(More customer reviews)The C905 is the latest addition to the Sony Ericsson Cybershot range. Somewhat bulky but not too heavy, the black plastic chassis is coated with a rubber finish to give you a better grip of the phone. The spring loaded sliding mechanism and the brushed metal sliding camera lens cover are impressive, but the strangely shaped battery cover along with the bolted-on sim holder makes removing the (u)sim card a bit of a hassle.
The interface of the C905 hasn't evolved much from its predecessors (C902, K850, etc), so if you're a seasoned Sony Ericsson user, you would have no problem using this phone straight out of the box.
The first thing you'd notice about this phone is the fact it's both GPS and WIFI enabled (B&G only). Although nothing new, these two features have been missing from most high-end SE phones released between 2007-2008, whereas you can find them on most of Nokia's N-Series and E-Series phones. The GPS feature uses Google Map, which requires connection to the internet to download the required map to the phone. Therefore, you might want to sign up for an unlimited data plan with your service provider if you're going to use this feature heavily.
I'm not sure at this point whether you can download the map through the phone's WIFI receiver, but it seems that the phone will connect to the internet automatically the second you turn on the google map application. There's an option to turn off the GPS receiver, but no option to turn off the internet connection.
The multimedia features of the C905 are not worth mentioning, mostly because they are the same as those you'd find on C902, K850 and K810. The only thing worth mentioning here is the fact that SE has increased the resolution of the built-in camera to a whopping 8.1 megapixel, which generates picture files that are around 2 Megabyte each. The internal available memory of the phone is only around 106 Megabyte, so if you snap alot of photographs on the go, you may want to buy additional memory cards to store them. The Sony Ericsson website claims that the phone will handle memory stick micro cards up to 8GB in size, and my Sandisk 8GB card seems to work well with the phone.
The pictures look good on the phone screen but tend to be a little noisy at full view even when shooting under daylight conditions, but is generally good enough to produce very sharp A3 prints. The xenon flash produces bright and rich colours but is a little weak (according to SE you can only shoot a subject from about four steps away), but is more than adequate to beat those models that come with LED flashes.
The supplied battery is amazingly small but has a power rating of 930mah, which is more than ample for 3 hours worth of calls.
The C905, is it a phone with a built-in camera or is it a pocket-sized camera with a quadband transceiver? One thing's for sure, it's definately an upgrade over the C902 (minus the touch screen feature) and the K850 as it takes impromptu photography to a whole new level with the large 8.1 mp sensor.
