This phone doesn't have flash, its just a light, the xenon-flash on the K850 is much much better! So dont get fooled!

SE fans against N82 because of the thickness.
I think a black looks fine. I did not like the silver.

You should compare yourself.
Two totally different phone - N82 is loaded with feature and much cheaper.
But bigger.

Samsung i900 I think looks good on paper - it will be out soon. - so can not recommend it.

For me, the 2˝screen is totally unacceptable for this price range!

The camera not great. and it seems the built quality also lousy - see message below - unable to take a small drop!

Go see the phone yourself and buy it if you still like it!

Wake up!(I guess you did for the breaking of your SE phone! Nice wake up feature!)

Sony style is not about quality but look and feel :)

You should have listen to me!

Recent SE phones are poorly built!
The G900 even worst than the C902!

Nice gadget. Had it for 'bout 6 hours, then it fell down from my bed (40cm) hit the floor, and the screen (or rather the protective glass) cracked in 5-6 pieces. Ì may have been unlucky, but build quality seems dubious to me. Take care.

Hello. I just purchased my C902. I knew the C905 was due out, but figures I have to read the review of it for the first time while I am holding my 1day C902 in my hand. :-(

My question is this. How do I tell from the phone or serial number or box label if the phone is the UK or China version. ???

The fact is that several studies demonstrated that RF by cell phones significantly increases tumors and SAR values make a different!

SAR values:

C902 1.34 W/kg
W890 1.37 W/kg
G900 1.39 W/Kg
N95 0.4-0.6 W/Kg

US legal limit is 1.6W/kg - SE values are pretty close to legal limits. And you can be sure that the limit was influenced by the cell phone lobby - not too low!!!!!

> In reply to lol_maker @ 2008-06-19 14:49 from QxcG - click to readI had given the same value!!!

Well, well, well, with your 126 p IQ you are making another huge mistake!

˝C902 has a maximum SAR of 1.34 which is below the average of 2.˝

NOT the average is 2W/kg but the legal limit!!!
Huge difference between the meanings!

BTW, in the US the limit is 1.6W/Kg.

And that is also the legal limit not the average!!!!

For comparison: N95 ~0.5W/kg

http://www.sonyericsson.com/cw...ilingual.pdf

These are all the info on the SAR for C902. As you can see the C902 has a maximum SAR of 1.34 which is below the average of 2. Therefore it is fine (legally and for your brain), no problem with that too!

I think you worry too much when you shouldn't.

But I guess you need it more than I thought that time.

Somebody else brought the SAR issue up.

So I have checked and the SAR value for C902
is 1.34W/Kg(N95 0.4-0.6 W/kg)

Please be careful, you got more than you bargained for! ;)

And yes you are right about expectations and needs. As I said, this phone will certainly please style conscious users who tend to go for a phone based on its design rather than specific features...

Pick the one that suits you best!

For some reason SE decided to sell the black for less than 500USD and asking for 600USD for the red.

I guess this is temporary, the price will come down and the price of the red phone will be the same as the black.

Coupe of more week and the price will be below 400USD for both.

SE prices always start really high and come down 30-40% in 4-6 weeks.
