So to sum it all up, the following haven't happened to your C905s:
- Wobbly lens cover
- Dead earpiece
- Scratched keypads
What retailer did you get your 3 Shiho's from?
None of those issues was present on them, I got all of them from Popular Electronics in Chicago:

Overseas Electronics (next door to Popular Electronics) gets SE phones from the same distribution channel as well, I might just call them today and ask if they have had any returns because of a wobbly lens cover, dead earpiece or scratched keypads, granted they only allow for exchanges within 3 days but who knows.

To be honest I don't really mind these negative aspects of the phone's build since they're pretty minor; all my SE phones have shown how much worse they can get

But I'm just kinda surprised that with the last flagship phones (K850 and now C905), a lot of people here report that they have also experienced such problems. Well, I guess seeing is believing in this case.

6-7 phones it's not that much on a forum the size of esato, and that doesn't meen that all C905 have those faults

True, I guess it just makes you more wary. I don't think there has been even a fraction of the amount of complaints we had with the K850i when that was launched.

Well at least two of my locals have got a dead earpiece, but the rest of them are very satisfied with C905. My only qualm is that the software is actually not much of an improvement over my trusty C702, although the hardware seems to be a lot better.

I am sure the dead earpiece thingy will get settles in the subsequent batches.

My C905 earpiece was BROKEN in all of a sudden, without reason, 10 days after the purchase.
I must send that stupid phone for a repair.
Here in Malang, Indonesia, they can't fix it. They sent mine to Surabaya, the capital city of my province, for another foolish 6 week-long waiting. It may be longer.
I believe the phone will likely be sent to Jakarta, the country's capital, which means another 3 month-long waiting for such an expensive crap by SE stupid engineers.
I used to be a faithful SE lover. Esato knows it for heaven sake.
But that's enough.
Too many problems with SE lately.
I am very disappointed with SE.

My C905 has been in a service centre for almost 2 weeks awaiting a part coming in well so they say.
Seems like it will never be coming back. Very disappointed I waited for this phone since July and when it finally hit the shops after a months delay they still couldn't get it right.
You would think something like the earpiece fault would be picked up early in prototypes but it seems almost as widespread as the touch screen pad going on the K850i. I know people with later models which seem fine.

aremaboy is one of the locals that I mentioned on my previous post. But yeah it does make me a bit paranoid. Because aftersales service is a real issue in my country.
