Sony Ericsson Cybershot c905 Review

abe parang sa pancake house yung sa gitna ah? haha XD

That is indeed expensive. If I needed a camera, I’d get a DSLR. I consider the camera function in my K800i just a bonus feature useful when I just want to take quick shots.

And Samsung was the first one to release an 8MP cameraphone IIRC. ;)

I have to wait until it goes down to 10,000 hehehehe.. my k800i is still enough for me..

That is cool.

i’ve lost my Sony Ericsson Cybershot c905…

Great review. I wish na sana mka2bili ako ng C905 this christmas kya lng hihintayin ko na lng ang C510 this coming january or february.

I was always a fan of SE, and just the other day bought a Samsung U900. Because of the low ring volume I went back to a SE. C905 is twice the price (almost) as a U900, and although the C905 is generally good, it has some big disappointments specially for the price. The first disappointment is that the camera for video calls is at the back of the phone which is totally useless. So, if you make a video call you will not be able to see each other at the same time. The other disappointment is the modem function. This can only be used in my case if you switch of the 3G phone function. U900 was much better here. The last disappointment was with obtaining the settings for the phone on the internet. SE tells you on their site that they will sms this to you. I tried this by using various (countries) sites, but untill now I did not receive any settings. Obviously this service doesnot work, I hope SE will improve on this

Hp high end Sony ericcson C905 yang katanya ok kamera dan kualitas canggih ternyata hanya “lagu bohong” dari soner saja..

Saya beli C905 ini baru 1 bulan lebih 5 hari, eh ternyata sdh ada masalah dengan speakernya..suara penelpon tdk terdengar kecuali dengan loud speaker..begitu dibawa k Sony ericcson center, ternyata sdh ada komplain serupa sebanyak 3 orang termasuk saya..
dan yang paling mengecewakan, hpku ini harus dibawa k jakarta dengan alasan hp ini masih produk terbaru dan tdk memiliki spare part (flexible) di kota tempat saya komplain tadi..
dan paling menyakitkan, masa perbaikannya harus memakan waktu 1 bulan (skrg sdh 1 bulan,tp blm ada kbr juga),

baru pake 1 bulan, eh dipegang orang 1 bulan..percuma deh beli hp 5,5 juta kalo bobrok kayak ini..buat yang belum beli..mendingan pikir2 deh beli hp produk soner yang mahal-mahal..mending tunggu waktu harganya turun saja, daripada beli mahal dan terus kecewa dan sakit hati

quest****@****.*** kok ga pernah nyambung ya..katanya siap melayani complain..percuma juga nanya call center soner..bilangnya ga bisa bantu dan mohon maaf trus..it sucks!!!

woi soner..percuma gaya pasang kamera 8 mega kalo kualitasmu jelek banget..

hello, help naman po. nag software update po ako kaso wla naman ung smile shutter. pano un?

I would so buy this, but it looks a little thick. And im not a fan of thickish kinds of cell phones.

I just bought a C905 a couple of weeks ago. I recently lost my n82. I wasn’t very sure that switching to a C905 is a good idea until I’ve tried it.
Being a nokia-loyalist, this will be hard to admit but… c905 is a very good camera-phone. It can replace some stand-alone digicams available on the market (yes, you can throw away your digicams that is less than 5mp). That being said, you can’t expect that the quality of the images produced by this phone is up to par to that produced by a DSLR. It’s like comparing a vios to an SLK mercedes. Still, the images produced by the phone is excellent. It takes better photos than my n82 (make that my now gone n82). The face detection works like magic. That goes the same for the smart contrast and best pic.
I updated the phone’s firmware about a week ago. I didn’t have any difficulty during the process. It now comes with a “smile shutter”. As most of you know, the smile shutter feature can be enjoyed on a Sony Cyber-shot camera. Kudos to Sony for incorporating that feature into the phone. It made it truly a Cyber-shot camera-phone.
The phone also comes with a GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth and a bunch of other stuff. What makes this phone unique is that it is DLNA certified. I can connect it to my Vaio without a problem. Just make your home network as a “favorite” and voila, it works perfectly.
The phone is well built. Unlike to that of the Nseries of the Nokia, this feels expensive (and it is. I bought mine for 25k). Although it feels more expensive and more elegant than nokia phones, I personally think 25k is too much because Nokia Nseries phones have more capabilities than this phone. I can open office applications and files on my nokia whereas I’m only able to store it here. It can’t open word, powerpoint or excel files. The web browser of the Nokia is better too. I’m able to watch youtube videos in the web brower on my nokia phone.
But then again, this is first and foremost a Cyber-shot handyphone. It is (as of today) the best camera-phone on the market. I’ve used and compared the images produced by a Nokia, Samsung, LG and iPhone (yes, although it is pointless, i also compared it to an image prodiced by an iPhone) I can confidently say that this phone is a league of its own.

So… to those looking for a decent music-player and an (dare i say) amazing camera, and a neat phone, then the C905 is for you. A bit pricey but worth the extra bucks.

i want to know if the this phone has a language option for greek …. thank you

i need to know how can i open word, powerpoint or excel files

my boss bought a SE c905 unit. after a few days, the earpiece malfunctioned. we returned it to the shop and asked for replacement. the H.O. too received complaints of the same kind.

I suggest you bring it directly to Sony Ericsson shop and ask for replacement. We got our replacement unit after a month.

Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot C905 has the high quality camera.There are many fascinating features in this mobile like stereo Bluetooth, GPS, a music player Together and many more.It’s quite sleek and also deliberate phone with a sharp design. The keypad device is very good, very spacious.This cell phone will be loved by the music lovers.

hey Thennek Onamor , how much did the phone cost ?

hi! I need a phone where I can view and EDIT my MSWORD and EXCEL files. What phone can you recommend?thanks!

the WIfi is problematic, and after a quick software upgrade, now the GPS… Why can’t they make it more durable like they used to, which is one of the reason I stop being a Nokia user.

magkano na po ngayon ang isang SE c905 i like the features pati yung slim sizes niya LOVE it

I take back what I wrote earlier. I’m switching back to Nokia. I’ve read and heard that Satio has many software problems as well…

@MrLeche

I had the same problems with mine… It’s fun at first but once the defects starts to manifest it’s frustrating, wouldn’t you agree? My phone’s been with the service center for 2 months now… It’s very very VERY unnerving. Now I’m just waiting for them to return it to me so that I could get rid of the damn thing. I’m planning to replace it with a Nokia e72. Its camera is not as good as the c905 but at least it’s very reliable and sturdy.

Anyway… To all SE C905 owners out there (and to those planning to buy it) I read an article about a certain company in the United States recalled all c905 and Satio phones due to the C905’s faulty hardware and Satio’s faulty firmware. It seems SE is desperate to compete with the market that they didn’t put much thought on their products. I just wish the X10 would save the company from this embarrassment.

@MrLeche

I used to own a k700 a few years back… It was a good phone… I had a problem with the rubber cover at the bottom but other than that, the phone’s quite decent. I’ve mishandled it a couple of times and it didn’t even break. I’ve been changing phones probably about every year since the 3210 came out. Most of the phones I bought were made by Nokia and a few by SE. The C905 is by far the most problematic phone I’ve had. Sure it doesn’t scratch easily and it feels solid when you hold it, but the earpiece and keypad problem is unacceptable. Those two are the most important aspects of a phone. Hell, that’s what makes it a phone. haha! If those two fail, then all I have is a camera. A good camera but wouldn’t compete with the cameras of today.

If you want to buy a new phone I suggest the X10 that will be coming out soon. It has the potential to be a really really good phone. It has 4″ capacitive touch screen, android OS, & the camera I think is 8mp (not sure though)… Check it out when you have the time. =)

@ Juztin88

I had the very same problem… What I did was, as soon as I got the phone back from the service center, I immediately sold it. You said that you plan on getting a Satio… I would suggest against it. Satio has a LOT of software problems which unfortunately, haven’t been addressed by SE.
