My current contract has just come to an end & I have been looking at what phones are available to replace my existing phone (the Sony Ericsson W850i). At the time of writing, I can see that the only devices that even merit my attention are the HTC Touch diamond & of course, the one that everyone I speak to seems to be raving about, the iPhone.

Having seen both of those devices in the flesh (due to the impulsive employees in my office), I am impressed in different ways by them both, but I am glad that I resisted the urge to buy into another lengthy contract with either of them. The reason for that is the C905! This phone would appear to be the complete all round package & the only phone that has so far managed to grab my complete attention.

Yes there are other phones that do this & other phones that do that, but they tend to fall short of the complete package. I have looked at the whitepaper for this phone, & this phone would appear to have more features than you can shake a stick at. The 8.1MPixel camera with XENON FLASH, coupled with geo tagging is as complete as it gets because let's not forget, This is a phone. A phone that offers high speed Internet access via HSPDA or Wi-Fi, has built in GPS & support for Assisted GPS, can print directly to a photo printer via USB, & much much more. Oh & let's not forget, this phone looks damn good.

I am definitely holding out for this one! Roll on September.

I have gone to many different sites to read up on this baby, & to be honest, it is a complete package phone, normally you wouldn't find a phone which has so many good & reliable functions packed into one, the sleek design of the phone, the nice compact size, the reliable brand name which has proved over & over again that Sony are capable of leading any market in the electronic game.

The great thing about the phone is that, if you are at a location & you really enjoyed yourself, you can simply take a picture on your C905, it adds information to the picture such as the usual date & time stamp, but, Sony has focused themselves on Geo tagging, you simply put your GPS system on & click on the Geo tagging dial for the picture & it will pinpoint your location where you are & adds the information to the picture.

They have focused this phone to be for the picture takers rather than the usual stand alone phone user, although any consumer purchasing this phone will be more than happy with its results.

The phones primary function is more of a camera then an actual phone, music wise, it stores x amounts of songs depending on the size of the memory stick, although it has its own internal memory storage, people may moan of the small internal memory but then what are you needing so much space for, the external memory stick can offer you the better deal in this. I have noticed with many Sony Ericsson phones that the speaker is not as loud as a Nokia N95 (8GB) & some of the other Nokia phones, I am hoping it will deliver better sound than most of its older phones.

Overall the functions & brilliance of Sony Ericsson has come out yet again to deliver only what Sony Ericsson can do.

I have held a few Sony Ericsson phones as well & the OS on them have been OK, I have noticed with a lot of them as time goes by after treating them with TLC the software seem to slow down or freeze or unneeded bugs as with other phones but have noticed Sony Ericsson's phones seem to hold this a lot more than other phones. Let's hope Sony has made plans to keep updates & fixes to a minimum & allow users to enjoy their phone a lot more.

Phone will be out possibly late September early October time. Honest Reviewer Jack Jones.
