Word has it that Sony Ericsson will soon be releasing an upgraded version of the C905, which will include 8 gigabytes of internal memory, so that you may store even more of your photos right on the phone.
Is it true? Not sure. We’ll see into that…

Sony Ericsson has recently put one of those 3D phone demos on some of their regional sites. In my opinion, it should have been available a bit earlier, but oh well, better late than never… Cool thing this time is that it also has small clips incorporated into it that demonstrate some of the phone’s features, but without using the 3D engine (unlike previous 3D demos). Have a look:
C905 in 3D
Note: I couldn’t access it on the UK site, so the link directs to the Bulgarian site. The demo is still in English, though.
Here’s a neat little video of the Smile Shutter feature in action on the Sony Ericsson C905. It seems incredibly speedy, doesn’t it? 
I had originally promised you a camera comparison between the Sony Ericsson C905 and the Nikon D80, but I didn’t have time to do this comparison back then. Now, we’re back with a large comparison between the C905 and the Nikon D90 (don’t have the D80 with me currently, so this is the other choice).
About this duel
All the samples shot with the C905 were shot with automatic settings and flash disabled, unless needed. All the samples were shot in high quality JPEG mode. The Nikon D90 was set to aperture priority mode (f/3.8), with flash disabled. All the samples were shot in RAW (uncompressed file format), and converted to TIFF with Adobe Lightroom 2.2 using default conversion settings.
It’s important that you’re aware of the fact that you can completely change how the pictures look when you shoot in RAW format. If they’re too dark, you can simply knock up the exposure in the post-processing without affecting the quality of the picture. This is not possible with pictures shot in JPEG format, which means the C905 is suffering from a severe disadvantage even before we kick off the comparison.
It’s also rather important to point out that there’s no such thing as a perfect RAW converter, and that they’ll all convert the RAW images differently. Most of the unprocessed RAW images, in my opinion, are better than the converted ones, but like I said earlier on, you can always change the look of RAW images.
I will briefly comment on each set of samples, and pick a definitive winner in the end of this post. All the following samples are 100 percent crops of the original pictures. The JPEGs are unprocessed and the RAW images have been converted, as explained earlier on. To cut down on the bandwidth, I’ve decided not to include the full resolution samples. (more…)
Sony Ericsson today also announced that it will provide a large firmware update for the Sony Ericsson C905, that is designed to add extra value to the phone. Sony Ericsson calls it the “C905 Cyber-shot upgrade” and features the following:
Other than that, there’ll be the usual bug fixing, etc. The upgrade will be available from mid-February, presumably offered via Sony Ericsson Update Service.
Also announced today is the Tender Rose colour variant of the C905, which will be available this quarter of the year.
I can finally say that our review of the Sony Ericsson C905 is now completed, and we’re pretty happy with the result. Almost 7,000 words and more than 120 pictures went into this review, and my fellow blog editor, NightBlade, has been a great help with this review. I hope you’ll enjoy reading his contributions to the review as much as I did.
We’re quite pleased with the C905, and ended up giving it a USEB Score of 83%, which is the highest score we’ve ever given a feature phone.
We’ve gathered a few video samples in various lighting conditions for you. This should allow you to check out the video quality of the C905 video clips. If you’re not satisfied with the quality of the embedded player, you can also download the original video files at the links below the player.

Here we’ve got a set of camera samples from the Sony Ericsson C905. Most of the pictures have been shot on auto settings, but the duplicates have been shot using different settings, including Smart Contrast, which proves useful sometimes. Enjoy the samples after the break! (more…)
Sony Ericsson has just sent me a list of their Christmas gift tips of the year. The list the following phone gifts includes:
Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 – Flagship phone of the year, combining both work and entertainment with the unique panel solution and large touch-sensitive display. Read our large review of the XPERIA X1 here!
Sony Ericsson C905 – Camera flagship phone of the year, with what’s probably the best mobile camera right now and a variety of advanced features.
Sony Ericsson W595 – Music slider with stereo speakers, a youth-appealing design and an excellent price. I wouldn’t doubt for a second that it’s going to end up under many Christmas trees this year. Read our preview of the W595 here!
It’s not all about phones though, and the list includes some accessories as well, all featuring Bluetooth:
Sony Ericsson MBW-200 – Cool Bluetooth watch for the female audience that will vibrate upon messages and calls, and also enabling you to perform simple actions on your phone via Bluetooth.
Sony Ericsson HBH-PV-715 / 720 / 740 – Sony Ericsson’s most advanced Bluetooth headsets yet that are bound to impress both technically and visually.
Sony Ericsson MBS-200 – Wireless Bluetooth speaker with a small OLED display to show song information. A 3.5 mm jack input makes it possible to use this speaker on a standard wired connection as well.
This is just a short experimental video featuring the C905 and some upclose macro shots that should come in handy in the future. Basically, it’s a sneak peak of what we’ll be able to do from now on, and I thought I’d add the C905 to gain some attention. Let us know what you think!
We haven’t got any details as to when we’ll post a review of the C905, but we’re hoping to do so this month. We’ve also got a rather nice comparison coming up soon. Here’s a hint of what it’s about:
By the way, we’re closing in on a total of 36,000 views for our videos at Blip.tv – thanks for all the views, hopefully you didn’t regret pressing the play-button
