Sony Ericsson G705 review: Slide-o-matic

04 December 2008
One of a kind is the last thing to call Sony Ericsson G705 upon as much as a glimpse. But conceited scoffs may be bitterly regretted. Wi-Fi, GPS and lightning fast data are likely to turn the snooty sneer into...

              Anonymous, 16 Dec 2008Well Sony Use thier own product???well u ask GSMARENA CREW.... moreOur friend here's kinda harsh.. Every opinion is based on their own experience of usage. You can't simply fired Sony since they've done R&D before the product's out on market. The GSM Arena Crew's just doing their job by posting a third party comments, which help you to choose before purchasing any of these phones.

              If you said Canon or Olympus are better than Cyber-Shot, think again. Sony has the DSLR cameras too, and camera phones are nothing to compare with the real thing - camera.

              And lastly, I think you should have gone somewhere else to post your (that kind of) comment.

                    When I am writing a new message, under the write new, I only have those options shown in page 4 of the review. But, then when I read page 5 of the review, it shows other options. Is it customisable? How could I set it to be like the page 5 option?(sorry if my English sounds funny... :D)

                          i just hope this phone doesn't have any software issues for example white screens ( which are quite common in SE mobile phones or wifi-bluetooth connectivity problems )

                          also i really hope the buttons won't stop working after a few months of light use like my k770i !!!

                                In fact, when I run the java appli, the phone restarts immediately (Is this normal???)
                                and then nothing happens, everything is the same as before.
                                I think the problem is the java application(??)Somebody should tell me something.

                                        if only this phone using the UIQ and features touch screen.. it will become the perfect phone for me.
