Hey this my first post on esato so sorry if i muddle this up. I have looked on gsmarena that the c901 has been realised but there has not been any news of it being realised in Australia. Is there any news of it being realised in australia since i've looked at the sony ericsson site and there is nothing about it. I really do like this phone because my beloved k800i antenna broke at April this year (still get reception at some area but at home none) and also I currently got a 6110 navigator and can't stand it anymore.

Thank you

Nick

3 dont have any plans on stocking it as far as i know. they will only stock the the t707, c903 and w995 from the current range. all are expected within coming weeks.

id say some one like optus or vodafone perhaps would pick it up?? if not you will have to import one

By the looks of it, neither the original C901 or the Greenheart version will be released in Australia (neither is on the SE Australia website). I bought mine from Mobicity for $399 (www.mobicity.com.au).

Not available in Oz or NZ I'm afraid. "Other Asia-Pacific countries" doesn't include us.
Why don't you try Plemix dot com - AU$383.32 and 3 colours available. They have a good reputation on Esato as a supplier and one of their staff is a member here.

Beware of this C901. Its uses a samsung camera module not a sony. No way im gonna buy this im feel i've been cheated
What i like about sony ericsson is that it doesn't want to prove anything... it's more like a lifestyle

Dam, a phone that I like and there not going to introduce it into Australia. Well im in europe at the moment but im afraid that if i buy one over here and that something does goes wrong with the handset, that Sony Ericsson in Australia will not want anything to do with it. I think that will be my only choice to go to a website like mobicity and buy it if I want to purchase this phone. Unless there a another sony ericsson phone out there with a xenon flash if it not the k850i (cause i can't stand that buttons on it). Also i have had a look at the c905 but I have heard so many story about the earpiece dieing within weeks of purchase and I feel that the keypad is like a motorola v3 keypad which does make me avoid choosing this handset.
