The Sony Ericsson G900 sports a slim form factor which reminds you of older models such as the T310 and the T600. The unit I have is a red and black design with textured grey lining on the side which adds to the classic appeal of the phone. Examining the right side of the phone you’d find the camera button on the lower part, the screen lock key on the middle and the volume control on the top most part of the side. While at the top is the power button. On the other side of the phone, you’d find the stylus which is tucked firmly in its slot. And a little lower is the USB or FastPort which with a LED indicator below which lights up in green when the phone is charging and red when the phone’s battery is running low. In the inner side, if you take out the battery cover, you’d find the memory stick micro slot.

At the upper back portion of the phone, you’d find the 5MP main camera with the Flash above it which also serves as a Flash light. The Sony Ericsson G900 also has a secondary camera which is located above the LCD screen. This is used for video calls. Below the main camera is a speaker which you can use when playing ringtone. You’d also notice a slightly protruding ridge below the speaker which is used to let the sound out even if the phone is lying on its back.

Going back to the front of the phone, we go now to the phone’s numeric keypad. The Sony Ericsson G900’s keypad features your usual mobile phone keypad. Above it is your usual “back” button on the right side of the navigational wheel, while on the left side is your usual “C” button. The phone’s navigational wheel is used for controlling all the phone’s functions especially if you’re not fond of using the phone’s touchscreen features. Above these two buttons are quick keys for messaging and opening the notes function.
