Sony Ericsson C902

To take pictures for the "Life Captured" project each winner received a Sony Ericsson C902 phone. The intention was for each participant to take pics of their daily life that would then be put together in a short film by Mike Figgis. The C902 seemed to be a natural choice as, a main feature of the phone is a built in 5 mega pixel camera.

The C902 is also James Bond's choice of mobile device for "Quantum of Solace". After watching the advert below I was surprised that the marketeers seemed to think that face detection was a key feature and ignored some of the other features that I thought are key to the device.



Other features include:
BestPic™
Activate BestPic™ to take nine pictures in quick succession - with one press on the camera button. Keep the ones you like, delete the rest.

Accelerometer - auto-rotate
Enjoy your pictures in portrait or landscape mode. To move between modes, simply rotate the phone and the picture follows.

Wirelessness
Forget cables - wireless is the way forward. Connect to other devices with Bluetooth™ to sync, share and send. The phone connects to the new bluetooth watch range.

Fast download speed
Enjoy the mobile Internet at broadband-like speed in your phone. Download large files and email attachments in a snap. Get Web sites and news feeds to your screen in seconds. HSDPA takes 3G a step further.

Video & image blog
You get your own personal blog site with your phone. So why not add some moving pictures to it? Shoot a video clip, and all it takes to upload it is a few clicks.

Great touchscreen interface
In camera or video mode

Hi rez camera
