Review SonyEricsson G900

The SonyEricsson G900 mobile phone is a smartphone device from the good people over at SonyEricsson like SonyEricsson K800, SonyEricsson T700 and SonyEricsson W910. The looks of SonyEricsson G900 phone are a little unorthodox for the smartphone genre. It looks more like a traditional mobile phone than it does a smartphone. It seems that this phone was made more for people that use a mobile phone for talking than it was for smartphone users. But that isn’t to say that this isn’t a fully functional smartphone, because it certainly is one.

The mobile phone is mostly black with a little bit of silver. It has a very simplistic minimalist look much like a non-descript mobile phone that hides the fact that it’s a smartphone. It weighs in at 99.0 grams, much lighter than most smartphones. Its screen size is 2.4 inches and has a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. It’s capable of displaying over 262,000 colors which is a large jump from the 64,000 that a lot of other mobile phones try to tether you with. It also comes with autofocus and an image stabilizer function. The below is detail technical data from SonyEricsson G900:

The SonyEricsson G900 offers all of the things a normal mobile phone user would expect with the added abilities of a smartphone. But this device should be considered an entry level smartphone or for those that would like to use their phones more as actual phones with just enough smartphone so that they can do a little extra when not conversing. I hope with my review about SonyEricsson G900 usefull for us.
