A whole year after it was announced, it looks like Sony Ericsson's C905 is coming stateside by way of AT&T July 19, making it AT&T's first 8-megapixel cameraphone. I'm sure Jesus would hate it. [BGR]

Sony Ericsson C905 Hits The FCC With U.S. 3G, 8.1MP Camera

John Mahoney — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 18:00:00 EST

The race to bring the first retardedly huge 8MP cameraphone to the U.S. is on! After a Samsung 8MP piece with T-Mobile livery surfaced, the FCC has outed the 8.1MP C905 bound for AT&T.

Asia and Europe have been enjoying the C905 since the summer, but the FCC report lists the 850/1900 WCDMA banding, which means it will support 3G on AT&T. It also packs in a Xenon flash, LED video light, image stabilization, face-detecting autofocus and video recording.

Since you're reading Gizmodo and you're smart, you already know that blowing out resolution to 8MP doesn't mean squat when you're dealing with a tiny cellphone-chip sensor, but if you need to be able to take three-megabyte JPGs with your cameraphone, one of these two will do you you right.

Sony Ericsson C905 8.1-Megapixel Cybershot Phone Gets Official Specs

Kit Eaton — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 11:20:00 EDT

Twice we've brought you leaked info on Sony Ericsson's upcoming C905 cellphone, and today at last Sony came good with official specs. The camera in its slider body is indeed an 8.1-megapixel one, with xenon flash, auto-focus, face detection and image stabilization. The phone's also pretty full-featured, and is GPS-ready, with a 2.4-inch TFT screen and TV-out capability as we'd heard. So is it a camera with a bolt-on phone or the other way around? Read the specs in the press release to decide. Simultaneously, Sony came up with news of the S302 Snapshot, which sounds like a lower-spec sibling to the C905 with just 2-megapixels and a fixed-focus lens. Both should be available late this year.

Singapore, 17 June 2008 – The C905 is Sony Ericsson’s first Cyber-shot slider and its most advanced camera phone yet. With an 8.1 megapixel camera and real camera flash amongst its cutting-edge capabilities, it offers easy photo-taking in a phone that derives its looks from a digital camera and offers the picture quality to match. In comparison the S302 Snapshot is for those who want it all at an affordable price – good looks, must-have features and a pocket-sized slim design.

“The C905 Cyber-shot™ and S302 Snapshot have been developed to make us all better photographers! That means making it easier to take great shots and never missing that magic moment.” said Sven Totté, Head of Imaging Marketing at Sony Ericsson. “Although both have photography at their core, the phones are very distinct; the 8.1megapixel C905 is a viable alternative to a digital camera and the S302 is perfect for those who don’t want to miss a moment and like to send or Bluetooth™ their photos to their friends.”

Sony Ericsson C905 Leaked Shots Show the 8.1 Megapixel Body

Jason Chen — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 13:20:00 EDT

The leaked Sony Ericsson C905 Cyber-shot phone already has spy shots of it in the wild, detailing its rounded body and sliding face. The guy who played with it says it's 20mm (0.78 inches) thick and weighs 136 grams (0.29 pounds), which isn't all that bad if you're taking into account the fact that it's also an 8.1-megapixel camera. Two more shots after the jump. No shots that show the lens, unfortunately.

Sony Ericsson C905 is a 8.1-Megapixel Cybershot Phone?

Jason Chen — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 19:02:24 EDT

According to the Unofficial Sony Ericsson blog, the upcoming C905 phone will be the flagship Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot phone. Here's why it's so good. There's a 8.1-megapixel 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." There's also location tagging with GPS, an accelerometer, 2.4-inch QVGA display, TV-out, Wi-Fi, DLNA support, Bluetooth and USB 2.0 transfers. Yeah, sounds pretty insane. We'll see if this one turns out to be true and whether they can fit all of this tech into that small body. [Se-nse]
