I’ve just finished writing up my first large-scale preview, debuting with a C702 preview. Here’s the excerpt for ya’:
The Sony Ericsson C702 is the new junior Cyber-shot phone, featuring a decent 3.2 mega pixel camera with auto focus and face detection, as well as a revamped user interface compared to the K550, which seems to be its predecessor. When announced, the C702 was offically the first GPS-enabled phone by Sony Ericsson, adding the ability to geo-tag your photos, when connected to GPS satelites. To further enhance the C702’s camera abilities, Sony Ericsson got the C702 IP54-certified, meaning it is more or less dust proof and splash resistant from all angles. This will enable photography enthusiasts to take photos in more extreme conditions than previously possible.
Note: This is not a review, but a preview based on about 26 hours with the C702. I will not be posting a review of C702, so you’ll have to do with this.
Today I picked up the C702, G700 and G900 - the two G’s will be on tomorrow’s to-do posts list. C702 is a very nice mid-end Cyber-shot phone in a everything but subtle look that turns heads, whether it’s meant in a good way or not. It’s got a beautiful 2.2 inch TFT display, and an extremely snappy GPS even without A-GPS enabled. I’m eager to ‘accidentally’ spill water on it!
So… I thought I’d do a short unboxing post, basically with a few somewhat crappy photos, as it was quite late when I shot them! I’ll probably do a few hundred photos tomorrow of the three phones for some galleries in better lighting conditions. Enjoy
In closed a press release, Sony Ericsson now announces that it’ll be starting shipping of the C702 Cyber-shot phone tomorrow. We expect the C902, G700 and G900 will follow the C702 on its way across Europe.
Just to sum it up, the C702 offers a 3.2 mega pixel camera with auto focus, a built-in GPS with Google Maps and WayFinder as well as a crisp TFT display at QVGA resolution. C702 is also Sony Ericsson’s first dust and splash resistant phone, making it ideal to photograph in even the most troubling surroundings.
I’m not sure if we’ll post an in-depth going review of the C702, but I do think we’ll at least test out the statement of it being dust and splash resistant.
Sony Ericsson is one of the official partners of the Transsyberia Rally 2008. Sony Ericsson will be sending out its C702 Cyber-shot phone on the over 4,300-mile long rally from Russia through Siberia into Mongolia.
During this long rally, the rally teams will be blogging from the C702, and every photo they take of the event will be geo-tagged immediately for the world to follow. Apart from that, the C702 is dust and water splash resistant, making it ideal for an event like this.

Sony Ericsson has just released a set of new demo tours. This means that the total demo tour portfolio now includes the tough C702, the stylish personal organiser G700 and the multifunctional G900. This also means that these phones are about ready to be shipped. Once again - it’s impossible not to be impressed by Sony Ericsson’s remarkable skills when it comes to these videos… wow.
The C702 features a built-in GPS used for geotagging your 3.2 mega pixel camera snaps, as well as finding your way in the city with Google Maps and WayFinder.
C902 is C702’s big brother, and it features a 5 mega pixel camera with auto focus and face recognition, as well as lots of other exciting features. All this in a slim phone.
G700 is your ever-trusty personal organiser with a simple 3 mega pixel camera with fixed focus, a graphically impressive user interface, and a very compact format.
G900 is the absolute flagship of Sony Ericsson’s smart phones at the moment. It features a 5 mega pixel camera with selective touch focus (hot!), the same impressive user interface as G700 and in a similar compact format.
By the way - my next shipment of review phones will include the C902, G900 and W760. I’m hoping to get these within a few weeks, so I’ll have plenty of free time to review them.
So, I think we promised you some photo samples from the C902. It is without doubt the best camera phone by Sony Ericsson yet, and the beta software is quite good in terms of sharpness, although we’d like a bit more saturated photos as well as less photo noise. Apart from that, these are very good photos by a pre-production unit. Press the thumbnails for full-size versions.

It is actually splash proof, as you’ll see in the photos!
