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.

Remember Frances? That Cyber-shot with a 5MP camera and a slider form factor? Well, according to SEMC blog, it’s going to be announced at MWC (as is the C901 …and some other phones). So, the C903 is basically a 5MP version of the C905 sans Wi-Fi and with a rather intriguing new desgn. All of the cyber-shot goodies are there, including Smile Shutter, BestPic, Face Detection, an active lens cover and aGPS for geotagging. Did I mention the 2.4″ screen?

UPDATE: A picture of the rumoured backside can be found after the break.

Here it is, F305’s music twin. As you can see, it is indeed almost identical. The W395 will have a more advanced music player than the F305, we expect it to be like W302’s.

In addition to the W508 and the C510, Sony Ericsson also announced today a Vodafone version of the W705 and confusingly named it W715. The phone’s got everything its twin already features, but with a few extras as well. Like the W705, it features a 3.2MP camera with an LED flash, Wi-Fi, Clear Audio Experience and Clear Bass (a la W980 and W902), a YouTube player, Shake control and SensMe. It also has a relatively large 2.4″ screen and a  metallic body.

What’s different, though is that it also has a GPS module (like the G705, the non-walkman version of the W705), which can be used with Vodafone’s Find&Go service, which enables users to find “their nearest restaurants, hotels or shopping centres all within a few clicks on their new mobile phone”. There’s also the standard package of navigation software that comes with every aGPS-equipped SE phone.Some people should also be happy to know that the W715 now comes with an 8GB M2 card, unlike the 4GB one that ships with the W705. 
There’ll also be a new colour - Galactic Black (pictured), in addition to the Luxury Silver one we’ve come to know from the W705.

Again, I remind you that this is a Vodafone-branded handset. Despite that, there is a possibility that there will be a non-branded version coming out in the Nordic countries.

Our friends over at Daily Mobile have released a number of photos of Kate, an upcoming handset from Sony Ericsson. The official model name of the handset will be C510. As the supposed K770 successor, it’ll feature a 3.2MP camera with a Photo flash (think LED), Face detection, the recently mentioned Smile Shutter, BestPic, QVGA video recording, an active lens cover and illuminated keypad shortcuts. The handset is pretty thin. It also features a 2.2″ screen, an accelerometer and by the looks of it, an inbuilt YouTube player. Oh, and also some kind of new printing service, called Snapfish.
