Another quite positive review from the GSMArena labs. As the case was with their W995 review, they are revieweinga prototype of the C903, so any faults that might be present will probably be fixed by the time the handset ships to your local store.
I, for one, quite fancy this phone. Don’t know why. Probably because of the lens cover.
Now follow the source link for the actual review.

Here’s our quick video preview at the upcoming Sony Ericsson C901 and C903 Cyber-shot handsets. These are naturally prototypes, and although the software is incredibly stable, it’ll probably change a bit in the final versions. The C901 and C903 will be out in shops in Q2 this year.
By the way… should any of you have any ideas to some background music we can use, then please speak up. I’m running out of new content (well, I already have run out), and it’s rather hard to find music we can legally use.
… and here’s the preloaded content from the upcoming Sony Ericsson C903 slider phone. The archive includes 16 sounds, 10 pictures, 2 videos and five themes. Enjoy!

Here’s a quick video showing the main differences between a proper xenon flash on the C901 and the rather crappy LED flash on the C903 – and it of course also shows how superior the C901 is when it comes to image quality. Enjoy! 
Sony Ericsson has now published the videos for the C903 and W395. I especially like the W395 video, but both of them are quite cool.
You’ll find the videos after the break. They will begin automatically. (more…)
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.
More pictures after the break!
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?
15th February’s the day.
UPDATE: A picture of the rumoured backside can be found after the break.
