I bought this phone second hand because it was cheap. It works just fine I can listen to music use bluetooth to transfer music from my computer and it takes good pictures but I can't find the flash (not sure if there is one). MMS works and so does the alarm. But the keypad and design of the phone is terrible, very hard to open and shut the back of the phone to put the sim card in and data memory, it seems cheap to me. And texting is hard/slow because the keypad is terrible. I've never had a phone where the keypad was this bad - just hope the phone lasts me for at least a year or two.

I bought this phone in december, I got the grey one as a "James Bond" special edition from Movistar, I was very disappointed with the flash because it doesn't reach that far when taking pics. My P1i has a better flash! Still, the image quality is great on-screen but some of them come out too "white-ish" on the computer.
My phone, too, restarts on its own after a couple of hours of listening to music, probably it needs an upgrade of it's firmware. All in all, it's still a great phone, I like the camera enough to not buy a digital camera, I just wish it had a better flash :(
I give it a 9/10. Mainly cause of the flash, because the images on the computer can be fixed with a few adjustments on the phone's settings :D
The screen has really nice coloring, I think it's better than my mom's N95, even if it's only 265K. The phone is nicely built and I don't have problems texting, I'm just acostumed to the QWERTY pad on my P1i :) The design to me is pretty elegant looking, and you don't feel it in you pants pocket.
The volume isn't really that great since my P1i is louder :(
so, to finish off this comment I say:
The phone is pretty decent for use as a everyday camera, just not in the dark or in poor lighting, the mp3 player is pretty good just not the sound and I wish you could order the tracks in the playlists any way you wanted, I miss the wi-fi that my P1i has, so in total I give it an 8.5 rating. The flash and the volume take it down alot, everything else is pretty much perfect.

I've using C902 for 'bout 1mth, everything is ok but for me, the camera is a bit dissappointed. shouldn't Cyber Shot can shot a movement things and freeze it?but mine can't!if compared with N81, the N81 camera is better.
One more thing, when i want to take photo, the screen look likes a bit yellow, not briht white.so, when indoor, all my pic seems like in the evening scene. Sad Picture...:(

After battling Nokia for 2years I was looking for something that needs less than 10 keystrokes to get anything done - bad mistake. And SE allows Vodafone to lock the user assignable buttons to Vodafone Live! (on upgrades) grrrrr... There's an irritating latency when you press buttons - enough to get the chain of events derailed when doing things in a hurry. Plus the camera sucks. I was hoping this would qualify as a business phone - my mistake. I do think though (haven't tested), that the 3G/HSDPA interface really flies. T29i (yes previous millennium) still my favourite...

Nice camera phone, but I couldn't force the flash. You have only two options: Automatic or Off.
Too bad when you have strong back light.

Would be really grateful if someone can tell me if the media player on the C902 supports .avi video formats? I can't seem to get that info anywhere.

c'mon.. what can you possibly expect from that sensor size, no wonder the k800 is still able to compete in picture quality..

they should implement 3mp sensors to be quicker and more light sensitive.. a better lens (no zoom, just prime) would also create much quality improvement..

but hey.. the average consumer looks at the amount of mp, and assume that higher is better..

wow mixed views on the phone - i've got a nokia N73 atm one of the worst phones i've had. turns itself off the memory is bad and is awful for batter life, applications dont work sometimes and its too complicated. im waiting for my SE to be delivered today (hurry up) i used to have a SE w800i (and i still have it in my draw as a back up phone) the screen is smaller and the specs around the same - cant wait for the c902
