There he is at last - the worthy successor to K810i!

I enclose my phones always special attention to the camera. Many people do not understand that - "Why Have a digicam anyway?". Yes, but I drag something just not always around with me, but will often make nice shots, you also can be developed as a photo later before. The K700i was Sony's first usable mobile phone with camera, the K800i really good and then the 810i perfection (for the then state). Here came in the following years only bad goods, Sony apparently focused more on the W-series etc., the example was a 850i absolute crap (repairs, thick, heavy, bad Cam ...), the C902..irgendwie .... funny.
I recently tried out the new outdoor unit C702 - While this is robust and does his job very well, however: the camera - useless, alone, the LED photo light (manually one at that) does not replace the xenon flash close! So gone with it, the woman paid and browsed what it because there's so are Sony - and suddenly I discovered the C901, which is a shadowy existence in the midst of all other phones ekes out - so it seems at least!

I have the C901 now absolutely satisfied good 3-4 weeks in use and am. Well, it could be minimal lighter - However, the reason for the slightly higher weight (just as the lightweight 810i - which was 850 even harder) certainly only finally exceptionally good camera, which FINALLY got a clever quick service flap: no fat hump on the back (800i), not a total renunciation of the damper (850) and a possible back "hand operation" to take pictures, compared to the C902, for example, In addition, the C901 is pleasantly thin. To abzuschliesen the subject camera: simply very good, absolutely fast in the 'readiness to fire', completely operated with one hand and high-quality photos as a result. The flash back xenon, a photo light is on top of it. The only thing that could be improved is the red-eye reduction (with the bright blue eyes of my little daughter I have, despite the pre-flash often red pupils (especially indoor) The -. And only that - the 810i could be better.

The menus are Sony-lived and their speed afloat pleasant. In the hand, the 901er is really pleasant, you somehow a noble feeling about this surface. Unusually many games, the well-known Google Maps application as well as the proven Sony Walkman, everything works fine. Note in the margin: some Sonys have - mostly software-dependent - the problem that they are shot photos perfectly sharp, but then they used to come across very grainy as wallpaper. A sad phenomenon that the C901 (with the current software shipped, status Oct 2009) but thankfully does not have!

The voice quality is better than that of the 8 Series, 'hear' especially in the field. Vibracall is now not an electric shock, but is sufficient in most situations of moderate strength. (? Hello I call sometimes) The battery runtime of 2 weeks, I can not confirm the 901er ranks in my previous SE models a: depending on the used additive programs, photography or so telefonierhäufigkeit 4-7 days.

The missing memory card ... well, a 2GB card currently costs 10 euros, so should be in there, I would say. The lack of data cable ... that's unfair, here is Sony kindly re cramming a cable, not everyone has lying around as I still have old compatible cable home that he can use. The "green image" - is sausage to me beautiful that produces environmentally conscious components innendrin but are certainly not out of recycled egg cartons, right? ;-)

Conclusion: Finally a super device that the camera Group of Sony mobile customers Wür satisfy the next time. Top device for the top prize, BRAVO!
