As said in My Ideas 4 You, the new Sony Ericsson C903 will arrive on Tuesday. Credit to 3 Mobile customer services for being able to offer such a good deal to ensure that existing customers stay with them. I was a bit reluctant to switch over to Virgin Mobile. After all, 3 Mobile offers free 300 minutes 3-to-3 calls, free Skype and free MSN. In addition, registering Virgin Mobile will mean that I have to call my bank to stop the direct debit connection to 3 Mobile and also setting up a new direct debit connection to Virgin Mobile. Now that my worries are over, let’s take a look at Sony Ericsson C903 specifications.

Some things to note
It is weird that Sony Ericsson C903 does not come with a secondary camera for video calls. On the other hand, it has a tracker sports application which allows users to track their training progress. It is able to record the speed, distance, route and calories during the training. According to GSM Arena, when the tracker sports application is started, it will start looking for available satellites. Cool!

As this will be a 3 Mobile phone, I am wondering if the applications listed will be available. Furthermore, some forums said that new 3 Mobile phones are no longer locked. Till then, I will only be able to comment more after Sony Ericsson C903 arrives.
