Review: Sony Ericsson C905a
Browser
The C905a's browsing performance is very good. Matched with AT&T's HSDPA network, it pulls down graphic-intensive sites quickly. AT&T's home page loads in little more than an instant. Web sites look clean and clear, and the good display make for easy reading of even the smallest text.
The content on the MEdia.Net home page is not different from that offered by most other carriers. You can get weather reports and news headlines. You can customize it to your location so that your local weather forecast shows up. You can optimize the view between full screen, landscape, and text only, as well as pan around and zoom within web pages.
The browser has a little pointer for navigating Web pages, and will snap to any URL links that are nearby. This is useful when you need to fine-tune navigation on a web page. I also like that the browser will let users save pictures, turn animations on/off, turn sounds on/off and more.
Oddly, the one site on the entire Internet I could not get the C905a to load was Phone Scoop. Neither the WAP nor HTML version. Weird.
Customize
The C905a comes with three preloaded themes. You can customize which four applications are accessed with the D-pad, you can add shortcuts to the shortcut menu at will, and of course each contact can be assigned unique ringtones and pictures. Setting pictures from your photo album to serve as the wallpaper is a snap, but there is a barely adequate number of pre-loaded ringtones. If there's a way to set your MP3s as ringtones, I couldn't find it.
