Sony Ericsson phones are great!
The phone is great and so is the camera. An 8.1 megapixel camera with a phone is very uncommon. I bought a Sony 2GB M2 memory card, which is more than enough. I can store thousands of pictures and hundreds of songs. The other great thing is that I can just bluetooth all my pictures and music to my computer, which is great because I dont have to use a single wire! I even bought the Motorola S9-HD headphones which allows me listen to my music wirelessly. These are great accessories I bought in addition, which allow me to make use of all the uses of my phone.
The only flaw on my c905 is that it doesn't charge when its off. This means that if the battery dies, I am unable to turn the phone back on. It just happened recently, so I had to charge the battery in one of my old Sony Ericsson phones and then had to stick it back in my c905. Its an odd concept and I probably have a defective phone, but as long as I make sure to charge it when its on it works perfectly fine.
Overall: Great phone with great additional features (wifi, GPS, camera)
I really do like Sony Ericsson phones. The quality, the features, and the name behind the phone!Read full review...
Cell phone to have when great pictures are a must!
I like the easy menu; but I love everything about the the camera part of this cell phone; easy access for taking photos and videos, easy access for viewing the photos or videos you just took, easy access to DJ-fix the pictures or videos, and the quality of the pictures...
...they are great pictures!
What I don't like is that video clips have to be so short, (about 24sec. long) to be able to send them to fb or other web sites, or even as a message, if it didn't have a limit on this feature, than this cell phone would for sure have an 'Excellent'-Rating!
Over all, however, when I decided to buy this Sony c905 cyber-shot cell phone, I made the best decision I could make for my needs...
...and I am so glad I did! I love this Sony cyber shot cell phone!
Thanks Sony, this one is a keeper until the next cyber shot has no limit on the video feature of sending it as message or to web sites!Read full review...
Review after using the C905 for 3 months.
The Pros
- Sliding form to allow for larger screen
- Fantastic camera
- Great video recording
- MP3 player
- FM radio
- Email
- Watch full movies
- Nice Web browser
The Cons
- No QWERTY keypad
- Short battery life
- Only takes Sony M2 memory cards
I've owned the W810i and K850i before and the C905a blows them all away. The feel of the phone is nice and the camera is VERY simple to use. The real digital camera has so many options it's unbelievable. It's not hard to get used to it, but takes some time to play around with.
Also it has great video too. It can shoot video up to 2 hours in high-quality. You can also post them on YouTube straight from the phone. Definitely suited for those who have kids or and active lifestyle.
I also use the email, MP3 player and FM radio a lot.Read full review...
Does it all well!
I love this phone - call quality is fantastic on both ends, and reception is excellent. Mine is an unlocked phone I'm using with my ATT SIM. It takes really great pictures, so crisp and color reproduction is exact. However, do not use this to take self portraits, as the color comes out weird; I guess because your hand is in front of the camera, blocking some of the flash? Anyway, I never leave my cell at home, but I always forget my camera and I have young kids, so now I can take good pictures whenever because it takes the best pictures out of any camera phone - has real xenon flash and auto focus. Even the video from this phone is better than decent, and it has the software to upload it in seconds to You Tube, Facebook, etc. The only things I can find fault with are its chubby dimensions and that it takes several seconds to save the file when you snap a picture, delaying the next picture. However, these are such minor beefs when you consider all you're getting at such a reasonable price - it so many 'smart' phone features; even has wifi despite the fact it's a 'dumb' phone, so you can get free internet on your phone wherever there's wifi AND you don't have to pay extra every month on your phone bill like you're forced to do with a 'smart' phone. I did a LOT of research before settling on this phone, and I'm glad I did as it fits my needs perfectly.Read full review...
C905 is an excellent upgrade from a previous SE low-end
If you are a regular user of SE phones and you are not ready to make the move to a full-blown smartphone, the C905 is an excellent upgrade from the K-series phones (that I have been using). I love the camera, the Wi-fi and the fact that moving from K800 to C905 is seamless. All the functionality, UI and more can be found in the C905.
You can easily sync with isync on a Mac (after downloading a plugin from SE), which makes managing contacts and my schedule very easy.
Overall, this is an excellent phone, packed with lots of useful features (8.1 MP camera, Wi-fi, GPS, flashlight, etc), reasonable battery life, good synching capabilities in both Mac and Windows and a reasonable price.
The downside is that the applications market for C905 seems rather limited.Read full review...
Smartest NON-Smartphone Out There
After AT&T started imposing the $30 data plan for ALL smartphones. The challenge at hand was to find a non smartphone that would keep me satisfied through its features and cool factor. Well let me tell you, this phone did it! Not only am I saving $30/month from a data plan. But this phone has the awesome camera that takes very good pictures and videos. And the user interface isn't bad either. I love the IM style interface for texting. Similar to what most Blackberry's have. The design feels solid, the slider mechanism feels sturdy and great. Like the cool factor in sliding the shutter screen to activate/deactivate camera mode. I've had this phone for about 4 months now, and I've had no problems with it. Just make sure you restart it ever so often just to give it a fresh slate to work off of. And default all your texts to your M2 memory card so it won't slow down the phone.Read full review...
The C905
The Sony Ericsson C905 Cyber-shot has managed to create a real stir in the mobile community. It's the first GSM handset that ships with the whopping 8 megapixels worth of camera goodies and such things simply cannot go unnoticed.
You've probably already gone through the news scoop and you know the sweet details - face detection, smart contrast, both a xenon flash and a photo flash, as well as geotagging complete the camera feature set. A 2.4-inch QVGA TFT display with scratch-resistant mineral glass cover will serve you as a viewfinder.Read full review...
Great product from Sony.
If you love to take pictures and talk this is the phone for you. Takes wonderful pictures even in total darkness. The phone side of it is your basic Sony Ericsson. MP3, video, internet, GPS, WiFi, and Radio. Can use this as you standard digital camera, walkman, or phone.Read full review...
Not Pleased with my Purchase of Sony Ericsson C905
I am not pleased with my purchase of the Sony Ericsson C905 cell phone! I choose the Sony Ericsson C905 cellphone for the features and functions described in advertisements, and the unique look and style of the phone. And I trusted EBay as a reputable and reliable. However, what I received was a phone that does not perform over half of what was advertised. Basically, all this phone is able to do is make and receive phone calls. I am unable to connect to the Internet, send or receive picture messages,etc..Truly a waste of money and time. I rated this product as being below POOR. I am truly disappointed in my purchase and I want a product (Sony Ericsson C905) that will perform as advertised it would do. EBay has lost all credibility and my trust.Read full review...
