Sony Ericsson W300i is by no means a basic handset if we consider its various departments and tools incorporated but for the imaging technology. One fails to understand motive of the manufacturers Sony Ericsson in doing so. Nevertheless, Sony Ericsson W300i makes a wonderful mobile phone handset, branded as a 'Walkman' series phone which is very much in continuation with various other Walkman mobile phones. Let us pay a cursory but attentive glance on the strengths and weaknesses on Sony Ericsson W300i.
This one is a compact and light weight mobile phone in flap design. Due to its GSM QuadBand technology, the W300i is capable of global roaming which may help its cause in the global market. Another extraordinary feature is the talk time of up to 9 hrs. Truly speaking, this is one aspect of mobile telephony which should be looked at more sincerely as it directly affects the consumers in more ways than one. On this note, Sony Ericsson W300i has done a commendable job and this should propel its cause further.
The display on this phone is a rather ordinary 128 x 160 pixels, though TFT, 256K colours screen may bring in some satisfaction. The 0.3 megapixels VGA camera is another basic level inclusion. These two features compel the viewer to think Sony Ericsson W300i could have been treated a little better in the imaging department to stay in sync with other features.
Having mentioned what goes missing, let us get back to features which make Sony Ericsson W300i such a desired device. Memory upgrade facility which can go up to 1 GB takes care of any doubts whatsoever indicating it to be just another basic handset. Data transfer/connectivity tools further corroborate this fact with a wider acceptability as is equipped with options in this category to meet ends effectively. Though 3G and Wi-Fi are not a part of this package, the manufacturers never pitched the Sony Ericsson W300i at the high end of the mobile phone market.
The world of camera-equipped mobile phones has a lot of examples, but one of the most well-represented manufacturers is Sony Ericsson, thanks to their brilliant Cyber-Shot range. In fact, there's a camera phone for every user! Sony Ericsson K850i - the previous king of camera-equipped mobile phones Released at the tail end of 2007, Sony Ericsson entered the 5 megapixel battle with the K850i, the first one of their mobile phones to come with a 5 megapixel camera. Of course, it was so much more than that, because it was a Cyber-Shot mobile phone. And that meant it wasn't just about how many megapixels Sony Ericsson could cram into it. So, it also came with autofocus, image stabiliser and most crucially, a proper xenon flash (something limited to only the most top-end mobile phones). All of that made it an awesome camera phone, but Sony Ericsson had one last trick up their sleeves, to turn it into the king of camera-equipped mobile phones. They gave the K850i support for their own Memory Stick Micro memory cards, but also for microSD cards, giving you two options for extra storage. No other mobile phones offer that, and it really is a top-end feature. It's things like that that made the Sony Ericsson K850i the king of camera phones in late-2007/early-2008. Sony Ericsson C902 - the 5 megapixel mobile phone for the masses The K850i was the flagship camera-equipped mobile phone from October 2007 up until... well, up until now, really, as it still sits right in the top echelon of Sony Ericsson's range. But the thing is... 5 megapixel camera phones are rapidly extending down into the mid-range, which is why the Sony Ericsson C902 is now on the scene. This brings Cyber-Shot technology to those who want a nice mobile phone, but don't necessarily want the absolute top-end of the range. So, for those users, there is the Sony Ericsson C902. It has the same 5 megapixel sensor, and all the Cyber-Shot technology like autofocus, but it doesn't have a xenon flash (it has a super-powerful LED instead) and it only has the one memory card slot (Memory Stick Micro), instead of two. That said, it's still a wonderfully powerful handset, and it bloodies the nose of many other mobile phones, even some top-end ones! However, since the C902 is going to be Sony Ericsson's mid-range 5 megapixel mobile phone, and the K850i is getting a bit long in the tooth, what is going to be their new flagship camera phone...? Sony Ericsson C905 - probably the best camera phone in the world Recently, the is poised to take its place as the brand new Cyber-Shot flagship. And why is that? Well, how about the fact that of all the mobile phones that are in the UK, the C905 is the first one to be announced that has an EIGHT megapixel camera! That's right. Eight. That's huge! And of course, Sony Ericsson don't just rely on the number of megapixels they can squeeze into it, because this is another one of those mobile phones to carry the magical Cyber-Shot badge. And that means, once again, autofocus, image stabiliser and a xenon flash. This time, however, it always means something else, because the Sony Ericsson C905 has joined the ranks of mobile phones that have face recognition, just like digital cameras, giving you perfect portrait photos every time. Basically, combine that all together, and you come to an inescapable conclusion: the will be one of the best camera-equipped mobile phones ever made!
