My second sony ericsson phone!! The SONY ERICSSON C905 which i have had since december 2008 and so far so good! Best features are as follows: * 8.1 megapixel camera * * built in xenon flash * * face detection * * wi-fi * * auto rotate * * media player * * track ID * * Bluetooth * * Games * * GPS * * Slide * * video * Which are to name a few! The phone also includes CALENDAR thats does pretty much what it says giving you the days, months and year ect, also enabling you to put in reminders. THEMES are also included (which are pretty dudey by the way) PODCASTS so you can put a series of digital files on your phone which i find quite useful to record myself (revising for school work ) outloud and play it back over and over again, WORLD CLOCK 3D that tells you the time around the world, PHOTO DJ where you can edit photos for different lighting, contrast or colour, SLIDESHOW WALL where the phone just goes through all the photos automatically and randomly by itself, GAMES including my favourite Pac Man! ALARMS, VIDEO CALL, TASKS, NOTES, SYNCHRONISATION, TIMER, STOPWATCH, CALCULATOR and CODE MEMO.
I am more of a camera person than a music person when it comes to mobile phones which is why i chose the "sony ericsson c905". The camera is just as good (if not better) than most digital cameras and i have been very happy with it. The flash enables me to take photos in night clubs so i do not have problems taking photos anywhere really. I make use of majority of the gadgets on the phone but there are a few which I don't use like TRACKID.
The appearance of the phone is stylish and modern. It is slide with a fairly big screen of 2.4". The weight of the phone is 136grams and so is fairly heavey and some may say as bulky, but it depends as i have had smallish phones in the past and i did not think this phone suit my pretty small hands and frame however it has grown on me and i would notice if someone tried to steal it out of my handbag or pocket!
I wouldnt say there are any problems with the phone, however i have had to take it into repair once as the speaker stoppped working and i was unable to hear people on the phone! Not sure whether i had a faulty phone, or whether it was my fault as i will be honest, i have dropped it on the floor a few times :/
Overall, however, a phone which has all the main key features and depending on the colour (mine is black) has no scratches on it, i even use the screen as a mirror now and again.
