They are of course, all Sony Ericsson. Heh. My dad just got a new phone from Fido, and since I’m the cell phone/technology expert in the house, I was playing with it all night and … dreaded it. The navigation sucks, music player sucks, menu sucks, resolution sucks 128*160 and apparently good reception? I was in the basement uploading songs and my w910i had 4 bars and the Nokia 3500 (Dad’s new phone) had 2. Sony Ericsson for the win! Battery life? Don’t know and don’t care. I’ve been using my w910 for over a year now and charge it max twice a week and it’s still good. I hardly ever have it die on me, borderline red but it’s all good. I can’t use a non-SE phone. I just can’t. I shall explain in another post since I’m digressing. -_-() And the winners are…
Number 1 – Sony Ericsson Satio (Idou) 
Ah, the love of my life. This is the first promoted 12 megapixel camera phone. I can’t say released anymore because Samsung beat them to it by releasing their own 12 megapixel camera. But bigger is not always better, especially when it comes to megapixels, it really depends on the other features of the camera provided. I’m no expert but autofocus, flash (LED or xenon, this one has xenon which is > than LED) is a must and make pictures look a lot better. Just look at it! Don’t you want to touch it and stroke it and marvel at it for months like I am?! When and How Much? This baby is coming out Q3-Q4 of 2009, maybe around my birthday (October 5th! C’mon, Sony, send me a bday gift *_*) time and I’m estimating way over 800CAD at initial market price. Best wait until the spring for the prices to drop to 500-600CAD, and drop to 450 by next fall. Don’t know if I can wait that long. O_O … I know my wallet can though. -_-() Still, it’s nice to dream. Other specs this beauty’s got… GPS Wifi Touch screen Great nav with gallery Lotsa features for camera Sandy’s approval of awesome, style and sexiness ^_^b
Number 2 – Sony Ericsson C901
This phone is out! It’s green version isn’t just yet but the hippies would go wild for it. The green version is called C901 greenheart, it is essentially the same phone in terms of specs and looks except the parts are all recycled material, 100% recycled and ecofriendly. W00t! And the Greenheart doesn’t come in black. Whether or not it’s any cheaper I don’t know. This phone, I’ve been eyeing for months too, but not for me, it’s for Jon. He wanted something newer, thinner, sexier… BUT wanted candybar, as in non-flip or slide (he doesn’t like that), needs LED flash (he loves the Light application on his w810i) and an overall better phone. The w810i is hard to beat and so I’ve been eyeing all the Sony Ericsson candy bars for something better than it and this is it. Specs It’s got a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus (nudge nudge, this is important, the w810i has it too!), LED flash, a youtube application which I have no idea how to use it and why would they have one -_-() but it sounds cool “I guess”. It’s candybar, doesn’t have touchscreen (unlike the SE G900 which needs you to take out a stylus to press on the left-right navs, which is annoying, I find), Geo-tagging (cell-ID), face and smile detection on camera and google maps, which sounds pretty awesome. Color This baby comes in black for the non-Greenheart and since I’m cold blooded and evil, I’d like the black one. Also, Jon requested a black phone this time since his w810i is white and getting old. He kept it pretty clean, in my opinion. He’s been using it for over 2 years and it’s still pretty white. (Sandy wouldn’t be allowed to use white phones. T^T) But if you use phone for a while (in Sandy’s opinion, > 6 months ^_^;;), then maybe you should go for the silver or black. The Greenheart is only available in Ocean White. Price I’ve searched on ebay. Average price for the C901 is 380-400CAD (+S&H)$. It is pretty pricey but I think it’s worth it. You’re paying for the… camera which sounds awesome, the high res screen 240*320, the slim body (13mm thin), the C901′s 9 which is a scale for SE phones that indicates its build quality on a scale of 1-9, 9 being the highest in build quality so it should be pretty sturdy and just… an overall really good phone, makes me want one too! 3: The Greenheart version has yet to be released, as GSMArena stated on their C901 specs page, it should be released any time soon as it is now Q2 of 2009. And lastly,
Number 3. – Sony Ericsson C510 
This one is a cheaper version of C901. It is also candybar, available in black and has 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus and LED flash. It is also uber thin, 12.5mm to be exact and has been released as of February 2009. The price for this phone on ebay now is 250-280CAD. This one has the same resolution as the C901 but lacks the google maps and perhaps the build quality is lower since it is in the 5 range. However, it is much cheaper and an overall great price for what it’s worth. Thin, good camera and uber stylish, it is Sandy’s alternate to the uber expensive. d^_^b So those are the phones that I am eyeing for myself and Jon. Hope it helped you guys get to know Sony Ericsson phones more and to look more carefully when buying phones. The Satio is uber sexy, not out yet and highly anticipated in the mobile phone world and hopefully SE’s saviour in these harsh times. The C901 is a great build phone with great specs and looks, available now for approx 400CAD and if you want, you can wait for its environmentally friendly Ocean White GreenHeart version to come out very soon but either the same price or close to it. The C510 is the cheaper alternative that offers both style and performance with its 3.2 megapixel camera, thin physique and low price of $250-280CAD on ebay.
