One of the leading retailers of cell phones and accessories in UK, Phones4U, has revealed that the Sony Ericsson C905 is all set to invade the United Kingdom this October. That means customers looking forward to its new 8-megapixel lens and a host of other photog-friendly features, not to mention the GPS with geotagging, will have a short wait until as early as October 10, to get their hands on this Cybershot handset. Apart from its much-talked about lens, the Cybershot C905 also has WiFi, Bluetooth, HSDPA support, GPS, and TV-out functions. Details about pricing are not known yet.

That was fast! It’s been less than a month since Sony Ericsson went public with its 8-megapixel C905 shooter and now Samsung comes out of the closet with an equivalent shooter of its own called the i8510. And this time, it adds some Symbian S60 flavor along with 16GB of internal storage, WiFi, HSDPA support, GPS, and an optical mouse like the one with the i900. That’s not all, as there should be plenty of juice with the 1200 mAh battery and a 3D chip inside to play some really good 3D games. The DivX support is also carried over and you can record videos at an awesome 120fps on this thing, which can be watched on its 2.8-inch 16-million color display or on your TV set thanks to TV-out. All this packed in a neat slider package! Me wants one. No idea when or for how much this will be coming out though! Meanwhile, read on for more pictures…

Sony Ericsson has finally made it official! The 8.1-megapixel shooter in the CyberShot lineup will see a release somewhere in the fourth quarter of this year as will the S302 in the Snapshot series, who decided to go public with the C905. Unlike the C905, the S302 will feature only a 2-megapixel camera, more suitable for the casual photographer than a pro. The little one will also have Bluetooth, USB support, 20MB of internal memory with Memory Stick Micro expansion. While the S302 decides to stick to just Crystal Blue and Thunder Gray, the C905 will come in colors of Night Black, Ice Silver, and Copper Gold.

There are no details on the pricing yet, but at the rate at which the C905 turned from a rumor to reality, I don’t think we’ll have to wait too long.

Remember that leaked cell phone from Sony Ericsson called the “Shiho” we brought you a few days ago? Well, if you still have doubts about it being real, these pictures from ePrice, a Taiwanese website will surely convince you. As you can see from the picture, the Cybershot C905 is a tad bit bigger than a Moto RAZR in its folded form, although I don’t know why they chose that cell phone to compare with. Not bad in size for something housing an eight-friggin-point-one-megapixel camera, GPS, and WiFi among other goodies, right? We’ll just have to tough it out until the fourth quarter of 2008 to see this baby out on the street.

Some great news for photo enthusiasts at last! Sony Ericsson now looks to one-up all those measly 5-megapixel cam phones out there with the new Cybershot C905, previously known by the codename Shiho, which rocks an 8.1 megapixel camera with all the usual photogoodies like autofocus, face recognition, image stabilization, red-eye reduction, Smart Contrast, and Xenon flash as well as photoflash to boot. Now that means some really awesome pictures in A3 sizes and videos in VGA quality. Time to ditch your digital camera I guess.
