Sony Ericsson W700i
Product Rating   
Sony Ericsson W700i ReviewRating:
Date: 21/11/2006
The Sony Ericsson W700i is an average top of the range Walkman phone. It is a standard design and weighs 99g. One of the criticisms that some people have found with the design is the joystick which can be slightly fiddly and difficult to use.
It has a 2 megapixel integrated digital camera with a light and 4x digital zoom. It also has video recording capability. The camera is easy to access by opening the lens cover which activates the viewfinder in the screen making it ready to use.
The display is a TFT screen with the resolution of 176 x 220 pixels and supports 262k colours. In comparison with some other top of the range phones the resolution is above average but there others such as the W850i that have a higher resolution of 240 x 320.
This phone has an excellent Walkman music player and FM radio. The easy access music player allows you to listen to MP3's by pressing one button. You are then able to choose a song or create a playlist. This phone also comes with music management software that makes it easy to transfer music onto your mobile. The FM radio features RDS which are digital feeds of information that appear in the radio screen in your phone. The internal memory is 34 MB and there is the option to expand this with an external memory card up to 4GB allowing you to store a considerable amount of music and media files.
The phone is capable of playing MP3 files as ringtones as well as polyphonic tones. It has a 40-voice polyphonic sound which means that 40 notes can be played simultaneously. Although this is good, there are a lot of phones in this price range with 64 or 72-voice polyphony.
The W700i has excellent connectivity features with Bluetooth, USB and infrared. The USB cable enables you to connect to a PC while you can connect to another device with Bluetooth or infrared wirelessly. Connecting via Bluetooth can be done up to 10 metres apart while infrared requires devices to be very close.
The phone can connect to the internet with GPRS. This has fast data speeds but for this price range you should expect to have EDGE or 3G connections which are significantly faster.
The operating frequency is tri-band which means that it will work in Europe and America. It has an excellent battery life with 400 hours of standby time.
Overall, this is a good phone with an excellent music player and memory to accompany this feature. The things that let it down are the internet connection and the fact that it is slightly heavier then other phones and the fiddly joystick, other then that it is a good all round phone with good features.
Features of the Sony Ericsson W700i include:
- Camera: 2 megapixels, 4 x digital zoom
- Video Camera: Video record, Video streaming
- Display: 262,144-colour TFT, 176x220 pixel
- Music Player: FM radio, Walkman, MP3 and AAC format support
- Media Player

- Memory: 34MB phone memory, 256MB Memory Stick PRO Duo
- Messaging: SMS, MMS, Email, Instant messaging
- Internet: GPRS, Access NetFront Web Browser, Modem, WAP 1.2.1, WAP 2.0 XHTML
- Operating Frequency: GSM 900 / 1800 / 1900
- Size: 100 x 46 x 20.5 mm
- Weight: 99 g

Great Phone i am using this phone from 1 1/2 years. The sound quality is very bad. The Mega Bass option is superb, this is my first Walkman phone. The sound quality through the headset is awesome compared to Nokia. I had problem with the display, sometimes the back light does not work properly. Sometimes the phone hangs while viewing high quality images. The battery backup is okay. Remaining features are good of this phone.

Phone is not value for money at all. Voice coming out of speaker is too low for a walkman phone of this price. Battery performance is not very good. Every spare part is expensive. Paint quality is bad,fades after 4,5 months. Zoom is very bad. Screen is small. Cant hear music through handsfree while charging(same slot). Simcard cant b removed with ease at all.

I've had this phone since October 2006 and i have to say i still love it. although the same old problem of poor battery life and low quality speakers have been voiced by its buyers (including me) i feel that for its relatively cheap price, they are worth it. i mean the camera is simply amazing, extendable memory very useful, beatiful and classy design with the signature orange walkman light (so everyone nearby knows its a walkman phone! :) ) is some of its many plus points. However, i do have one concern, and that is how long will the joy stick last.since its almost a year old i'm hoping the joystick will not break coz i do use it alot! My final verdict: BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean what more could you ask for? Sony Ericsson has catered a phone packed with features that you could'nt ask for more with and priced it pretty cheaply. It really does not get better than that!

The phone definitely is not that very great. The speaker volume modulates to such a low, that it is impossible to hear the person at the other end. The camera is another problem, any small movement close to the phone activates the camera ... The phone would have been better if there was a camera lock function to it to avoid the above problem.

The most starkling PROBLEM In Sony Phones ..and this would come for sure once u have these phones for around an year ... The phone stops getting charged from a power output source. This is owed to a poor design in the charger and the Integrated circuit which gets corrupted. When you go the service station they will just shy from this problem stating the weather conditions such as humidity etc.!!! .. The phone has great features of software , music and photo imaging but falls very very short on structural aspects. Its just a phone for a while in your life.

I've had one for a year with no problems, except that I somehow cracked the screen. Best phone I've ever had. I'm replacing the broken one with a W800i as I couldn't find a cheaper W700i. The mp3 player is really good and the sound quality is amazing through the supplied headphones. The only faults I can find are that the Sony software is a bit slow at transferring music and the camera is a bit poor. I didn't get it for the camera though. The only other phone I would get is a Sony thats higher up the range, just to get a larger capacity mp3 player.
