Sony Ericsson C905 Cyber-shot

The Sony Ericsson C905 is the latest in the long line of Cybershot phones, fabled for their apparently ability to pack in more technology to their cameras than any other make of phone. When I got hold of one of these in March 2008 it was an absolutely top end phone that you could only get for free on high tariffs, and cost an arm and a leg if you decide to opt for it on Pay As You Go. Six months down the line it has become slightly more affordable, ...
...word of warning here though- Sony Ericsson phones do seem to be more complicated and less intuitive than Nokia or Samsung phones. Not to the point where if you've never used a SE you won't ever get it, but you will need practice. It's like taking the step up from Duplo blocks to Lego- you know functionally it works the same and you'll get it before long, it's just more intricate and you'll need practice. So stick with it, because as daunting as it ...

Review of Sony Ericsson C905 Cyber-shot

...I decided to get the Sony Ericsson C905 but this time I had no 14 day returns policy so I had to be sure that it was going to be a good one! Sony Ericsson are a long established name in making mobile phones. Back in the day when they were separate entities the phones made by these companies were regarded to be very good for the time. More recently they have focused on varying ranges in their mobile phones. The two main types of rages are the 'C' ...
...'R', 'S' and 'T'. The Sony Ericsson C905 is therefore a Cybershot phone and its main selling point is its 8.1 Megapixel camera. Design Looking at the phone from the outside it certainly looks very attractive. It is a slide phone with the keypad being hidden underneath. On the front you are presented with a 2.4" screen which is big enough for the phone. Below that on the left hand side of the phone are three buttons; shortcut menu, call and a shortcut ...

Review of Sony Ericsson C905 Cyber-shot

...to return to old faithful Sony Ericsson. You know what are you are getting with Sony and despite being unimpressed by my wife's Sony K850i I fell in love with my C905 from the minute it landed on my doorstep. This is a phone that goes back to basics. After owning numerous flawed touch screen or semi-touch screen devices it is an absolute joy to get back to some good old fashioned buttons. Not a single touch screen function in sight (unlike the weird ...
...the style of many of Sony and it's competitors other efforts. Despite being a slide phone it is quite definitely a brick and is one of the heavier phones I have owned. However, what it sacrifices in looks it more than makes up for in functionality. It would appear that this C series of phones may well have replaced the previously successful K series with this being, at time of writing, the newest Cybershot phone available. Sony have always been different ...

Review of Sony Ericsson C905 Cyber-shot

...the C905 after having a Sony Ericsson Xperia. Depending on how well you know your Sony Ericssons, you will know that they are two completely different phones. I found the Xperia cumbersom and didn't meet my needs in terms of imaging. So, I decided to purchase a C905. The handset itself looks good. There are a lot of phones out there that I think are quite functional, but lack the looks. Whilst it's not the most mind-blowing phone looks-wise, I do ...
...operating system is the standard Sony Ericsson firmware, as you would find on most other non-Symbian Sony Ericsson models. Therefore, any previous user will know their way around the menus and settings quite easily. There are a few settings that first time users may find a bit daunting, however these are rarely functions that are used by people who simply want a phone to do calls, messaging and imaging. The screen, whilst it's not the biggest at ...

Review of Sony Ericsson C905 Cyber-shot

...as I have always loved Sony phones mainly because the camera was of such good quality. The phone has many features such as a 8mp camera, bluetooth, infa red, a interlink with your computer, a radio, email capability, picture msging, games, video capture etc. It also comes with the option to submit items via youtube or use the gps that is integrated on the phone. Unfortunately however the GPS isn't free and you end up paying around £5 a month for ...
...system. The camera quality is very good and the camera itself has many features such as scene mode, flash/red eye/no flash, auto focus, smile detection etc and the pictures do come out very well. The video capture offers you the chance to get quite a lengthy film including sound which is good for a phone. However there is no option to rotate the videos and many times the videos end up the wrong way when you upload them onto a PC. The phone itself ...

Review of Sony Ericsson C905 Cyber-shot

The latest in the Sony Ericson Cybershot range, the C905 is the best yet. I have had experience with all previous phones in the range, however this phone is the best of the bunch, and in my opinion the best camera phone on the market today. The phone boasts a range of features including its 8.1mp camera in its sleek and smart casing. Look and feel Although this phone is slightly on the large size because of accommodating the large camera lens, it ...
...in keeping with the distinctive Sony Ericsson style. The quality of the construction is evident, this is shown in the detailing, and the engraving on the Camera shutter is of very high quality along with the shutter mechanism. The phone is also very well designed ergonomically; the buttons are well spaced apart and clear, including the specific camera buttons. This is the first Sony Ericsson slider design Cybershot phone. This works well, ensuring ...

Review of Sony Ericsson C905 Cyber-shot

Well Sony Ericsson hav done it again. Yet another phone where the main feature is it's photographic capability. With an 8.1 megapixal camera you are gauranteed to be able to take that perfect snapshot when out and about. I suppose it's a concept that makes sense. I'm sure most of us take our mobile phones everywhere with us and the majority of us would be lost without it, so why not include a feature that allows you to leave the digital camera at ...
...old phone which was the Sony Ericsson K850i, but comes in a nice icy silver colour. It's essentially a slide phone which I've never been too keen on in the past and I find that the screen is very prone to finger print markings as you are constantly pushing up on it with your thumb. The key pad is located underneath the facia but you can answer calls and read messages without having to slide the phone up. The charging connection is located on the ...

Review of Sony Ericsson C905 Cyber-shot

sony ericsson have a bit of a reputation these days for making high quality camera phones or walkmans. This is beginning ot change, with the newest range of SE phones being masters of all trades :) with the c905, its has a crackin 8mp camera with a xenon flash, but more importantly it has a 16million colour screen, so you can actually VIEW the pictures properly on the phone. *NOTE* when looking for a phone camera, megapixel isnt too important unless ...
...walkman, but a set of sony ericsson travel speakers are easy to come by, and will give you brilliant sound with a good camera to boot :) internet on this phone is very speedy, with 3G speeds, EDGE, HSDPA etc so all the downloads you can manage. it also comes with wifi, to save you some extra pennies. BATTERY battery on all SE phones is pretty good, with this one you are looking at about 5hours average talktime and about 350 hours standby, which ...

Review of Sony Ericsson C905 Cyber-shot

I have had a few Cyber-shot phones over the years, and this is by far the worst. I was impressed with the phone to start with. The camera was great and the phone had some new and interesting features, such as a sat nav. However, after a couple of months things started to go wrong. The phone has been sent back for repair three times to date: # 1. The phone would not charge. It was sent off for repair, but as nothing could be done to fix it, I was ...
...phone froze, and turned itself off in the middle of use. When I tried to turn in back on and enter my pin, I couldn't progress pass this stage. Again, phone sent in for repair and sent back in working order. # 3. Certain buttons on the keypad ceased to work, again sent back to o2 and again "repaired" I am about to take it back for the fourth time, as the battery is depleting rapidly, even when it is not being used, and it regularly freezes and turns ...

I got this for a birthday presant on the 10th of feb and i have abouslutly loved it. The camra on it is outstanding and better than some digital camras. i dont no weather they all come witha memory card but mine did, this mean it can hold twice as much. i must admt it forze once and to unfreeze it i had to take out the battery to get it back on. even though it is slighty on the large side it is very classy and i am defaintly not ahsmaed to get it ...

Review of Sony Ericsson C905 Cyber-shot

I recieved this as a birthday present about 9 months ago. When i first got it i was very pleased to have one of teh latest phones and teh first 8mp camera phone as well. I was shocked to see the retail price online which was £391 on carphonewarehouse. To be honest this phone does not provide much for the price you have to pay. The price has probably gone down now but still i believe there are a lot better phones available now. The camera is very ...
...The flash is superb and works well at day and night. Everything else is just about basic or ok. The navigation is slow and unresponsive, the video quality is not bad. Wifi streaming is poor and slow. The screen is not as bright compared to a N95 which shows videos and images a lot clearer. Althought the phone is bulky and heavey, it still looks stylish. The applicatiosn are rubbish even though there is a motion senser feature available for games. ...

...about to upgrade to the Sony Erricson C905 but, two weeks later i began to regret my decision.. Since November 2008 I have had 8 replacement phones due to 'common faults'. For absolutely no reason the phone would just stop working properly. Some of these faults included a blank screen, the language serttings changing to chinese (obviously this was an issue as i cannot read this language), displaying 'please use sony erricson charger' when i plug ...
...Although I do not have the option to change my C905 for a different model, I sometimes think to myself 'would i realy want to?', I personally like Sony Erricsons and find them easy to use. After all when it's working properly, it is actually a very good phone. ...

Overall, an excellent phone. i think that it is a really nice phone, and although it is slightly thicker than some models, it is still fairly small and lightweight, and i honestly can say that this is my favourite phone out of any that i have seen, and for me, who uses it to take a lot of pictures, it is excellent. ...
