Sony Ericsson C905a
The Sony Ericsson C905a cell phone’s best feature is its camera capabilities. High-end camera phones are rare and as a result they are a much needed commodity for people everywhere.

Design and User Interface (4 out of 5)
The Sony Ericsson C905a falls into the candybar phone category but it is relatively thick and rather weighty at 4.8 ounces. The body of the phone is mainly plastic with a light silver coat. The phone is a stylish accessory with its angular edges and thick body which leans towards to the more classic styling of older phone models. It’s available in silver and black.
The C905a’s keys are flat with ridges in between the buttons perfect for dialing and typing almost blindly. The phone’s display is at a resolution of 240x320 and measures 2.5 inches. These display specifications are rather small but on a positive note it does not reflect shine outdoors unlike many OLED phone displays.
The Sony Ericsson C905a has a simple interface with quick selection keys at either end of the bottom of the screen and a large area for a wallpaper of your choice. The battery meter, service bar and additional alerts are featured on the top corners of the screen. The phone’s menu consists of icons for the inbox, camera function, settings, games etc.
