nothing?




Get the c905, when the c905a comes out sell your c905 and get the "a" version. No point on missing out on all the other great points of this phone apart from 3g.

Does anyone know when the C905A will be released?
thanks I finally decided to wait for the A version


From the SE website:
"The C905 Cyber-shot™ will be available in three colours (Night Black, Ice Silver and Copper Gold) in selected markets from Q4 2008. It will support the following networks:
C905: GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 UMTS/HSDPA 2100.
C905a: GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 UMTS/HSDPA 850/1900/2100
C905c: GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900.


I just found out that the "a" version is not officially listed for the USA, only central and south america.

You can get it from Plemix.com but I'm not sure if they have the C905a so you'll need to ring them first. They are trusted by esato members and regularly post mini reviews of new phones.

The C905a cleared the FCC today, so hopefully it'll be available for purchase soon... I think the C905 was purchasable within a week of it clearing FCC.

does anyone in the usa have the C905i?
how is the Edge speed? since we cant get 3G yet?
was it able to handle voice while still connected to internet?

Hows the GPS?

thank guys I hope this is not to much too ask. I am sick of waiting for the C905a I think I'll just get the golden C905i

C905a now officially listed for US availability in English and Spanish versions.

Definately get the a version. The i will be so much slower. HSDPA on both versions is capable of 3.6 Mbps maximum speeds. EDGE won't satisfy at all.

This getting a little ridiculous for us in the states that need the"a" version. Was cleared by FCC 12-11-08 and most phones are available within 2 weeks of being cleared. Wonder what the problem is.....?
