Sony Ericsson C905 (new flagship SE phone)

Think I will be upgrading my K850i to the C905 at the end of the year.

Not too pushed about 8.1 megapixels, but GPS, Wifi and TV are very good features to have.

The C905 is the latest camera offering from Sony Ericsson featuring a fully spec’d 8.1 mega pixel camera with auto focus, face recognition, a new feature called Smart Contrast, image stabilization, BestPic, red-eye reduction, xenon flash as well as photoflash for both photos and videos. It’s got a video stabilizer feature as well. You can geo-tag your photos with the built-in GPS with further support for A-GPS, and the large camera resolution makes it possible to do prints in up to A3 sizes! Your photos will automatically flip to landscape mode, when you tilt your phone, as it’s got a built-in accelerometer. You’ll be able to watch your photos on a beautiful 2.4 inch QVGA-resolution scratch-resistant mineral glass TFT display. Feel like sharing your photos on a TV-set? That’s possible as well with the TV-Out Cable ITC-60, also to be announced on the 17th.

That’s not all, though… C905 will be the first feature phone by Sony Ericsson to sport built-in WiFi with DLNA-support, so all media in your home can be shared. It’s also got the latest in Bluetooth connections, supports USB 2.0 data transfers, and can be synchronized with Exchange ActiveSync.

The Sony Ericsson C905 measures 104 x 49 x 18 (19.5) millimetres, and weighs a massive 136 grams. It’ll be available in Copper Gold, Ice Silver & Night Black in early Q4, with a bundled 2 GB Memory Stick Micro M2. It comes in three variants, two with full support for UMTS and HSDPA in the certain regions (even America). The battery is good for 380 hours of standby or 9 hours of talk on GSM networks, or 360 hours of standby or 4 hours of talk on 3G networks.

The phone hasnt been offically announched yet and wont be out till early Q4,but I would assume O2 and vodafone would have it then.

I was waiting for the w960i to be launched in this country for ages.
Then i rang around to the networks and discovered that no one was gonna carry it!!
I wouldn't get my hopes up on Irish networks carrying high spec SE phones :mad:

billbond4

W960i was a specialized phone, and Irish networks dont seem too keen to pickup on.
The C905 will be out on an Irish network as its SE flagship phone, SE flagships phone have always been released in Ireland,since they started selling phones in Ireland. (T610,K700i,K750i, K800i,K850i)

They probably don't want the trouble of collecting peoples details for TV licence purposes.

As much as I don't need to upgrade my k800i, I'm pretty damned tempted after seeing that video. It looks the business and has the specs to boot.
