Sony Ericsson W902

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
London July 22 - No longer do you need to make a choice between music, media and imaging when picking your next phone. Compromise is now a thing of the past thanks to Sony Ericsson’s new W902 Walkman™, a phone that goes beyond music and gives users everything they need in one pocket-sized stylish device. Downsize your bag, free your pockets and leave your music player and camera at home - use the premium W902 phone to play your favourite tunes, snap those precious moments or watch crystal clear video on the bright, scratch-resistant 2.2” QVGA display.
The W902 delivers music as it was meant to be heard through Sony Ericsson’s revolutionary clear audio experience. With crystal clear sound quality and a dramatically richer bass, together with Sony Ericsson premium headphones, HPM-77 included in-box, your favourite tracks will sound better than ever. The W902 features the same superior sound quality as the W980, about to launch shortly, which was rated ”best audio experience” this month, in a trial conducted in Germany by TESTfactory**
The W902
Fast forward to fantastic sounds
• Outstanding music sound – Clear Stereo + Clear Bass+ premium headphones = clear audio experience
• Retro music navigation keys – skip forward, back, play and pause with the push of a button
• Crystal clear video playback
• 5 megapixel camera – snap your stills and videos
• Scratch-resistant 2.2” QVGA screen and lens - made with mineral glass
• 8GB Memory Stick Micro™ (M2) for more than 8,000 songs
The W902 Walkman™ is a UMTS/HSDPA 2100 and GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 phone that will be available in selected markets in Q4 of 2008.

i hope the bundled 8gb M2 doesnt inflate the price too much, its better if they omit it, ppl prefer buying their own brand and capacity preferences

then waking up late due to alarm not going off due to battery flat from overnight listening!

Possible pricing shld be RM1.8-1.9k, what do you expect form a flagship walkman phone woh... When W910i first came out it was overpriced too, and that was without auto focus camera...
But read again article from GSMarena, it doesn't have dedicated audio chip like predecessor... Contradicting it's brand of Walkman doesn't it?

http://www.mobile-review.com/articles/2008/se-w902-en.shtmlagree....w902 in terms of spec...ok la...quite good, at least better than c902 (for me la), js design doesnt hv the flagship aura...looks like k630

nway this phone might eventually kill c902 sales, it spotted slim body, 5mpx auto-focus, but it has additional dedicated music keys n bigger size card came with it

SE so clever..design C902 board but packaging with Walkman series
IMO dedicated "audio chipset" just way of marketing to consumer. the OS rule the SQ clarity. you can try compare btw any old WM 02/03 PDA/PDA phone with N81

i would have to agree that it's kinda good for SE to come out a multimedia phone like that, but for a phone like that, do u all think that a 3.5mm audio jack is definitely needed??
also, i do think that SE should bring their gaming on mobile phone another level, to fight with nokia's n-gage, i mean, thay have PS series, which means they have enuf exp to actually develop such platform for mobile phones...
and speaking of multimedia, they should also put more supported video formats into their player, for instance, .avi files and mkv files are getting popular by days, i do think they should really support those formats
just my opinion..this phone is good, but there is still some space for improvements...
iRonTech
Jul 23 2008, 10:37 AM

i tot the HPM-70 or 74 does provide 3.5mm jack already? even the C902's HPM-64 does come with the 3.5mm jack isn't it?

this phone looks good, function is good too. =) just wondering, 5mp with AF and xenon? if so, then i'm getting this. I like the design, simple is enough for me. =) *fingers cross that it has AF and xenon*

they just wanna come out something with a "safe" design..
not too unique to make u hate it OR love it..
not too conventional to make u sick of it..
its conventional with a lil of twist..
average people should be able to accept.

hmm, this phone is worth looking into for me. design is a bit cliche but it's fine for me. If given a choice btwn c902 and this, i'll go for this since it has walkman function.

after i look through W902 at
http://www.eprice.com.tw, the design actually ain't bad. But I still wondering, since C902 media browser/walkman 3.0 with megabass... probably the different only walkman buttons?

haha, i don mind the screen, just that W902 has walkman function + the camera of c902 =) but I do like c902's blue lights beside the screen though =D anyway, um how much do u think this phone will cost? hopefully below 1.5k?
