s speaker. The Mega Bass sounds very good on my BOSE QC2 headphones and the music player is very much comparable with the Walkman player.

Overall, the C902 is very, very neat and commendable for everyone who’s looking for a slim and well-built camera phone in the upper end of things. It’ll be priced at approximately £220 – £250, and is expected to hit the stores later this month.

Expect our full review of the C902 later this month, about the same time as it’ll start being available. Gallery of the C902 can be found here.
