Apart from the Walkman series, series C, the Cybershot phone is a real cash cow for Sony Ericsson. Incorporation of built in GPS and dust and splash-resistant casing shows that the focus seems to be on a robust and all terrain usage of the phone. Since more and more people are into into trekking and adventure tourism, C902i is designed to appeal to active outdoors types.

The phone’s lighting dramatically signals when you are in camera mode by switching from white to blue. The eight camera touch keys come to life and let you choose between camera modes, Photo Flash, Face Detection and Auto Focus, and more with just one touch without moving your finger from the shutter button.With the C902i you just need to slide open the active lens cover and shoot. The Face Detection and Auto Focus capability enables the camera to detect and focus on the face of your subject rather than the background, so that you can take sharp and high quality pictures of your friends.With the C902i you can be confident of getting the perfect shot.

Though the phone is rock solid with a bunch of features, it has certain drawbacks as well. Lack of WiFi is bummer. I really have no idea why Sony Ericsson has a grudge against WiFi access mobile phones. WiFi access on mobile phones are a vital point of consideration by people who are looking out to buy a high end phone. Also the screen is a VERY small for a Cybershot phone (Could have used a 2.5 inch screen at the least). C902i is a great pone barring the above said vital features, which sadly will be the ones which the target audience or which the phone Sony intends to amrket to.
