Sony Ericsson strengthens Cyber-shot™ phone range with two models that take photos further
10 February 2008

Sony Ericsson’s new C702 Cyber-shot™ and C902 Cyber-shot™ deliver best-in class picture quality beyond just megapixels.

Barcelona, Spain – 10th February 2008 – Sony Ericsson today announced two high-performance additions to its popular Cyber-shotTM phone range with the launch of the C702 Cyber-shot™ and C902 Cyber-shot™. The two phones, packed with the latest camera technology, make it effortless to take perfect pictures of those spontaneous moments – day or night, at a bar or the beach – and instantly share them with friends and family.

“The two new Cyber-shot™ phones that we have announced today share certain characteristics. Both phones place ease-of-use and best-in-class picture quality at the heart of their designs,” said Sven Totté, Head of Imaging Marketing at Sony Ericsson. “Yet both appeal to different audiences. One is engineered to let you take more pictures in more places and the other is designed to look as stunning as the pictures it takes.”

Sony Ericsson C702 Cyber-shotTM – Take pictures everywhere

* Splash and dust resistant* – perfect for your active lifestyle
* Single-handed camera use – for spur-of-the-moment photos
* Built-in GPS with location-based imaging – sort and view your photos according to where you took them

Never too extreme
You can use the C702 Cyber-shot™ in a range of different conditions, as its unique design means its both splash and dust resistant*. This means that whether you’re off-road or just off to the mall, your C702 Cyber-shot™ phone can always be at your side wherever you go, whatever you do. After all, the best camera is the one you have with you.

Never miss a shot
The C702 Cyber-shot™ is engineered to let you take pictures in any position. The camera key and the active lens cover are specifically designed and placed so that you can stabilise the 3.2 megapixel camera and capture the moment with one hand - perfect for an active lifestyle. Combine this with steady-grip materials and a wrist-strap provided in-box, and the C702 Cyber-shot™ really is geared to go more places.

Never lost
The C702 Cyber-shot™ integrates GPS and a range of location-based imaging services that really add a new dimension to taking and managing your photos. When you take a picture, information about where you are in the world is automatically added to the image. So you can always share your best moments with your friends and family according to where the shots were taken. Or you can simply sort the picture through your photo gallery on the PC or on the web.

If you are lost on your travels, Google™ Maps for Mobile locates and guides you to where you want to go, enabling you to roam free with confidence. Use GPS to pinpoint your location and then get turn-by-turn voice guidance to your destination. Find your way home or to one of up to 20 million points of interest.

Sony Ericsson C902 Cyber-shot TM – The image and style statement

* Slim Cyber-shot™ phone with unique slide-out lens cover. Camera-ready in an instant
* Stand out design – instantly recognisable
* 5.0 megapixel camera with Face Detection and Auto Focus. Always capture the best shot possible
* Illuminated camera touch keys. Intuitive guidance around the camera settings

The slim line C902 Cyber-shot™ will have everyone wanting to have their picture taken. Ultra-compact, stylish and with a unique lens cover that slides open to reveal the 5.0 megapixel Auto Focus camera, the C902Cyber-shot™ sports a camera performance beyond its sleek and slim looks. The phone’s lighting dramatically signals when you are in camera mode by switching from white to blue. The eight camera touch keys come to life and let you choose between camera modes, Photo Flash, Face Detection and Auto Focus, and more with just one touch without moving your finger from the shutter button.

Just shoot
With the C902 Cyber-shot™ you just need to slide open the active lens cover and shoot. The Face Detection and Auto Focus capability enables the camera to detect and focus on the face of your subject rather than the background, so that you can take sharp and high quality pictures of your friends.

Night shoot
With the C902 Cyber-shot™ you can be confident of getting the perfect shot. The phone incorporates the latest in lighting technology – Photo Flash – giving you better quality pictures even in low-light conditions. Also, a light solution has been added to the established BestPic™ feature – which lets you take nine photos in quick succession, choose the best and delete the rest. So now you can use BestPic™ wherever you are, perhaps even to capture the dance-floor action in a club!

Create your own multi-media slideshow
Use x-Pict story™ to add music and transitions to your gallery of photos and automatically create your own multi-media slideshow to share with your friends. Lights, music, action!

Store and share
The C902 Cyber-shot™ comes with a 160MB built-in memory – the equivalent of storage for up to 100 full resolution photos – plus the possibility to add even more memory with the Memory Stick Micro™ (M2) that can be bundled with the phone depending on the market.

Easy transfer wherever you are
You can transfer the images on your phone to your computer by using the CCR-70 M2 USB Adapter, also announced today. Save your photos to the phone’s memory card, remove it and pop it into the CCR-70. You then slot the card reader into your laptop and all your photos can be dragged across! Delete from your Memory Stick and you’re ready to go and fill it up again with more memories.

The C702 Cyber-shot™ is a UMTS/HSDPA 2100 and EDGE/GPRS 850/900/1800/1900 phone that will be available in selected markets in Speed Black or Cyan Blue from Q2 2008.

@TRO

Cm lecet dikit langsung dijual???

Wah....ga habis pikir deh gw bro.....

yah namanya juga OCD. drpd merasa ga tenang kan setiap liat lecet2nya.
tp pertanyaannya, lecetnya segimana sih bro TRO?
bisa dipoto ga? kok jd penasaran. ~_~

@Erixxon
Gw gak ada photonya, tp kira2 1 mm lah lebarnya.
Dulu malah pernah W880 jatuh gak ada goresan sama sekali trus gw jual n beli W880 lainnya.
@fuma-wong
gak usah dipikirin bro.
btw, dpt sania ijo dari mana tuh?

@TRO

Beli ama temen gw, dia buka toko di Mall mangga 2, kebetulan sisa stok 1 heran jg gw ama dia soalny pas gw mau beli, dia wanti2 jangan ambil T650 soalny ga gitu laku......tpi gw tetep ngotot ambil hehe

@TRO
1 mm?? astaga anda bener2 perfeksionis bung TRO.
tp untuk hape yg blom berumur 1 bulan, ada satu goresan keciiil aja emg rasanya dunia runtuh ya.

jd pengen nanya klo misalnya itu hape dah berumur 10 bulanan, lalu kejadian yg sama terjadi, itu termasuk "bisa diterima" atau sama aja "tak bs diterima"?

Guys... berita buruk nih.
Waktu hari Minggu sore C902 gw jatuh... nimpa besi buat railing pintu yang di bawah, pas di bagian yang tajemnya, tutup baterenya lompat. Itu jatuhnya pas gw ambil dari sarung waktu mau nerima telpon. Abis jatuh trus gw terima telponnya. Selesai percakapan telpon, tutup baterenya gw pasang lagi... tutupnya gak apa2... pas cek bodi ternyata di bagian paling belakang bawah ada boncel dikit banget, kira 1 milimeter lah, bentuknya mirip kaya kalo kita suka masukin hape sama kunci2 ke dalam kantong celana, kaya baret kena kunci gitu deh...

Secar fungsi sih gak ada masalah sama sekali, tapi karena... gimana ya... gw-nya agak2 perfeksionis sama sedikit punya obsesive-compulsive gitu kali ya istilah kerennya... tu hape gak mau gw pake lagi... gw minta tolong temen buat jualin, entah laku berapa gw gak tahu deh...

Tadinya gw punya rencana besok kalo sempet mau beli lagi C902 baru, tapi... tiba2 aja tadi ada yang nelpon gw ngabarin tentang sesuatu "barang" yang udah sejak lama gw pengen beli.... dalam 2 minggu ke depan kemungkinan udah tersedia... dan karena gw bakal butuh biaya lumayan banyak buat beli tu barang, kayanya rencana beli C902 nya gw pending dulu deh... Sementara harus puas dengan G900 dulu dan nasib baik menimpa SO905iCS karena akan dikaryakan kembali setelah sekian lama pensiun, hehehe....

Jadi sekarang cuma bisa mantau2 dulu aja ya...

Mudah2an ntar kalo barang yang gw maksud di atas itu udah kebeli dan masih ada sisa duit buat beli C902 gw pengen beli lagi juga... kalo gak ya nunggu November aja kali biar bisa dapet edisi James Bond.

aahhh om tro..

mau lecet2 mau bocel2 catnya kelupas bekas kejedug baret2 bekas digigitin juga gw rela deh beli tuh hp ....

dengan harga 1.5jt

Sabtu kemaren ke SEShop SC, eh ada lifedemo, langsung coba2...emang keren nih Hp, bahan, body....cuma satu...... layar berbading hrg jadi males deh....hehehehe

G900i/700i cuma ada dummy, payah belum ada aslinya.....

:P

bah. ngadem dl di sini.
td di esato gue smpt bilang c902 dan k850 post-processing-nya setipe. memang bener kan? yg ada efek lukisan gt klo indoor/low light?

lalu datanglah plankgatan blg nonsense bla3.

gue berilah satu contoh 100% crop. eh dibilang itu picture-nya di-zoom jd berefek lukisan!
bah.. jls2 di exif itu ada keterangan tidak di-zoom. dan ms 100% crop dibilangnya zoom crop.

bener2 org aneh. defend your phone to death!

(sumpah.. itu org swedia plg menyebalkan yg pernah gue temui )

Gini ya...
Baret2 halus karena pemakaian normal sih acceptable lah bro...
Yang gak bisa gw terima tu kalau penyebabnya adalah suatu accident, gak memandang seberapa besar kerusakannya, juga gak memandang umur pemakaiannya.
Seperti contoh yang gw bilang sebelumnya, dulu W880 gw pernah jatuh di kantor yang dialasin karpet padahal, gak ada baret sama sekali lho... tapi tetep gw jual dan beli lagi W880 warna yang sama (Flame Black).

Lain halnya kalo gw beli seken yang misalnya memang dari sananya udah ada baret2 ya gak bakal jadi masalah juga. Sharp 903SH aja karena beli seken udah ada sedikit aus di casingnya gak jadi masalah karena sepanjang gw pake gak pernah ada accident sama tu hape.

Intinya sih kalo ada kejadian aja gitu...

Kalo semua hal mesti diganti baru sih susah amat hidup gw nantinya, bisa2 tiap hari jual beli hape.... hehehe... kaya jualan aja... sekalian aja buka toko kali ya?

Mobil gw yg sekarang juga ada baret2nya kok, kadang kena ranting tanaman, disenggol motor bandel... tapi gampang kan, kasih aja ke asuransi biar dipoles lagi.
Tapi yang sebelumnya karena pernah ditabrak motor dari belakang, gw benerin, trus dijual deh.

1.5 juta adalah DP, sisanya dicicil sebesar 100 ribu per hari seumur hidup.

@fuma_wong
wew, hapenya banyak bener Bro, dijejer-jejer kayak toko

@Erixxon

Plangkatan emang nonsense banget hahah

@WhiteEye

@TRO

Coba gw tanyain yah kl sempet, nanti gw PM.....

@jigonx

*sepertinya pancingan gw berhasil* ( bujuk TRO bli sania )

laku brp tuh bos hpnya?

Karena gw suka tantangan.... ... maka....

Waktu ada promosi kartu kredit mandiri, tanggal 8 Agustus, gw denger kabar bahwa C902 gak ada stock. Ada pun orang yang mau beli mesti indent selama 2 minggu untuk mendapatkan handphone ini.
Gw sih memang gak bisa ikut promo ini karena gak punya Mandiri CC.

Besoknya, tanggal 9 Agustus, gw telponin dan datangin beberapa SESC dan toko-toko hape nanyain apakah mereka punya stok C902, dan jawabannya adalah kosong. Hanya ada 1 toko yang jawab ada, yaitu Duta Gemilang, di sini ada stok baik warna merah maupun warna hitam.

Tapi... gw males banget deh ke Roxi.

Sekitar jam 7.30 malam gw ke ITC Kuningan. Hampir semua toko gw tanyain, semuanya out of stock. Ada 1 toko yang ngasih harga Rp 4.050.000 tapi setelah ngecek sana-sini, nelpon sana-sini ternyata gak ada barang. Sampai2 ada beberapa toko yang nanya ke gw apakah gw juga yang tadi nanya2 C902 ke toko lain, hehehe.... ternyata mereka nge-link ya antara 1 toko dengan yang lainnya.

Abis itu ngubek2 Mal Ambasador mulai dari Lt. 3 : nihil.

Ke Mal Ambasador Lt. 2 : surprise! Ada 1 toko kecil - gak bakal nyangka deh kalo stock SE nya lengkap -- yang di dalam lemarinya di bagian dalam memajang dus C902 warna merah! Wah... langsung deh gw tanya. Harganya Rp 4.1 juta pas. Gw tanya warna hitam dijawab gak punya tapi dia mau nyariin. Telpon sana telpon sini selama sekitar lebih dari 1/4 jam baru dapat jawaban, ada 1 buah warna hitam tapi harganya Rp 4.15 juta. Langsung gw iyain mau beli... dan akhirnya beli lagi deh....

Kenapa gw gak mau warna merah? Karena menurut jakontil, yg hitam bahannya lebih bagus dari yang merah. Dan gw juga gak terlalu suka sama warna merahnya yang cuma belang di samping sama belakang....

OOT:
Di toko ini ada stok 1 buah W980 seharga Rp 4.775.000
Yang empunya toko saat ini make C902 warna hitam, sebelumnya G900 warna hitam.
Yang empunya toko janji mau nyariin T650 warna hijau, kalau ada nanti dia ngabarin ke gw.

OOT banget:
Yang empunya toko gak suka sama menu2nya Nokia, hehehe...

Weqs

TRO beli ni hp lagi

Katanya ada barang yang mau dibeli ( bukan hp )

Tapi

Tetep C902 yang dibeli

Hehehehheheheheh

Thx

wah mantap kali nih bos TRO, padahal C905 sama X1 udah deket lho...

gimana kalo beli sophia lagi aja bro..? lebih menantang lho..

maksudnya "barang lain yg sudah lama ditunggu2" itu ya C902 warna hitam........

@TRO

Mantap bos! hahaha doku boss ga abis2.....Btw sikat sania juga trus di teaser disini! LOL

jigonx said:

Sempet kepikiran juga tuh... kali ini pengen QuickSilver Black biar ngerasain ketiga-tiganya.
Tapi ntar deh kalo udah di bawah 3 juta aja.

Bro jigonx ngasih file swf (versi 2) untuk ngetest kecepatan handphone.
File-nya ada di halaman 18 thread C702.
Hanya bisa dipake di A200 karena versi 2.

Ini hasil speedtest dari C902 R3CA037.

With music player background --> min : 15.1, max : 16.7 fps, rata-rata 15-an sekian fps
Without music player background --> min : 22.2, max : 24.4 fps, rata-rata 23-an sekian fps

Hasilnya jauh lebih tinggi dari C702 ataupun W910.

Ternyata, dibela2in nelpon gue cuma mo ngasih tau aja ada toko yang ngejual W980. Sempet kaget jg neh tumben2 ada telpon dari bro yang satu ini.
Too bad, gue ga terlalu demen sama W980, tepatnya ga pernah demen sama model selain Candybar seh
BTW, kalo boleh tau bisa tolong sms nama sama no telp toko yang ente maksud donk bro. Kali aja nanti kalo gue mo cari barang bisa kesana juga. Thx dulu neh sebelumnya
