Chicago (IL) - Another Bond film, another Bond phone. That seems to be the trend in recent tie-ins between mobile phone manufacturers and the James Bond movie franchise. The latest to date is a special edition C902 from Sony Ericsson, tied to the upcoming Quantum of Solace movie, which is scheduled for a November release.
A special edition titanium silver version of the C902 Cyber-shot phone from Sony Ericsson will be a limited edition, according to the mobile phone company. What makes this phone also unique, compared to its more regular C902 kin, is the pre-loaded Bond content available on both the phone and also a special memory card. This content includes the first level of a new "spy-style" game, the movie trailer, behind the scenes interviews and other goodies such as wallpapers and screensavers.
Technical aspects of this phone include a built-in five-megapixel camera with slide-out cover, 160 MB of built-in storage, media playback, speakerphone, Bluetooth, your usual Internet/Web functions and a FM radio.
