Sony Ericsson W705 Review


Phone rating:

In a nutshell: A Walkman phone with the latest music features, an FM radio, a 3.2 megapixel camera, 4GB memory card, WiFi, Bluetooth, 3G with HSDPA, shake control & motion gaming. But frustratingly unreliable. Available in Silver or Red.
Best buy: £199.95 on PAYG from the Carphone Warehouse (Silver).

Review: March 2009. Updated July 2009.

The W705 is yet another Sony Ericsson phone that appears great at first but turns out to be a lemon. When will Sony Ericsson get this right?

The phone is a slider and quite a dinky one too, being very compact and weighing just 98g. It has a quality metallic finish, available in Silver or Red, and slides open nicely to reveal a compact but ergonomic keypad. The music controls are well thought out, and make the phone very easy to use, whether in its open or closed position. The display is a decent size, with 262,000 colours and a good resolution of 320 x 240 pixels. First impressions are of a quality product.
