Review: Sony Ericsson C905a
The main messaging menu shows you a quick overview of your different inboxes, including texts, IMs, emails and voice mails.
The first selection takes you to the message composition screen. After you've addressed the message and composed it, there is an icon menu bar at the bottom of the screen. This is where you can choose to add pictures, animations, videos, music, open the camera or add pre-recorded sounds. The icons were more fun to interact with than a regular menu.
AT&Ts mobile email application lets you choose from a list of 11 email service providers, such as Yahoo, AIM, Hotmail, and Comcast. Mind-bogglingly, Gmail isn't available, and you can't add your own POP3/IMAP accounts. (The lack of Gmail is mitigated by the fact that Google offers a decent Java-based Gmail application that you can download directly to the handset.) As with other Sony Ericsson phones, you can set up the email accounts to remember your password, negating the need to sign in all the time, and you can choose to send the email application to run the background. This maintains the connection, and lets you scoop up email messages faster than if you opened the program fresh each time. It won't push email to you, but when you resume using the email application, all you need to do is perform a sync and new emails show up in an instant. This way you don't have to sign in to retrieve your email.
The IM client supports AIM, Windows Live Messenger and Yahoo Messenger. You can load multiple accounts per client, as well as save conversations, set up alerts and so on. It was pretty easy to maintain multiple conversations at once.
