In a rather confusing move, Sony Ericsson and AT&T brought the 8.1 megapixel C905 Cyber-Shot along with the W518a Walkman to its already very full line-up of cell phones. The reason why this move is confusing to me along with other tech writers and avid consumers is the fact that the C905 debuted more than a year ago. Sony Ericsson a year ago is a completely different Sony Ericsson than the one that exists today. You must remember that the company just came out with the delicious Satio and Aino phones, which make the C905 seem like ancient history. Even the memory card in each phone tells the tale – the C905 has Sony’s proprietary Memory Stick Micro (M2), while newer Sony Ericsson phones are arriving with MicroSD slots.
Don’t let me come off as negative here, though; it’s good to see another Ericsson that has some real features in AT&T’s lineup. The 8.1 megapixel C905 is the highest resolution camera phone that the carrier provides. It looks sharp, has an acccelerometer, WiFi (802.11b/g), and camera features such as xenon flash, Geo-tagging, face and smile detection, and image stabilization. Consumers will enjoy the FM radio and GPS as well, and the 9 hour (2G) / Up to 4 hour (3G) talk time is pretty decent. Standby time is up to 380 hours (2G) / Up to 360 hours (3G).
Here is an awesome video of the silver C905 by MobileBurn:
Both the C905a Cyber-shot will be available in AT&T stores or at www.wireless.att.com beginning July 19. The Sony Ericsson C905a will be available for $179.99, after mail-in rebate with a two-year service agreement. (For the C905a, pay $ 229.99 and after mail-in rebate receive $50 AT&T Promotion Card.)
