 One of the nicest surprises advancing from Sony Ericsson aftermost summertime was its top-of-the-line Walkman-series handset – W902. Alike admitting the Walkman alternation focuses on multimedia features, the W902 includes some Cyber-shot ancestry such as 5 Megapixel camera with geo-tagging, autofocus, LED beam and angel stabilization.
Moreover, the affection of the bore camera seems to be on par with high-end Cyber-shot-series handsets, which makes it the aboriginal adaptable buzz that can be tagged both as music accessory and a camera phone. Add to that the aberrant angle included in the amalgamation and the 8GB M2 anamnesis agenda and you accept one of the best able handsets advancing from the Swedish-Japanese company.
Announced in July 2008, Sony Ericsson W902 was fabricated accessible on the bazaar in October the aforementioned year, and alike if it seems to accept been discontinued it can still be bought for about 450USD apart and chargeless of plan, but that depends on the location. Users can accept one of the three accessible colors, namely Volcanic Black, Wine Red and Earth Green.
Design
This is one of the capital problems that the Swedish-Japanese collective adventure had in the accomplished with its handsets – arid and anachronistic designs. Well, that hasn't chock-full its admirers from affairs its product, which assuredly propelled the aggregation on a admirable third abode afore the bread-and-butter crisis crash. Nevertheless, aback again SE sales accept gone bottomward and article fresh and avant-garde had to be bound begin and exploited. Today, architecture is one of the best important appearance for a fresh phone. Unfortunately, Sony Ericsson seems to accept started to affliction about that alone afresh and the W902 is one of the aboriginal to booty advantage of this change in the company's views. Alike admitting the buzz still resembles its Walkman-series predecessors, it approaches a fresh anatomy that is declared to accomplish it angle out from the crowd.
Medium sized (110 x 49 x 11.7 mm) and belief a little bit beneath 100g (99.8g including battery), Sony Ericsson W902 distinguishes itself through its alien music controls that can be begin all over the appropriate ancillary of the device. To be abiding that these can be acclimated alike with the buzz kept in a pocket, Sony Ericsson adopted to add 1mm to the admeasurement and accomplish the controls billowing from the capital anatomy of the handset. Starting from the top, you'll be able to calmly acquisition the bifold aggregate keys, Forward, Play/Pause and Previous music keys and a committed camera key. The larboard ancillary alone appearance the accepted proprietary Sony Ericsson anchorage for allegation and PC synchronization. On top of the handset you can apprehension addition committed music button that opens the music player. It looks aloof like a ability off/on that is usually begin on Nokia devices, but this one appearance an inscribed Walkman icon.
On the basal of the handset there's a small-sized gap area the mic has been placed. Above the 2.2-inch affectation there's a accessory videocall camera and a baby ablaze ambient sensor. The keypad blueprint doesn't appear up with annihilation new, except for the actuality that you can now bang every key with ease. The alone affair I begin a little bit annoying were the controls about the baby joystick. There are three accessible keys awash on anniversary ancillary of the joystick: 2 bendable keys, Accept and Reject calls keys, Shortcut key and C (Delete) key. Otherwise, the keys are a little bit adamantine to press, but you will get acclimated to it appealing fast. On the aback ancillary of the buzz Sony Ericsson included a 5 Megapixel camera, and the alone aegis adjoin scratches seems to be the actuality that it has been anchored a little bit lower into the anatomy of the case. Above the camera there is a LED flash, while on the basal larboard of the aback awning there is a nice loudspeaker. Unfortunately, I anticipate Sony Ericsson could do abundant added acceptable in agreement of actual acclimated for manufacture, which is a attenuate plastic. A little bit of brownish actual would've fabricated it added desirable.
Still, Sony Ericsson W902 is a footfall advanced in agreement of architecture and ergonomics. While, the candybar hasn't been too absolutely built, it feels appealing bunched in hand, with the barring of the aback cover, which seems rather flimsy.
Display and Camera
The alone disappointment apropos the W902's affectation is its rather baby size, at alone 2.2 inches. Coated in mineral glass, which makes it added aggressive to scratches, the awning supports 262K colors and a 240x320 pixel resolution. Contrast and accuracy are awfully good, but the capital allure is the actuality that it is altogether arresting in the sunlight. For added all-embracing advice apropos performance, analysis out the benchmarks below.
Menu and Software
Sony Ericsson W902 appearance the company's proprietary GUI, which has become accepted over the advance of time. There are some updates in agreement of accessory personalization and looks, but basically there's annihilation absolutely new. The aforementioned Media centermost alien calm with the K850i archetypal has additionally been added to W902, including the auto-rotate feature. There's additionally abutment for Beam Lite 2.0, so users can now booty advantage of assorted activated themes, but additionally of some added Flash-based ball utilities. They get to accept from bristles altered themes, anniversary with its own specific abilities.
The capital card blueprint can be afflicted in accordance to the theme, or by allotment one of these options: grid, alternating and distinct icon. Wallpaper, startup awning and awning saver can additionally be alone according to the user’s need. Also, there are seven profiles to accept from, added accurately Normal, Meeting, In car, Outdoors, Handsfree, Home and Office. Besides these, W902 additionally includes a Flight mode, in case users don't appetite to use the GSM action of the handset.
There are a few abundance accoutrement that can be employed, such as Alarms (limited to 5), Tasks, Notes, Calendar, Timer, Stopwatch, Calculator, Light, AccuWeather, Music Quiz, Standby World, WalkMate, Code announcement and a basal Book manager. Besides these the candybar appearance a committed Java YouTube client, which enables users to watch and upload clips. The Internet icon, as the name suggests, gives admission to basal Web browsing. Sony Ericsson W902 appearance the best recent Admission NetFront HTML browser 3.4, which seems to accessible any webpage, no amount how abundant it is. I accept noticed that it takes always to accessible a webpage back application the EDGE connection, so I advance application the 3G arrangement back browsing the Internet, as speeds are abundant better.
Multimedia
Sony Ericsson W902 belongs to the Walkman series, which makes it excel in multimedia features. Afterwards all, the best music phones are Sony Ericsson's Walkman-series devices, and W902 is not too far from the top. Boasting the acclaimed Walkman 3.0 music player, the complete affection is impressive. Users can booty advantage of a advanced ambit of equalizers, which accept been able with abounding decision art this time. It supports about all accessible music book formats accessible on the market: MP3, AAC, AAC+, E-AAC+, WAV, WMA, M4A and MIDI. Furthermore, the music amateur is accordant with Album art action and, acknowledgment to the chip accelerometer, it takes advantage of the Shake ascendancy feature.
Battery
Sony Ericsson W902 appearance a 930 mAh Li-Polymer array that has an official lifetime of about 380 hours (360 hours for 3G) in standby approach and 9 hours (4 hours for 3G) in talk-time mode. Afterwards application the buzz for at atomic 1 ages I accept absitively that the battery's activity is alone bisected of what the official numbers show. Still, that is a actual acceptable freedom for a medium-energy battery. If you are a abundant user you'll best acceptable allegation to allegation it every 2-3 days, but a bendable user will accept no agitation befitting it for a anniversary at least. The music playback time is of about 18 hours with the affectation in standby mode.
The Good
Surprisingly for a Walkman phone, W902 additionally distinguishes itself through its camera quality. Gathering capabilities of both acclaimed alternation bogus by Sony Ericsson, Cyber-shot and Walkman, W902 becomes the aboriginal amalgam buzz accessible for SE fans. Alike if the amount is still high, all the appearance included are up to the accomplished standards: camera, music sound, battery, abstracts alteration speeds.
The Bad
I accept that a abundant added acceptable CPU would've been appropriate for an activated GUI. Also, I anticipate that the buzz still lacks boldness in agreement of design. While it may assume to be bunched and ergonomic, afterwards application it for added than a ages I anticipate the architecture of the handset is not up to the standards of the blow of the features.
