Posted this elsewhere but had no joy. Has anyone else having any problems in getting GPS to work? I'm on UK Vodafone, unlocked and unbranded handset, and Wayfinder will not connect to the internet.
All my other net applications work, Opera Mini, and Google Maps connects too, but Wayfinder won't! Any one got any ideas?
I've selected my Contract wap settings as the internet connection, but still no joy.

Yes. explained the whole situation to a rather clueless chap on the other end, who then sent me an email guide on how to use the Vodafone branded Navigation software. Which I don't have!

Used my Panasonic TZ-5 for pictures of the phone, and the C905 for eveything else.

It's strange because I've selected the same settings as everything else, but it still doesn't work 
Maybe I selected something wrong by mistake when I first opened it, so perhaps a full reset would work. But then again, I might lose the app after that. Hmmm....

Can someone please tell me if they have been able to use the DLNA feature with a PS3 or XBOX 360 also I believe WMP11 would be able to detect the C905 on the network as well. To my knowlage this is the first phone that does this and no one seems to be taking advantage of it.
This would be great if someone could poist there experience with this feature
thanks in advance.
No problem to use the DNLA with a PS3. Have not tryed with WMP11.
Have tried with WMP11, but only with cable and works fine. I cant find any info on Wifi connection to WMP11 |

So I have had the phone for a little over 24 hours, I am quite pleased thus far, so here is my mini review. I also posted this over at HF.
Build Quality
Almost perfect build quality, probably not as solid as k790/k800 but the materials are so similar, especially that rubber backing which I missed so much, I'm ecstatic it's back. It's not nearly the smudge magnet that the c902/k850i/k550i are, as examples.
The slider
Yes the two parts of the phone do move slightly when the phone is closed or open but it's not something that bugs me, sort of reminds me of how the lens cap moved on my k790i.
Buttons
I am getting used to the buttons, they're better then the ones on my k550i but I wish they were the k790/k800 buttons, but it's not that big a deal.
Camera
The camera is awesome, screw those that keep telling me "if you want to take real photos you should get a real camera" when I was upset with c902's pic quality. The camera on the c905 is real quick to use, just like the k790/k800, but the quality is just light years ahead, the flash is great as well. It FEELS like a camera. You do have to be careful not to cover the sensor on the left hand side of the camera though, I have a couple of foggy photos because of that.
WiFI
The WiFi worked great at my house, although to be quite honest since I'm using Opera anyways it is marginally faster to load pages then with Edge and Opera, both are pretty darned quick.
GPS
I walked around the neighborhood with the GPS, I can't get wayfinder to work, but Google Maps with GPS shows me my exact location, first time GPS user here so it's kind of neat.
UI
Fast, stable and smart just like other SE phones, faster then any SE phone I have had including c902. The themes are nice, especially the dusk one. I have had 4 programs running at once, no memory issues, no slowdown, in fact the firmware seems to be ROCK solid. So I don't see a k850i repeat.
Have I missed anything? Oh yeah, the music player, I won't really play with that until I get my 16gb card to go with it. :hehehe: I played the need for speed game, and you turn corners by moving the entire phone, as we've seen in those iPod touch commercials. Anyone need anymore info I will let you know.

From GSM Arena
"It's just a minor wobble, which we would've let go in a slider, if it wasn't for the terrible squeaking any time you as much as brush it against your ear. This completely rules out taking calls with the slider down."
I have not found that to be the case at all with mine, I have no squeaking with my phone although I do have a little wobble if I check for the wobble (doesn't do it otherwise), I have had the slider down many times taking calls and it's fine on mine. |
