...but be happy that the C905 has respectable imaging traits..
Not only is SE's answer to N95 almost 2 years late, it is still lacking specs-wise not counting the camera since the megapixel race is always in motion. Truth is I'm not happy, and the truth is, I won't be buying it even if it had VGA 30fps recording. But the real and ultimate truth is, I'm just frustrated that this is the absolute best SE can come up with
End your frustration..change brand, no need to mess up with your brain. it was as simple as that

Its not SE's answer to the N95! The N95 is a smart phone. This is a feature phone. Big difference.

If I wasn't an SE fanboy, I wouldn't be such a critic. This is why I'm expressing my frustration, because I'm having problems switching to another brand.
@muhammad-oli
The answer to N95 I'm talking about is in terms of innovation. Innovation is 2 active sims in 1 phone (samsung), gps in a mobile device (nokia) etc. They are innovative because they are real everyday solutions. If SE can't come up with anything more decent than shake control then for God's sake, just give us the lousy VGA 30fps

So being a "feature" phone makes it special or something? I mean if a phone is, as you say, "feature" it's ok to have just one "feature" and pay a premium for it? The only "feature" it has is only it's 8MP camera by the time it's release I'm sure plenty of other phones will have that same "feature". So this will leave your "feature" phone not so "feature" anymore.
Samsung INNOV8 has that healthy 8MP camera + S60 + DIVX etc. What does that make it according to your reasoning? A feature/smartphone/digicam/and the list goes on phone?
You're right on 1 account though, the C905 is not the answer to the N95, Samsung's INNOV8 is. SE isn't even close to having an answer for the N95.
The C905 is just a K850 with an extra 3.1mp, WIFI and GPS. Hardly anything special or "feature" about it.
PS: I know what a feature phone is. Just having some fun with the word "feature".

TBH, it seems like the Samsung G810 was their answer to the N95.
It seems like the INNOV8 is Samsung's answer to the C905 (even though the INNOV is a smartphone and the C905 isn't, the pixel count is enough to point out which phone is the real target).
There isn't much that is actually special about the C905. The problem with SE is the fact they haven't released anything that could really be called new or unique. Sure it has more pixels, but eventually every other brand will catch up and the C905 will be nothing special at all.
The INNOV8 is a smart phone with an 8MPX camera, 16GB internal memeory, and DivX playback (or is is XviD?) and a 2.8" screen. That's enough to get quite a few wows out of the crowd.

What have the C905 and INNOV8 got in common apart from the pixel count?
If you don't want the C905 then don't buy it, there are other soon to be announced 8.0MP smart devices from SE - see if they fit the bill.
Honestly, the two devices are completely different with not much in common at all. The C905 isn't marketed as a do-it-all smartphone, its simply a feature phone with a great camera and a few nifty extras, coming from the bloodline of the K750i - K800i - K850i.
The INNOV8 / N95 it certainly isn't but then again
its not trying to be.

@se_dude
It really depends on what you want. I'm a media freak so if I were to buy one, it would be an easy choice.
Sure. The C905 would be a better choice if xenon flash is really important to you, but you would still be losing a hand-full of great features (and Symbian).
But whatever, it all depends on what you like. I'm just giving my opinion. SE's recent circus act has made me lose trust in them and their products.
