What's wrong lel0uch? You forgot to say what you think of the C901? Just a hint: Samsung...

I'm in this search too, between C901 and C905 and it's getting really hard to choose.
A friend also proposed that N82 and N79 can be good choices too which makes the hunt much harder.

Any new advice?

I've owned both phones and imo the only thing the C901 has better over the C905 is the better keypad. Everything else goes in favour of the C905. Nobody has yet to mention the camera focus problems that the C901 has. This is a software problem which has yet to be resolved. Another fault is found on the battery cover. The peg on the lens cover which activates the camera is made of very thin metal and bends easily causing the camera not to work. C905 also has its fair share of faults. Keypad issues where the keys collapse and slide flex ribbon can come loose.

Even though. I kept the C905 and the C901 was sold.
I tried sniffing coke once but didnt like it. The bubbles kept going up my nose

In my opinion the C905 is marginally better, they are both extremely similar and just because the C905 has an 8mp doesn't mean you really notice a different. The camera software is exactly the same, interface is the same everything is the same no difference at all, except the C905 has a better exeon flash but the c901 flash is great still. Audio quality is exactly the same, the interface is the same as well. The C901 is likley to have better durabilty because it is a candy bar, the C905 has a large gap on the back of the phone when the phone is slid up, not too good if your out partying and someone spills a drink. Texting is up to you really, everyone has there own preferences you should try that out for yourself, but the C905 is very bulky and a bit too bulky so that may affect texting, too bulky for me though. The reason why the C905 is marginally better is stronger exeon flash, larger screen (2.2 inch vs 2.4 inch), wifi capabilities, and GPS. The C905 comes with an 8GB memory card while i don't think the C901 comes with one. The C905 comes with BBC iplayer built in (UK only). Also both models come with facebook intergration with the updates on the wallpaper, you can update photos straight to your facebook as well which should come in handy

Conclusion: Even though the C905 is better slightly the reasons why are prety miniscule, for an extra $150 dollars its not worth it, get a C901, UNLESS you will be stuck on a very long contract (2year+), then the slightly better picture quality may come in handy

+1.
Cept the c901 is way, way smaller, which was a big factor for me. And the c901 is quicker on its feet, but not by much.

c905 have way better allround-camera..............(if you look at some lowlight shots between this cams, the difference is hugh)


ps....
IF C901 had been manufactured in same great "plastic" as w810........it had been soooooooooo much more desirable

C905 really has stronger xenon but C901 has good color reproduction and more clear picture. I have both phones but always pick my C901 for special moment rather than bulky C905.

an expert has spoken! an expert on phones which he hasn't, especially C901 which is the most worthless phone on the world in his opinion he's also an expert on polymer technologies - good plastic vs. cheap plastic and so on

inhale, exhale...

build quality of C901 is good, everything fits tight, camera cover works well and the phone sits well in hand. only the keys are a bit weird, they are slippery and soft keys too small but good thing is that after 2-3 days you have no problems to use them. any other questions about build quality or keys?

camera
1. standard link
2. C905 is good camera
3. C901 is good camera

if you look at some lowlight shots between this cams, the difference is hugh


C905: low frequency chromatic noise (big spots of various colors)
C901: high frequency luminosity noise (small spots more or less bright)

both phones have twilight modes with longer exposure time - the best solution to make quality of low-light better

IF C901 had been manufactured in same great "plastic" as w810........it had been soooooooooo much more desirable

sounds weird. fetish?
