Last year i heard a rumour about the C905 coming out with its 8.1 mp camera...which for me was the selling point. I decided to upgrade early, even though this meant me paying £100 plus VAT (17.5% at the time) i thought it would be well worth it. The phone istelf is amazing, it looks nice, feels nice and the quality of the screen is immaculate. I opted for the black as this is a matt finish, the silver is more shining and very light in colour. The camera which is probably its selling point has no faults whatsoever. Im still unsure of how to use the Wifi, so if buying this phone i would recomend you ask the sales assistant as ive now realised i should have!
The only problem i had with this phone...and sadly one i had 3 times in a row...is that the microphone is prone to going bust. It would all of a sudden just go quiet and you would be unable to hear the person on the other end of the line. This is easily solved though as Orange (my phone provider) did a 28 day policy to replace the phone if it broke. After taking advantage of this twice, my cancel button then became stuck and i was unable to use it. You can imagine how frustrating that is when your writing a text and spell something wrong and have to start all over again! This was also easily fixed though aslong as you have insurance. Im pretty sure that was just a faulty batch though as nothing has gone wrong with my phone now.
Top phone.
