AT&T Sony Ericsson C905a strikes a pose; shipments now hitting retailers

Well it looks like Sony Ericsson’s upcoming C905a is just as anxious to see AT&T-subscribed mobile photogs as they are to see it. In fact, it couldn’t even wait until the 19th for its official release to pop out of its retail packaging and say hi to the camera. One of our ninjas just hit us to show off one of many units currently making their way across the country just waiting to be snatched up this Sunday. A quick recap of the spec highlights:

• 8.1 megapixel camera with a xenon flash, auto-focus and video capture
• Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE, dual-band HSDPA
• On-device image editing
• Scratch-resistant mineral glass display
• GPS
• FM Radio
• Bluetooth
• Memory Stick Micro (M2) support up to 16GB

In less exciting news, we’re hearing AT&T has apparently crippled the handset a bit more than most would have liked — namely, it will be lacking Wi-Fi and Exchange support out of the box. For seasoned SE fans this shouldn’t pose much of a roadblock but less experienced users looking to bring the handset back to its fully functional state have some debranding research to do. Hit the jump for more shots of the phone and retail packaging.
