Motorola is out of ideas and the market is now being shared by Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Samsung and LG. Motorola will have to be more creative than this in order to attract customers and gain its mobile phone share in the market.
The Box
The box is small and that is because it contains little accessories even though Sony Ericsson C903 has huge capabilities. The standard accessories are a Sony Ericsson C903 phone, a stereo portable handsfree, a battery, a charger and a simple manual guide. There is no USB cable, memory card or TV-out cable. My MP3 player’s manual guide is thicker than Sony Ericsson C903’s manual guide is.
Initially, my final decision was on Kensington Universal FM Transmitter. However, I was reluctant to make the order. It was 30% off on Amazon but I could not find any reviews on the internet except Amazon’s user reviews. The price was right at £17.99 with free delivery and the brand is well-known but it can only be connected to a MP3 player. One of the concerns that I have with FM transmitter that can only be connected to a MP3 player is that the sound quality might be affected by the audio cable connector. If the audio cable supplied were not able to connect properly, the sound would be distorted. Of course, I will not be expecting CD quality sound but at least something audible on my standard.
TeckNet FM29A was about £1 less than Kensington. No reviews could be found on the internet either except Amazon’s user reviews. As usual with all other reviews at Amazon, there will always be users complaining as well as complimenting. I read carefully on each review and finally decided on this FM transmitter. It can be connected to a MP3 player and also a SD card and a thumb drive. In addition, it comes with a remote control.
