Who regrets buying a C905?
After mines has broken twice I do. £400 for a poorly made phone I can see this ending up where the K850i went out of production early. That's why K800i phones got sold cheap compared to the K850i which stayed about £200 before being taken off shelves for the C902.
For starters it was over priced. I hope the upgrade from the C905 is better sadly there's no other 8MP phones out I like the look of. As a camera it's a great phone but video is poor compared to phones like the LG Viewty which have a better resolution.
I do like the C905 but the problems are worse than the days of the K800i and the joystick which could be solved easier. When ear pieces break, touch screen keys, keypads break it's a bit too much in a high end phone.
What's the C907 going to be like? I heard 10MP looks like the C702 will it offer anything else? For me SE's next model should not be touch screen, non slider and go back old school with a normal candy bar phone that works.
It should be made like a K750i or even the hard plastic of the K850i. |

Well to the above 2 posters..
I've got a 2009 W02 model, and I've not had a single problem with the phone.
I'm only wondering if it was worth getting this over a K850i/K858i for the extra resolution size, or not. Since to be fair, the other smartphone type features i'm not really fussed about, I just want a good solid phone, with a camera I can rely on for high quality pics.
Edit: Just like to add that I am pretty happy with the phone, since I've had this and the Renoir, and as a universal performer (despite what questionable reviews might say) the C905 was deffinatley top.

I have not been up to date with phones this past year. Im thinking of upgrading soon and im intrested in this one. Was it a failure like early k850's or is this one worth getting? I have not been aware of any major problems.. yet. What are its main downsides?
Thanks |

Only downside of my phone is the slightly wobbly slider. Everything else is fine. I love it!

Hello, i have a question about asissted start of C905s GPS. It will connect to internet, get some data about satellite positions and then it shld start more quickly.
I want to ask, how much data are downloaded during this process. I tryed it just once, phone connected to net for 40s downloaded and uploaded approximatly 4000b and thats all. Is it okay? 
Thank you. |

And if it doesn't find any wifi or internet connection,can it simply use direct Satellite connection like on nokias?

If u cant acess wifi or dont have internet from your provider, u can search for GPS signal (sattelite) without asisstance. I takes a few minutes but its working. Even if u have internet acess u can switch off asissted start to save some cash. |

Now it makes it more logic!
Imagine using Sports Trackers while skiing or jogging with internet only
I hope that the accuweather app will be updated with better gfx like on S60 and iphones

I dont understand why people hate the phone so much. The phone might break with one fault... but sony fix it 100% free! why complain, i would be annoyed if they just said its not our fault like some rouge builder! |

Time to say goodbye to the faulty C905's?
I am looking at the SE W995 - 8MP bigger screen perhaps better than the C905?
Sony Ericsson Idou - 12mp, Touch screen?
Samsung omnia hd - 8MP with HD video recorder.
Which of these is the bets one to go for? If the W995 comes out quick I could consider that not really a fan of walkman phones do SE plan any other 8MP/Wi-fi handsets with the Cybershot brand?
Any other suggestions on a possible C905 replacement? It must be 8MP, good flash, wi-fi. |
