Having recently moved from an 18 month contract to a 30 day notice "Sim only" contract, this was only the second time I've ever had to buy a phone. The first, a Sony Ericsson T250i two weeks earlier didn't exactly go to plan, so this time I did my homework... The phone it's self is a very ordinary (to this reviewer anyway) looking phone. It's a reasonable size and weight, similar to the k800i and Nokia n73, but what sets it apart are its killer features - built in GPS and water and dust resistance making it an excellent choice for runners/cyclists/outdoor use. The phone uses Google maps (free) and Wayfinder (free trial, pay after the trial) for navigation duties and both are good apps - although some consistancy regarding zoom buttons etc would be nice to ease the transition between the two apps. Wayfinder gives you voice directions whilst Google opts for a map view and directions. Different approaches for different applications. The other killer app (for me at least) also uses GPS - Tracker is a training utility. It tracks your running, cycling or hiking, mapping your route, distance covered and energy expended. It's great for keeping records or training and monitoring progress. Well done Sony, nice one! Other than that the phone applications are pretty standard stuff - Built in FM radio (that requires headphones to be plugged to act as an antenna), a media player (MP3, 3gp music and video etc) that whilst it won't put an iPod to shame is perfectly useable for being on the move , a couple of (pretty awful) games and the video, photo and music DJ applications. There is also a web browser that works reasonably well. The screen is a decent size, with vibrant colours and a good refresh rate - beware though, in bright light it's well nigh unreadable. The OS is nice and far less buggy than the Nokia's I've been used to using (note to Nokia - please test your phone's software before release, or pay me if you want my software testing skills. Beta software is irritating.) It shuts down when it's supposed to, starts up pretty quickly and is fast enough to cope with everyday use - it's a massive step forward from the old days of the dog slow (but very nice) Z7 AND T650's of old. The keyboard isn't the nicest to use = the lozenge shaped buttons are thin and slidey and don't work well with nails, or at least this reviewers nails. It's not the worst however and works acceptable well in my hands. Females, or those with smaller hands would probably have noissues what so ever. The camera is maybe not befitting of the cyber-shot moniker - no zenon flash severly limits the phones capabilities and best pic mode is missing too, but if you accept that a phone camera is never going reach the giddy heights of even a basic point and shoot camera, you'll have little to complain about. It's decent enough for quick, "on the hoof" snap shots and the video camera will just about do for youtube silliness. It's no n95 in this respect, but it's cheaper, sturdier and much, much less buggy. Battery life isn't bad, but not spectacular. Expect 2 days between charges with reasonable use (I use 1800 minutes a month and it's 2 days per charge for me). All in, the phone is a very nice, reliable and sturdy phone. It doesn't excell at any one task, but then that's not where it's aimed. It's not a walkman, it's not a media player, it's a tough phone designed for everyday use - something that less and less phones offer. No need to hide when you see rain with this baby.Vollständige Rezension lesen
Bought this for the other half to replace her SE K800i which was a bit battered! First impressions were good, the keys felt nice and positive, the screen was clear and sharp and it was a lot lighter and slimmer than the old phone. The menus are really easy to navigate on SE phoners, which is why we both use them, and it was apparent that the software has been improved and some of the menu options tweaked and updated. The only grumble is with the camera, which although takes excellent shots and is basically the same as on the K800i, it is not possible to zoom in on a subject while you have it on the 3 MP setting, indeed, you have to set it to VGA for it to zoom whee the quality is nowhere near, which is odd as the K800i and my old K810i could do this!! I have the new SE C902 which has a 5 MP camera which can zoom in on any setting to seems a lot more usuable! There are features like GPS included in the phone which require you to be connected to the internet which we haven't tried yet, but seems like a good feature, especially if you get lost somewhere. Also, the phone can 'Geo-tag' your photos, telling you where they were take, which seems quite clever, but not sure how necessary, and again the internet needs to be on for this! All in all, a very good phone which is designed to be dust and water repellant so good for outdoor types, reasonable battery life (not quite as good as K800i)so can only recommend it!Vollständige Rezension lesen

its a beautiful mobile phone... great look, great for robust use... came in with built-in GPS, which is accompanied with great applications... sat nav for easy road navigation, and tracking for exercising, which is really exciting to use... the GPS was pretty impressive at picking up signals, even in rainy days... the camera, althogh only 3.2mp it has face detection a a few other important camera function... making your picture better... and geo-tagging, where pictures taken will be tagged with geographical information (ie location of picture taken) although can be a bit expensive, but is a great feature that not many mobile phones out there have... it has HSDPA, which enable fast downloading, resulting in really fast mobile web browsing... its water & dust resistant, feels really good and firm when holding it, plus the screen does not leaves fingerprint as easy as other phones do, making the phone sparkling sexy!!! and lastly, the interface is created with loads of creativity and flexibility... there are much improved options for user to "personalise" their mobile phone... SE C702 packages a great deal of applications and functions... its not a smart phone or pda, but it does look like its pushing hard to that edge!!!Vollständige Rezension lesen
