As we head towards the end of the year, one company is intent on moulding the world of camera-enabled mobile phones. This manufacturer is Sony Ericsson, and they are determined to dominate not just the world in top-end camera phones, but bottom-end ones, as well!
Camera phones in history - the Sony Ericsson legacy
It's fitting, really, that Sony Ericsson are the ones at the forefront of the coming paradigm shift in camera-equipped mobile phones. Come on, it was them who kicked it all off, way back in 2002. Lest we forget, they were the first manufacturer to unleash a mobile phone that'd got a camera in it, in the UK. That phone was the Sony Ericsson P800, but it didn't get the mass market penetration Sony Ericsson wanted, because an amazingly (compared to other mobile phones at the time) top-end smartphone. But, their most iconic device ever was about to be unleashed, and that one DID have great market penetration. That was the Sony Ericsson T610, and it changed the playing field. Here was a phone that stood proudly over the rival mobile phones around it. It was small, it was sexy, and people went MENTAL for it. The key thing was... the Sony Ericsson T610 had also got a built-in camera, and that it was actually the first mobile to go to that mass audience, and make them say, 'Hang on, we really do want our mobile phones to have cameras in 'em!'
Today, the market has diverged, into entry-level handsets, and high-end camera-equipped mobile phones; well, it's fair to say that Sony Ericsson want to dominate both!
Sony Ericsson S302 - get snappin'
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 come from their whole new Snapshot line, is absolutely perfect for you. It's a brilliant little handset, with a small, sexy shell, a gorgeous screen, and a groovy little multimedia browser. In addition to that, in spite of 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 considering that it's a budget snapper, it's brilliant!
However, that's a budget mobile phone... what if you want a handset with some real muscle? how about if you want one of Sony Ericsson's Cyber-Shot series...?
Sony Ericsson C905 - the ultimate camera phone?
There's no denying power, and something is for definite: the Sony Ericsson C905's got loads and loads more sheer power than all other mobile phones you can get in the UK. And why is that? Well, this is the first camera phone to be unveiled in the UK with an 8 megapixel camera. That's right. EIGHT. That's a frighteningly huge pixel count, and it means that with the Sony Ericsson C905, you have the ability to take the absolute most jaw-dropping photos you've ever experienced, from any camera-equipped mobile phone, ever. Oh, and of course, don't forget that Sony Ericsson have amped it up with Cyber-Shot brilliance, and that will make the images it produces so much more unbelievable. Add in a top of the range multimedia browser, WiFi, HSDPA and built-in GPS, and the end result is that the Sony Ericsson C905 is, basically, the top of the heap!
