No problems with my 08w52 C905, thought it had a batt/discharge problem but suspect it was either a duff charger or something I was/wasn't doing!

Don't think there's a way of telling when a C905 was made from the box, it does give you the week/year of manufacture on the IMEI sticker under the battery in the format I've used.

Widespread C905 problems raise doubts among dealers in the future quality of Sony Ericsson devices, however manufacturer claims it is turning around its quality checking processes

Dealers have raised serious questions over the build quality of Sony Ericsson handsets after widespread problems with the C905, its latest high-end device.

Many customers have complained to independent dealers that the earpiece on the C905 stops working soon after purchase, with a flex cable between the top and bottom of the slider cable failing. Some have also criticised the manufacturer for how long it takes to repair handsets.

I read that article earlier. I was concerned after reading about the experiences of the early adopters but I picked up a silver W46 which seems to be troublefree. They need to sort these issues out much earlier though.
