Margaret, Liverpool , “Basic text and chat user” More like this »

+ I'm delighted with the phone. I'm not one for using all the features it has, so can't really comment, but generally, its easy to use, good looking and does everything I want and more

- I don't really have any, except maybe it's a bit annoying that shutting the phone doesn't automatically take you back to your wallpaper, like most slide phones I've had. You've if you've been messaging, then you have to back out of the message screen and menu etc to get back to your wallpaper. That's no big deal though

+ Very easy to use. Great features. Amazing camera....so so easy to use. The quality of the video & camera is amazing. Fab larger screen

- The ridge around the number area makes texting difficult & the fact the numbers aren't raised it has definitely slowed my texting abilty down considerably! Was rather disappointed that no mention has been made about this in any feedback I'd looked at before purchasing. feel it is very awkward & major flaw in the structure of the keypad!

+ The Camera has great features, particularly the ability to save pictures once enlarged.

- Operations don't automatically lock when you slide the phone shut and this means it can be texting and phoning in your bag

+ Very stylish and takes great video and photos.

- Found the keypad a bit tricky to start with, and the battery needs recharging nearly every other day -this isn't great compared to the last SE Cybershot I had.

+ Very nice camera, very easy to text. compact, but quite sturdy.

+ Looks great, fantastic camera and not too bulky.

- The key pad feels a bit close together, its probably the hardest phoone ive had to text on (its not that hard), but Im not saying its a bad feature or too hard to text, its the only bad point I can think of.

Dominic, Brentwood , “Other”

+ It looks great and the features are good. It's very similar to the other Sony Ericssons i've had. The camera is great and so are the features with it.

- Battery life is pretty poor, but not as bad as some. The signal reception is pretty bad which was also true for my old Sony Ericsson, even though i've changed networks

+ Im not great with technology so I like that the symbols are clear and I find the functions on the key pad easy to use too (like switching the phone to silent mode etc) - and I appreciate the Info that explains functions. There are different ways of bringing up contacts, music, web which is also good as you can work out which one best suits you. I also really like that it doesnt automatically assume you want to use predictive text! Im not a fan of that, so I like that it always gives you first choice to type yourself.

- some things are too easy to delete and others impossible! for example, clearing a contact from your phone, you can delete the full contact but the number could still appear in recently text numbers, text conversation, call lists etc. you have to go to each section individually to delete information. Then I accidentally deleted my music and photos and had no way of retrieving them - Im still not entirely sure how I did it, so am worried I may do it again.

Summary of Sony Ericsson C905 Reviews from Across the Web

Everything you would expect to see in a stand-alone camera has been put in this phone, lending heavily on its cyber shot heritage. There is also a good range of features, such as Wi-fi, GPS and geotagging. It is, however, let down by its size and weight.
