Frances is C903
MainPublished January 23, 2009 at 12:16 pm by Max
Frances is new Cyber-shot branded slider phone with 5-Megapixels camera and autofocus. Now you should call it as C903, because it is official model name of this phone. Frances has pretty good design (not copy-paste). It has 320×240 pixels 2.4″ TFT screen. One of the main imaging features is active lens cover. The same style of lens cover as in cameras from Sony. Also it has basic tehnologies from Cyber-shot phones: PhotoFix, Face Detection, Smile Shutter, etc. C903 also has aGPS. Frances will be announced at the MWC on the 15th of February. Release date of C903 will be in the end of Q2 2009. If you have some questions about Frances, you can publish a comment, and I will try to give you the answer.
Anything known about available colors on release?
@Calypso On release will be available only two colours.
C903 is simple edition of C905?
Have it WI-FI?
Hi. Francis looks decent, but why 9** index?
Is there any news about it’s size, and or looks, colours?
Thanks in advance!
Does it has a video call camera?
Does it has Wi-Fi?
Will be the xenon in this phone? How much will it cost?
@HCJ Yes, C903 is simple edition of C905.
@Ron Jeremy Correct sizes will be available after announcement. C903 has two colours at launch.
@samehada95 Nope, it doesn’t have Wi-Fi.
@Andrew Not sure about the xenon flash. Of cource, price will be will be lower, than C905′s price.
Can you publish more pics of this phone?
Max, can you please post a pic of the backside?
I have to say the design is boring. Just like other slider phones from SE
Copy&paste
@Andrew & murderjon More pics will be available later.
@koky Copy & paste? From what phone?
Can you comment about tag price? Hope it about USD200?
@Hoang It’s too early to talk about price, because release will be only in the end of Q2 2009. In my personal opinion, price will be ~ $300.
Copy&Paste from “W960″ spiker and from C905
@koky C905? Don’t think so. Only screen is same, as in C905 (2.4″ inches).
I think that u should not reveal all the product before announcement.
wt Copy&paste!!!study design before comment!
no wifi!!!!!nooo
this is a problem
The nine in C903 indicates high-end right? How much memory might it come with because don’t Nokia’s high-end phones come with A LOT of memory? What Nokia phones should this compete directly with?
this looks promising from SE,i hope it has zenon flash and is affordable,coz c905 wasn’t
if turns out as it looks,it will give competiton to n-series
C901(5MP)-C902(5MP)-C903(5MP)-C905(8MP)
Where is the “C904″(?)?
In my opinion ,C903 looks like either Nokia N85 or N81.
Has Sony Ericsson lost its initiality?
The design do inherit from other phone. If you are sharp enough. You will know which phone. Not fully copy and paste but copy and improved.
I see Copy&Paste Phone ;-( ;-( ;-(
@ duda
I can’t see a copy & paste phone, because this is a new device of SE!
@ Steven Y.
SE dont use numbers with “4″, because this number brings misfortune in Japan.
How many phones will be publish in Barcelona, Maximys?
I absolutly agry with hamed!! You should not publish information almost about all the phones before its official announcement on the exhibition!! It’s so boring!! AND EVEN DON’T TRY TO DO IT WITH HIKARU!! IT IS THE MOST INTRESTING AND INCREDIBLE PREMIER! What do I think about C903? It really has outstanding desing, style, especially back side! It’s awsome! That is I’ve been dreamed about! I think it is sucssessful model, all about price…
@murderjon So how can you explain the Sony Ericsson W64S?
Yu know this phone being only sold in Japan and there is a “4″ in it. :-S
