According to Mobile Today, Sony Ericsson are suffering real problems with the C905, in terms of return rates.
The two items singled out are split across software and hardware – the O/S freezing is one big issue (apparently), and the speaker also has faults too….. this supposedly leading to return rates of [wait for it]…. 30% in some areas?! Surely not? That’s VERY high for a new handset.
According to SE, the issues with early handset batches have now been resolved – but this follows recalls on some previous products too – and getting a name for having SW issues is something that no software/solutions vendor wants. Well I still really like the spec and look of the C905 – perhaps I need to get one on a long-term review basis….Sony Ericsson PR any thoughts on that? 
On the positive side, the upcoming W995 and Idou (which I’m sure will get a codename soon enough) should rock the house – let’s hope these two handsets really shine for SE

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
