The Sony Ericsson W705 is a Walkman sliderphone that offers a stylish design. With aluminium front and sides and a gold trim, the design of this chic phone is sure to please fans of the Sony Walkman mobile series. The 2.4 inch QVGA display is perfect for the phone’s selection of multimedia features.
The phone has a wide selection of features for its music player. The phone has 120MB of internal memory, but users can gain enough storage for loading their music by using the 4GB in-box memory card. A USB cable and Media Manager software are provided for dragging and dropping music.
The Sony Ericsson offers a 3.2 Megapixel camera, which has a fixed focus lens. Video features include an application that allows users to manage videos on their YouTube account. For radio, there is the BBC iPlayer, where users can stream content using Wi-Fi. There is an FM radio feature, where users can tune into their favourite stations. Sony offers a useful feature known as TrackID, which allows users to identify any songs that they hear on the radio.
The downside to the Sony Ericsson W705 is that it does not offer a GPS, but it does have the Google Maps application, which can be used to help users search for locations. Another downside is that the camera and video capture are of average quality, but for those who are looking for a phone packed with great music features, Wi-Fi, YouTube support and an attractive and user friendly mobile, the Sony Ericsson W705 is the perfect choice.
I’ll never go back to a SE phone after my 1st a while back, it was hopeless and it was riddled with faults
