Nothing new here, we heard all the specifications from the rumours circulating the internet, but it's official: the 8.1 megapixel cameraphone Sony Ericsson Cybershot C905 is announced by the company a their 17th of June launch. I really wouldn't be surprised if now a manufacturer launched a phone with HD recording! The Wi-Fi, A-GPS, and HSDPA make sure the phone stays future-proof, although it would be preferable that it had a larger internal memory and a rich Operating System.
“The C905 Cyber-shot™ and S302 Snapshot have been developed to make us all better photographers! That means making it easier to take great shots and never missing that magic moment.” said Sven Totté, Head of Imaging Marketing at Sony Ericsson. “Although both have photography at their core, the phones are very distinct; the 8.1megapixel C905 is a viable alternative to a digital camera and the S302 is perfect for those who don’t want to miss a moment and like to send or Bluetooth™ their photos to their friends.”
Specifications and release date after the jump.

[...] by Meraj Chhaya on July 13, 2008 – 12:33 am It will be difficult to face off against the Sony Ericsson C905, and these leaks just excite the market. First was LG with the KC910 no-image leak, but now Samsung [...]

Meraj Chhaya on Wed, 23rd Jul 2008 9:45 am
Fourth quarter of the year, between October and December
Fraser on Wed, 23rd Jul 2008 1:01 pm
Looked at the whole market, even the new iphones and nothing seems to come close to this phone, I am able to Upgrade with O2 now and want this phone.
Someone tell me a release date…
P.s – Q4 is not a date.
Meraj Chhaya on Wed, 23rd Jul 2008 2:35 pm
The only thing good about this phone is its camera, otherwise the N96, Touch Diamond, and even the iPhone are better.
Of course Q4 isn’t a date, but it gives you a clue that it should be released for Christmas
JuanPham on Sun, 27th Jul 2008 9:38 am
I WANT THIS PHONE……………….bye bye to my K800i. waiting for U babe.
Meraj Chhaya on Sun, 27th Jul 2008 1:35 pm
It’s going to take some time before it gets here, you should get a K850i for the meanwhile, as I see you are a fan of Cybershots. Just by the way, the K850i’s review is coming very soon
M.Hussein on Sun, 27th Jul 2008 3:35 pm

No way. GPS and location tagging of your 8.1MP images. Not to mention the already built in camera for video phone calls. Beat that.
meraj on Tue, 16th Sep 2008 7:51 am
It's missing the internal memory
