I have had this phone for 4 months now. At first I really liked this phone but now I can clearly say its the worst phone I have ever had. I have 2 major problems:
1) They never fixed the keypad problem. I take good care of all my phones but my C905's number 2, 4, and # are not functioning. I have to press them really hard for the keypad to receive any feedback from the phone. People here said that the keypad problem is fixed, but its NOT. Phone has gone out for a repair currently due to this problem.
2) The edges of the slider have a slight gap where my hair get stuck all the time. It is annoying how many hair have been plucked out over my ear due to this flaw in the design.
I wish SE made great phones like the p-series or the K750. I would personally advise people to stay put from this phone due to the keypad problem. Its not worth it if you cant even text anyone.

I had a Sony Ericson K800i which was best phone ever. Upgraded to C905 in November and since then have had four handsets!! Worst phone I have ever had and wouldn't have another one. Two replaced for sticking keys, one replaced for software issues and final one replaced as keeps saying 'no network coverage'. Stay well away!

Great phone, but my problem is the battery. 360 hours standby means 15 days. Mine last for only 3 days, with an average of 20min talk time.
Any comments on this?

Overall the phone is great - awesome camera and quality of pictures. However, there are a few boo-boos - no video call camera for the 3G and I've recently had problems with the earphones and sound and the slide cable under the screen has now broken. Not impressed for what I paid for the phone.

I bought the c905(unlocked) for my wife.
Scores 1-5, 1=bad, 3=average 5=excelent
The c905 is awesome for pictures(5)
The phone is loud and clear great reception(5)
videos are good(4)
The turn by turn navigator works ok for free(3)
Google maps with street view(5)
Battery life great(5)
Is not bulky(4)
Messaging-some nice features(3.5)
Music id great(5)
Music player good-not very loud-earbuds will help(3.5)
Media sharing is great especially if you have ps3-your media can be viewed/played so easy on your hdtv(5)
Screen is excellent for its size-the phone is small(5)
Wifi works great, 3g works great(5)
Bluetooth works great-good range, good clarity(5)
Voice dial-uses voice tags but works very good(4)
Internet-better than average(3.5)
Storage-came with 2gb, can install 8gb card(4)
Overall score 4.5
If you want it for pictures(5)
Calling is as good as it gets(5)
If you listen to a lot of loud music on your phone this is not the phone for you. Unless you invest in some expensive earbuds. The quality is good but not loud enough(3)
If you want to navigate a lot the built in wayfinder is pretty basic so you could upgrade to att navigator(4).
The phone has been excellent but we wanted a good camera and good call quality. The free nav application is a plus because it searches the internet so you can find almost aanything. We love being able to access the pictures/music on our hdtv.

Anonymous, 24 Jul 2009Also, this phone is pretty cheap in the US, $180 with contr... moreCheaper yet on Amazon: $49 with a new contract, $124 for upgrade.
You can also "debrand" the firmware in the phone to re-enable WiFi and WayFinder, plus accept standard (signed/unsigned) J2ME apps.

Anonymous, 25 Jul 2009I went by the AT&T store and took a look at the phone. It ... moreI'd recommend looking up the C905 unlocked international version or to just wait to buy the C905 unlocked if you want to use 3G. The network limitations put on handsets as powerful as these is just disappointing. I ordered the international unlocked version (I'm on T-Mobile so I can't use the 3G) of the handset from an ebay seller who ships them directly from the factory in China with full warranty. Good price, $360 with shipping. Just search the handset on ebay and you should find it.
I'll be able to tell you guys if the unlocked handset fares better than the reports I've been getting from this board about carrier specific versions of the C905.
