    Ok. I bought the silver-in-colour W705 and I think it's more beautiful than the red one ^^. The package includes W705 phone,charger,4GB M2,HPM-70 earphone and a USB cable.

    Pros:
    1) Sound from the earphone is PERFECT. You can hear the bass sound clearly if you adjust the equalizer to Clear Bass. And the sound from earphone is sooo loud.
    2) Camera did well if you snap some photos in daylight and is very clear.
    3)Screen is as clear as crystal. No doubt on it.
    4) The message conversation is cool, just like you're using MSN.
    5) The light sensor very good, can save more battery. And the battery life is long.
    6) The keypad is user friendly. (To me)
    7) More more more and more...

    Cons:
    1. Sound from the loudspeaker is not that loud and the sound is sharp if you hear it in maximum volume.(So try it with earphone will make it better)
    2. The camera flash is better if you use it as torch but if you use it to snap photos...Too bad

    Don't have so much cons to say and I don't have any problem with my W705. This phone just...GREAT! I will rate it at 9.5/10~

    And sorry about my broken language. Feel free to ask me anything, too. >.

      awesome mobile with great sound clarity in the headset but the thing that i didnt liked in this mobile is the shaky slider and low external sound from the speaker apart from this it is really a awesome phone

            I want W705, 08 Sep 2009I decided to buy W705. I think its design is cool.Great! I definitly would recommend this walkman over others of the same level. Probably the only thing better would be the w995, because no other would give you wifi. But I would recommend the cybershot series for pics. Hope you enjoy it! I'm sure I'm not the only one who loves this phone!

                I want W705, 07 Sep 2009So, which one is better if compare with G705? W705 sound louder?Well, I've only seen one vid on youtube that compares thess two. The G705 is more internet oriented and the w705 is music oriented. The guy said that for music the w705 is way better. And the g705 has cheap quality materials. You can look it up if you want to here his comparison on those two.

                    Anonymous, 06 Sep 2009Thank you for replying me... So the sound of W705 is louder... moreHey no prob! Well I havent been able to play with a w395 so I cant give you an honest opinion. To me thr volume is fine. It is a liitle lower than my nokia 5610. But if you want to listen to music through the loudspeaker in a large room with lots of noise, then you wont here a thing. The earphones and external speakers mine came with a perfect. If you can compare them in person, do it! It'll help you decide ;). Also, there is another list of pros and cons so you can learn a little more. I got a little tired of writing all that on my w705 :)

Really great and fun when compared to this sh*t piece of Walk(DEAD)man. When u go for N79 there is 5mpix with video light, Robust Ngage platform, stereo speakers, fun thru NaviWheel, u surely know the fact from V.30 firmware brings lots of stability and performance speed in S/W, Swiss knife design with chrome finish brings u PROUD in CROWD

                                So don't wait go for fuN79 and ditch this SIN (W705)...

                                      If the sony ericsson can't play youtube, here's the solution... Open your opera mini and go to search engine, and type www.vuclip.com to replace your youtube ... Vuclip is part of youtube but its better , not only viewing but you can even download video clips .... Try and comment your opinion whether compatible with your W705....

                                        I just bought this phone and hope to share my opinions:

                                        The pros:
                                        1) The large screen really having a great experience on sufting the net.
                                        2) The UI does not lag.
                                        3) WiFi connection is good with just 3 steps ( I have a home WiFi router, so it's great).
                                        4) It's really light in weight and thin.
                                        5) The new Network Front browser's UI is quite good , better than previous version.
                                        6) Having Google Maps.
                                        7) New Walkman Features.
                                        8) Having 4GB memory card free and internal memory of 120MB, good!

                                        Cons:
                                        1) The button is quite near with each others so u might press the wrong keys.
                                        2) The sounds come from the speaker is low in volume and very weak.
                                        3) Networkfront browser will be lag when u suft on site that needed a large memory, so better use Opera Mini to solve this problem.
                                        4) I agree that the outer slide is shaky when u press its buttons.
                                        5) I can't play the YouTube video, im not sure whether it's the reason of the sale region in the global market.
                                        6) The UI got some bugs eventhough i updated the phone software.
                                        7) No auto focus for its camera feature so it'll be blurred if u shake the camera whether it's a bit slightly or ..
                                        8) The camera only good at day time.

                                        Overall i rate 8/10 for this phone.
