Review of GSM/UMTS-handset Sony Ericsson G705
Mobile-review have posted their review of the Sony Ericsson G705. Here is their final impression.
Even though the G705 comes equipped with only one loudspeaker, it's pretty loud and won't let you miss a call in pretty much any environment. However, considering the phone size, you'd expect it to rock somewhat louder; unfortunately, it's not the case here. As far as reception quality goes, the Sony Ericsson G705 was an okay performer without any significant letdowns or strengths. The vibro alert is a bit above average strength-wise - you'll feel it even though clothes, make no mistake about that.
Retailing for 300 Euro, the G705 aims at a pretty narrow niche – while it sports a likable and offbeat design, WiFi connectivity and GPS, its quirky positioning is what holds it back. It’s not the best choice for heavy web users, although it’s a decent solution for calls without too many extra feats. Those who are after more feature-rich offerings, will be content with the Nokia E66, but this phone is in a league of its own, even though it’s not much more expensive. Furthermore, with the arrival of the W705, the Sony Ericsson G705 won’t stand a chance. It’s not the best buy out there, nor does it deserve any sort of special credit.
