Poor Excellent

Look and feel

Its design is minimalist yet oozes class, and it feels great in the hand. The smooth back enhances its high-end status.

Features

The C902 has a hidden five-megapixel camera with an array of features including Face Recognition, BestPic and Photo fix. It also has TrackID, Google Maps and HSDPA date speeds.

Ease of use

The four-way navigation pad requires just the right amount of pressure from your thumb, and the keys are wide enough for easy location. The menu icons are clear, bright and easy to follow.

Performance

The camera is the most equipped of any Cyber-shot phone to date, though cynics may point to the lack of Xenon flash and optical zoom. With HSDPA speeds of up to 3.6Mbps, surfing the web and navigation via Google Maps is a rapid experience.

Battery life

A marathon battery life of 540 minutes' talktime and 400 hours' standby time is another string to the C902's bow.

Pros: The five-megapixel camera is packed with an array of features, and the lens is expertly hidden behind the slider mechanism.
Cons: The lack of Xenon flash, Wi-Fi and GPS may deter some.
