What version number is the Google Maps on the SE handsets?
So if I have geo-tagging activated in the Cybershot App it will geotag with just the Cell Information if GPS is not turned on? |

I've got my C905 yesterday, very nice phone. Much faster as C902, bigger display, GPS and WiFi.
This is a keeper..... |

I felt no bigger difference between them. both phones had good speed and run smothly. I do agree thats a big nice screen c905 has.
I saw some compare pictures between Renoir, Innov8, c905 and got surprised how better Renoir and Innov8 was.
hope Sonyericsson go back to Nr.1 in camera-quality (like the old days) with their next upcoming cameraphones.

Well. I think that the drivers in the camera just needs some tweaking and then tne C905 will be just as good as the others!

I don't think the sensor is as good as the Samsung one used in the innov8/i8510 or the Pixon - but the C905 is a great all rounder.

Yeah,right,it just takes worse looking pictures  And is not even s60  if you think the screen size is big then you haven't seen Innov8. Samsung is a winner The c905 is quickly turning into another Sorryericsson F...up. No wonder they have posted a financial loss in the last quarter

Yea, no doubt of that coz C905 is the best selling phone worldwide and has sold more pieces than the renoir,pixon and innov8 combined. Just look at the number of user pages in gsmarena specs page of the c905 to the lgs or the samsungs. |

Innov8 surely looks like a great cam-phone. but i think Renoir camera looks even better or maybe the same.
think it weird that Sonyericsson release a great phone as c905 whos not fully tested, they should waited some more months just to get the camera better.

I'm using the C905 over my i8510 because it's a better everyday phone, with a very easy and logical user interface. I have push email (with Google) and a web browser that's good enough for my needs (as well as Opera Mini).
It has an excellent media player, support for my Bluetooth watch and a nice feel.
But, you can't just dismiss the quality of the sensor in the Samsung. It's MUCH better. I've taken loads of shots and you can see the detail on things like brickwork, or branches. By comparison, the SE has to use all sorts of noise reduction to hide its inefficiencies, so at 100% you can see it isn't as good.
SE get away with it because most pics are reduced. Look at the photos on here at 50% and they look fine. And the C905 (like other SE models) also take excellent macro shots.
That's why I think it's the best all-rounder. A proper flash, features like BestPic and less shutter lag, and an easier to operate camera.
But, only a fanatical SE fanboy could deny the fact that the competition is pretty fierce. In fact, I'd be quite happy to see the competition giving SE a run for its money, because it means they're going to have to work harder in 2009.

Think Jonathan summed up why I chose the C905. Ease of use. I only really use it as a phone, a camera and occasionally satnav and interweb. It is also smaller and a darn sight better looking.
Good to hear a user with both phones chooses the c905 as an everyday phone over the Samsung.
Maybe the picture quality will improve with further updates. |

The other reason for 'accepting' the C905 is the fact that it still takes excellent photos. Just because they're not perfect or as good as the competition, doesn't change that fact. Unless you're always viewing the photos at 100% or printing them out on A3 paper, the camera well exceeds your needs.
Even 5-MP is probably more than you need, but people do like the numbers game!
One reason I stopped using the i8510 was down to the huge amount of dust that got behind the screen (and they all seem to do it) and the lack of firmware updates.
S60 has many flaws, and losing my email (literally - both emails AND the settings needed to download it) and slow messaging times (15 seconds to send an SMS) made me stop using it because it failed on fairly basic needs.
Not everyone will suffer these problems, so I'd still recommend it as the best S60 smartphone you can currently buy.

I don't know if this is a known issue but it certainly is at my Carphone Warehouse - there seems to be a problem with the speaker in some handsets i.e when you answer a call you hear nothing/or make a call and you hear nothing.
Mine worked fine to begin with but then this happened, the phone wasn't knocked in any way. I have now learnt that a lot of C905's have been brough back becuase of that problem.
I didn't purchase my C905 from my local Carphone Warehouse either mine was from a Carphone Warehouse in London.
I just thought I would mention this.
Apart from that it's an excellent phone.

Hi there just got a C905 and it's a great phone and everything but I seem to have a problem with it. Sometimes, the screen will just lose the backlight completely but you'll still be able to see, very slightly, what is on the screen but there is no light on it. The keypad glows white when this happens. And I have to wait for about 15 seconds until I can use the phone again, when the white lights have gone off.
Anyone had this problem? Any way to fix it?
Thanks! |
