Shiho, C905 looks great! Its got the 2 essential features that I was missing & craving for in my K850i: A-GPS & WiFi.
Hopefully quality of photos will be improved significantly over previous Cybershot & Quickshare phones (K750i); however not being able to get great photos on my K850i has left me jaded with SE. I just realized how odd it was for
NOT to print the focal length on around the lens on the K850i and I feel this product was a quick cash grab for SE to make Shiho & other such phones. I still prefer the design of the K850i over C905, but we know which is better spec'd. Thats the problem many of us fell for in the K850i ... spec's! Previously I wouldn't hesitate, but even the W760i being delayed almost 1 mth then now finally shipping recently and now C905 which trounces it, I'm going to be extremely cautious.
However, recent events & announcements have allowed my focus in phones to broaden. QVGA @ 30fps in video recording is just fine for "viewing on a phone", VGA @30fps you won't see any improvement on a QVGA screen anyway - only on TV out. These are minor to me, as long as QVGA @30fps and quality photos to print on 3x4 or 6x8 then I'm fine. I need a smartphone though, so I'll be looking at the BB Bold & Nokia E71. And yes quality is just as good or better in appearance to this C905.
Good to see
finally changed their position on WiFi in phones, and Tri-band 3G is in this phone just like the K850i. However its also in both the BB Bold and Nokia E71/E66.
JM 8.4 ... wondering if the release timeline of C905 coincides with the MIDP3.0 official finalized spec?! hmmm. THIS would be interesting and may sway me back to SE, but ONLY then.

ATTENTION! SE producers/developers answered to our question:
"when will SE break the ice, and will release a phone that will record in VGA"
"SE is not developing one, and will not develop one in the near future, because the Cyber-shot range is dedicated for still photos, not videos"
WTF???????!!!!! This was the answer to the question, and shocked the fans and audience.. Really nice SE!!!!!!!

8MP is useless too you know. it would have been better to have VGA video and say, 6MP or maybe keep it at 5MP.

I have to ask, what makes you need a smartphone? What can a smartphone do that the C905 can't?

589 Euro is unbelieveable! Are all phones that expensive in germany? when k850i (and k810i) arrived, they where around 420 euro max. With 1 year contract ofc.

Well, we have 19% VAT.
RRP prices in the past were 419€ on G900, 449€ on C902, 449€ on W980... I think 699€ on W960. It's always high but drop in no time. Launch market price of the G900 was about 350€.
