What's Hot

8.1-megapixel camera, Xenon flash, face detection, good build quality, impressive layout of keys and design, built-in GPS

What's Not

No optical zoom, lens cover somewhat loose, no 3.5mm headphone jack or adapter, slightly sluggish interface

The Final Word

If you’re purely after a phone for imaging, then the C905 will be right up your alley. While we’re still waiting for optical zoom, the photos it produces are pretty noteworthy for a camera phone. An excellent design and good build quality are slightly let down by a somewhat sluggish user interface and a proprietary headphone jack.
