(More customer reviews)This is the international variant of the C905, which means that though it has a quad-band GSM/2G radio for near worldwide coverage, it will receive no UMTS/3G coverage in North America. Specifically, it supports UMTS over the 2100 MHz band only, not 850 or 1900 MHz for AT&T, nor 1700 MHz for T-Mobile USA.
As an alternative, consider getting the AT&T branded C905a, even if you are buying the phone for full price without contract. This phone is identical, except that:
* It has the additional support for AT&T's 3G network (850 and 1900 MHz in addition to 2100 MHz)
* As shipped, it contains AT&T branded firmware.
* It is SIM-locked to AT&T.
The latter two issues are however easily fixable through debranding and unlocking. For instance, visit the DavinciTeam or WotanServer web sites. Once debranded, you have the best of both worlds: Original Sony Ericsson firmware (with support for WiFi, MS Exchange, standard IMAP/POP3, SIP, YouTube, and so on) and North American compatible 3G.
Likewise, if you are a T-Mobile customer, there is a forthcoming version of this phone for T-Mobile (with UMTS over 1700 MHz); the model number is "CS8". However, if you can't wait and are OK with 2G/GSM/EDGE only coverage, then the C905i would be a very decent choice.
