Dreamdude, 05 Sep 2009Hi guys, which is great phone, nokia N79 or sony ericsson W... moreWiFi enable u to do an internet connection. Normally, in a public area there's always have wifi zone cuz they open their wifi router for public to suft net in a condition, that is the device must have wifi supported. In other words, if u have wifi device like W705, obviously u can go on internet at any WiFi Zone places.

          Dreamdude, 05 Sep 2009Hi guys, which is great phone, nokia N79 or sony ericsson W... moreHi sis, wifi is nothin but (wireless fedility) or in a simple words, you can say it as wireless network connection. Normally you use to connect to internet, for your computer using wires, to get rid off those things, this advance technology had come with connectivity of network connections going wireless. It's just like bluetooth..... Transfering data from mobile to mobile. Instead of you gprs service, you can use this option for net browsing...

                I want W705, 05 Sep 2009So you had SE W705... Is the sound clear and loud(very loud... moreI still have it, and in my opinion these are the cons:
                1. Slider is shaky. When I bought it it made me think that it would be fragile.
                2. Camera sucks in low light. Then again, walkmans have always been bad at pics, especially the mid and low level ones. Still its ok in the day!
                3. The sound is kinda low. I have a nokia 5610 and it is a little bit louder than the w705, but I think that the sound is clearer on the w705. But through the headset or the external speakers it came with: music is really great!
                4. The screen. There are some pics and most vids that have too much color or something that makes them look bad on the screen. Mostly its black colors. They have big squares that are really visible in pics and vids and that really dissapointed me.

                Now, the pros:
                1. Although the slide wobbles a little it still seems really well buit. It's lightweight and the materials look really nice. The buttons are easy to use except maybe the w. button on top. I've gotten used to it but in the beginning I did have trouble using shake control.
                2. Like I said, the sound is clear and sounds good through the headset and the speakers. I also listen to music without speakers and earphones and it is loud enough and clear enough to enjoy!
                3. The screen is large enough and bright enough to be used with ease outdoors. Its larger than my 5610's screen but like I said darker colorers can look bad sometimes.

                Really thats it. In my personal experiance I can say that its a great looking phone. Wifi is something that some people dont need so I didnt put it as a pro. I do use it alot and its great. Internet is great on the phone! Facebook and youtube accounts can be used on it too. The kinda low sound, bad pics in low light, and slider arent enough for me to say its a bad phone. I really like it. The one and only thing that I really hate is the distorted dark colors. Other than that, I would give this a 9 out of 10! You should try it out if you can before buying it. Like I said the cons dont get to me that much except maybe the screen colors. Good luck!

                  As a WALKMAN branded handset why cant we get the clear and loud sound from the MONO SPEAKER???
                  We need stereo speakers......
                  may be i should go for Nokia 5730XM or 5800XM...
                  My current phone W902 really hates it.....

It should still be under warranty, especially since this is SW related. Good luck! As for a suggested model. For the price get the same one or a c902 if you can. If you want a music phone but from a different brand, try Nokia XpressMusic or the Samsung Beat DJ ir Dj Beat (cant remember what its called).

                                    Think b'fore BUY, 31 Aug 2009Hey guys i owned W705 for nearly 3 months, i m really happy... moreyupz.and SE is getting boring.all the SE phone have the similar function.i also usin W705 for couple of months.it is nice to use,and i do love it very very much since i am Walkman-addicted.but after i got the look and try the 5730XM and 5800XM in a shopping complex,i change my heart..i like the 5730 XM,with a nice interface,cool QWERTY keypad for fast typing.As SE interface always the same,BORING!!!and SE interface did not look luxurious or high-class than Nokia series-60.so i will buy a Nokia for my next targer if SE keep no chnages.

                                      Hey guys i owned W705 for nearly 3 months, i m really happy with it and only letdown is external speakers. Yesterday i went to my frnd's party and my frnd own the brand new 5730XM. After the in depth comparision i am really disappointed lot.
                                      First we compared the screen both r 2.4' but 5730XM gets some extra brightness and colourfull.
                                      Next 2009's new contacts bar in d homescreen is really damn sexy b'cas kinetic scrolling is there.
                                      Walkman logo above d screen on My w705 is also cool thing. Both are slider design but mine is BORING usual slider and 5730 is attractive side slider, there is shaky or creaking sound when opened the slider, But my w705 had some shakey slider. Both had 3.2mpix cam but my w705 is loser here b'cas of fixed focus, no zoom and 5730XM gets Auto focus cam with 8x digital zoom and flash response & range is fast as w705. Next MAIN THING is Speakers, here i concentrated lot. First i noticed the in call ringing at max volume 5730 & w705 both done thier job but 5730 slightly louder. Next 5730XM Music quality is really amazing where we played the song Gasolina & One love but we slihtly missed the BASS and here w705 is always the loser b'cas there is no dedicated music chip like NOKIA.
                                      5730XM features among my w705 are dedicated gaming keys, Remote control with new headsets, contacts bar,A-gps with compass, Ngage, New UI transitions, 8gb in box mem card, Qwerty keyboard, and lot more.....,...
                                      So as a SE fan and user we need some more fun and design.
                                      Am i correct guys??????
