Basic functions
I felt the 2” QVGA display a bit too slim. There would have been room for a larger screen, but then the surrounding touch-sensitive surface would have to go: I would let it go. I won’t go praising the menu this time, however, as it’s the same that W760i and C702 have, so let’s see the short facts for those who haven’t yet read the reviews of the aforementioned models (we invite them to catch up anytime): the main screen can have other views than the usual icons (like rotating icons and list view with a single, large icon), some stuff have more animation and/or look cooler, RSS and games are now in the media menu. Other functions are where they used to be, in a logical and easy to understand structure, with a high level of customizability. There are lots of themes, so there’s nothing that would limit us in coloring the screen the way we want it.
No surprises in the phonebook either. We can have 1000 entries, with a maximum of 7000 of additional information: it should be enough for a while. As all Sony Ericsson phone, C902 also prefers if phonebook contacts are stored in the phone’s memory, but the phone can make a backup copy to the SIM card on every change if we would like to. The tabbed view has been present in the manufacturer’s models since a long time ago, while the list of usable data is appropriate for the needs of the everyday user.
Messaging is professional as usual. Predictive text entry helps when entering texts, MMS messages can have a maximum size of 300KB. The email client handles attachments as usual (although the phone cannot open Office documents), there are no signs of size limits, it starts sending a mail even if I attach 10 MB of pictures and the only available network is GPRS.
The calendar has week and month views, in case of the latter one, the table is colored based on the events and if we want to do two things at the same time, it warns us and continues coloring. The alarm clock has the usual settings; the code memory, the calculator, the stopwatch and the countdown timer are here as usual, so we won’t see anything surprising in C902.
