List -
1.Even if the only attractive feature of this mobile is the 5 MP camera, the auto-focus fails at all conditions(indoor, outdoor, light, dark). The photos in indoor conditions (fluorescent light) are useless. You are better off with a 2.0 or 3.2 MP Nokia Mobile or Samsung Mobile.
2.Very hard to get a creative shot using this mobile. You not only have to worry about the image but also you know its not going to be a usable image. Close-up shots like of a keyboard or similar give you reddish patches in low light area of the image.
3.It is not a multitasking phone for e.g - Music and Camera do not work at the same time(my 3 year old Nokia N73 did that without a hitch).
4.Option to multiple select contacts and delete them at one go is absent. Forget about the option of having a keypad keys combination shortcut to do the same.
5.The Shortcut to Music is absent. You have to create a shortcut till Media and browse to music and play the file.
6.Auto-generated play-lists like "Recently Added Songs","Most Played Songs" are absent.
7. You listen to a song and like to set it as ringtone, you can not set it there. You have to set it in
Settings -> Sounds -> Ringtone-> Ringtones -> Artist -> Album -> Song. I think I am going to have a fixed ringtone the rest of the time I have this mobile.
8. If you are listening to a song and want to add it to a play-list in C903, you are holding the wrong phone. It seems this is a advanced feature and you cant have that here. You have to create a play-list and browse the songs. This makes me want to bite screen off the mobile.
9. While applying themes, one can not preview it before applying. We have to apply a theme(it takes its own sweet time in doing so) and see if you like it.
10. If you are using the phone to listen music while walking, the C903 is the king of inconvenience. The earphone jack is in the side, volume buttons in the side are a pain to use. Remember these also act as next and previous keys. So the easy way to play the next track is to step aside, take out the mobile from your pocket, unlock the phone and use the keypad to play the next track.
11. The only thing thing this is good at is at gifting it to someone who does not use the phone to do any thing else other than making phone calls (parents) or to someone whom you do not want to do anything else(siblings).
12. I never understand why Sony never uses standard stuff like earphone jack and micro SD. Looks like they want their customers to get accessories from their brand only. This is bad.
13. Talking of the PC Suite Software, there is no music compression tool available which is standard stuff in others. Saving pics using the software is absent. You have to browse to the specific folder and to make matters worse you cannot get a thumbnail view of images there. This is irritating to say the least.
14. You get a missed call and view it "View Events" as this is the screen u are shown when there is a missed call. But wait the missed call symbol does not go. You have to visit the "All Calls" to make it go.
15. You open a message in "Inbox" and want to view the next message. This basic stuff is also absent. You have to go too the list screen and select the next message.
16. You want to Edit the Song name. Do it before loading it into the phone because this facility is also absent.
This list seems endless and is in the process of update. My dislike for this phone is changing to hatred for Sony Ericsson products.
