C902 - further thoughts



A few further thoughts on my new phone after living with it everyday for a couple of weeks:

Still really love the slim design - and the impression of excellent build quality remains.

Very good call/earpiece quality and comfortable to use when calling (yes, some mobile phones do manage to fail at this).

While I love the way the camera is hidden away inside the case, and the touch controls are cool, I reckon you'd be a bit disappointed if you'd bought it on the strength of the 'Cybershot' camera - picture quality is OK, but hardly a radical improvement on my old Nokia.

Keypad is slightly cramped, though the keys have a good response.

Battery life is so-so, generally seeing me though 2-3 days. To be fair, I use the phone quite alot.

This Vodafone-branded version of the phone comes with a really useful little java 'travel' app. including a configurable currency converter and world clock, weather reports for all countries and a world map showing daylight times.

The phone's operating software really is miles ahead of Nokia's non-smartphone efforts. Task switching is accomplished neatly, it's smooth and pleasant to use and has been very stable so far.

Oh, I almost forgot, this is the phone James Bond uses! ;)
