Sony Ericsson C905 Slide Phone 3G mobile phone handset reviews and tariffs

+ I Just love ericsson phones as im not old but not a spring chicken, ive always had an ericsson and just find them so easy to use.
I love the camera and think the phone is so easy to use but as i said im used to them.
Phone looks really good as i like a real phone not a fashion accessory, however comes in pink to support breast cancer as wel so if you like girly pink things and you would be helping and promoting breast cancer charity.

- I find the keypad when texting a little bit sticky now and then, not all the time and battery life is not brilliant, however if youre using it for all sorts, ie music, camera, etc then i suppose that is about right.
Gutted that the 12 mega pixel is coming out in the autumn though, had i known this i might have held off on a new contract till then.

- low battery

+ this phone is easy to use,fits easily into my pocket and the camera is excellent,i also like the walk mate facility to help me with my keepfit routines...havent used any of the other applications as i really dont need them but im sure they will be useful to someone else.

- only thing i can be critical ablout is the battery,seems to run down quite quickly but hten i use my phone alot.

+ I bought this mobile because I specifically wanted a decent camera phone, it is without doubt an excellent camera phone, the rest does as it says. I am VERY happy with this product.

- Non really, to be picky I'd say the lense cover can be a bit fiddly and could do with being easier to slide/glide open. but really have nothing too bad to say about it

+ Fab Camera excellant quality pics. Great for the music lover amazing memory. The convo application for sms is unique havent come across this before! Love the pink metalic colour of the phone- A good all rounder mobile :)

- The battery is not great if your always txtin, taking pics listening to music etc

+ ease of use

- weight

+ camera

- size + weight

+ excellent camera quality

- none

+ Good looking, solid & well built, great camera, easy to use and overall I'm very happy.

- I find it difficult to drag and drop files from my PC to the phone using the PC suite. Only managing to put files on there using bluetooth,

+ Great camera and screen.

- Battery life is pretty awful using HSDPA.

+ all but battery life.

- battery life and range of colours.

+ pictures and videos are excellant quality

+ Excellent camera, brilliant graphics, lots of text message space and easy to use

- Battery doesnt really last, but I do a lot of texting, my phone has had a tendency to switch itself off or freeze, although this is quickly remedied but its very annoying.

+ EASE OF USE LARGE NUMBERS ON KEY PAD

- HAVEN'T FOUND ANY YET

+ The camera is brilliant, Ive had all the Kseries from k700 and every phone I bought, improved after each +50. Except the K850. But i definatley think the C905 is a big step in the K series. The screen is beautiful, wifi connects well and works seamlesley with applications EG. OperaMini. The bottons are all well placed, good sound quality, dont realy see a difference with the Wseries in terms of quality, on the UI is flashier.

- The keypad is flat so its hard to distinguish between diffrent keys, and like the K850, i thought id never get used to it. But after 2 weeks, i was back to texting perfektly. The camera slider mechanism dosnt seem very stable and im expecting it to jus give in within the year.

+ stylish easy to use phone

- i find that the battery life is a bit weak

+ canera and wifi with gps is excellen

- keypad quality feels cheapy nd makes a annoying clicking sound every time u type

+ The camera is amazing 8.1meg Now ya cant grumble at that
The features are great theres radio, games, photo dj ( where you can edit your pics)
The sound is clear
I like that its a slide phone v.cool

- Its a bit heavy but that not a major problem

+ ease of use, the internet settings

- battery life

+ The camera and video are fantastic - better than some ordinary digital cameras

- The battery does not last anywhere near long enough if you use the camera or video

+ love the design and features

- battery never lasts as long as expected and problems with adjusting the sound

+ This phone is simple to use, and packed with features like cool games and applications, but the highlight for me is the camera, the camera takes fantastic photos and videos with this phone you really don't need a digital camera

- the only bad thing i can really say about this phone is the battery life, its not that bad but its certainly not great, on a full charge i get about 4-5 with having wi-fi on or bluetooth anything like that

+ The camera is amazing
The software is amazing - especially the tracker, which is a personal trainer using GPS. Great for running and walking!
The smile function is amusing, and it actually works.
Pictures are great quality

- Is quite susceptible to faults

+ camara

+ Excellent phone with all the features that i want with a phone. Very big screen and easy to use with excellent internet browsing and photo quality. I would reccomend this phone for everyone.

- Only bad point about this phone is its size. I didn't expect it to be as large as it was when i received it but due to its excellent features this is only a small difficulty.

+ the camrea is very good and the flash

- battrey life, desgin, lack of low power sound warning.

+ excellant camera

- would have preferred the keypad to be like the K850i

+ Interface is intuative, screen is clear, camera is very good for such a tiny lens.

- GPS is flakey at best, phone crashes occasionally, not convinced the sliding mechanism is going to last 18 months.

+ Camera, and can store lots of tunes

- Battery life not brilliant but ok

+ The camera and screen are excellent. It's the first time I've used a pop-up phone but it's easier to use than any other type of phone - you just push up the top bit to answer - no trying to press small buttons to answer the call. Best phone I've ever used!

- The battery life is really poor - the worst phone I've ever used for that. The battery only seem to last 2 days, even when I've not used it much.

+ The 8.1 megapixel camera is great and the software used for texting, which looks like you are in an instant messaging conversation, is really good.

- The 6 silver buttons are easy pressed which means you can accidentally disconnect a call if your ear leans against them. The screen is on the small side.

+ easy to use and looks good

- can't get any network in my area

+ verygood fone....

- no bad points....

+ the camera is better than most digital cameras, and it is a nice solid design.

- the battery life is terrible as i have to charge it every night

+ The web browser is very fast in a 3G+ reception area. The camera is excellent as well.

- The keys are a little on the small side and I often end up pressing the wrong button when dialling or texting. The initial battery was dreadful. A day and a half at most before it needed recharging. With a few more cycles it has improved to three days, but its still poor.

+ simple and improved, ease of use. Excelent camera and music playing facility. Smooth and robust sliding mechanism.

- none.

+ Excellent 'high quality' camera. Amazing clear and sharp pictures

- Faulty battery. needs to be charged every 48 hours. Updated software and still running away with the battery life

+ very easy to use,brilliant camera to use with perfect pictures.

- keypad set up takes a bit of getting used to, keysare maybe to close together or to sensitive?

+ The picture quality of the pictures that I have taken is really good.

- Difficult to find how to change the setup and configuration of the mobile. I still haven't found out how to change the font on the first screen.

+ STYLE
GREAT CAMERA

- WEIGHT

+ The camera and video are fantastic

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Superb camera
Easy navigation (had a sony before so its the same)

- Bulky but you expect that with the quality of camera.
GPS is poor at finding a accurate signal.
Keys are a bit fiddly
All the games are demos (about 10 of them) and I can't get rid of them.

+ Practically everything one of the best phones ive ever had.

- Battery life is not very good if you use the internet a lot

+ Its a phone and a camera all in one

- The battery life needs charged more often than previous phones I have had

+ amazing camera for a phone, good screen and menus.

- Fiddly keypad with small buttons make it difficult to text when you have fat fingers like me.

+ brill camera good sound music brill good phone

- battery life

+ Camera is good ,very good . Phone is easy to use .

- Terrible battery life (2days absolute max ,usually 1 and a bit days !!!) Lack of Apps compared to other phones,screen smaller than it should really be ,imo a lot of space is wasted in its design!! Only a 2GB memory card is poor to be honest ,surely 4 or 8 gb should be the norm on such an expensive phone!!

+ Good Screen great camera and generally great phone

- Not long enough battery life whilst camera is being used.

+ This phone got only very good points, there's nothing bad and I reallly like it.I'm in love in tha t phone

- no bad points

+ just a gr8 phone

- could do with somethin for sliding the fone up ,a wee rubber bit or somethin ,sometimes its 2 slippy 2 slide up

+ camera

- takes a long time to load things

+ Looks good, pretty nice working features and menu. bit on the big side.

- far too big.

+ Excellant Product no serious complaints

- In my opinion the battery standby time could be better

+ Excellent phone. Easy to navigate through all the options. Good sound quality. Never lost a call yet. Excellent picture/video quality.

- Battery life can go a little bit too quick (not a major problem)

+ Very easy to use, really nice design and feels sturdy, camera is exellent. just love it really pleased with this phone.

- Battery life

+ I love the style and lay out of the C905. I purchased this phone for it's 8 megapixel camera and scratch resistant screen. The screen rotates so that you can view web pages much better when holding the phone horizontal.

- There are only a couple of bad points I could find. One is when I'm using the keypad.. as the keys are flat it can be hard not to press the wrong key when texting etc. has I'm a female it doesn't help having long nails! The other is the text message options.. there isn't as many options to set up text message ie: I don't want to consistently view a whole text conversation between myself and a friend when I receive a new text message from them and I can not seem to remove or stop this from happening. This could be just the network I'm with and may not be the phone's fault.

+ excellent camera.
stylish design

- extremely poor signal within the house. Unable to makle calls. Have to go into the garden!!!!!!

+ Happy with most of phones features.

- Bit crashy sometimes and battery not great.

+ camera is by far the best feature

- software, i had to send it back. Apparently this is a common fault with this model, overall not impressed with this phone.

+ Its a good product with an excellent camera very pleased.

- no bad points from me.

+ Brilliant phone, very modern. Easy internet access, love it.

+ Good for email and the odd bit of web-browsing (but I downloaded Opera separately as I'm not a big fan of the browser that came with the phone. Also, the camera is pretty good too - I've taken some pretty good shots (at concerts) in low light (without the flash) that have come out surprisingly well It's great that you can leave the phone shut, slide open the lens cover and the camera mode automatically switches on.

- Although I know it's the nature of the beast - it is a little bit on the chunky side! It's also terribly frustrating not to be able to use things like Spotify (which is available for Android phones and also for the iphone!)

+ camera, design, pic qaulity, sound, picture veiwing

- battery goes quite quick but still a good phone

+ love the conversation on the texts its brilliant. genius idea.:)

- pad a little stiff on certain numbers but livable with though.

+ decent headphones, comes with 2gb memory card, battery lasts surprisingly long time, conversations function useful, camera good quality, lens cover v. useful

- Difficult to find where recordings go, delivery report doesn't work if you're already on another application, no (known) way of checking previous delivery reports, camera has no manual settings for ISO/aperture/shutter speed,

+ Getting a replacement phone.

- Awful mobile phone. Not reliable. Had 11 repairs and 4 replacements in less than 6 months! Sony need to discontinue this mobile phone. Price is a joke and so is the software. Terrible mobile phone in all.

+ AMAZING Camera, AMAZING Look, AMAZING Features

- Poor Battery Life

+ the camera and video is amazing also quality
i also think the media player and the sound with or without headphones is brilliant

- wish it had locks/pin codes to go into messages ect

+ easy to use

- flat keys took a while to get used to. The lens cover for the camera doesn't closed flush to the rest of the phone.

+ I really wanted a camera with a phone and this was the best phone on the market with 8.1 megapixels. I'm getting used to the sliding phone as I haven't had one like that before the screen is really good and it looks funky too. I love my phone. Had a Sony Ericsson before and would defo recommend to a friend.

- The key pad where the numbers are for texting are flat but i'm getting used to it now. Getting onto the internet can be fiddly.

+ good memory brilliant camera brilliant music sound

- bit bulky

+ the 8.1 megapixel camera/video is fantastic and captures picture quality and sound brilliantly.

+ brilliant camera and video, - video even works in a nightclub, no sound distortion.

- none

+ best camera around, ability to go on internet, gps

- internet automatically goes on 3g, even when i don't want it to; this incurs a charge. not a good battery.

+ If somebody likes to take pictures. That's the phone one should has.

- When taking pictures with flash at night... Sometimes flash affects left side of the picture making it brighter!

+ This phone was made for the camera..... it is amazing! It is so easy to use and produces brilliant pictures. The wifi is also a fantastic feature

- I sometimes find it hard to txt with the flush keys, sometimes pressing the wrong letters

+ Looks good, camera very good, easy to use.

- Battery needs charging quite frequently.

+ very good

- contract did not know when started and when first bill was

+ The phone is a good phone. It has 8megapixel camera with focus and all those gadgeteries like a normal camera, the battery life is very lasting like an usual sony ericsson phone, the design is great, solid cover that protects the phone well, and user-friendly.

+ Easy to use, had Sony Ericsson phones before, easy to adapt to the new features. Quick recharge.

- Battery life could be better, using GPS one afternoon, not left with much battery for phone use.

+ Brilliant camera!, best camera i've ever had on a phone.
Easy to transfer files to and from computer!
Good loud speakers when listening to music & videos.
Nice metallicy pink colour

- Battery life is AWFUL. Have to charge every other day except if been using camera or video player then it's every night!
I would like it to be a little bit slimmer/lighter as it is quite big.
Only other thing is i can't get my message tone to repeat after so many seconds incase i dont hear it. so theres a few messages i haven't seen until a few hours later! but i don't know if this is because you can't make it repeat or if i just haven't found out how to yet!
Apart from that I love the phone! If it had better battery life it would get 10/10 from me!

+ Its really easy to use and it has a brill camara. also really easy to put the images on to the computer. and the internet is good too.

- im being a bit picky but when you end a call , it would be easier just to slide the phone shut instead of making sure you press the button right.

+ excellent fone camera is wicked best fone ive had so far!!

- the battery life is not very gud have 2 charge it every day!

+ I love the look of the phone - very girly! It feels nice to hold and fits easily in pockets as it's not too wide. Very easy to navigate around the menu and the camera is excellent. I've had good success using the navigation system and have found this really handy when out and about (at last a girly phone with practical functions) I've no complaints with the battery life. Overall, I really love this phone both for practical reasons and cosmetic (my daughter is also very keen to get her hands on it!).

- Sound quality is a little poor - it is quieter than I would expect from a Sony and sounds more mono than stereo. Overall though, I still enjoy listening to music on it and if I want a louder sound, I'll just use my stereo.
