In June, Sony Ericsson raised the bar for cameraphones announcing the first 8-megapixel phone intended for the European market - C905. A few months later, it was made commercially available and its rivals had already been available for some time; Samsung had released INNOV8 and Pixon, and LG joined the party with its Renoir. The Cyber-shot model wasn’t first to hit the market, but it still might be the best so far. Although it is touted to be a 'real camera rival', the C905 has yet to prove that.

Sony Ericsson has always produced good camera phones but the C905 outdoes them all. The high-resolution camera with xenon flash produces sharp shots even in low light and we were impressed by all the extras, such as GPS and Wi-Fi. If you're looking for a serious camera phone that could replace your camera, this is it

Sony Ericsson C905 gets reviewed -- all 8.1 megapixels of it
