So I have had the phone for a little over 24 hours, I am quite pleased thus far, so here is my mini review. I also posted this over at HF.
Build Quality
Almost perfect build quality, probably not as solid as k790/k800 but the materials are so similar, especially that rubber backing which I missed so much, I'm ecstatic it's back. It's not nearly the smudge magnet that the c902/k850i/k550i are, as examples.
The slider
Yes the two parts of the phone do move slightly when the phone is closed or open but it's not something that bugs me, sort of reminds me of how the lens cap moved on my k790i.
Buttons
I am getting used to the buttons, they're better then the ones on my k550i but I wish they were the k790/k800 buttons, but it's not that big a deal.
Camera
The camera is awesome, screw those that keep telling me "if you want to take real photos you should get a real camera" when I was upset with c902's pic quality. The camera on the c905 is real quick to use, just like the k790/k800, but the quality is just light years ahead, the flash is great as well. It FEELS like a camera. You do have to be careful not to cover the sensor on the left hand side of the camera though, I have a couple of foggy photos because of that.
WiFI
The WiFi worked great at my house, although to be quite honest since I'm using Opera anyways it is marginally faster to load pages then with Edge and Opera, both are pretty darned quick.
GPS
I walked around the neighborhood with the GPS, I can't get wayfinder to work, but Google Maps with GPS shows me my exact location, first time GPS user here so it's kind of neat.
UI
Fast, stable and smart just like other SE phones, faster then any SE phone I have had including c902. The themes are nice, especially the dusk one. I have had 4 programs running at once, no memory issues, no slowdown, in fact the firmware seems to be ROCK solid. So I don't see a k850i repeat.
Have I missed anything? Oh yeah, the music player, I won't really play with that until I get my 16gb card to go with it. :hehehe: I played the need for speed game, and you turn corners by moving the entire phone, as we've seen in those iPod touch commercials. Anyone need anymore info I will let you know.

From GSM Arena
"It's just a minor wobble, which we would've let go in a slider, if it wasn't for the terrible squeaking any time you as much as brush it against your ear. This completely rules out taking calls with the slider down."
I have not found that to be the case at all with mine, I have no squeaking with my phone although I do have a little wobble if I check for the wobble (doesn't do it otherwise), I have had the slider down many times taking calls and it's fine on mine.

After reading the GSM review I tested that very thing on my phone, and I don't have any squeaking or anything either. The slider does wobble, but it's such a tiny, tiny movement it doens't matter.

@marty mcfly, had no problem with mine? Although I have debranded mine. And added an internet profile with the apn of 'internet' and no other settings. I use that for all my internet connections
I've just done that very thing and it worked a treat! Thanks Sainty!

It's strange because I've selected the same settings as everything else, but it still doesn't work
Maybe I selected something wrong by mistake when I first opened it, so perhaps a full reset would work. But then again, I might lose the app after that. Hmmm....
I have the same issue, I started wayfinder before i got any internet settings on my phone, I think that may have been a no no. Now it can't connect just like yours.

@Bialynia^^^^ Read my post above, it's resolved.
Create a New Internet profile, name it Vodafone GPRS or whatever network you are on.
In the APN section type: internet (All in lower case)
That's it! Save that profile, and use it for all your net connections. Works perfect!

Anyone know if Skype will work with the C905 over WiFi? I downloaded the version for the c902 and it won't.
