Sony Ericsson C905a Cyber-shot

The Sony Ericsson C905a Cyber-shot stands above a sea of traditional cell phones with its high-quality, 8.1-megapixel camera for serious photo enthusiasts.

Price

Despite the high you might feel from learning about the C905a’s high-quality camera, you might feel low when you learn of its price.

With a no-contract retail price of $329.99 and a two-year contract price of $229.99, a $50 mail-in rebate still only brings the C905a down to $179.99 with a two-year AT&T service contract.

For just $20 more, you’re then at the price level of the mega smartphones with a contract (i.e. the Palm Pre for Sprint, the T-Mobile myTouch 3G for T-Mobile and the iPhone 3G S for AT&T).
