''Experience the pleasure of capturing magical moments with a real digital camera in a unique sliding C905 cyber-shot phone,'' says Sudhin Mathur, general manager, Sony Ericsson, introducing the C905.

Available in two colours, night black and ice silver this stylish phone looks, feels and acts like a real camera. Perfect for those dedicated to fashion as it provides face detection auto-focus, smart contrast and image stabiliser and a 2.4-inch scratch-resistant display to view images before clicking.

The C905 is Sony Ericsson's first cyber-shot dual front slider - stylish, easy to use and in a pocket-sized slim design. It is said to offer the complete digital camera experience in a phone thanks to its 8.1-mega pixel camera with Xenon flash and unique sliding lens mechanism.

It is a handset packed with features and an array of add on accessories like a 2GB Memory Stick Micro and CCR-70 USB adapter to transfer photos to-and-from computers. The photos can be saved to the phone's memory card, and later removed and popped into the CCR-70 USB adapter.
