The Sony Ericsson C902 is branded with the Cybershot name, and the 5.0 megapixel camera offers auto focus and face recognition software. Sony Ericsson has placed shortcuts to the most helpful camera shortcuts around the screen of the phone which can be touched to access things like zoom, flash and effects. These touch sensitive icons can quickly enable you to select the shortcut you need, for example turning on the flash or enabling macro mode. The C902 also supports HSDPA Mobile Broadband, has an FM radio with RDS support and Bluetooth 2.0.
The biggest difference between the older K850 and the new C902 is that Sony Ericsson have put some real thought into protecting the high quality lens, users can now use a slide feature to open and capture cover the lens when not in use, a feature that other manufacturers should really take notice of. It is a basic problem that after owning a mobile phone for some time the exposed lens gets clogged with all manner of grit and dust purely as there is no cover protecting it.

The C902 has been initially released on O2 in the UK but further network rollouts are expected very soon, in particular onto the Orange network which will double the amount of tariffs on offer and make finding the correct package for a consumers usage requirements that much easier.

I remember those discussions. HTJ was a very knowledgeable individual. I wish he would come back.

I also wish HTJ would come back. He emailed me some really good info on this lens and it's development. I am surprised NEOM didn't look into this because it might have really put them ahead of the game. No money to take this further probably.
