Sony Ericsson C901 review: Cyber-shot reloaded Price , pictures , Details , model specifications

At first, you might think that the Sony Ericsson C901 is just another 5-megpaixel cameraphone. Well, that’s not terribly exciting in the current market bustling with 8-megapixel snappers, and probing the boundaries at 12. But you’d be wrong. Be it for the simple reason that the C901 is one of the few handsets out there sporting a Xenon flash. And the one on the C901 is special enough to help it stand above the crowd of cameraphones.

Another thing to note is the eco friendly GreenHeart version which is interesting enough – and trendy – for being partially made of recycled materials (though, technically both devices are identical). You can find out more about it here.

Even after reading those lines many would say there is nothing so special about the C901, particularly as it’s not even selling worldwide! Well, we‘ve been inundated with requests that we review it and there’s nothing we like doing more than pleasing our loyal readers.

The Sony Ericsson C901 is a great value in terms of image quality. Looking at the pictures we took with it makes us nostalgic for the time when Sony Ericsson camerphones set the pace and the others just followed.
Aside from the remarkable imaging though, the C901 is just an ordinary feature phone. And that isn’t a bad thing, since it does its job just fine. Very little to complain about, but at the same time not a huge list of features to get excited about either.
Anyhow, it’s about time we opened the box and started the review, don’t you think? Head for the next page to see what we found in the box and what we thought of the Sony Ericsson C901 design and construction.
The rest of the box contains… nothing else. That’s all. No memory card, no data cable, no software CD. Nada!

You won’t need much time to unbox the C901
The eco-friendly variant Sony Ericsson C901 GreenHeart comes with an electronic in-phone manual to replace the standard paper version, saving over 90 percent of paper used in the retail packaging. And its box is even smaller as well to minimize the environmental impact of transporting the final product.

Along with the Sony Ericsson C901 GreenHeart you also get a greener MH300 headset, which is made from 100 percent recycled plastic.
