Introduction
Besides C702, this is another Cyber-shot model that has been announced in Barcelona. The model numbering makes it clear that it is on a higher level of the imaginary SE-pyramid than its dust- and water-resistant brother, it is near to the topmost position; only Xperia and G900 are situated above it. However, currently the most powerful member of the Cyber-shot family is C902, there’s no doubt about that.
Although almost every manufacturer is trying to give easy-to-remember names to their phones (besides the usual model numbering), the best in this matter are Sony Ericsson and HTC. Ultra Music (by Samsung), Xpressmusic (by Nokia), or Mandarin Duck (by Alcatel) don’t sound as good as Walkman and Cyber-shot. The success of Sony’s products has been exploited in a smart manner; from a marketing point of view the manufacturer distinguishes itself from the others very cleverly.
The smaller member of the new C series is resistant to dust and water: the subject of our current review doesn’t have such features, in return elegance is emphasized. The device, which steps on the path of K850i (but it doesn’t take the throne from it, for some reasons), is the second phone from the manufacturer to have a 5 megapixel camera, but this is not the only thing that shows that no company is in an urge to make 7-8 megapixel lens. Maybe it’s better this way, at first they should make something really spectacular at this resolution (and we’re sending our best wishes to Samsung G600) and then the race could start again, which has already lost its meaning, as putting a camera with more than 5 Mpix resolution into a phone is just commercial gibberish.
But this is not what the story is all about nowadays, as everyone is speaking about improvements in user experience; the effect of iPhone on the world of mobile phones is easy to be felt, although C902 fortunately uses the good old shapes and buttons.
