Also announced today is the C901, which is a bit of a surprise to me. It’s not a global announcement like the other products, which is why I didn’t expect it would be announced today. The C901 will be available in selected markets only.

In terms of features, the C901 is very much like the C903. All the same camera features, including a 5-megapixel camera, auto focus, Smile shutter, BestPic, Smart Contrast, Face detection, PhotoFix, geo-tagging, etc. On top of that, it adds a xenon flash instead of a photoflash LED.

Other features include chat view messaging, YouTube, Fm-radio with RDS, built-in accelerometer, Bluetooth, 3D gaming, video calling, Google Maps, etc.

The battery is good for up to 9½ hours of talk or 430 hours of standby time.

The phone measures 105 x 45 x 13 millimetres and weighs 107 grams. It’s a quad-band GSM / dual-band HSPA phone.

It’ll be available during Q2 in three variants; Noble Black, Sincere Silver and Precious Peach.

Along with the W395 and car Bluetooth accessory AB900, Sony Ericsson also announced the midrange C903 Cyber-shot phone. If you ask me, the C903 is one of Sony Ericsson’s most important products in a long time, as it combines a great deal of features, a small size and a decent price tag.

The C903 is a rather stylish Cyber-shot slider, making it the second slider phone in the Cyber-shot range of products. Its unique design touch has to be the sliding lens cover on the back, which makes it look a lot like a real digital compact camera. Behind the lens cover is a 5-megapixel camera with auto focus, as well as a Photoflash LED.

It’s got quite a bit of photo features, this one… Face Detection of up to three faces; Smile Shutter to automatically snap a picture when a person is smiling; BestPic to rapidly take up to nine full resolution pictures in a second; Snapfish printing service by HP; Photofix to apply minor corrections to your images, geo-tagging with the built-in a-GPS; TV-out; photo /video blogging; image / video stabilizer; and finally support for both Flickr and Picasa on your mobile. Phew.

- The C903 Cyber-shot adds a creative and stylish mobile phone to our mid-range segment, said Daniel Sandblom, who’s the Global Business Marketing Manager at Sony Ericsson.
- The C903 Cyber-shot furthers Sony Ericsson’s digital camera heritage and makes capturing special images even more memorable, he continued.

Okay, enough about the camera. What kind of phone is this, anyway? Well, it’s a quad-band GSM phone with support for EDGE networks / dual/tri-band HSPA (850 / 1900 / 2100 MHz) phone, depending on the variant. There’ll be a C903a with tri-band HSPA.

It’s got a 2.4-inch scratch-resistant TFT display, capable of displaying up to 262.144 colours. The resolution of the display is QVGA - 240 x 320 pixels.

If we take a closer look at its features, we find chat view messaging, Bluetooth, Java, motion gaming using the built-in accelerometer, FM-radio with RDS, Media, YouTube, Walk Mate and Tracker applications, PictBridge, Google Maps, 3-month trial version of Wayfinder Navigator, and so on.

I think it’s also worth mentioning that the C903 will in fact be Sony Ericsson’s first phone to include an e-manual on the phone. This was first mentioned some months ago in a post about Sony Ericsson aiming to be the champion of sustainable development.

The phone measures a good 97 x 49 x 16 millimetres and weighs only 96 grams. One could say that it’s a slightly stripped version of the C905. Battery life is said to be 10 hours of talk or up to 400 hours of standby time.

The C903 will be available in selected markets in Q2 this year in three colour variants; Glamour Red, Lacquer Black and Techno White. No final price has been set as of yet, but considering it’s a mid-range product, it’ll be relatively low.

I was just watching this Swedish video over at Mobil.se about Facebook and Sony Ericsson launching a Facebook application together that integrates with the phone. Apparently, the application will be pre-loaded on many upcoming products, with the C510 being the first.

I sincerely hope they’ll offer it as a free download, so most users can play around with it. It just looks so cool! It seems like the language of the application will be localized, so that’s pretty cool as well!

Here are a few screenshots from the video. If you’re Swedish or would simply like to watch the video, you can check it out here.

It seems there’ll be another choice of colour if you’re planning on getting a Sony Ericsson C510. In a review of the Nokia 6303, Mobile-review editor-in-chief Eldar Murtazin posted two comparison pictures with the 6303 and the C510 in white/red trim. This colour variant looks rather smashing, if I might add, and I sure wouldn’t mind getting one (my address is available upon request, if anyone feels generous)!

You can find the original pictures in the review right over here. They’re located somewhat close to the bottom of the review. Eldar will have a few things to say about the C510, I’m sure, and whatever it is, it’s written in Russian - haven’t bothered translating it yet, so I can’t say what it is exactly, although, following his trends, I’m fairly sure it won’t be jolly good.

By the way, the picture above consists of parts of the two mentioned pictures. Since this is a blog about Sony Ericsson and all, I thought you wouldn’t be interested in viewing pictures of other devices, so I took liberty of merging the two pictures. As said, you’ll find the original pictures at the link above.

On January 29, AU by KDDI, the second largest operator in Japan, announced its’ new spring collection of phones.  Two of the nine phones are from Sony Ericsson, namely the Premier³ Walkman and S001 Cybershot.

S001 Cybershot

Sony Ericsson announces the S001 Cybershot, the only nonflip Japanese Keitai for the AU by KDDI’s Spring Collection.  The S001 features a 8.1 megapixel CMOS camera with PhotoFlash and an Exmor sensor technology similar to that used in Sony’s DSLR cameras α900 & α700.  Exmor CMOS sensors produce fast, quality photos by improving image processing and reducing noise.

The S001 shares similar styling from Sony Ericsson’s C905 and even the X1.  The front of the phone has a gigantic 3.3″ FWVGA OLED BRAVIA display.
