The latest handset to bear the Cyber-shot banner is the new flagship C905. Boasting an 8.1 megapixel camera, WiFi, and GPS, the Sony Ericsson C905certainly has a great feature-set. We take a closer look to get the whole picture. The Sony Ericsson C905 comes in a sliding form factor that features a very smooth action. The sliding mechanism is sprung, and flicks into place with reassuring precision.

The whole device feels very well screwed together and features an intelligent selection of materials. Actual dimensions are 104mm x 49mm x 18mm (4.1" x 1.9" x 0.7"), and the C905 slides into a pocket with no trouble. The front of the device is home to the 2.4" QVGA(INFO) display that is capable of showing up to 262,144 colors. Above the battery cover is the camera's active lens cover, which sports a brushed metal finish. With the device in landscape mode, the upper section can be slid downwards, causing the lower section to recess into the phone. The C905 is the first Cyber-shot to be equipped with assisted GPS and though we couldn't test this (we were indoors and it requires a SIM card to work) we were assured that it would be more responsive than the lugubrious GPS on the first Nokia N95 and the Sony Ericsson W760i. Like the upcoming iPhone 3G, the Sony Ericsson C905 will also support the geo-tagging of photos out of the box.
