The announcement that Sony Ericsson is to release the Sony Ericsson C903 comes amidst many other high profile launches from the mobile giants. Perhaps that is why we are a little less excited about the C903 as we normally would be. Nevertheless, we will continue to let you know about the specifications for this middle of the road handset, as not everybody wants the top of the range mobile phones that cost the earth.
The Sony Ericsson C903 according to the press release will come complete with a 5 Mega pixel camera. Whilst this doesn’t sound that great, the lens on the SE phones are actually quite good. If you think back to the C902, then you are not that far off in terms of image quality. Of course Sony Ericsson has topped up their offering with some fancy software add-ons to improve the image quality of the pictures that are being taken.
Firstly there is “Best Pic” and “face detection”, which aim to bring out the faces of people in the photographs that are taken. There is also 16X digital zoom, which if we are totally honest is not that much use, as beyond about 8X the image gets so distorted that it isn’t really worth zooming in quite that far.
The screen is 2.4 inches which is average for a phone of this quality. However you can post images directly to your blog our view them on a TV. Sony Ericsson have also thrown in GPS, to allow Geo-tagging of your photographs, which is a handy little feature, although not altogether necessary. Overall this is a great value proposition that will probably be well suited for the pay as you go market, or cheaper contracts with a lower monthly cost. You can see the promotional video below!

The Sony Ericsson have had a massively popular range of Cyber-shot mobile phones; im sure we all remember the Sony Ericsson K800i, K850i, C902 and C905 to name a few. With the run up of the Mobile World Congress, we are to see the release of another very soon (Q2 2009). This time it’s the Sony Ericsson C903.
With all the Cyber-shot range, digital photography is the functionality that is at its code, the C903 is no exception. The Sony Ericsson C903 does not compete with the C905 when it comes to camera resolution (8.1 mega pixel VS 5 mega pixels); however it looks like a really good addition to the cyber-shot range.
The Sony Ericsson have not yet tried to integrate a fancy touch screen with a slider 9T keyboard (like the new Samsung Tocco Ultra Edition). Nor can the C903 compete with super high resolution touch screens (only providers 2.4 inch display allowing 240 x 320 pixels resolution) such as the new WVGA 800 x 480 pixels 3-inch LG Arena. However I really don’t think this phone actually needs it
Right down to business: what amazing functionality is the Sony Ericsson C903 cyber-shot going to provide?
Well, camera wise, as previously stated it’s a 5 mega pixel with a huge bunch of great functionality helping an budding photographer snap the perfect pictures. This includes x16 digital zoom, flash, image stabilisation, geo-tagging, picture blogging, ShutterSmile and BestPic.
In addition you can expect GPS, music player, 3G connectivity, Bluetooth, MD slot for additional storage (only 105MG internal), TV-out, HSDPA and much much more!
We will provide you with a lot more details on this phone next week at the Mobile World Congress. All Sony Ericsson C903 Reviews will be uploaded as soon as we have them.
