Sony Ericsson W902 review: Cyber-Walkman-shot - read the full textA phone like no other or a quick-fix Cyber-shot Walkman mongrel trying to pass off as a hip novelty – you can call the Sony Ericsson W902 whatever you like, but it will still be the best cameraphone among music phones. The 5 megapixel auto focus camera opens a new chapter in the Walkman book...

 

i was recently trying to search for this phone and so far i have failed to find the black one i only saw the red ones. is there a place where i can order one that i can trust? anyone have any suggestions?

I've been using this phone about a week now and I think this phone is very in terms of sound and camera. I don't mind its price because 8 gig m2 card and a very nice headset is included. Internet capabilities as well is very good and fast. My money is worth this phone and im sticking to Sony Ericsson 4eva.

i have been using this phone since Nov08. Sony has replaced my set once and have replaced the 8GB card once. We have yet to conclude what the real problem is - between the two. I get a message "No Memory card found" after unplugging the head set or my sony speaker! I continue to have this problem. But i know what to do - Open the back cover, remove the M2 card and re-slot it back. I continue to be a SE fan and hope mine is an isolated case.

Good review.... Thank you!

It's still an OVERPRICED phone.

SE INSISTS on using their proprietary charger port... Hmpph! It figures!
At least the memory card is upgradable (16gb card came out last winter but still relatively pricey and hard to find esp. in USA).

It's a better looking phone than w890i but the price... OUCH!

Sorry... rather spend the money on a decent phone with better media capability... sigh.... maybe time to switch to.... iPhone ... maybe??!

SE killed itself by focusing on the luxury end for their phones and look at them now.... barely surviving and STILL making Overpriced phones for ... who????

Not worth buying another SE phone!

i am looking for something that plays really good quality music and can support at least 4GB memory. Any recommendation?

SE has the most reliable telephony and messaging,only major flaw is lack of the WiFi but THIS IS NOT A SMARTPHONE,this is a totaly multimedia dedicated phone,and such as that it is best non-smartphone handset outthere.
PS the first 4g chip has been made and its conection is faster than WiFi so in a 2 years now non-smartphones will prevail

Yeah, the only complaint is the somewhat heavy price tag.

But the 8gb card, and super high quality headphones does make up for it.

"It's been a while since the Sony Ericsson W902 was released on the market and though we had a little preview out pretty much before everyone else, we somehow managed to miss a dedicated detailed review of this promising chap in the hectic winter months of 2008. Well, it's time to sort that and now that we secured a fully retail-ready Sony Ericsson W902, we are more than happy to take it out for a spin."

Some people really are brain dead.

This phone has been for sale for like six months already.

In serbia it costs 270 euros,and 5800 is 330 euros,in 6 months time when i am going to buy new phone i can bet that their price will be the same.
But SE is in my heart and its a phone built for multimedia and basic conectivity,thats all i need and all that any teenager need.
Biggest flaw is that it doesent support instant mesagging,which is present on my k610i.

Main disadvantages:

* Smallish screen - normal screen size. You're watching movies on mobile or what?

* Images suffer excessive sharpening and purple fringing - yes
* Poor video recording capabilities - not so bad as in previous models.
* No lens cover - who cares?
* No office document viewer - so what? It'a phone not smartphone.
* Shaky battery cover - yes very annoying. But can be fixed easily.
* Walkman button and Shake control implementation not user friendly - U use shake control a lot?

have been using this phone quite long time already, and can say that build quality is excellent, cannot see anything wrong with battery cover. but yea, would like to have built in GPS, as in some newer W series models. maybe SE will reveal somethin like that in the upcoming GSM converence.
