Sony Ericsson C902

Sony Ericsson couldn't very well come to the GSMA World Congress and not give us a couple high-end camera phones.

And since we've been fans of the Cyber Shot series ever since the K790a, we were hoping for a couple news models to examine. Fortunately, Sony Ericsson didn't disappoint us. The new C702 and C902 offer snazzy photo features, each in a candy bar design. We're not sure why Sony Ericsson is now designating its Cyber Shot handset model numbers the letter "C" (it makes more sense than "K" when you think about it), but based on what we heard at its GSMA press conference, Sony Ericsson doesn't know either.

The C902 is the strongest of the pair. Like the new Sony Ericsson G900 it offers a 5-megapixel camera but it ups the ante by including a 16x digital zoom, auto-focus, face detection, an image stabilizer, a flash, red eye reduction and support for Sony Ericsson's PictBridge service. It has an eye-catching red design and it slides apart in the middle to expose the rear-facing camera lens. Other features include Bluetooth, a media player and 256MB of internal memory.

The C702 has a 3.2-megapixel shooter with a 2x zoom, a sliding lens cover, an auto-focus and a flash. You'll also be able to tag your photos with a location thanks to the C702's integrated Assisted GPS. The C702 also has a media player, Bluetooth, 150MB of internal memory and it features a cyan blue color scheme. Both phones are quadband (GSM 850/900/1800/1900) but again, they support only 3G networks.

      Motorola MC75

      Enterprises looking to deploy a rugged, versatile mobile device will be impressed by the Motorola MC75's range of features. However, you pay a premium for smartphone functionality in a hardened form; this phone is not only tough, it is massive to the point of being unwieldy.

      Sennheiser MM 50 for iPhone

      Compared to the headphones bundled with Apple's iPhone 3G the MM 50s are light years ahead. Exceptional sounding bass and its affordable price tag make the MM 50 a great choice for replacing those dodgy Apple ear buds.

    • Super Monkey Ball

      Super Monkey Ball

      Unless you have a great deal of patience and very steady hands or a love of monkeys, bananas and falling off high surfaces, this game is not for you.

      While the 6210 is solidly built and features fast performance, the lack of a lifetime subscription to turn-by-turn navigation robs the Navigator of what should make it unique in the market.

      There's nothing technically wrong with RAZR2 V9 Ferrari Special Edition but if you want to Ferrari-fie your phone there are cheaper and better ways of doing it. For free.
