The Sony Ericsson C901 is a stylish bar designed mobile phone packed with great entertainment and imaging features and functions. This stylish looking handset comes available in a choice of three coloured casing which include black, peach and a silver colour. The C901 handset has a great solid feel to it but is not heavy, with a respectable weight of 107g and with measurements of 105mm x 45mm x 13mm the C901 is a great sized mobile phone which easy is to hold and operate with ease.

Sony Ericsson C901 Review – Internet & Connectivity
Accessing the internet via the built-in Access NetFront, WAP and Web Feeds web browsing technologies provides a superb and speedy service to the user. This can be assisted with the 3G HSDPA, EDGE and GPRS technologies that also come built-in into the C901.

Sending messages is a great way to keep in contact with friends and family and the Sony C901 comes with a selection of messaging services. These include SMS, MMS (multi-media messaging), Instant Messaging and Emailing. There also the predictive text input technology which allows the user to write a text message in quicker time making the process a whole lot easier. A sound recorder feature is available on the handset allowing the user to record short sound clips and input into a message if they so wish.
Sony Ericsson C901 – Gaming & Applications
Another source of entertainment featured on the C901 mobile phone is the built-in gaming facilities. There are Java, 3D and Motion games available enabling the user to keep boredom at bay and brighten any dull train journey.
When it comes to application tools sometimes we rely on them to keep us on time, stay organised and now days even on route. The Sony Ericsson C901 mobile phone provides its user with a fantastic selection of applications which include Google Maps®, PictBridge, Tasks, Auto Rotate and a Calendar to name only a few of the great tools available.
Sony Ericsson C901 Review – Summary
The Sony Ericsson C901 mobile phone is a great mid range handset providing its user with all the mod cons that a modern phone can provide. It does not have a super camera like the Sony Ericsson C905 but again the C901 will suit most users who prefer less fuss and fewer complications of high spec technologies. Great for the middle market consumers.
