    Small time? Have you searched on my name on Google? Blowing my own trumpet here, but I’m the arguably most influential smartphone journalist in Europe. Certainly in the Symbian OS world. Apologies for boasting - I’ll stop now.

    Your reviews are v.good however i want to ask u a question even though u have mentioned it. You said u can only use the headphones that were supplied by them. So i can use my other headphone which are the ones that go inside your ear. If the answer is no, then why did sony ericsson do such a stupid thing lol.

    Hey Steve,
    Thanks for your review! Ive seen some video’s and read some reviews about this phone. You are the first one saying that the wayfinder navigation software is a trial. Can you tell me how long this trial is and what it costs after?
    Ive read also that the GPS signal isnt very strong but im oke with that.
    Thanks in advance =)
    Greets, Robbin

    Its appears the C905 has a major Headset speaker fault when it fails in the middle of a call. Meaning a replacment handset!

    N82 yes. Despite the small screen and keypad. But it’s a tight race. 5800 and N97 look good in the S60 world, too…

    Haven’t tried that but it doesn’t look promising….

    Money is not a problem. If I put in N96, the choice is still n82? or even n95.

    Comment | May 3, 2009
  • TanathosX360

    Oh, thats nice to know. So… no n96, no n85. N82 is the way to go then? Nothing about Lg kc910 renoir?

    Comment | May 3, 2009
  • stevelitchfield

    dual processors, graphics acceleration, a FAR better camera, better video recording…. shall I go on? The N85 only wins on the screen really….

    Comment | May 3, 2009
  • TanathosX360

    Hows that? What does the n82 havev that n85 doesnt?

    Comment | May 3, 2009
  • stevelitchfield

    None of them. Get a Nokia N82.

    No idea why I picked Vodafone over 15 years ago, but most of my SIMs are still with them. I do have an O2 one, too. And a T-Mobile. And an Orange one….. etc. 8-)

    Vodafone Steve?
    ;)
    Neh mind eh, i’ve been forwarding some of my O2 collegues over to your phones show for info, you answer questions far better than I can!

    Anyways mate. All the best. Rock n Roll…

    BTW how’s Huwy lately?

    When I had the W800i years ago it blew my mind I want another one.

    Don’t forget that the N95 is a slider and will presumably have less strenuous tests to pass. The phones I was shown being tested were mainly N78 and N79 units, i.e. ‘candy bars’, which tend to be the strongest. I’ve been using an N82 for the last month and it’s just indestructible. Lot to be said for having no moving parts….. 8-)
