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...

          bummy, 08 Dec 2008If you want decent pictures, you can go for Samsung G810...... moreI recommend the motorola zine zn5 for a 5 mp camera. I use it and simply the best. Moto linux ui is wonderful and kodak 5mp cam is one of best. Can take 10 pics in 4 seconds about and has one of best qualities on market for 5 mp cam phone

            yeesh, by the review, this phone has so many irritating little faults. seriously, the animated user interface is all SE has against nokia now.

                  No! You always have to download Google Maps. (It does not mather if it is in "satelite"-mode or not. By "Satelite"-mode I guess you mean with an active GPS ?)

                    Well, I am not quite sure what you mean. But you CAN switch the GPS off (then you can not see your accurate position, since it uses the "a" part of the a-GPS!) and you can turn the GPS on, then you have a much more accurate position. The GPS takes some time to get a fix though.

People only says that nokia or sony is more user friendly because they are used to it.

                                      In my country, Indonesia, many people using Nokia because they thought (have a stigma, indeed...) that Nokia has a simple & intuitive UI. I can only smile with that kind of opinion as I found that SE is more simple, understandable, intuitive, effective & efficient for transfering data, unlike Nokia. I also found their latest S40 UI is unpracticable. Well, it's only IMO... Cheers
