The Sony Ericsson G900 we have here comes in Dark Red color with black borders surrounding the 2.4” touch screen. The buttons are raised and easy-to-press even for larger-sized fingers. Turning the phone around will reveal the 5.0 megapixel camera at the top right, together with an LED light used as the flash. The stylus is stored on the top left corner of the phone. We found that the stylus was too short for our liking. However, the G900 is finger friendly, so you can alternatively scroll and select using your fingers.
This phone is based on Symbian’s OS 9.1 and the UIQ 3.0 interface. Basically, it’s like the interfaced found on the P1i that was released a while back. As there are not many UIQ3 devices around in the market today, be ready so spend a little bit more time to get accustomed with the phone’s interface. That’s unless you’re familiar with the P1i already.
The phone, being targeted at business users, comes with a host of office applications such as Quickoffice and a business card scanner. It also supports Exchange ActiveSync so your office mails will be with you all the time.
The 5.0 megapixel camera’s quality is slightly poorer compared to the C902. To be fair to the G900, the C902 was a Cybershot phone so its camera function was probably enhanced. Despite the quality, there are a few nifty functions to the camera. Users can now touch on the screen to focus on a particular area instead of letting the phone do it. There is also an Image Stabilizer feature that smartly prevents blurry pictures taken by shaky hands.
The phone’s memory can be expanded using Sony’s Memory Stick Micro (M2). Although the card is hot swappable, you’ll still need to open up the battery cover to do it.
The Sony Ericsson G900 phone is great for busy business minded folks frequently on the go. The office applications within has its perks. The stylus was a tad too short, but thankfully the screen’s finger friendly. This also leads to the camera’s cool touch focus feature although we do feel the camera itself could have performed better.
Pros: Finger friendly operation, touch focus, a host of business applications
Cons: Short stylus
