Having said that, the same was the case with the k850i, until upper management yanked it a week before scheduled release date. So I mean, nothing is ever certain in at&t land until you physically get your hands on one.

You guys remember the N80 and 6282 with US UMTS bands right? There's a few of those floating around too...]]>Nov 17th 2008 12:47PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/17/sony-ericsson-c905a-with-atandt-firmware-means-well-you-know/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/17/sony-ericsson-c905a-with-atandt-firmware-means-well-you-know/Nov 17th 2008 12:56PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/17/sony-ericsson-c905a-with-atandt-firmware-means-well-you-know/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/17/sony-ericsson-c905a-with-atandt-firmware-means-well-you-know/Nov 17th 2008 1:04PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/17/sony-ericsson-c905a-with-atandt-firmware-means-well-you-know/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/17/sony-ericsson-c905a-with-atandt-firmware-means-well-you-know/Nov 17th 2008 1:22PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/17/sony-ericsson-c905a-with-atandt-firmware-means-well-you-know/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/17/sony-ericsson-c905a-with-atandt-firmware-means-well-you-know/Nov 17th 2008 1:50PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/17/sony-ericsson-c905a-with-atandt-firmware-means-well-you-know/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/17/sony-ericsson-c905a-with-atandt-firmware-means-well-you-know/This is not the case with the C905 - it _does_ have tri-band UMTS (850/1900 and 2100 MHz bands). Clearly a candidate for AT&T (as was the k850i).

the c905a "floating around" now are specifically for AT$T]]>Nov 17th 2008 3:36PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/17/sony-ericsson-c905a-with-atandt-firmware-means-well-you-know/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/17/sony-ericsson-c905a-with-atandt-firmware-means-well-you-know/
Not accusing YOU of this, per se..

just sayin. ]]>Nov 17th 2008 4:43PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/17/sony-ericsson-c905a-with-atandt-firmware-means-well-you-know/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/17/sony-ericsson-c905a-with-atandt-firmware-means-well-you-know/Nov 17th 2008 7:49PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/17/sony-ericsson-c905a-with-atandt-firmware-means-well-you-know/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/17/sony-ericsson-c905a-with-atandt-firmware-means-well-you-know/Nov 17th 2008 8:20PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/17/sony-ericsson-c905a-with-atandt-firmware-means-well-you-know/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/17/sony-ericsson-c905a-with-atandt-firmware-means-well-you-know/
i remember having problems getting Orb to stream over 554 so i just reconfigured Orb to use like 1044.. or something.. something in a different port range.

so if you have that option, try changing the port]]>Nov 17th 2008 8:37PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/17/sony-ericsson-c905a-with-atandt-firmware-means-well-you-know/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/17/sony-ericsson-c905a-with-atandt-firmware-means-well-you-know/another minus was that it was a bar phone. that was right about the time that at&t got into SLIDER RAGE... because the market was responding more favorably to slider phones than bar phones when looking for an alternative to a clamshell.

so i think because this IS a slider ... and because t-mo upped the ante with a pair of 5 mp phones (t-919 and motozine)... this will almost certainly make it to market...

... early next year.

there. those are my 2 cents.]]>Nov 17th 2008 8:47PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/17/sony-ericsson-c905a-with-atandt-firmware-means-well-you-know/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/17/sony-ericsson-c905a-with-atandt-firmware-means-well-you-know/Nov 17th 2008 9:27PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/17/sony-ericsson-c905a-with-atandt-firmware-means-well-you-know/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/17/sony-ericsson-c905a-with-atandt-firmware-means-well-you-know/
That C905a will have NO-Video calling
And Some ugly deathstar somewhere...
And The Main "Cyber-Shot" under the big screen will be covered by "at&t"]]>Nov 19th 2008 12:39AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/17/sony-ericsson-c905a-with-atandt-firmware-means-well-you-know/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/17/sony-ericsson-c905a-with-atandt-firmware-means-well-you-know/and yes the c905a has duel band umts.
and of course there isn't any branding on the casing, because obviously it's to much trouble to do if you're in a lab testing.
as far as I know anything at&t has done to the SE phones in their lineup is usually superfical menu changes.

and also 'w00t'
