SE really does need to rebuild its media player from scratch. If it's going to create thumbnails for each image/video, it needs to store this in a cache so it won't have to re-generate the content every time you load the media player.

And, there's no logic to the fact that deleting a single photo can take 10-20 seconds to 'update' before you can view/delete another one.

The C905 can play high resolution video now without stuttering, even when sending the audio over Bluetooth, so it isn't processing power - but simply shoddy coding.

I hate to think what it's going to be like now that SE is trying to push video recording more, and more people are therefore going to be managing video content on their handset.

(Using the old school file manager ends up being the best way to manage content at speed)

I bought my C905 on saturday,and yes the battery is short BUT yes it will improve from cycle to cycle,the 5800's battery in the first week was lasting 18h only...after 1 month and a half it lasted 3 days!!

And by the way,I will get a W995 when it will available + not very expensive

The C905 battery can be just fine, but use the camera a lot and it's goodbye!

I now carry a spare battery with me (I have accumulated quite a few, and SE don't have that many different types) to stop me being caught out when I use the camera a lot (with or without flash).
