Sony Ericsson - two camera phones to rule them all

By: Matt Sharp

During 2008, one company is set on shaping the universe of camera-enabled mobile phones. This phone-maker is Sony Ericsson, and they plan to dominate not just the market in high-end camera phones, but low-end ones, too!
Camera phones in history - the Sony Ericsson legacy
It's quite apt, really, that Sony Ericsson should be the ones leading the way in the coming paradigm shift amongst camera-equipped mobile phones. Come on, it was them who kicked it all off, long ago, in 2002. Let's not forget that they were the first manufacturer to release a mobile phone that had a camera built in, within the British marketplace. That mobile was the Sony Ericsson P800, but it didn't really hit the mass market in the way that Sony Ericsson wanted, because a really high-end smartphone. However, their most iconic device ever was about to be unleashed, and that one WOULD have great market penetration. It was the Sony Ericsson T610, and it really did change the game. There was a device that stood proudly over the other mobile phones it was up against. It was small, it was slim, and customers ADORED it. Plus, let's not forget that the Sony Ericsson T610 also had a built-in camera, and that it was actually the first handset to go to the mass audience, and make them go, 'Hang on, we actually do want our mobile phones to have cameras in 'em!'
Today, the market has diverged, into entry-level devices, and top-end camera-equipped mobile phones; and Sony Ericsson want to be the lings of both!
Sony Ericsson S302 - cheap, cheerful, snappy
If you want a Sony Ericsson camera phone, but you don't need a big, super-powered device, then the Sony Ericsson S302, the first phone to be announced in their whole new Snapshot series, is the perfect handset for you. It's a top little handset, with a small, sleek shell, a marvellous screen, and a funky little multimedia player. As well as that, despite this being firmly amongst the ranks of entry-level mobile phones, the Sony Ericsson S302 has got a neat little 2 megapixel camera. Ok, it doesn't have top-end features like autofocus, but since it's a budget camera phone, it's brilliant!
However, the S302 is an entry-level mobile phone... what if you need something that has real power? how about if you desire one of Sony Ericsson's Cyber-Shot line...?
Sony Ericsson C905 - the ultimate camera phone?
You just can't deny power, and one thing is for certain: the Sony Ericsson C905's got vastly more sheer power than all other mobile phones you'll come across in the UK. Why is it so special? Well, this is the first camera phone to be announced in the UK that has an 8 megapixel camera. Yup. EIGHT. That's a ridiculously big pixel count, and it means that with the Sony Ericsson C905, you have the ability to take the absolute most incredible photos you've ever seen, from any camera-equipped mobile phone, in the world. Oh, and on top of that, remember that Sony Ericsson have packed it full of Cyber-Shot awesomeness, and that's going to make the pictures coming out of it so much more beautiful. Combine that with an amazing multimedia player, WiFi, HSDPA and integrated GPS, and the end result is that the Sony Ericsson C905 is, basically, the number one!
