Sony Ericsson C905 - user opinions and reviews

Sony Ericsson

I've had this Phone for 11 months Now.
I purchased this phone on Jan 2009 and I've had NO Problems at all with the Phone.
problems about earpiece: No Problem on Mine.
Problem on Slider: No problems at all
Problems on keyboard: no problem at all.

It even fell on water for like 1 sec and the Wifi, GPS and Accelerometer Broke, I was Really Sad,,, a month later the Wifi, GPS and Accelerometer Began Working again :) (GPS not that OK, but who cares)

Wifi works Great, Accelerometer Works as Expected.
Even GPS I use it once in a while and works with Google Maps.

I've updated the phone with Latest Software Version and Now I have YouTube, Google Maps 3.0 and Facebook built-in!!!

Menus and phone itself is fast..
I've been using K750i, K800i, K850i and C905a and I've been more than happy with my phones... I'll be switching in January Most Likely to a Sony Ericsson Aino Phone (Satio is TOOO Expensive)

I have to admit that the only good quality of this Hp is its great camera. The flash and the settings really makes it comparable to some of the digital cameras out there.

But there is where it stops. I had multiple problems with this phone and was definitely glad it was stolen from me.

I related my experience here: 2 weeks after buying the phone, the earpiece spoiled. I could not hear any calls. To make it worst Sony Ericsson could not repair it because in my country (nation-wide according 2 repair centres i went) there were no C905 repair parts. So i had to wait for 3 weeks before i repaired it for the parts to arrive.

Upon getting back my phone. The earpiece was repaired, only to discover 3 days later that 2 of the buttons plus the centre menu button were spoiled. So i relunctantly sent it. After that all 3 buttons were working.

Everything was fine for 1-2 weeks until the menu button spoiled again. I didnt send for repair until 1 month later. When the same 2 buttons spoiled again. I tried to logged a complain with SE only to have the complain email rebounced back 1 month later. I was really disappointed with Sony's service and the quality of the phone. Was really glad to be rid of this phone though.

had mine for 11months, and the ribbon inside that connects the top panel and LCD to the back of the phone broke,

bearing in mind the excessive use i put it under, it was a matter of time, great phone though :)

I have been using cybershot cam for years and so far c905 was the last draw, it was really dissapointing, overrated, after just one month, the keypad got stuck eventhough i handle my phone well, then a another month the problem with the speaker arises. really really bad phone waste of time and money im really dissapointed with SE

wow.... very nice in looks... very attractive... I love the phone but with all the opinions i rather not buy this... Im just scared of having a crappy phone.. I have had 3 sony ericssons before ...all are great phone. except my t700 in its 6 months i need to send it to repair because it does not have a sound when receiving messages and calls. I want to grab this phone. but as I can see there's a lot of bad comments compared to good one.... help me decide pips...

> In reply to mobilelover @ 2009-11-09 13:07 from nTpkI have had my mobile for just under a year, I am very happy with it. Even though its been back in for repair twice.
Once with the speaker as I couldnt hear anything and when it came back it had lost all the software that came with it, because it was put back to factory settings and it is now in repair because the right hand keys are sticky.
Mine is with o2 and I have the phone back within a week so have to give o2 a tap on the back, they also have excellent customer service.
I have the snap fish problem but it doesnt effect my enjoyment of the phone.
Love the photos and especially the video on it.
I could complain about it, but I love the phone.

I really wanted this phone since it came out for the awesome camera and stylish good looks. While I waited paitently due to limited stock, I read all the reviews on this phone and one thing stood out... most people reported that the on-board speaker becomes faulty and its difficult to hear the other person when on a call. Against my better judgement, I persuaded myself that this wouldn't happen to the one I got, but unfortunately after only 1 week of owning this phone, the on-board speaker became faulty and now the person on the other end of the line sounds fuzzy and distorted. I have sent it in for repairs and have received it back with tool marks and scratches on the covers (but thats a separate issue). Please people, read these reviews, if enough people say the same thing, it has to be true. This seems to be a common problem with Sony Ericsson slide phones, because 3 other people I know with the SE Walkman series phones all have the same issue. It seems as if Sony Ericsson is unable to make a decent slide phone. Please, get it right or stop trying !!
