Features of the Sony Ericsson C905

The cell phone comes with the 8 mega pixel digital camera along with other great digital camera equipment. Similar to almost pro level point and shoot cameras, the C905 phone comes with auto focus, an image stabilizer, a Xenon flash, a red eye reducer, and video calling. The quality of pictures that can be taken with the C905 is simply amazing, not only for a cell phone but for higher end digital cameras as well. The images are crystal clear, and users have a fair amount of control over the contrast and resolutions of the pictures. The C905 is also capable of taking videos that are of high quality for a cell phone. One important thing about the digital camera on the phone is that Sony made it user-friendly so that anybody can take great pictures with this phone.

The picture taking capabilities are not the only thing about this phone that makes it stand out. The Sony Ericsson C905 also functions as an MP3 player and as an FM radio. It features a satellite GPS system that comes with Google maps, which is a free application that is included on the phone. Another interesting feature of the Sony Ericsson C905 is the Wi-Fi connectivity. When you turn the Wi-Fi on, it will give you a list of nearby hot spots to use. It only takes a single click to connect to the Internet. The phone also comes with instant messaging and an RSS feed along with email capability.

The Appearance of the Sony Ericsson C905

The Sony Ericsson C905 has a TFT QVGA display screen that measures 2.4inches with a scratch resistant glass cover that also serves as the view finder for the camera. It has a thickness of 18mm - 19.5mm, which is not small compared to other cell phones. Considering all the capabilities this phone has, it is not overly large and one has to remember that this is not a smart phone but is advertised as a camera phone. The actual phone measures 104 x 49 x 18mm, and weighs in at 136 grams.

The phone is made in both silver and black to give it a cool modern feel. The cell phone features a completely flat keypad that is easy to type on and does not tend to get stuck which has been a problem with similar keypad styles. To use the keypad you must slide the cover open on the phone which provides easy and quick access to the keypad and function buttons. On the left side of the C905 you can find a memory card slot for your digital pictures. The slot takes a M2 memory card which assists in storing extra pictures on your camera. The left hand side of the cell phone contains the volume controls, a camera shutter key, and a camera function button for easy control of the phone.
