Advantages: Size, weight, music, internet
Disadvantages: battery! camera features, screen scratches easily

I've had this phone for a couple of months now and although it looks nice and is relatively durable, the screen scratches incredibly easily. My biggest problem is the battery which seems to last a maximum of 48 hours on standby! This really is terrible and which I put down to recieving a bad battery until I met a friend with the same phone and exactly the same problem. Watch out for this and get a replacement if you can. Other than that, the phone ...
...a lot more user friendly than previous phones I've had. I only wish they could have included some more of the photo features from the Cyber-Shot phones. As expected, the music capabilities are good, although I have some gripes with the menu system but which on the whole, is pretty slick. A good phone overall but the battery may let you down!! ...

Advantages: Sleek and stylish, easy to use and loaded with features. Top camera!
Disadvantages: Sometimes sluggish when doing simple tasks.

The new Sony Ericsson C902 phone is by far my favourite phone. Forgive me for being simple with some explanations but I have never had a Sony Ericsson before so some features I describe may not be new or novel. The first thing I noticed as I opened the box was the array of things that come with. A simple to use manual which only gives the most basic of information (but thats all you really need), some ear phones with built in antenna for the radio ...
...I am yet to test on my mac but previous phone software has worked. The definate selling point of this phone is the camera. A Whopping 5 Megapixel camera which effortlessly slides out of the top of the phone. Its beautifully designed so that it doesn't get damaged. A little blue neon strip lights up when you pull it out (great for those nights out when its dark and you can't see the camera!) and around the display which is thankfully in landscape ...

Advantages: Fantastic camera, great touchscreen with haptics, sound quality awesome, really fast browsing
Disadvantages: Screen quality could be better, easily scratched

This is a fantastic little phone! At first, I was a little upset at the camera quality - being a 5MP camera, you expect a lot from this little thing, so first shots were disappointing, but when you get the right settings for photos - WOAH! this camera really comes into it's own! Another fantastic thing is the haptics system, which provides vibration feedback when you press a button on-screen, to give you the feeling that you are touching an actual ...
...a fantastic little feature. The music player and music recognition are also great, showing Artists, Genre, Album etc, just like an iPod would. The sound it produces for such a little device is phenomenal, calls are really clear and for the music player, it booms out! The screen quality, especially for viewing photos is a little poor, but once you have transferred the images onto a computer for further viewing, you'll really notice how great the ... Read review

Advantages: 5MP Camera, Optical Zoom, FM Radio, 4GB Expandable Memory, Xenon Flash,
Disadvantages: A little bulky, but this can easily be ignored when compared to the excellent features!!

...length and width as the Samsung D900, with just a larger depth, due to its optical zoom. -----Internet----- The Samsung G800 is one of the 3G phones on the market. This is simply an extremely fast internet connection. -----Camera----- On to the camera, now. Well, the massive 5MP is a good place to start. There is a lot of competition on the mobile phone camera front and the Samsung G800 is one of the winners, alongside the Nokia N95. However, ...
...G800 is the ONLY 5MP with an optical zoom, which is x3. It also has a digital zoom beyond x3, going up to x12. Many also say that Cybershots are the best cameras, but I must disagree. The features of this camera ensure a perfect picture without the need to take many to capture the right one. Also on its camera is a Xenon Flash and red-eye reduction, to banish the devil look!! -----Memory----- In addition, compared to most other phones with expandable ... Read review

Advantages: Gorgeous, fashionable, stylish, easy to use
Disadvantages: A bit slow sometimes, ringtones aren't great

Before I start this review, I should say that the U9 is my first new phone in over three years. This is something pretty major for me as I was very attached to my old phone - it might have been old and basic but it offered everything I needed, and I found that most newer phones were either ugly or had the exact same (or worse) specifications than my old phone did - which was pretty surprising for one that was so old! The fact that I *FINALLY* chose ...
...how good the U9 is. The U9 is almost certainly a girls phone. Your colour choices are either pink or purple - the pink designed for 'party girls', and the purple for those that like luxury. The outer appearance of the phone is fantastic. It really is a gorgeous little phone, and extremely fashionable. The outside is very simplistic, metallic and shiny so it manages to look both sophisticated and cool. The purple is a gorgeous colour and is owned ... Read review
