14 DAY TRIAL // Sony Ericsson C905, the latest Cyber-shot handset that the Swedish-Japanese company will try to conquer the high-end market with, is now featured in a new video demo, aimed to lure "adventurous mobile users."
The C905 slider has already appeared in a video presentation released by Sony Ericsson, but the new one is more like a commercial, relating the handset to the daring side of life and concentrating on its photo camera and GPS capabilities.
C905's camera seems to be one of the best ever integrated into a mobile phone, as it brings 8.1 Megapixels, Xenon flash, auto focus, face detection, image stabilizer, geotagging, smart contrast, red eye reduction and video recording. Besides this and the built-in GPS, the handset also features: a scratch-resistant 2.4 inch TFT display with 240 x 320 pixels and 262K colors, Wi-Fi, Music and Video players, stereo Bluetooth (A2DP included), TV out, FM radio with, email, NetFront browser, Instant Messaging and quad-band GSM connectivity plus HSDPA.
The C905 weighs 125 grams and, when closed, it measures 103 x 55 x 18 millimeters - maybe a bit too thick, but we've seen thicker sliders before (Nokia's N95 8GB, for example).
Although lots of mobile users can hardly wait to get their hands on the new C905, Sony Ericsson will only release the Cyber-shot flagship in the fourth quarter of the year, most probably starting October, in three color versions: Ice Silver, Night Black and Copper Gold. The official retail price of C905 was not announced, but it should be around 500 Euros ($790) in the first months of availability. After that, the price will most probably become more affordable, as it happens with most phones a while after their initial release.
Until October, enjoy the C905 video:
