I have been offered the chance to get a C902, after all the problems with the C905 it has put me off getting that phone.

I have heard a lot of bad things about the C902 too though and have heard about faults but is it a reliable handset?

Also is the image quality good?

Thanks.

Anyone please?

I don't want to spend money if the phone is not worth it.

Thankyou.

I'd say no.

I had the C902 for a while, and didn't like it. I even got back to my K850 (can you imagine?)

- Slow phone (just like all A2-phones actaully)
- Small screen
- Irritating buttons
- Random restarts


..and more problems if you ask other people who had the phone longer.

What would you recommend instead then? I don't want the C905 but i want something with a fairly decent cam on it.

I honestly can't think of a phone to recommend at the moment. I would wait a while, maybe the C903 would be a good phone.

In my perception, go for K850i, if you deny c905. It is really amazing phone.

I can say Yes

No problems at all, not slow, the buttons are ok for me and not a single restart.

The screen is 2.0 and is one of the best from SE, good contrast and colours.
For me is enough, but if you want to see movies, you better choose a 2,4 screen.


Very Slim and robust (metal parts)

Very Happy with the C902, had the first a Red one in October and now I have the Black and both worked fine at 100%

I completely agree. I have had mine since last year and have had not one single problem with it besides a bit of dust in the camera cover. That issue is fixed with later models though, so I say go get it!

After the K800i this is the least problematic cybershot. Reasonably stable with far less issues.

Have to agree there, this is the most stable phone i have used since k810i

The build quality feels amazing and itīs so small and nice. I havenīt experienced any problems with those i have owned.

Keypad isnīt perfect, a bit strange keyes but i can live with them. The cam works really good in light conditions. Indoors and dull lightning it gets harder to snap beautiful pics.

The touch buttons works really nice and i like them alot.

I see it as a little basic phone, perfect "summer-phone" to have in my shorts and to snap some pics with.

Wait for the C903, it has the same or very simlar cammodule to the C902, but you get a 2.4inch screen & gps

Yeah It's a great phone, slim and sexy.. lol
BTW, did anyone of you have this problem ? When I pause or resume Audio files in media player I hear a small hiss, not when playing though, only when resuming and pausing ?
