General Comments
Got the Sony Ericsson C905 phone as free upgrade from O2. Really excited about its camera which is really good.
When it comes to SE phones I have great experience with K800i which was working horse as for phone. I can not however say that about C905 as its battery dies after two days. Phone is not even used so I am assuming It dies within a day if I use it.
It has got WIFI which is helpful but I can not get GPS to work as it persistently tries to connect the network. Ok if at home , not so great outside if telephone uses your internet usage through O2 access point. GPS should be sorted out as Nokia does.
Call quality is good, handful of ring tones and other stuff which is useful.
There is no power safe mode to spare battery. Even if you knock screen brightness down, switch off WIFI discovery and bluetooth battery still gets drained quite quickly.

i have a spare bat for mine with an independant charger. Not needed very often but i do agree the bat life is not the best. The new bat i have seems to last longer that the one suplied with the phone, but could just be me.

Year after I upgraded to C905.
<br/>I would not recommend that phone to anyone as keys fail to function, speaker does not work so I can receive calls on loudspeaker only. Battery got worse and currently lasts one day. Camera still takes great pictures. Outcome: Great camera, useless phone.
