So……….. It’s no secret, I love Sony, and all things Sony. I’d probably give my first born child to\u00a0 them, if I thought they would take it. But lately I’m a little disappointed. C905 <\/a>spectacular amazing device, that on paper trumps just about every other out there assuming you don’t like touch screens, which I don’t.\u00a0 But nevertheless it was released by Sony as the C905i in Q4 2008,\u00a0 and made available by every major country excluding the U.S. by Q2 2009 :C905i,C905c,C905a.<\/h5>\n

But hey, it’s all good according to all the major & reputable phone comparison sites it was supposed to be released as the C905 aka Tobey (why they picked this name, still boggles my mind)\u00a0 on 9 June 2009. I was happy I was ecstatic, words could not describe my joy. Needless to say, I was a little discontented to find out on 10 June 2009, that AT&T had none could not tell me the price, but merely told me they were back-ordered and that I should try the following week.\u00a0 As popular as this phone is I accepted this and figured if I could wait, 6 months I could wait 1 week.<\/p>\n

So I call into AT&T today 16 June 2009, to discuss this phone and maybe ascertain the upcoming price of the model. Low and behold the representative I spoke to this time, informed me that the phone was on back-order as Sony had not sent the phones to AT&T yet, that they weren’t to be released officially until 15 June 2009, and they had no idea of the price. He suggested that I wait another week, and call back again. Feeling a little slighted, I decided to go ahead and talk to someone at Sony, see if I could figure out where the bottleneck is at. (Really wish I hadn’t done that.) According to Sony, the Phone has been released across North America, notably Canada & Mexico, but not in US and he couldn’t speculate on whether it would even be released in the US. Needless to say, at this juncture I’m not a happy camper.<\/p>\n

Gotta admit its kinda funny the “greatest country on earth” home of\u00a0 “freedom & liberty”, birthplace of the IPhone & the Pre, and we get the 905 dead last. Feel free to leave some, this appear on Facebook as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
