Review of GSM/UMTS-handset Sony Ericsson C903
Mobile-review have posted their review of the Sony Ericsson C903. Here is their final impression.
The C903 boasts quite high ringtone volume level, however its vibro alert leaves much to be desired - you'll definitely hear a call, but if you happen to use the Silent mode, there is a good chance you won't feel it, and that's a pretty major blunder. The phone's reception quality is what you'd expect from a Sony Ericsson branded offering, in other words it's decent, but in some of the most call-unfriendly environments the lack of an extra microphone or noise cancellation system becomes a sensible issue, although on this front the C903 isn't much different from most other offerings out there.
Retailing for roughly 300 Euro, the C903 is definitely an expensive proposition, and much like the Sony Ericsson W995 it targets a quite narrow niche. This, however, doesn't make it a poor phone, for the C903's target audience won't really mind its relatively hefty price tag, as most women are more than willing to pay a small extra for the phone's looks, while functionality becomes a secondary consideration for them. The C903 has enjoyed some mediocre sales, which are the result of it being severely overvalued. In fact, today one of Sony Ericsson's biggest issues is pricing policy.
On balance, the Sony Ericsson C903 is a likable phone for women, who won't feel bad about paying extra 30% for its stylish looks.
