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.

- Camera: 2 megapixels, 4 x digital zoom

Hi.. i am subhashini from sri lanka. i have been using a sony ericsson w 700i for about two months now and i just wanna say that its the best phone i ever used. i have been using samsung and nokia before this but i definitly recomend this phone to anybody who is interested in buying a new phone.what persuaded me to buy this phone was its walkman. since i am travelling a lot it is very easy to carry my all in one phone.walkman, radio aswell as my favourite songs all stored in my phone.and above all the attractive gold colour which makes it look smarter. so i just wanna add that the w700i has become a part of my life.without it my life would be nothing. thank you so much. i'm looking forward to buy a w810i the next time. best regards, subhashini.

I am using this phone from last 5 months, the features which this set offers ave nice in comparision to its price, if u dont want to spend much and a music freak, u can definately go for this phone. As such the camera is of 2MP but it does not have auto focus, so picture quality is not so gr8.

The phone is great , but corns are too obvious. The main problem is the camera. It lacks auto focus and macro mode. the camera seems useless because of these problems. But rest of the features are super

ive had this phone almost a year now and the joystick nor the battery have broken. It is an amazing phone all round, but condsidering it is a walkman phone and is especially for music I would have expected it to be louder.

Just bought the phone yesterday. Amazing phone! Absolutely loved the sound quality. A little concerned about the sound quality though. My advice - upgrade to a 512 mb or 1 gb memory stick and it can give u the quintessential i-pod experience and a whole lot more. Overall amazing features - a very welcome change after my relatively ancient nokia 6600 - my faithful companion for over 2 years. And damn guys - the phone is slick!!! i fell for the mettalic looks, the W810i has got a 'plasticy' look about it. The mini torch is damn cute, wish it has autofocus though, then the package would have been unbeatable. Still, go for it - its gonna roack ur world!!!!

ok so i got this phone a few days ago, and before i did i was torn between this and the w810i, first i considered the price, thw 700i is a little cheaper, but the w810i has a few more features, when i was looking at specifications on different sites, it said the w700i didnt have a speaker, internet, 3d games , an autofocus and rubbish battery life. all of these things , except the autofocus is wrong, there is everythin that u get on the w810i except without auto focus , but on thids camera it makes absolutely no difference. the camera is good the walkman is amazing and it looks so cooool!!, if your looking for a phone with excellent features, a good look and well worth the money , get this... its withut doubt the best SE phone out to date =D...oh and btw...the joystick is completely easy to use

It's an amazing phone for the people who 'rocks' and love the music, excellent facilities , MP3 ringtones, good photo feature (not satisfied though 2.0 mega pixel !).
And finally comes to the head phones (handsfree given with Phone), looks wonderfull, but when u are on call ,u feel irritating as it completely bloks the ears and feel the echo, and rest of that , virtually u will be on 'waves' with superb quality of sound. Thanks to Sony Erricsson!, this was phone i was waiting for!!
Cheers Arvind
