Shiho is the codename of the upcoming Cyber-shot flagship model from Sony Ericsson, and we’ve got everything about it! Its final name will be C905, and it’ll be announced along with some phones on the 17th of this month. In this post we’ll announce it for Sony Ericsson, and save them the trouble, plus give the competitors a little something to wee their pants about.

The C905 is the latest camera offering from Sony Ericsson featuring a fully spec’d 8.1 mega pixel camera with auto focus, face recognition, a new feature called Smart Contrast, image stabilization, BestPic, red-eye reduction, xenon flash as well as photoflash for both photos and videos. It’s got a video stabilizer feature as well. You can geo-tag your photos with the built-in GPS with further support for A-GPS, and the large camera resolution makes it possible to do prints in up to A3 sizes! Your photos will automatically flip to landscape mode, when you tilt your phone, as it’s got a built-in accelerometer. You’ll be able to watch your photos on a beautiful 2.4 inch QVGA-resolution scratch-resistant mineral glass TFT display. Feel like sharing your photos on a TV-set? That’s possible as well with the TV-Out Cable ITC-60, also to be announced on the 17th.

That’s not all, though… C905 will be the first feature phone by Sony Ericsson to sport built-in WiFi with DLNA-support, so all media in your home can be shared. It’s also got the latest in Bluetooth connections, supports USB 2.0 data transfers, and can be synchronized with Exchange ActiveSync.

The Sony Ericsson C905 measures 104 x 49 x 18 (19.5) millimetres, and weighs a massive 136 grams. It’ll be available in Copper Gold, Ice Silver & Night Black in early Q4, with a bundled 2 GB Memory Stick Micro M2. It comes in three variants, two with full support for UMTS and HSDPA in the certain regions (even America). The battery is good for 380 hours of standby or 9 hours of talk on GSM networks, or 360 hours of standby or 4 hours of talk on 3G networks.

don't like the design. makes me think of the old Nokia 6280.

quite old skool design...but somehow, the dpad area like those SE Japanese phones
even the beibei dpad area utilize se japs one

The phone looks nice..
Gonna sell my E90 fast..lol
Being crazy to follow the flow of hp technology

IMO, most slide phone will facing some difficulty pressing at key 1, 2, 3

W850i is good example

it doesnt look as good as so905ics

Jap vs europe design ?

too conservative euro design

I was expecting more of s700i, w900i japan influence on it than a w910i style look with a better cam

haha...altthough for me bit very good looking but okla...js like n82, not so good looking (except the black) but hv good specs under its hood...
hope its camera will turn out well n can live up to cybershot name n customers expectations (after failure with k850, g900 n c902---base on smape review)
n lets hope this phone can outperform at least n82, n upcoming nokia high end cam phone...

(ps: so many hope )

OMG! How can you compare this to nokia n82? I think it looks much better than the recent leaks of Nokia (N79, N85, 5800 and 6260). All of the recent N-series is too N81-ish... Sort of reminded me of the moto's RAZR V3-ish-es.

allergic with the slider!!! HELPPPPPP>>>

haha...dont angry bro
what i mean, certain ppl find n thinks (including me) that this phone not so good looking..it js like when ppl 1st encountered the n82, all think its not so good looking..but in the end, many bought it coz it has good/excellence spec...so this c905 although certain ppls think not so beautiful but if it has the correct price, n its performance (especially the camera) n specs really like stated above...sure many ppls will bought it

nway, i really agree on the last part...new nokia design really2 not nice ----> dunno how to say anymore

quite nice design...yeah seems like Nokia 6280...i have use 3 slider phone so far, no major damaged regarding the slider...its depend on the user how they use the phone...nice effort from SE for the camera.

not bad nor bad...plain design

The design can't make me "Wah!!"
The keypad looks like W910 a lot.

Wondering how is the camera quality

the last pic the sticker saying show off unit ... lol so that unit can only take to show off , haha

designs ok leh... now , when is it coming out .lol

The design and spec looks promising but i had a bad time with slider phone..my samsung slider just broken..haiyaa..almost 6-7 time send to warranty within the 18 months FMG gave me..

so this slider c905 might be ur 1st SE slider for u to experienced it...
it might perform well n meets ur expectations..who knows rite?

if non-slider,i will consider. i dont like slider currently... candybar more robust...

Slider not bad wat... i used to think that also... then my Treo 650 cacat... started using my old Nokia 6600 again, and DAMN! LAG TO THE MAX! So slow! so i took my bro's LG Chocolate (he's using Nokia E90 now) and liking it so far... Its nice... But the phone itself is very basic la... What i mean is, it gave me a different feeling towards sliders after using the Chocolate...
