Rating: 4 out of 10 (Mediocre)
Pros: Stylish look
Cons: Not so good camera
Opinion:
I wanted to upgrad my Nokia 73 ME, and did lot of RnD for 2 weeks, hoping to get a good mobile phone (i dont have a point and shoot camera) so thought of buying one good camera phone and just was fascinated because of Sony brand name, and 8.0 Mega pixel cam, (though I read the review in cnet, thought of going against it) thinking that people will have different opinion, but it proved to be 100% correct.

Key learnings.
1. Mobile phones (no matter how many mp) cant/wont be a replacement for point and shoot cameras.
2. Sony Ericsson is not good for making camera phones (to be honest, my Nokia N73 camera (3.0 MP) is far better than this one).
3. Sony is good for walkman phones, and not CAMERA PHONES.

Pros:
1. Very stylish look, I really like the look of it.

Cons:
1. Not so good camera.
2. Battery performance is very ... Read more

Beware of the catch

Jul 11, 2009

Rating: 2 out of 10 (Terrible)
Pros: Ok phone
Cons: Accessories and Sony Ericsson stunts
Opinion:
The phone is just ok but I m on my fourth charger. I don't know which genius at Sony Ericsson came up with the idea of having the connector with two really tiny pins on the charger. There are two problems with this, first the charger pins are easily damaged, second the connection to the phone is always loose so even when you think your phone is charging it actually is not and at the most critical moment you discover that, which is a huge bummer, it has happened to me many times. Also if there is some dust on the connector portion of the phone itself you have to clean it with a scraper in order for the phone to connect

Sony people are very smart. They know with this kind of stupid device they can make more money on charger sales.

Also they have propriety memory cards so that they can make you pay for ... Read more

should have been the perfect fon

May 2, 2009

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: 8.1mp, wi-fi
Cons: its like the first edition of mobile phone that introduces video call features
Opinion:
bought this phone last 2weeks. everything's perfect, 8.1mp, wi-fi and all. I'd give 10/10, but due to some cons and things that could be improve, i give it 8/10.
first of all, the upper buttons positioned too near to the lower edge of the slider, tends to hit my thumb at the edge. need to improve on that, small thing, minus 0.25, giving it 9.75/10.
competitors come out with touch phone, and c905 is quite latest, so it will be great if they added the touch specs on it. but i considered it as small thing too, minus another 0.15.
like any other 3G phone, one of the things u're looking forward to, is to video call your friends. but sony ericsson, somehow acting like new mobile company, put only 1 camera at the back. yes, you can still video call your friends by flipping front and back of the camera, or its either you can see them and they ...

Nice 8mp phone, simple and nice cybershot features

Apr 26, 2009

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: 8mp, wifi , 3G, face detection, stablizer
Cons: no Xenon flash, a tad heavy
Opinion:
i like it, just swap it with my Nokia 5800 as its clumsy and not as sensitive...after using a while, can get kind off frustrating as you keep pressing the wrong icon somehow.

Anyway, C905 is good and slightly better compare to C902 as the way the camera lens open is much easier to maneuver. moreover it has wifi ...so save a lot when surfing net with so many free hotspot.

camera is good, with many features but not your camera replacement for sure. New software update provide smile shutter which works surprisingly good.

Fantastic camera!

Mar 23, 2009

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Great camera.
Cons: A little chunky
Opinion:
Got this phone for about a week already. I love the fantastic pictures that this phone is able to capture. As usual, SE phones are user-friendly. The phone also came with easy to use instructions for uploading the latest software into the phone.
This particular model is a little chunky, but its weightiness actually helps stabilise the phone during picture-taking. The keypad is a little flat but I found that I was able to "get used" to it quite quickly. The slider function opens and closes with a solid-sounding click and so I wasn't worried that it might "spoil" anytime soon.

Battery life is quite ok (lasting 2-3 days) depending on whether wifi is used or not.

One of the best cameraphones around in the market at the moment. *thumbs up*
