I promised that I’d do a post answering most of the tons of questions asked in the comments of the Sony Ericsson C905 post. So, this is what I’ll be doing in this post. Note, that it’s possible there might be some slight changes in the final production unit.
Q. What kind of phone is this?
A. It’s a quad-band GSM / GPRS / EDGE phone (all versions) with UMTS & HSDPA support in the European version (2100 MHz) and American version (850 / 900 / 2100 MHz). We’re guessing it’s 3.6 Mbps HSDPA.
Q. When will it be available and at what price?
A. It’ll be available in early Q4. We expect the price to be around £400 SIM free.
Q. What’s the camera specifications?
A. It’s an 8.1 mega pixel camera sensor (3264 x 2448 pixels) with auto focus and face recognition, and many more advanced camera features. It’s got a xenon flash for still photos, and a photo flash (the improved one) for videos. Videos are recorded in VGA resolution (640 x 480 pixels) QVGA resolution (320 x 240 pixels). It does not feature optical zoom. The focal length is 5.91 mm, and the aperture is fixed at f/2.8.
Q. What kind of display is it?
A. It’s a 2.4 inch large scratch-resistant TFT display made of mineral glass. The resolution is QVGA (240 x 320 pixels). It can show up to 262.144 colours (18 bit).
Q. Is this a smart phone? What’s the OS?
A. No, this is a feature phone, not running any sort of smart phone operating system. It looks like it’ll run a newly developed OS based on the older A2 platform, although this has not been confirmed.
Q. What’s the web browser in it?
A. Access NetFront.
Q. How much memory does it have?
A. 160 megabytes of internal memory storage, and a 2 gigabyte Memory Stick Micro (M2) comes bundled.
Q. Does it feature W-LAN?
A. Yes, it does, and with further support for DLNA. No details on whether this is 802.11b or 802.11b/g.
Q. Does it feature a 3.5 mm jack port?
A. No, it doesn’t feature a 3.5 mm jack port.
Q. Does it feature mobile TV?
A. You can have TV streamed to the phone via UMTS / HSDPA, but there’s no DVB-H support or alike.
I guess that was it 
It will have a torch. That is why it has a PhotoFlash LED.

It has to have a smart phone OS because in the full specs on gsmarena it says it has WiFi and I don’t know any phone from Sony Ericsson or another company for that matter that has WiFi and isn’t a smart phone

and also it has both the xenon flash and the LED light so it will have a quality flash and will probably be able to use it as a torch as well.

N95 came out over a year ago with 640×480@30fps video. If you have never had a phone with this feature you will not realise that after being able to make phone calls this is far and away the best feature a phone can have, forget taking statuc silent photos. So SE have a new phone with qvga video in late 2008, whoopee doo what a waste of metal.

I totally agree with what James has just said in the last post. There are so many phones out now which can record at VGA 30fps. Take for instance the Viewty that records at that quality straight to divx. Even the new LG 8mp that is due in october as well, will have this feature with the xenon flash & face recognition like the SE C905.
SE should learn how to move with the times as QVGA is a quality that is no longer wanted in handsets. Sure it is good for youtube, but having it piped out onto a large screen tv via the tv out, will look really cheap & shoddy.
I am a sony fan boy but will resort in getting a different handset because of the bad video capture.

Hi I was also wondering what the little H in the blue box is all about? It disappears every now n then and then comes back for a while, apparently completely at random! Can’t find anything about it in the manuals or anywhere!
If anyone has any clues please let us know, thank you!

I’ve just found on another review site (but for the C702) a comment that says a similar sounding ‘H’ in a box means you’re in a high speed 3G reception area, maybe that’s it.

The H is displayed when an HSPA connection is active, whether it be HSDPA or HSUPA (depending on your phone, of course)

I bought a C905 3 days ago. At first everything were OK but then I noticed that when I leave the phone at stand-by screen for some minutes, the screen goes black (although the phone is working).Even I open the phone the screen is still black. In order for the screen to work OK again I leave the phone closed for some minutes and then it works alright
What can I do to fix it ?

A small icon on my main home screen appeared the other day and i was wondering what it meant. It looks slightly like a radio but i have not used the radio on my phone so presumably it cant be anything to do with that.
Any ideas?!!
