How can it be increasing in price more than a year after it's been released?

c905 photo-quality with proper firmware, wipe C901 back to stoneage. (without a doubt)

C905 colour rendition is way better.....(C901 produce often to milky colours, but also often very sharp pictures, so thats good).....but in the end C905 is a better cellphone

plankgatan r u just a peron who likes c905 and hates c901 or do u really know what u r talking about

oh and by c901 i also meant greenheart version they have difrernt scores i suppose they r different phones

cex.com c905 for about £100 oh and i messed up different in previous post

yeah used but for 100 quid its good price for a phone in mint condition oh yes i have seen it at the shop(cex) dont forget not only the camera that matters also the features and the quality any other phones as an advice?

i would also appreciate a list of good and bad points and advices which to pick if owned both phones

does the extra 3 mp make a big difference or not? does c901 have x16 zoom?

i have lots of questions i need lots of answers is the xenon different on both phones?

are you trying to say that C901 have stable and beautiful colour rendition ????
30-50% of all c901 pictures I see have some kind of milky colours, (and yes many pictures looks great to, BUT its way to unequal).

(i really give a damn which cellphone model it is).............I just look inside the C901 picture thread and then I look inside the C905 picture thread, then i make my opinion.

Every knows plank hates the c901 because people c6paqe it to the c902 which he loves. Listen to advice that isnt biased, look at comparison raider showed you.
I own c901, I wont talk BS the camera on the c905 is better with the original driver but they are similiar but c905 with dm 3.8 would be a very good camera if you r willing to pay extra for c905 it has beter

don't pay attention on Plank, otherwise you have to believe that all pictures taken with C905 are great which is not true of course don't believe that all pictures from C901 are great, sometimes shit happens but it's not like Plank said

plank is stubborn about his observations of quality,.
i have seen the "milky colors" comment more than ten times, he knows there is manual saturation but i wouldn't bother showing very saturated photos to him because he would ignore them.
Also, you cant tell camera quality from "post picture" threads for certain, you can get an idea. They are all taken by different people with different skills in taking photos in different lighting conditions and locations. When you look through those threads you see some people can take brilliant pics whilst others are boring with dull or "milky " colors depending on the position/source and type of light on the subject you are photographing.

I haven't used the C905 but have read about it.
review: http://www.mobile-phones-uk.org.uk/sony-ericsson-c905.htm

If you are just wanting a camera - buy the C905 and mod it with DM 3.8, if you did that it would be one of the best cameras
But the C905 is bulky and expensive, keys are meant to be bad and its meant to crash a lot. Thats what people say anyway

the C901 is a lot smaller and i use it as phone and camera, its good at both but camera not as good as C905.
For me, the c901 just needs shutter speeds then its perfect

They both have xenon and 16x digital zoom

If i had the money i would get an old battered C905 for a cheap price and mod the camera, then run around taking pics with it, and compare with my C901

for camera only - i would go c905
for camera and phone - i would do c901

I didn't choose C905 because it was too expensive still, so c901 is half the price so i chose that. but if all you want is cam then go for it

Read reviews and make up your own mind, try them both if you can

research it it all depends on how much you are willing to spend, what do you want a good camera or a good phone? The k800i has a very good camera. DM 3.8 isnt asked for in the shop you put it on yourself by 'hacking' inside the phones fs.

btw, edit posts instead of posting about 10
