This freezing and crashing makes it difficult to use. Frustrating and the keys are literally breaking off. everything else is great but its the little things that count. So not entirely my best recommendation. Try something else please.

this phone was an excellent user friendly product, however, having looked after it from day one and it suddenly stopped working i can say it is not the phone to but. very moisture sensitive, the slightest splash invalidates the warranty and i know several people this has happened to. a raindrop can be enough to kill it

My first C902 lasted 27 days, before it packed in and wouldn't even turn on anymore. I took it back and got a replacement, which was mildly better but still awful. It crashes all the time, takes ages to do something as simple as read a message and the buttons are rubbish. The buttons are hanging off now, the number 4 button stopped working properly months ago and this phone is only 18 months old. Now, the signal's decided to stop working as well and completely cut out. I would not recommend this phone to anyone.

Camera= Excellent, hard to better, which is why I have stuck with C902's for the last 4 years. On my first C902 the camera button broke, but you can also take photos with the central select button, on the front of the phone. Folders for photos etc logical, though scrolling through photos can be slow. Over the years I have taken well in excess of 6000 photos with my C902, I will miss the camera when I upgrade. Reception= Not great, not as good as my SE W810i, this has been a disappointment and frustration all the time I have had the C902. Internet= A joke, not worth bothering with, cannot really be compared to more recent phones as does not stand up to comparison. I accessed an email once, it was enough to put me off. A genuine internet search is impossible. Radio, Calendar, Alarms and general organizational tools all work well. I like this phone for the camera and its toughness, it has flown across the room, been dropped etc many many times, and still carried on working. I have to replace soon, my eyes can no longer cope with non-zoomable print, but I will keep my C902 as my first reserve for extreme outdoor activities.

My Husband and I both have this phone and while mine never crashes, takes fantastic pics (as long as you don't zoom first you can zoom in on the PC and the pic quality is amazing),the battery doesn't last long and considering that I rarely use it I've been surprised. On the other hand my Husbands crashes all the time, and the picture quality just isn't as good as mine, however the battery lasts 2-3 days longer and he uses it quite a lot. the only difference between our phones is the colour, his being red and mine being silver. How is it possible that two phones, of the same model, behave so differently?? It's got me stumped!

Sony Ericsson has been my favorite mobile phone since my first camera phone the K700i, I must say that the K700 was a marvel way back then in 2005/06 An all rounder! Next was the K750. No words to explain the abilities of that model.I switched to K790 and K800/810 and went back to a K750 as it was much better and all round phone. (K790/800 & 810 did not have "MegaBass") Then wanted to upgrade to a K850 but quite by chance Got a C902. Same comment as for the K750... No words to explain the superb features on the C902. The Camera is a true Cybershot. MP4 Video with AAC sound recording is Superb! Music player has "MegaBass". Speaker tone is crisp and clear. The phone is exteamly user friendly model. Also since Red is one of my favorite colours, I was lucky to get a 'Crimson Red" model and sleek enough to get in to my crowded shirt pocket too. However I did have some problems when taking photos in the night and sometimes the video player has problems with the Audio going out of Sync. Batt life is not an issue for me. The best ever SE phone yet. All the best Sony Ericsson.

This is one of the best phones I have ever had. That's not an exaggeration - it really is an almost perfect phone. I have had it for 2 years now, and NOTHING has EVER gone wrong with it. I use it for work and so it's hardly ever turned off. As a result battery life is always a big issue for me, and at first the phone seemed to struggle to last more then a day. I read online that turning off the 3g helps, and since then 2 or even 3 days is no problem! If I had to sum it up, BUY THIS PHONE - YOU WON'T POSSIBLY BE DISAPPOINTED!! Don't listen to the drama queens on here - there's nothing wrong with the phone at all. This is the only phone that has lasted me more then a year without dying a death!

Great when it works. I had five of these over one year. The first two had keyboard and power problems. The third worked well until I lost it. The fourth and fifth had keyboard problems. The worst thing was that my phone company insisted that these problems were rare ('not heard of that happening before'). The above problems are well documented on the net so, think carefully. Are you feeling lucky? I really liked the phone that worked but I can't go through all the hassle again. I now have a Nokia X3.

This phone has been the bane of my life for the past 2 years! Had to stick with it due to contract, didn't fancy paying money to shell out for another new phone. Crashes all the time, camera quality is rubbish for something which has been hyped up so much - rubbish software and terribly slow performance. Battery life quickly deteriorates, can't use it for more than 2 hours without battery life almost running out. Generally rubbish.

I WENT AND BIT THE BULLET AND FINALLY UPGRADED FROM MY BELOVED K800I(AMAZING PHONE) AFTER READING MANY REVIEWS OFF THIS AND OTHER WEBSITES I CHOSE THE C902. THERE ARE A FEW ISSUES I HAVE FOUND THAT ARE NIGGLING ME. FIRSTLY THE SLIGHLTY SLUGGISH NAVIGATION CAN BE A PAIN (I AM VERY IMPATIENT), THE MP4 QUALITY VIDEO CAN SOMETIMES BE OUT OF SYNCH WITH THE AUDIO, AND THE BATTERY LIFE IS NOT AS GOOD AS THE K800I(BUT THAT COULD BE BECAUSE I HAVEN'T PUT IT DOWN YET). OK NEGATIVES OUT OF THE WAY THE PHONE IS SLEEK AND SEXY, SLIMMER THAN THE NOKIA 6300. NOT BIG AND CLUNKY AS SOME PEOPLE HAVE COMMENTED AND YES THE CAMERA IS FANTASTIC WITH A LOAD OF TWEAKS TO GET YOU THE BEST SNAP. THE LIGHT THAT HAS REPLACED THE XENON FLASH OF THE K800I WORKS EQUALLY AS WELL IF NOT BETTER EVEN IN LOW LIGHT CONDITIONS , THE KEYPAD IS SMALL SO PEOPLE WITH BIG HANDS MAY HAVE A PROBLEM BUT OVERALL 5 STARS AS I AM SURE A FIRMWARE UPDATE OF SORTS MAY IRON OUT THE MINOR BUGS. ALL IN ALL A FANTASTIC P HONE. ****by aqib****

I've owned a C902 for two years now. In general, I've been happy. It's slim and robust and I like the way the camera is switched on without using menus by sliding the body open - neat, stylish and relatively quick. However the touch-sensitive camera controls around the edge of the screen are a pain - they reduce the size of the photo display and are easy to activate by mistake - which can mean a missed photo. When I ask friends who do not know the phone to take a picture they usually touch the camera controls by mistake. This said, it was my phone and camera for a winter of climbing and skiing in the French Alps - it had no problems with the cold, humidity and neglect and took some good pictures. However, the top section of the keypad has peeled off on every C902 I have seen. And the keys require such a firm press to operate - this is embarassing - I have strained my thumbs! So if you text a lot or like to play games on the tube, this could be a problem for you. Come on Mobile Phones UK, please give us a review of the Nokia N8! My thumbs need a touchscreen quickly! Is this the camera-smartphone I always wanted!

Great Camera, when you get it to do what you want it to without accidentally pressing the ill placed touch settings dotted around, drives me mental. The buttons are awkward, however the interface and ease of locating it's functions are good. All that is completely irrelevant however, due to the fact that yet again Sony Ericsson have made a phone that breaks in just about every conceivable way at the drop of a hat. Having had it about a year, it freezes, has trouble turning on, throws regular wobblers and takes ages at the slightest implication of asking it to do something taxing like say, look at my photos. Oh and don't even think about dropping it accidentally, as it will explode into a thousand different pieces. Mine is now currently held together with an elastic band (Which has actually stopped the whole exploding problem), and it decides when it wants to do things and what information it wants to hold at any given time, not me. New phone tomorrow, i couldn't be happier to see the back of it! Absolutely pathetic, i can't believe how poorly built this is, mind you so was my last Sony Ericsson phone, that was discontinued forcing me to have this heap of crap as a supposed upgrade to replace it. Technically it was an upgrade, but total nightmare of a phone SORT IT OUT SONY! - Too long you've been building flakey phones. STEER CLEAR! You have been warned.

I have had to repair this phone 5 times and I have had it for under a year.The repairs were initially because the phone wouldn't even turn on, then there was something wrong with everything about it. By the end of the repairs they gave me a new handset also a C902, not as bad as the first one but I really could do with a different phone. Not recomended for anyone. DO NOT BE tempted by the camera because you could get the same quality of a 3.2 megapixel camera on a nokia. The video calling is not very good and you cannot even use the front camera for taking pictures.

The phone drives me nuts. DO NOT BUY ONE. Continually freezes, drops out during phone calls, then has fits of turning itself on and off again - continuously. Sony Ericsson's answer is a firmware update - only available to Windows users! USELESS. 5 megapixel camera is worse than the 2 megapixel camera on my previous k800i. Touchscreen is woeful, and completely frustrating. Surely a candidate for worst mobile phone ever? Only reason I haven't trashed it is due to lack of finances for a new one.

Ive spilled 3 full drinks on it,dropped it hundreds of times and so far all is well as day 1! It did freeze and or restarted at one time and i found out it was an application i downloaded that caused it. No freezin anymore. Batt life is wow-7days and with a lot of cam/internet use 5-3days. I use a phones camera alot thats why i like S.E and so far ive taken almost 6000 photos/videos with the c902. Xenon flash of k -series is better than led though. So basic all i wana tell everyone is MY C902 IS GREAT AS WAS THE CASE WITH ALL THE OTHER SONY PHONES I HAD. And they all got wet and got dropped alot and always kept working.

My previous phone was SE K790i. had it for a year wid no problems. Suddenly the phone would stop catching network. Found out that fixing it would cost more than the phone value at that time so I bought SE C902. I've had it for over a year. Problems started developing about 2 months back. First the keypad started peeling, then it wont charge properly unless i keep the phone at a certain angle, the battery life goes down rapidly...got it checked from a shop and they say battery is fine, it may be the phone. Also sometimes the phone overheats even when on a call. And yes the switchin off of the phone by itself is annoying as sometimes i do not realize that the phone is off and i may have missed out on imp calls. Camera is good only for daytime pictures.The flash is irritating as you cannot switch it on when needed. the flash is also not effective anymore but that could be due to the battery problem..maybe. I'm very dissapointed as I otherwise love the look and features of this phone.I expect it to last for at least a reasonable time period. However with so many ppl having the same problems SE should look into this and do something to rectify these problems if they want to keep their customers.

Saddly, having looked at these posts, my experiance is much the same as many of you. Got my C902 in Oct 2009, the first one was replaced about 6 weeks later when it constantly said 'no network coverage' even though my partners SE on the same network had a full signal. Now this one is displaying the 'serious error, stop charging' message. I can make and receive calls, but can only send messages, not receive them. Called the Sony helpline who said to use the update service. Followed the insturctions several times, but at the point you hold the 'C' button & plug the cable in, it does nothing, so no joy there either. Just about to call them again, they didn't seem to have heard of the problem when I called them the other day, which having seen all these posts I find hard to believe! It is a nice phone, but I wouldn't expect any phone to give the problems these obviously do within such a short period of time. I switched from Nokia several years ago because of these kind of problems & I have to say I am now very put off having another SE because of this. I doubt I will get an acceptable response from SE having seen the problems users have been reporting on the SE page of facebook which is a great shame. I always vote with my feet and will do so again if I do not get a satisfactory solution to this. I will never have another nokia because of the problems I had a few years back, it's a shame, but it looks like SE are about to join them on my 'never again' list.

well where to start, when i first bought the phone opened up the box, and the keypad was already off, so sent it back got a new one. couple of months down the line my second 902, kept freezing. so again i sent it back to the shop. the 3rd one came had no problems with it for months, then out of no where it stopped charging whenver i put the charger in i have to hold it at a funny angle now + put loads of pressure on it to charge, even then i still cant switch it on. Recently just bought a new battery for it so i know its not that!. dissapointment tbh:(

To be honest.. reading some of the reviews bellow, i honestly do not see the problem with the C902? This is my story anyway.. and NO i do not work for any SE related firm or own it on any buisness contract etc.. well. were to start? I have always had sony ericsson phones, as i believe they last longer, there durable, good battery life, easy to use, and obviously the memory expansion avaiable, as these are good for photos and music, which i use a lot. Having the W910, i wanted an upgrade. I liked this phone, best walkman yet, but,only downside which made me want a different model, was the switching off when lost signal and the 2.0 MP camera. So.. i then got a W705 on contract. Great phone overall! 5/5! This didn't give me any problems.. never switched off.. fully responsive didn't crash.. but downside to this was the keypad, i found my buttons easily peeled off.. and didn't slide down smoothly, it got stuck occasionally.. so then! I recently purchased a C902.. as i wanted a cyber shot, owning previous walkmans. And i have had this for quite some time now! I dont think its a bad phone in generall.. i guess its like the same with all sony phones.. you either have a superb working model, or you get the dodgey prone ones. But, all sony ericsson phones switch themselves off once lost signal. No updates stop this regardless of what you read or what sony tell you. It's just generally to much hardware in a small copasity. It cant take the technology.. But. I have had no problems what so ever. I do have the occasional rebooting once lost signal, but generally i have excellent signal from o2. The phone is very responsive.. but i must admit, if you have a lot of files being deleted all at once it does take its time.. You must also keep this phone updated. I found when i had this phone on the version 1.8 the photos and the screen seemed very dark? But i have just updated to 20.1.. " etc.. I reckon the photos and screen are a lot more brighter!! Havn't had any problems with sms, mms, all works fine :) I love this phone.. really, again as i said, do not see why people have been unfortunate in recieving the dodgey models? I would recommend people this se model :) if you wanted an upgrade from the K series.. its not as bulky/fat. Only downside really to this phone is its a bit slippery and prone to scratches a lot, as i take great care with my phones, and also the downward keypad, very stiff and slippery.. prefere the rubber solid ones, and the battery is a nightmare to get out!! had to use a stainless steel ruler!! hope this helps :)

This model is good, BUT... several times I have had problems, including 'Emergency calls only' so I cannot receive or send text messages or calls. The problem is not easily resolved. Once when charging, the phone flashed up 'Serious Error, stop charging immediately' then wouldn't turn on or anything so I had to take it to the T-mobile shop to have the software reinstalled (which lost all my text messages etc). Also the battery does not last terribly long. Apart from that, I enjoy this phone but think it is shocking that so many of us are experiencing these problems. Sony Ericsson should do something about it!

The phone is good. The battery life is terrible. usually lasts a day, two days at most, especially if you need to use it alot. Developed problems with my phone's software. First none of the applications or bookmarks didn't want to work. Then i upgraded the software. It looked fine initially. Then i realised with the upgrade the bookmarks can still not be used. Restarts the phone each time you enter bookmarks. Then the phone completely froze on me. I had to take it in to a phone shop where they reloaded the software. I couldn't, it was giving me all kind of weird messages when trying. 48 days after the software upgrade, my phone is in again... Doesn't want to start up. Now they apparently did a new software upgrade... I would not recommend that anybody buy this phone. As it is not reliable. My previous SE the K800i, was a much better phone compared to the C902.

I have the C902 limited edition red. At first the phone was very good, the camera was good and taking videos and other applications worked brilliantly. But then the handset started freezing and malfunctioning. It would restart randomly whenever it wanted to and the keypad started to disconnect from the actual handset. The camera also broke for an unknown reason. I had left it to charge and the next day the camera had several black blotches on the screen so the pictures i took were always ruined. Overall its a nice looking phone with good applications and features but the build quality is very poor. I would recommend that you do not buy this handset because of the poor build quality that is was produced with.

Worked without any problems for about 1 year. Then it started to get problems, it started freezing and restarting at random times. Also it didnt recognize my memory card anymore. I brought it back to the store and got a new one. After a couple weeks this one started to have some of the same problems again. Didnt recognize my memory card and at one moment my phone just restarted and after it restarted my whole memory was wiped. All my photo's/video's, games and applications were gone. After searching the internet i found out i wasnt the only one with this problems. Pfff how can SE sell a phone like this one with so many problems?! I totally lost trust in SE after this experiences..

Second C902 Ive had. First one had incredibly stiff buttons and also in areas where my previous samsung phone had full signal now meant I had none with the C902. The phone also randomly won't let me call out, this may very well be the network Orange. Though nobody I know with orange has this problem ONLY people who have C902. The phone also freezed alot. The would need to be turned off and then on again to rectify. These problems were bearable, a bit of persistence and it would eventually work. My phone was replaced with a new C902. This was a couple of months ago. The second C902 didn't have stiff buttons and much easier to use. Still problems with no signal in areas where with my Samsung I had signal. Phone would freeze more frequently and wouldn't let me call out on a more regular basis. Also with both C902 phones, charging is an issue. Sometimes it charges, sometimes it doesn't. The major problem I have had was when i went to contacts and it wouldn't open. So I turned off phone to turn back on. Turned back on to say incorrect sim card, and then tried to charge it with an error message of please insert sony erricsson battery. Majorly Unreliable. Only good point is that the camera is good, but whats the point if the phone doens't turn on.

I think this phone is too 'clever' for it's own good. I'm on my second, with Orange, and it started the freezing/crashing tricks of the other one before too long. I've just put up with it and it seemed to improve for a long while but now the phone is refusing to send texts! Finally sent one to my sister after about 25 attempts. I dread to think about this phone crashing on someone in an emergency. I'm phoning on Monday and this is going back. I'm going back to the Samsung model I had before.

I've had this phone for a few months now - I didn't really want it but my old phone broke and this was the only decent replacement avaliable, however I was quite surprised by it. although the features are good, I still haven't compeltely got used to the kepad and buttons, and find it really easy to accidently press the wrong button on the keypad as the keys are angled and hard to press - my fingers end up sliding all over the place unless i use my nails. Also the main navigation button in the middle is quite tempermental - sometimes I think I have pressed it when i haven't, sometimes I don't think I have pressed it when I have and sometimes it takes a few goes to press it because it doesn't seem to go down. I think it is a good phone, but the keypad and buttons are really annoying, which let's it down.

I've had this phone for 3 months, and it is already broken. the up button on the 5 way navigation keypad has broken, and will not work, as well as the touch sensitive shortcuts around the screen. Also, my phone will no longer go into normal mode, and every time i select this, my phone freezes on the sony ericsson screen, and i can only select flight mode for my phone, which is useless as i can't call or text. Just recently my phone has also started to over heat to a point where it burns my hands to hold the phone. Good points though, the camera is extremely good, and the sound quality is pretty good too which made me like the phone, but the last 5 phones i've had have been sony ericssons, and this is one of the worst and i wouldn't recommend it.

this phone is really exciting once you first get your hands on it but TOO many problems: -after a while (lets say 3 months) when you use the phone for media/internet/games for a long period of time the battery of the phone gets hot and starts rebooting and freezes -CHARGING is a major problem as after 6 months the sony ericson charger doesn't work effectively as it starts charging then charging mode switches off so you have to put in effort and correctly position the charger into the slot so that it stays on charging mode which is EXTREMELY ANNOYING -the Speakers have a crisp sound when you first buy it but after a while the Speakers Cackle and it gives you a headache -The Headphones are ridiculous, I have brought 4 pairs already because they keep falling apart and the sound level is very cackly, they are stuck together with almost dry glue lol Apart from these setbacks it is a decent phone but DO NOT BUY IT NOW as there are many phones that are much better than the C902 and will last long without the problems. I have had this phone for 1 and a half years it works but you have got to live with the problems I discussed I am finally getting a replacement next week,I only ever had sony ericson phones so Im going for a Samsung make this time Hope this helps

Have my c902 5 months now. I like it's style and ease of use - thats when it's working. Only problem I have with it is with the m2 Sony micro card - keeps coming up as 'No Files' when you go into the File Manager. I know that there are photos saved on the card as it worked only for a few days when I bought the card along with the phone. Also, sometimes it goes into 'Emergency Calls Only' even when others in the home who are on the same network have good strong signals, so be aware of this possibly happening to yours. The question is, would I buy another one? the answer would be NO. Not with the niggly troubles that I have had with it. You get the feeling of throwing it through the nearest window when it plays up.
