James Bond/Sony C902: Not A Car Remote Control
Not content with turning Casino Royale into the most product placement filled extravaganza since some other film full of product placement, Sony Ericsson will be continuing the James Bond love-in by releasing a limited edition C902 Titanium mobile phone.
Out in November to coincide with the release of the 22nd Bond movie Quantum of Solace, the new phone will be equipped with gadgets fit for MI6’s finest:
- a single level (WOW!) from a spy-style game. The rest? You’ll be paying for that.
- screensavers, wallpapers, and all manner of Bond-y stuff on a memory card.
- it’s titanium! Coloured!
So this phone which will commemorate the biggest gadget freak ever committed to celluloid, a man whose watch was also a steel cutting laser, who rocked an awesome jetpack, whose car turned into a submarine, has no special gimmicks beyond a dynamic screensaver.
The rest of the 5 megapixel snapper’s specs are largely identical, a good handset but not compatible with microfilm, which is disappointing.
Sony needs more good product placement like that guy in the Living Daylights who killed people with a Walkman. He was awesome. Also, where is my real James Bond phone which is also binoculars and gun and an electromagnet to take a sassy, strong, yet hopelessly smitten woman’s dress off?
Q would be ashamed.

[...] What, no Xperia? It took nearly as long for the X1 to come to market as this movie took to make, so it could have easily snuck in there… I guess that nice limited edition boxset needs to sell some more C902s. [...]
Well said.
