Sony Ericsson C905
I also had my hands on a C905 the other day for five minutes, and below you can also find out what I thought of it. The point of these comments are to give you a flavour of what might enamour or disappoint you if were to have same time to play with the device – and thus get a view on whether it’s buy-worthy!
build quality – superb – I am impressed. Only reservation is on the slide mechanism for the camera, as these have a history of opening in peoples pockets, and draining the battery!
key layout – very good indeed – good response too
slide mechanism – clunky, in a very good way 🙂
User interface – not really changed at all from K800i – nice, but you could argue needs an update
Camera – simply stunning!
option-finding complexity – very high – lots of layers of menus again 🙁
Speed – quick to use, nice
media handling – this is an odd one – images are excellent, videos are really not good at all!!
So in summary, would I buy one? The major problem I have with this device is that the UI really isn’t evolved much, if any, from the three year old K800i. Come on SE, you have to keep wowing us, sitting on laurels does not make me buy a phone! But but but, the camera is back to being a revelation. I suspect a proper 8MP camera would take better pics, but the pics on here are still VERY good!
Overall rating: positive – I like!
Grade: A- (a few tweaks and it would be an A or A+!)
