Sony Ericsson W705 now official - Wi-Fi confirmed, GPS not

06 Nov, 2008
Just as expected, today Sony Ericsson announced their new Walkman phone - the Sony Ericsson W705. The high-end slider is the first music-dedicated feature phone by the company to feature Wi-Fi. Unluckily...

      I like the belly/bum Speaker :D unlike the G705, the back of the phone doesn't bore me anymore. Good specs. Nice job SE. Keep up the good works.

            SE have been quite sneaky with these photos, because they don't reveal the keypad. In my view the keypad on that other pic looked like a real ugly eyesore and uncomfortable to use.

            Anyway, the silver one does look quite nice, with the big screen, I have to admit. Like the metallic finish, SE do well with that. The red one looks yuk though...and GPS is a big disappointment. When will SE release a high end all-round walkman?

              More garbage... I think the w580i released years ago just does as good as a job as this phone.

              Even if it has wifi... I think you'd rather have a phone with a bigger screen and usability with WiFi.

                  Look at nokia's nseries, the 'lower' end N79 has way more stuff than this, same size screen, 5MP with AF, GPS, 3.5mm jack, and is slightly lighter. N79 is probably gonna be cheaper too

                    What do you all need GPS for?
                    Go get the G705 if you want GPS...

                    This is w705, not even close to high end on their naming spectrum.

                            You know the sliver one actually looks pretty good, this is a great blend of specs...this phone does look like it will have many buyers but its more like a lower end K850i...the N95 regular is at like the perfect price right now it rivals almost every phone if only SE had Added GPS and 5MP, this surely would have been a best seller....well atleast the silver one

                                      D price is not justified at all

                                        Too bad they took the GPS out of the package! Now I'm going for the G705, although I'm in love with the desing of the passionate Red!
