There’s something very personal about a cellphone/mobile. I’ve noticed people pay more attention to form factor and look when picking a new handset, than they usually do with any other gadget.
I’ve been using a Nokia E65 since I got back from London. It offers exceptional battery life, pushes my mail to me and has handled everything, save my music files, brilliantly. Yet I just know that it doesn’t look or feel like my phone.
I haven’t seen a phone with flip-appeal in a while — the kind of phone you know you wouldn’t keep on call waiting — but today I found the one…or rather, my next one.
Sony Ericsson’s W902 is sleek, compact and boasts the media functions I’ve been missing from my E65 — a brilliant multimedia player with a 5.0 megapixel camera that has video capture to boot. This phone is so sweet I’ll be looking for it in the daytime with a flashlight.
My one worry is that its Exchange ActiveSync feature won’t support my mail account properly, which I desperately need for work. If you have used ActiveSync with any other Sony handset, let me know how it worked out for you.
No definite launch date announced yet. Most sources say it’ll be available in Q4 of ‘08, but only in selected markets. Here’s hoping Malaysia is one of them.
