The W902 also features a series of buttons down the side so that control of music is easily accessible. Auto rotate means that the media player will switch to landscape mode if the phone is held on its side. This also applies to the web browser. The W902 also features shake control, meaning the music can be changed with the flick of a wrist , as can the volume of the music. As of early 2009, the W902 has not been well publicised, and as such, there are fewer of them around, meaning they have maintained their value exceptionally well.
