Just tried out the Tracker app on a short walk, and either it or the GPS functionality is pretty poor.
The Tracker app on my C702 works great, shows me my current walking speed and distance etc. fine, but on the C905 it seems 'jerky' - says I'm walking at 0mph for a few seconds, then 10-11mph as it catches up before reverting to 0 again. On the C702 it reads between 3-4mph, my typical walking speed.
Don't know if this is just my phone but the Tracker's functioning on the C905 is pretty bad, dissapointed after seeing it added that it doesn't work properly - or that the GPS on the new firmware is buggy.

I'd expect another firmware release sooner rather then later tbh.
Look at past Cyber-sho phone, they've all had in the rgion of 5-8 firmwares.
Up to now, this is technically 3/4 Depending on CDA etc.
I still think improvements will come in future releases. |

GAH
on my 4th c905 today, replaced so kindly by Orange
The slider is so wobbly every time I push the browser buttons on the front it wobbles up and down very annoyingly. I cannot believe it.
Its a 08w44, the last one I had was perfect but it had the earpiece fault.
This is getting beyond anything I can cope with.

Sounds like your having similar problems to me, looks like the latest firmware has borked the GPS up
Liking everything else about the phone and latest update though (apart from the slightly wobbly slider)

5th time lucky now for me.
Orange have been very VERY good about this. I now have a 08w44 black c905 that is completely solid, none of the phones I had before we close to this solid, the slider actually feels right, the camera slider is also tight in a nice way, all the buttons press right.
Everything works (touches wood), the only thing I can see going wrong is the dreaded earpiece, but I hope not as this is the best handset I've ever had.
I knew they made a few good ones!

My C905 has developed a button fault and the top button has become stiff on the D pad.
The camera keeps flicking on in texts and it's very slow loading.
I guess it's yet more faults? all this and my earpiece has gone twice.
Time to say goodbye to the C905 any good alternatives? |

I feel very honoured to have a fully working one..
This actually feels the way I'd expect a new piece of equipment to feel.
IT TOOK 5 PHONES!
I feel really bad for all the people who have shoddy handsets and who are finding it too hard to replace/repair them at SE's cost.

At least no reports of BROD or similar stuff have surfaced on Esato. But yeah, it's a pity that it took like 5 handsets for you mate.

When I got my first c905 Orange were only offering 1 months 24hr replacement guaranty. Now that has been extended to 6 months.. I wonder if this is with this particular model only.
SE must be getting a lot of shit from networks worldwide right about now.
