I honestly don't regret getting shot of my C905 one bit. All the problems that were present are still there, and now Sony Ericsson have finally admitted publicly that build quality in their handsets has been quite poor.
For all those who said it's only the complainers who come on and talk about problems, we can see now that  's build quality really is slipping on a much bigger scale. The last two cyber-shot flagships have been pretty poo, and I can certainly see myself looking to a Samsung future with my next phone.
(But not Nokia, lol! Not going through that boring S60 crap again!)
It's such a shame. My fav brand really is looking shoddy these past 2 years.
Edit: 6000th post on this thread!

Well, this is the direct quote:
Sony Ericsson managing director Nathan Vautier said: "We are very aware of this. We need to take a step up and understand where these quality issues are coming from. We have gone from having one of the best performing quality brands to having issues on certain products.
"We are addressing this radically, starting from within the core of our manufacturing business, in changing how we conduct our research and development, where we source our components and how we test our products.
"We will also manage this locally through post sales teams. In the short term we will be looking at ways to support this further through more accessible software downloads. But it has to start within the product itself." |

Battery drains quicker that way.  |

I hope this means they sacked the certain idiots on QC!

They took 5 days to fix mine. 
I am thankful that it went btw, it fixed the slight wobble in the slider. |

@Lunion: It has nothing to do with software, the fault is with the earpiece's flex ribbon. |

Thats right. Most of the problems on some of the handsets are inter-related. I think the wobbly slider might cause the cable to pe pulled loose and other problems will stem from that.
The keypad seems to be problematic too. I seem to be one of the lucky ones as mine seems to be trouble free so far but I'm glad they've come out and acknowledged - albeit in a roundabout way - that they need to get to grips with the QC and quick.

my C905 was only repaired 4 weeks now after the earpiece fiasco. Is it possible that the same problem could reoccur again in the future does anyone know? |
