Sony Ericsson W710 - User Reviews

  • Well, you can order it. You can also find this phone in some mobile shops. It's very hard to find it nowadays. Such an old phone. But I really like it. It's was my first phone, and it's great! Good luck finding it. And also, you can find this phone in some Sony mobile shops :)

  • My iPhone 5s died the other day and I resorted to my old faithful. I still love it! It's such a good bundle... worth every penny for the battery update. Even playing the "sigmore mines" game on it. Now to connect it with my netbook to have i-access and I am retro-rocketing the 21st century!

  • Seriously, where could i buy this phone nowadays? I want this phone..

  • i have 2 my sony ericsson w710i stiff pannel

  • i wanna to find sony ericson z710

  • Nice. Fits in the palm of your hand. Sporty look, with a cool fitness app to get you exercising! Hardy too, considering the number of times it fell.

  • My old phonyyyyyyyyyyyy :) Best phone I ever had, was so strong ,I destroyed it by using it too much on internet, lol. The keyboard was destroyed and the signal was down. This phone made me like sony, because it was unique. :)

  • sonyericsson w710i was my second sony phone after k900 and i lost it after using it for 8yrs. i want another of the same but its hard to find from where i am.Somalia. i am Kenyan and i know i could find it there, so am just waiting till i get back. that is some time next year. thank u for your super products.

  • My first Sony Ericsson Mobile Which made me to buy Sony Ericsson phones every time when I have to buy a phone.

  • Would like to know where can I get this phone? Any willing seller? E-mail me at [email protected].

  • Hi where did u purchased the panel. i am searching for panel i am not able to get one

  • This phone was a real fun phone to have, it made me a sony ericsson fan, wish i had kept it new and could use it today cos its design is really funky, looks futuristic.

  • 4 years On, still good. Just changed the covers & shining like a new phone.

  • Yes ,after 5 years still fine and i like it.I would like to know if you dont mind : 1-about its software update. Second the latest sony ericsson mobile in dubai market. Thank you o much

  • 4 yrs down still workin fine

  • My Mobile

  • 100% agreed.. after 5 yrs, its still working like b4..

  • wow dis phone is very good i got one frm a frnd and i love it withe the rest of mmie life it good buy it.

  • Trust me, mate! This phone can vibrate.. wear your trousers loose enough and the zipper with vibrate with the phone! I'm not kidding! I'm still using this fone (it'll 4 yrs in 2weeks time)..Still vibrates pretty hard!

  • my dad has got this phone and the rubber bit is still on, and it works fine. good phone to buy.

  • Thanks VJ - you got me to smile at work! :) I'm concerned about the vibrate strength as SE's newer phones have ridiculously weak vibrates, and I need something that'll really rock my trouser pocket as I always have it on silent... Thoughts?

  • kinda yeah.. strong enough to notice if not enough to stun u!

  • Has this phone got a strong vibrate?

  • using for 4 year...still can ON

  • 4 years and still working! Best investment! rubber melted and peeled...but solved it with some scotch tape!!!!now its shiny!

  • I have been using this phone for past 5 yrs. Its really amazing. The outer rubber has peeled off...so it looks ugly but works fantastically.

  • i love ds phone,i used it for almost 3 years already,d rubber peeled off but i replaced it with leather

  • the worst mobile ever a lot of problems from the raber in the front face to the very low log on and the handset port will make you suffer to use the main advantage of the phone which is hearing music this mobile really bad very thick poor camera i really sorry for buy this types of phones

  • how to fix camera problem of this phone? the camera is something greenish and once i take a shot, it exits the camera and turn to menu option..

  • actually it's a nice phone, but juz a problem in it, like auto shut down. its sporting functions r reli special :)

  • W710i is the worst phone ever used, do not buy any sony ericsson product, since rubber peeled off, phone hangs, camera very poor quality as they say 2MP but its not even 0MP, do not buy this phone ever. even sony centre doesnt give service. worst experience

  • why not even one clamshell model never has autofocus- that is a big mistake - AUTOFOCUS MUST BE IN ALL SONYERICSSON MODELS - then SE will be no.1-- a friendly advice for SE managment - in a body of W710 put camera 3.2mpx-autofocus-xenon flash- led light -wlan - and you get the best phone in the world - and why volume key is no longer shortcut for letters when typing sms

  • it is not so good the problem that it is closed by itself you have to open it and rubber frame easily broken in no time

  • is this phone good????

  • I want to buy it.Tell me which is better.w710i or z710i.Where i can find it now.Give an address in kolkata.

  • Thank u so0 much friend . . .

  • That's OK, mani, there's nothing wrong with it, as long as the displays light turn off simultaneously.

  • Can any 1 plz tell me that the internal display light is still open when i fold the phone, as it remains ON until the external display is lighted, so is this a problem or its ok ?

  • Good phone. It is a good alternative for W300, and it could be W301 (for example). And I thank, it was be W710 with 3G.

  • i love my phone. fell on 4 feet to the ground and its still up and running. the rubber things are coming off, the headset port is not working right though, i just dont use it anymore. i love sony ericsson, will be buying a new walkman phone this xmas..

  • where can i get a panel for my phone? w710i

  • i'm really confused..should i trade my 5130 with this one or should i consider trading my 5130 with a better sony ericsson?

  • I've had this phone for over three years now. It still works like it's brand new -battery and everything. This cannot be said for a lot of phones these days. So all is good, exept the rubbery thing on the cover has worn out some time ago, but after I replaced it with black paint, the whole thing actually looks cooler!

  • upgrade of w300 no flash no hscsd no auto focus no low resolution main display but after all good phone but the gray rubber i wish se made something powerfull stainlees steel, awwwa very strong phone and name it w301 it will be great please if you can ...

  • upgrade of w300 no flash no hscsd no auto focus no low resolution main display but after all good phone but the gray rubber i wish se made something powerfull stainlees steel, awwwa very strong phone and name it w301 it will be great please if you can ...

  • nise phone ...but i want to know the price of w710i.i also want to purchase this phone .....with some discounted rates....

  • This phone rocks!! its been with me for a year or more, for ones who are like jogging or running, it fits them,but the memory isnt really that high, and the sound isnt high neither but its great, small and good looking, I recommend it for you.. :D

  • Had this phone for exactly 2 years. 1,5 weeks after the official warranty ended, the phone started to malfunction - half the keys didn't work. Brought it to the service and got an answer that there's a problem with the motherboard of the phone and it's beyond repairs. The phone basically works, but some number keys and Back key don't work, which makes the use of the phone more than uncomfortable. Try to enter your SIM-cards PIN-code when numbers 1 and 7 don't work and your PIN-code has both numbers. Don't wanto to walk around with a phone with an unlocked SIM-card either. During the time when I had the phone, it was in warranty repairs for several times for two reasons: the phone switched itself off when it was flapped together and in the second year of usage, the rubber part peeled off. Eventually both problems were solved. I put a small piece of paper between the battery and phone to fix it in one position. After that the switching off problem didn't occur anymore. Before I thought of that solution, they updated the phone's software several times in the warranty service. Without any result. The rubber part was replaced in warranty service and the replacement seems a lot harder and more durable. Using the buttons on the rubber part is also more comfortable, because it doesn't need to be pushed as hard as before. My conclusion after using it for two years - great phone but with serious flaws. I really enjoyied the Walkman function (you won't find any better music player in any other phone than SE's W-series) and the menus-functions. But I'm really dissappointed in SE because of this phone failure. By the way, the phone still looks as good as new - no scratches, no paint worn off etc. Hasn't fallen down or anything. Neither has it been exposed to water or moisture of any ways. So I really don't see my fault in the failure of the motherboard. Don't know if I dare to buy another SonyEricsson phone anymore, since this one was quite expensive and I was hoping it will last for years...

  • Hi I have just the same problem. Rubber band is getting loose. My phone is 26m old (guarantee is out). Did your "glue attempt" help? I guess I have to do the same.

  • You can buy the service manual on ebay: This gives intructions for taking the phone apart. Copy and paste the following into your address bar: You can also buy replacement covers (fascias):

  • I have 710i and yes I had to glue the rubber on the front side back on. I have had if for 2 years, or so.

  • i want to put a new front cover on my w710 phone but i really have no idea how to take it off. there doesnt seem to be any obvious way. does anyone have any advice?

  • I've had this mobile for over 2 years now and my rubber is still on, it must be very diffrent from phone to phone (given a thought of how I take care of it ;o)) Left it outside in the grass for two weeks (in rain) and it still work! Love way you can change songs without even open the phone. Amazing phone!!!

  • No. the motion sensor is actually a step counter. There is an app in the phone to count steps or km of jogging. You attach the phone to your arm with a velcro band included. Mine still has the rubber, no problem. since 2 years. The only problem, I had to go under warranty, the phone would turn off any time just by small impacts, like closing the lid. They replaced the unit and was fine since then.

  • some says the rubber gets off quickly and some says it never , HELP! and i didn't get what u mean by the motion sensor , is it the same motion sensor in the w380 ? i can shut off a call by moving my hand over it ? please reply please please

  • i wanna buy this phone but iam not sure about the camera i heard that its fake and its only a vga camera not 2 mp so iam really not sure could someone tell me abbout that

  • i'm planning 2 buy this phone or the w610 which 1's better?...i like the flip design but 610 has more features...

  • that auto-off is a problem in the desingn of this phone. the reason is that when you open the flap , the shock removes the battery from it's possition.So paste a piece of paper or somthing on the under part of the battery cover.this is the only solution.

  • i love this phone sooo much!! i really want to have one.. it looks good and its specs are highly reasonable.. SE is the best!! love it!! ^_^

  • this is te best phne ever no problems and dose not break when droped iv had it for 2 years and mow im going to buy the f480

  • how memory esternal support this phone, because i want to put a 8gb memory, but idont now if this phone support it. thanks for your answer.

  • I've been using this HP for 2 years and i just love it especially the Walkman function. Unfortunately when i purchased it initially, i had some problem with the phone keep hanging and auto-off. So i sent to ICU after 6 months, diagnosed faulty manufaturing battery. I guess i got the default set. Lucky they change it for free and no more problems eversince. But dont buy from One U (upstairs or downstairs and its chain company, because the sales person gave me fake SE headset! And until today i'm still wondering what else i got short-changed...traumatic) Sad story aside, a year later, the rubber side began to peel off. So replace the front housing for RM88 and then i bought a soft white rubbery protective casing for my phone to prolong the expensive housing. Overall i like the phone and it's sufficient for me

  • i am, gona hv this fone real soon.....i like its look..hope it turns out well

  • W710 is the best phone but my only problem is the battery life time. I changed it, but the life time is the same (1DAY)someone can help me? if i flash my phone this problem will be resolved? Thanks guys

  • i have been using W710 for the past two years, and i have dropped it twice in to the pool, yet it still works, the only problem i ve faced was that the gray rubber lining that covers the phone peels off too quickly, mine got peeled of 3 months after i bought it.

  • plz need 2 know if it peels of by time ??

  • does it peels off by time ??? um gonna buy one so soon and its really matters to me if its peels of like all the silver phones

  • hai i need a mobile.can you sell your mobile for me?i urgently need a mobile please...

  • i had this phone for more than a year now. i love it. it does have its moments, it fell a lot of times and it's still ok. it does restart from time to time, but over-all its good. i love SE! im gonna get a new one sometime this year again.

  • very nice phone,but got problems with the rubber

  • wat a pretty good phone....i use it for years but it did not have any problem.........

  • There is another prob. dude, when i connect it to my PC via B.T. adapter, it restart it self again!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Ok, Thanks a lot :)

  • Hi my friend , i used this phone for 3 months and i have no problem with it ,the rubber didn't come out until now, and you must know it will not out alone for it doesn't play video in fullscreen but there is a program called videomaniac plays video in fullscreen mode landscape and portrait and i think it doesn't have answer machine i advice to get this mobile it's a very good mobile camera is very good in sunlight sound is good not very much loud i have 2 giga m2 and it works well without any slow down if you want more info ask more

  • does this phone have an answering machine? answering machine and voice mail are different.. i have a friend who has a phone which is samsung SGH 490 that has an answering machine in one of its menu in its messages.. i'm just curious if sony ericsson has one.. please please reply especially to those users of this phone.. thanks so much!!!

  • Does the rubber come off easily?? please tell me. I'm planning to get this next month. And can it play videos in full screen?

  • hi friends.. can we download you tube in this phone... if so where we can download the you tube...

  • The motion sensor (pedometer) is used to sense your steps, and used with the "Fitness Application" to record daily steps you take and speed, and then calculate burnt calories, etc.

  • The phone shuts off/restart by itself due to a loose connection between the battery and terminal. I stuck a little piece of paper behind the battery to push it more snugly against the battery terminal. Works perfectly. I have had the phone for almost 2 years now, could not be more satisfied!

  • since i connected my phone via usb to my computer it started to show a blank screen and it wont start when i turn it on it only shows a blank

  • What is motion sensor?

  • i have it 4 a month and start to restart it self!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • kool phone but have a problem also with the rubber....sigh

  • I have it, and I think it's great! Sound quality is excellent. Features are really good. Operating system is the same type as W880/W610/W580. As long as you don't mind the main display being a little small (1.9 inches, but still more than W350/W380 for example) it's brilliant. Phone is really easy to hold and fits comfortably in hand. EDGE is really cool/fast if your network supports it. Works with HGE-100 GPS Receiver and the latest Google Maps. Supports streaming video, RSS feeds and Email. TrackID, pedometer, Opera mini, Bluetooth with A2DP...the list goes on! Good battery life too. Of course, the camera is fine and there is a camera key unlike some recent SE phones. Finally I'd like to say the black and orange external display is excellent and you can easily see it in even the brightest sunshine. Makes it easy to control the radio/music player when the phone is closed. The only slight flaw with this phone is the video player- it can't do full screen videos. That's a bit of a shame, but apart from that I love this phone, one of SE's best.

  • is it really that bad? I'm planing to get one

  • I had a problem with the grey rubber but it was promptly replaced by the service centre FOC... quite a delightful experience actually.

  • I think it's one of the best...I wish it had 3G and a slightly bigger screen, but it's an awesome phone.

  • very good phone.but camera&lcd guality is low

  • so lucky tat i used it over 1 years already, everythings normal~ ^^ & the rubber also didn comes out~ really a great walkman flip phone!!!~ ^^

  • i think it is great... it holds alot of memory and the only thing is the rubber

  • w710 is the worst walkman sony ericsson ever. i have it...

  • its a great phone but the rubber casing torn off after 3 months

  • if you press the volume buttons before you open the flip then this will end the call, as it's a way to send a busy tone without opening the flip. make sure you're not doing that.

  • Nice phone, first SE phone I have bought. I enjoy copy/paste and the ability to minimise applications. The rubber peeled off this sporty phone after 2 months... If I had touse this phone for sporting purposes (running and listening to music) the rubber would have lasted a week. Pity the service provider will not fix the body. Last SE I'll purchase.

  • I'm really satisfied with the phone, especially am amused by the fitness features (step counter and training mode which allows me to monitor jogging distance, time, calories, running speed etc). The phone's rubber came off about a year later, also had some half-loose parts on the inside of clap. Sent it to work under guarantee but they returned it by saying that the phone have had some moisture and therefore they ended the warranty so no repair on free, also that the phone wont last long due moisture. I argued a week but no use. This is my worst (and also only bad) experience with this phone. So I glued everything myself. The very same day the phone fell into the toilet can under water:D Lift it quickly out, switched off and so far it works well. But my friends don't want to touch it anymore - which is ok by me:) Anyway, I really plan to buy the next phone same model though the camera is really shitty compared to Nokia phones but for the pictures I prefer using real camera - I have Pentax for that so no complain. That's how much I like it. And oh, the sound quality of music on speaker is the best I've ever heard from the phone!

  • Exactly. The grey rubber is just nothing.After 2 months of using, it just pulled out. This is a "sport model". And the guarantee service here in Armenia refuces to repair/change the "body" of the phone, concidering that as a "mechanical injury" ;)

  • When I answer a call, often I accidentally end the call when opening the fone. What am I doing wrong?

  • hello, i have been using this phone for over a year now. it's gud. but the rubber has peeled off. that's made my phone looks discusting. i like to playin game with my phone.. it has no problem at all.

  • There is noo difference Sarah it's just c for china and i for middle east

  • Thank you for the answer i bought the phone , the rubber comes out with you after ??????

  • Hi, yes, i had the same problem, it seems like a quality control problem, i solved the problem by buying another housing... otherwise, the phone is really nice, i have no other complaints about it...

  • I had this phone before I upgraded. It was amazing and so hardy!!! The purple made it a bit girly too!!!!

  • Hi , can you tell me if the rubber goes out with your phone ?

  • This is a perfect phone and I have been using it for more than a year now. It has the best features among the same priced phones. I give ten out of ten to its features.

  • i really like this phone. it is the only phone that has everything i need but its 2 years old so i think i might find it hard to find a shop that sells it and acessories for it.

  • what's the difference between the se w710i & the w710c? thankss

  • excellent... its a great phone

  • is it like that nike thing that u put ur ipod round ur arm and it tells u how far you go

  • well i have 2gb m2 and it works ok

  • max memory card you can put is 2 gb but as far as i know it's too slow when it is with the max possible I've been using 1 gb and it's ok

  • whats the max on memory you can put?

  • I love my phone! It is kinda old now bu I still love it, so many features that other brand phones really dont have, and I really love the AM/FM because I work in the office and it really helps me to get through the day.And I love the video features,it can record for an hour straight which most phones dont have.

  • This phone is not logging calls into my recent call list... again. Third time this has happened. It really sucks because if I get a missed call and no voicemail, I have no way of knowing who called.

  • what a great phone.good battery and easy to use.wife orefers it to samsung900.se must make more of these models.

  • I have had this phone for almost a year and it is a perfect phone! There are people who complain about peeling off from the cover. I have not experienced such a thing. Mayble other people tamper a lot with their phones and hence this problem. The battery life is okay, about 5 to 6 days with an average use, the speakerphone is not that loud but enough

  • nice phone,, my dad gave it to me a month ago, so far no problem. aside from the virus that comes from its memory card, it slows down a bit,, but still, I love it.

  • guys you can see k530i instead of w710i b'cause k530 comtain 3G and the same camera(2mp),and great PROCESSOR SPEED exceeding nokia N95,It also enables GPS by connecting HGE-100, which is not seen in w710i.I request to the guy's please also verify k530 in this website about k530 great function and also read the enthusiastic user opinions of k530i.

  • hey all, I want to buy this phone,cuz it looks nice especially the violet one. I have seen this in real only picture,but I am still not sure if I want this one, cuz I am looking for a flip up but is this the right, does anybody can give me some advice ????

  • hi all, my wife got one of these more than a year ago and no major issues. Until about a month ago - when a call comes in and you open up, no audio via normal telephone speaker set-up (only if diverted to loudspeaker). Similar thing if she calls - you can see connection to the caller, but no audio (again, unless going to loudspeaker route). Got a exchange phone via Vodacom here in South Africa, but then same problem after a few good calls... Anyone had the same problem?

  • is this walkman phone really that bad? or is it up to the user and how he/she uses it? i mean, it's so cool looking.... and i was thinking of buying one but if it has a lot of faults, i'm having 2nd thoughts...

  • I love my W710i---7 months---NO probs...thank you

  • Anybody ever have the 2 pieces of pastic on both sides of the hings for the face plate piece come off? WTF! Why are they comming off! They never even get touched!

  • Peeling of rubber strap is covered under warranty. But in order to get the new rubber strap under warranty , you have to hand over them the damaged strap.

  • I totaly agree wid "krazyfrog"..dis phone has a lot of gud qualities..but at da same time it has misadvantages that i hate soo much..i had it 4 abt 7 months now..i liked it @ 1st..n liked its shape n da walkman..but now i wanna replace it..a new problem just appeared 2 me: da alarm doesnt work wen da phone is switched off..actually dis phone is drivin me crazy :S:S

  • Guys, about the rubber peeling off - does Sony cover this under warranty? Is superglue a safe option to use - doesn't it bugger the body or electronics of the phone?

  • This phone got a lot of positive-strong points but it also got the negative points... This phone is the best phone in the world more than you'll ever know. Look at the bright side you w710 users. Using this phone needs a lot of responsibility especially its rubber......

  • I have this phone since the last 9 months and these are the things I like to say about it: The Good things- The design is very nice. Everyone who saw the phone agrees with me on this. The external screen is really large and useful. The alpha-numeric keypad is really large and very easy to use. The display is very crisp and bright. Sound quality through headset is excellent. External music controls are very useful. Fitness app is a nice feature. Ability to minimize java apps. Also capable of running more than one java apps at once and can easily switch between them using the Activity menu. Decent browser for a non-smartphone. Track ID feature is fantastic. Now the Bad things- The external rubber peels!!! The centre selection key on the D-pad is impossible to use without hitting other keys. Also the chrome on the D-pad wears off. No zooming of images and fullscreen view in file manager! No fullscreen landscape more in video player! Phone switches off for no reason. Also the light switches while using the phone for no reason. Camera images not upto the mark. Disgusting quality of recorded video. Loudspeaker not loud enough (for music and for ringtones). Phone memory only 17mb. Cannot playback files with .aac extension (works flawlessly in Nokias). Also .rm files don't appear in Walkman player. Fast post collects all the dust in the world and the headset and charger does not work reliably. Battery life not impressive, especially with heavy use of gprs/edge. Phone takes ages to start and become fully functional. FM radio not sensitive enough to work indoors.

  • this phone is easy to use.. sound clarity is good but not effective... screen is too small.. too much costly..

  • yo VIMUKTHI: i hav da same s**t in my phone man. dis is utterly useless. i had to thro dat piece o s**t about a month ago. i ddn use da damn thng @least a year!!!!!!!!!!

  • dis is a useless phone. everything went wrong. as for most users the flap gets very loose and wen u xceed the limit its beyond repairing. utterly useless. the screen is rubbish. i could have like with the poor resolution and less colors but i cant use this with NO COLORS on the skreen. its completely blank. da hedset is rubbish. connectors went lose after some time. oh you know wat!!!!! da bloody bit of rubber starts peeling off. F***!!!!!! & cant use more than a 512 card. da bloody thng slows down and get stuck!!!!!!!! F***!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Been using this phone for over a year. Good phone, very user-friendly with great button feel and usage. Droped hard onto concrete a few times and still working good. Only problem for me.. Grey Rubber at the side started coming off which made the phone ugly. Had to superglue it back on.

  • I have this model W710 and have a big problem.Sometimes if anybody call me I am not available and if I see that problem any way to solve that is to open the top cover and I will be available.If anybody have same problem plese to give me any sugestion what I need to do. Best regards Aldin

  • i am a little confused when i went out to buy this people said don't buy it .. it's flap gets loosened.. and isn't that much of a recommended phone it's camera isn't all that 2MP people are saying spend a little more and go for 5310 i really wanted a flap, but what do you people say what should i buy 5310 or w710i? i really need an urgent response .. need to buy till monday max. contact : [email protected]

  • You can't think of one camera that has optical zoom?

  • in order for it to have true zoom not digital zoom, the lense would have to come out of the freaken camera ya putz! I cant think of one camera that has that.

  • Its freakin phone wat does it matter if the zoom isnt that good. its got 2mp camera already, isnt that enough. U want a good zoom then go by a real camera.

  • I had this phone for about 1 1/2 years and i like the phone...this being my first SE was nice.i had great reception everywhere i went..also everyone was amazed at how good the track id is...overall it was a good phone other than the rubber peel off...good job SE and as of right now im searching for another SE phone cause you guys rock

  • Isn't that disappointing? Doesn't even have a true zoom function.

  • on the zoom-thnx, u r right, need to set the picture size to VGA inorder for the zoom to work!. Thnx for the tip.

  • The phone won't zoom if you have the camera set at 2mp. Is that the problem? On a side note anybody who thinks this is a good phone has either never owned a phone before or is out of their mind.

  • it's a great phone except for the rubber covering that keeps peeling off,had to send it to the service center twice. Also i'm unable to use the zoom feature. Is anyone else facing the problem with the zoom or is it just me?

  • Do this hp can blacklist contacts?

  • its not a abd choice either.. i brought this one last month... now its fully updated one.. have got all features ..only thing is while talking the sound volume is tooo low.

  • Guys someone pls tel me can u dwnload above 2 mb to ur w710? If it hapens,tel me d technique.

  • I had the same problems with the switching off flaw. Went to the service twice. The first time it was ther for three weeks and the only thing the eventually did (stood on the service report) was cleaning the battery's connections LOL. The second time they updated the firmware and software. It's been 1,5 months and so far the problem hasn't occured again. I've heard about the rubber parts problem and that's why I'm using my phone carefully. Altogether a good phone - not very popular, so that every other guy walking up the street doesn't have it. The headphones really suck, that's why I bought HPM-70 upper part of the hands-free. With those the sound is really-really great. Don't want to see no Creative Zen nor SanDisk Sansas anymore with their crappy sound.

  • I used this fone for 7mnths and for me the following were THE GOOD: 1. Excellent sound quality. 2. Mega bass is just amazing. 3. Clear voice reception. 4. Easy functionality. 5. good battery life. 6. Luxurious keypad,u will deliberately make typo mistakes just to enjoy the keypad for some more time. Sony ericcson ROCKS in this area. 7. Big screen than expected. 8. Rubber provides better grip, i liked that ,it doesnt slip away. THE BAD: 1. the voice reception is clear but not loud enough even in highest level. I had to stick it into my ears hard on road. 2. weak clamshell. 3. Rubber comes off..dont worry 'glue it' ;-p ,i did the same. 4. Pictures are not to the level of 2MP. THE UGLY : 1. My display just goes blank sometimes even while i m using it. I had it serviced but the problem never ceased(Cant generalize it though..may be the problem with the hardware of my piece) 2. I lost my mobile...someone stole it!!!

  • It's an awesome phone with awesome features. It's also great that one can multitask with it-have diff applications running at the same time. However, i have owned two of these (one for a week only) and they both came with manufacturing faults. The first kept on erasing the short cut i had programmed in. The second kept on switching off & even continued to do so after sending it in for repairs. About 5 months after getting the phone the outer rubber that surrounds the screen simply came off. It would be an excellent phone if SE could only sort out it's programming and design faults.

  • Can Somebody tell me what is the possibility that this Cellphone W710 can has the WALKMAN 2.0, in her netx firmware update?????

  • Downloadable games, themes, software, ringtones 1.) First go to Google.com 2.) then type Sony Ericsson w720 games, there you can download your games even your themes, software, ringtones.

  • SOrry i meant reception, not signal.

  • Konvict: I had a razr (the V3i), THE WORST PHONE YOU CAN EVER HAVE! The signsal problem? wow, you must have pretty bad signal, cause my v3i did not have signal, ANYWERE!

  • i dont know if its just my phone. but my w710, even though its a Quad band, the recption is not as good compared to my other friends phone (razr v3i).

  • Yes, it is possible to use the phone as a portable pendrive, since it supports mass storage, Windows will see it just as another pendrive. Overall, the phone is quite nice, my only complaints are that the rubber material used on the front cover, is prone to tear apart, i had to glue it back a few times and is deteriorating, i think that SE should have done a better work with that part. Other than that, the phone performs pretty well and gives the user plenty of options in almost every aspect.

  • plz some one tell me what exactly happens when THE RUBBER PEELS OFF??? the phone works??? right? so whats the big deal??plz clarify. i wanna getit

  • I want buy this one. Can any one tel me about overall performance of it. Is it possible to use it as a portable pendrive thanks

  • i am looking to get this phone but what is the rubber??,

  • AWESOME PHONE!!!! ya after sometime the rubber might come off .. has NO malfunctions ive had it for more than a year and the rumors about it are wrong it works perfectly fine instead more than fine... makes perfect videos, 2MP camera result is awesome... it's BATTERY life is awesome!!! ive got a huge collection of songs, pictures, videos on it, FM reception is exceptional... it's worth buying has all the features anyone would look for in a cellphone all other cellphones are always missing some or other feature but this one will not let you down but ya it's small if u dont like small cellphones then well thats a different story i like the arm/wrist band that comes with it plus audio output wire that i hook up with my sony deck, its a full package! including the headphones ofcourse ... one thing i would although advice is that if ure really into bass and powerful music then get HPM-75 headphones would do even though the ones that come with w710i are excellent but HPM-75 are powerful!!!

  • I have this phone for a month now. There are some slight peeling in the bottom part of the rubber but nothin serious. I like this phone, it performs well but not as quick as my previous W810. I upgraded to the latest firmware and I have yet to encounter any major problems. The video player is good, it can play QVGA resolution mp4 @ 24 fps. I tried it by converting youtube videos @ vixy.net, it works fine in W710. That's amazing coz the same video files doesn't work in 6233. It can also play 6233 videos recorded @ CIF resolution. It doesn't play VGA though and can't play in fullscreen landscape mode like W610.

  • if the rubber falls off, does the external keys still work?

  • I've had 3 phones in the past 3 years and I gotta tell you this phone rocks , really it does

  • I noticed a lot of the comments complaining of the phones malfunctions are from users whose first language is not English. I've already ranted about how much I hate this phone but mine is also a w710c. Are the malfunctions only happening on the w710c?

  • Its good for its sound and mega bass is good only with head phones.. Rubber peels off... front display went haywires in6 months and set right when mother board replaced :~(. doesnot play AAC.. reminders and notes alerts are factory set only and no liberty to customize. For that price it is better to avoid this fone and go for better model.

  • i really love this phone, this is the perfect phone for me, but unfortunately the rubber peels off after 8months,i tried to find shops where i can buy the same rubber, but i found nothing...so sad,ihave to change it another new phone.

  • I so agree with all the comments I have read so far. The rubber of my phone came off a month after I bought it. What made it worst is that everytime I go to a Sony Ericsson shop the only thing that they can tell me is that they're still waiting for a replacement to be delivered. I have my phone with me for about 11 months now and they still cant fix it. Im so getting rid of this next year.

  • hi if the rubber comes off, does this mean the external music keys will no longer work?

  • I love this phone.. I bought it because of it's flip and it's music. love the design.. although not the best design. but after 2 months I do disappointed. but so many problem since I buy it. the rubber peals off after a month, software crash. the phone freeze after a month with the famous white screen. turn off by itself... 3 times service at SE.. once they change for new device.. but it getting worse. freezing problem every time the battery getting hot.it's bad. I would change the phone today.

  • i get w710i but i change it 3 times and its work for 60 - 90 day only after that problems , its unsuccessful phone & its bad

  • In reply to the last person's question... I posted a few spots down complaining about how terrible this phone is. This particular problem happened to me as well but I didn't list this problem for one reason. I bought the w710c the very first week it launched and was using China Unicom. This problem only happened to me for the first week or two and never occurred again. I thought it was a problem that was addressed and fixed... apparently not. One more reason why this phone sucks.

  • Hi all.I have a problem with w710i.i bought this phone about 2 months ago,before this problem when somebody call and i don't answered(missed call)the name of the contact appears on the activity menu,but now it's doesn't appear and tell that no missed calls.please help me

  • does this support 4 gb sandisk or kingcom M2 cards?

  • I have W710i little more than 6 months and I must tell the phone sucks...software is allways chrasing,phone goes crazy from time to time,flipes modes...crazy phone but it's only good becouse the sport programes,that is pure 10 ;)

  • Hi, this is my phone since May 2007 and I love it! It is a cool phone for an outdoor going person like me. The MP3 is cool and I fell the phone accidentally 3times and is very durable and working. That is what I like most in SE phones! The battery lasted longer than the other SE phones I have.

  • I guess this is one of the most unsuccessful walkman phone coz it has many problems. I tell u better not buy this and buy something else. Like T650,W610,W910,K850,W960 or few Nokia fones. I hate its cranky and delicate calm. One of the worst.

  • This mobile works very well with no problems. Battery life will depend if you fully charge it the first time before use!Videos can be misty but might due to lens being dusty. PC does not allow SE data for unknown reason. Best unbreakable mobile is the Nokia 6250. Wish someone would make a new version

  • it's a great phone. i don't have problems with this phone! it's really nice. i have w710 from 02/2007.

  • I have the exact same problems as the last person who writes here. i also can't connect the phone to the pc as it tells me that it is an unknown device

  • Buyer beware, this is the worst electronic device I have ever owned. Here are the big issues. The rubber peals off in just a few weeks. It claims to be able to play AAC. What you don't realize is it is not capable of playing AAC in track order so no listening to albums as intended without creating a custom play list for each. The supplied clip has detached itself from my belt several times. The paint comes off easily. The phone now turns off automatically if you shut the clam shell to hard. I got the famous white screen of death within the first month of owning it. Bluetooth connectivity seems to be inconsistent.

  • this phone haven`t a zoom on picture viewer it`s the bigesst disadvantage. camera is also not good pls do sumthing

  • From singapore. Camera sucks. No zoom. Blur image even though its 2 megapixel.

  • sharon: w810 is good but its like a old brick compared to w710. I think w710 is a lot better

  • nice camera!low speakers...

  • there is no zoom after you take the pic.... and the spicers are not so nice..........

  • can any body tell me abt this thing???????????

  • this phone haven`t a zoom on picture viewer it`s a big disadvantage

  • hi frenz!!! is this model supports 2GB memory slot???? plz reply me???

  • go get a w810 better. w810 is more tough, cam better sound better and w810 so much better than w710

  • hi i'm planning to buy this piece what do you guys suggest any other model which offers these features and one which has got lesser problems than this one???????

  • This phone is fantastic.I got it about 4 months back, the only problem there is , is, the original rubber casing started getting damaged in about a couple of months and peeled of a fortnight back, but SE replaces the same with a better quality front casing for free. So its cool again. I have heard several people saying that the earphone jack experiences defectiveness after sometime, but I have not had that problem yet. gotta see. Ciao

  • all features are great of w 710 including its look. battery is creating a problem. as per the commitment of talk time of 10hrs, it hardly give a talktime of 2 hrs. Company should look into it.. Else the phone is fantastic...

  • with all the feedback around about its lousy physical build quality (AND THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SPORTY PHONE!!!)you'd the wiseguys at sony intentionally put in those with the inferior rubber gaskets so that they can earn a little more by having them wear out so quickly forcing the poor owner to have it replaced...pathetic

  • This is the most disappointing phone from ericsson since the r600. Just barely 6 months into using it (take note, not even subjecting it to the treatment by the female tennis player on its commercial), the rubber comes off. i also decided to use the fitness function by using the clip-lo and behold, the paint starts chipping off within a week! Lousy build quality! if it not for the fact that it can play wav files apart from mp3 and aac, i would've ditched this phone a long time ago!!!!

  • come on people w710 is great phone but the rubber problem does not make me change the just change the rubber ...... it was happened to me and i change it.... SE has fixed the probled in it and the rubber will not come off again .......... iam not gonna to chane this phone EVER.

  • does anyone know if you can replace the case with that of z710? cos black its nicer

  • @ Anas. You can sell it and buy W810 or W610. And i guarantee you that u will love these phones. W610 is new and better more featured than W810i.Lg KG is fully loaded phone but doesnt live to our expectations.

  • it's about 1 month i buy this fone but the rubber prob is also with me the rubber is coming out so i decide to sell it nd bug lgkg 300 is iam doing thr rite thing ply rply till this nite

  • can any one let me know weather the rubber net will be replaced or not the set is in warranty the same is not available with the SVC

  • @ Amaka Please approach the SE service centre and they will repair the rubber by fixing a high quality and harder rubber. Got that..

  • i bought this phone and two months later, the rubber went off, ever since then i alway have to glue it and this is so horrible. sometimes i regret buying the phone and to think i bought it so expensive($345)

  • thx guys 4 answering me..:) but i realized something else..some dust got into ze external display..i dunno how :S..and i dunno how 2 clean it..would u temme wut 2 do about it plz??!!

  • to vG4@ go to the camera, press "more", go to "picture quality" and change to "fine" and the camera quality is much better as for the rubber problem if you dont put your mob in a case I would suggest it. you may also need new headphones I have this phone and it's great :)

  • why is the external display pop-up for incoming messages cannot be turned off??? is there a way to turn this thing off because somebody can read somebody's message without opening the flip?

  • To ANAS; The phone is a walkman phone and it will be a bit softer than the non walkman Z610. But as you compare both of them the W710 will better sound clarity. Hey you should have bought the W610. It is louder. But the W710 aint bad.

  • hey my mother bought z610i and i have w710i so my question iz that the sound of w710i iz less then z610i aur there is some prob with my cell and ya i am talking about speakers not about head phone plz replyyyyyyyyy!!!!

  • well za battery stays with me up to 5 days and even more_if i don't turn on za walkman_actually i think this phone is better than Z710, W710 also has 3 advantages that doesn't exist in Z710: it has a walkman, and the memory card included is 512 MB, besides that W710 is a sports mob., it has a fitness feature.. that's why i think W710 is a better one..

  • what is the battery life like in this phone on a full charge? i have an option between this phone and the Z710I. can someone plese recommend which one i should buy. thanks

  • hey guys..this mob. is awesom..it rox.. but i can only find 1 disadvantage: i can't zoom in za pics i captured..i tried everything..can anyone just tell me is this true or za prob. is in me?..coz i couldn't believe zat such an awesom mob. doesn't have this function..

  • I will Purchase This Mobile(W710) So Plz Tell Me This Phone Future & Sound & Other Data About This Mobile Ok

  • @lisa: the rubber that we mean is the the front of the phone where you can change mp3 tracks there you listen or change a radio station. Yes,it is bad because i have talk with the sony ericsson service center and they told me that it isnt in the warranty... So,if you want to buy that phone,buy a phone case to save the rubber. I have a w710 and the rubber has even came off so i want buy some S500 without rubber and these stuff...

  • hi guys!! after i read all the opinion, almost 95% of u guys mention about the rubber that keep coming out. im about to buy this phone soon. so, just want to know which rubber r u guys talking about? is it bad?

  • i like to know what about the SPEAKER MUSIK OUTPUT of the phone And CAMERA of the phone basicaly musik is important to me that camera so plz tell if some one is using this phone ....plz...plz

  • hi, i have had the phone now for almost six months, i have changed the rubber under the warranty. There also is problem with the bluetooth: it works fine wen data is being sent out, but wen i try to get any data via bluetooth, it gives me an error that the memory is full, wen its not. Also wen i play tennis via bluetooth the connection is lost after the 2nd set. The sound recorder dsnt work even after the change... can some one let me know if this is a sriuos problem, coz they have upgraded my software with a new handset.... but the problem still persists. PLZ HELP wanted urgently..... email me.

  • To look your w710i as if its new again, I bought myself an external protective hard-plastic on it. that's why the rubber is still stick on it, also a black phone "sock", My comment with this is that, the external camera has no protection. also the earphone easily loose, the external display has no protection also (because I already removed the plastin on it)

  • TO SONYA: Charge the phone when switched off for 6-8 hours. Best is to charge during the night when u r asleep. For me it returned an healthy battery backup of 2 days.

  • Can someone tell me how to increase the battery back up of this phone? It only lasts for max 3 hours ... how long do i recharge this phone..?? Also I am upset about the zoom feature in the camea of this phone.. U cannot zoom in !! and one more thing.. the pictures that u have saved in the phone cannot be zoomed either .. :( very disappointing..

  • i am using this for 6 months, pretty good. recently i downloaded .jad and .jar files and installed chess program from web which is working fine. now i want quickoffice jar and jad files.. can anybody help me? if you have those files please e-mail me and secondly is there a way to view the video full screen thanks

  • i got this w710 and before that i had w700i and i should say that w700 has a good camera result than this w710 and also i use this for 3 months and the rubber came off so what should i do buy a new one or claim the warranty

  • AN IDEA TO FIX THE peeling off of the rubber I have an idea to fix the peeling of the rubber. 1) Laminate the outer part body of the phone. In this way the rubber nuisance will be controlled to a great extent. It worked for me. I hope all u people understand.... Now your W710 is the best phone. I know video is QCIF.But ignorable. Hey even some N series phone have Qcif video.

  • i want to buy this one!! it has got everything i.e great music player.. 2 megapixel camera..edge....great looks to impress girls...looks great in soft hands..nice display....external music keys....512 mb card..what else do i want in this price?? thank you SE!!!!

  • Hi, i have had this phone for quite some time and below are its +'s and -'s --------+'s-------------- 1) nice look 2) sports utilities 3) fast UI 4) clearer sound then N70M 5) big keys, so a good feature for ppl with big fingers like me. 6) can be handled pretty rough. 7) external music keys |||||||||||||||||-'s||||||||||||||||||| 1) rubber comes off, nothing works, recommend not using superglue as once that us used the service cnr guys will not gaurantee a zero damage replacement. 2) the sound is not loud enough. 3) ok images 4) unprotected camera 5) no zoom in 1 and 3MP 6) once the rubber is off, the external music keys are a pain to use. 7)the phone is not useable when transfering filed using USB. 8)the head phone jack comes loose thats pretty much what i can think of...now its up2 u....

  • i have this phone about 5 months and the rubber came off, i used super glue but it came off again im very dissapointed, also cable became loose from frequent change between the ear plug, charger nad usb cable. I suggest sony ericssion go back to their drawing board and redesign this problem.

  • i got this phone. its ery hot but there r two main disadvantages.1) the rubber comes off. i tried to super glue it but it came off again so we need to do this process f glueing quite frequently. 2) the camera image quality is not that good.

  • recently got...in comparison with my old t290i it is great. recomend it

  • 2gb card works fine, phone is as fast as with the 512mb card.

  • How long does the external rubber last? A month? A year? What do I have to do to keep my phone's appearance like a brand new one?

  • I have the same question. Can I use a 2GB memory M2 om my W710i? I read the manual and it does not mention it

  • thank you, greece...I'm kind of a rat-pack when it comes to SMSes...so there... :-) I'm still considering on purchasing between this and SE M600i though. I know some of you might think that this is not a fair comparison due to different styles and functions etc., but every opinions on comparing these two will be helpful...thank you...

  • can i download thems &

  • one question:can it hold up an 2GB M2 card? or will it slow down the phone or stuck it? PS:sorry,my english is not so good... :)

  • W710 do not erased the SMSes on change of sim card

  • if the front rubber cover comes off, could super glue be used 2 stick it bak together

  • iit is very good phone but front cover rubber has some problem., means it goes loose when you will use it. so plaese use it with cover

  • I had a choice between the W810i and the W710, i'm going for the W710 cause it's affordable. What I want to is can I lock my keypad with a security lock code. Can any one help me soon pls. Thank You.

  • I am not quite sure whether i should get the W710i cus it it quite hot where i live and i am not sure whether the weather will be friendly 2 to the outer rubber. could someone pls describe what it looks like without the cover or out up some pics. Pls I am very curious.

  • Just one question, dear people: If we change the SIM card with another, will the SMSes stored in the Inbox lost, just like my old SET610? Do all SE phones automatically erased the SMSes? Info please, thanks...

  • this fone is great!! i think this fone is better than nokia 5500.. banZaii to sE !!! luvH u somUch sE !!! yeaH !!!

  • Mine almost exploded in my ear... it had a short circuit and it overheated (It wasn't the battery by the way)When I finished a call it just begun to smell like something burning and it came some smoke out of the back of phone. I turned it off and took it to the store. I got a new unit, same model. I like the phone and I hope it was just bad luck. It looks like Star Trek gear to me. I just love it and I don't have to take my delicate 80GB iPod to the gym with me every time.

  • The best phone ever!Sony Ericsson rulez again.I have one and I can say that the sound is loud and clearly!No Nokia phone can catch this.Buy it if you be a real music fan!

  • wow i tot only my rubber gets off... thx for reminding me bout the warranty.. anyway im gonna change it for a new 1 no matter wat is the cost cuz i rili love dis phone... i loved this phone since it came out in this website last year feb n i waited till october n bought it once it was out in malaysia. sumtimes there are sum strange characters appear on my screen but i dun think that is a bg problem... the biggest problem is the rubber.. n it gets scracthed easily.. but i can say its the most beautiful phone ever!

  • So far it's a great toy. I've had it for 2 days now and love it. It works like a charm. Calls are clear and loud, even in noisy enviroments. The bluetooth connectivity works great and it saved me a lot of time transfering all my contacts from my Sony Ericsson P910. 2 Things I hate: THE CAMERA is a worthless piece of s h * t and I feel it's a rip off from SE: why did they lie to us??? It's just as bad as the P910 camera (VGA quality) even at its max resolution setting. The rubber finish because I know it's going to fall off and die soon. What the hell, no one lives forever right?

  • it is a great phone but the rubber keep coming off you would not think this would happen for the money i paid for it

  • It now costs 285$.

  • I'm considering changing my W810i for a W710i 'cause this have A2DP Bluetooth technology and mine doesn't have it. Will this change be an upgrade? Is the W710i a better or similar phone?

  • See i ask u this did the N70 had the sound clarity better than W710? Ignore the volume level. I own also a Nokia 5200 which has amazing volume level, but has no clarity(digital impact like the ones by W series)..

  • can some one help me abt the MEGABESS.. how it work? and where is the sistem? i cant find it!! pls help me pls... thx

  • i recieved this phone about two months ago after carefull concideration and i love my phone, but i bought myself a Nokia N70 about 2 weeks ago and sadly i find that my n70 sound is so much louder than my phone. Otherwise i love all the features on my phone and wont trade it for the world.

  • To Tam, I think it has Arabic language. My bro has this phone and says that he has the language. But while buying please ask the retailer IF it has the Arabian Language. Or why dont you also try W610i.

  • thank u Raman for ur advice,but u still not tell me is that w710i has arabic language ? and if i can download programe on it like :- dictionary, conversion and other applications

  • The only differences between N71 and SE W710 are: Video call and flash(in Nokia N71) If you want a music phone, fast user interface,good performing mobile go for SE W710. The N71 is bulky in size. But it is good in durability(I got this point from this website). Choice is up to you.

  • i wanna 1 to tell me what is better w710i or n71 ? and is w710 has arabic languge ?

  • 1. can this phone send java apps? 2. can you put them where you want like in w810? 3. how is the camera?

  • I have an idea to fix the peeling of the rubber. 1) Laminate the outer part body of the phone. In this way the rubber nuisance will be controlled to a great extent. It worked for me. I hope all u people understand.... Now your W710 is the best phone. I know video is QCIF.But ignorable. Hey even some N series phone have Qcif video.

  • It's an overall great phone but the rubber comes off. And to me it doesn't make any sense to get it replaced if it's only going to come off again. And trust me no amount of glue is going to keep it on.

  • Hello W810 is one of the phones with the loudest sound followed by W550i and W300i. But sound is a BIT less than expected. The SE people has confessed 2 reasons for the peeling of the rubber. 1) Rubber expands on heating. SO if you live in a hot country the problem occurs. But u can replace it for free as one has a 1 year warranty. 2) Constant opening and closing of the mobile.

  • I like this phone to buy. But I have a question: Is it true that the rubber peels off?? and how about the quality off sound (loud) from the loudspeaker. Is it loud like the w300?? I hope this mobile to be louder than w810 because w810 isn`t louder for my taste

  • its a good phone but the outer rubber grip keeps giving me problems..it keeps coming out..has anyone faced this problem

  • very very very good phone in w series

  • Have this phone 2 months and am disappointed. Has 5 alarms. Set two (recurring + once-off) and both fail more than once. Also special letters for other languages lacking. Family members also have hassels with w phones - software. Battery life short. Will go back to Nokia

  • after 3 months of use, here is my honest feedback 1) functionality voice, the phone is gr8, it never hungs up on me 2) I love the sony ericcson music player, the bass is terrific complains 1) battery- I have to charge daily-- probably bcoz I hear too much music 2) the beautiful rubber coating that I once admired now has started peeling off, I still have to find a solution for that 3) i hate the camera--it sucks... they have lied IT IS NOT 2MP camera..its a VGA quality camera.

  • Assalamualaikum, I'm want dis phone soon.i'm luv it.coz dis phone is great.wassalam

  • Great music phone!! Just got this phone a few weeks ago, and it rocks! It looks a bit ugly mainly because of the white, and sometimes the buttons are hard to press due to their size, other than that the phone is great. Best feature is you can listen to the radio/mp3 player without earphones. It has an external speaker, so it basically acts as a stereo. Camera is decent quality, and has a lot of features, but no other phone out there can match this for music!

  • a) it's RAZOR b)i want SE WALKMAN mobile with 3 MP camera cuz i really like all Walkman phones from SE c)i put little smile |:)| so you all know it was kind of joke! ...

  • To RAZOR Or BLADE Whatever; You want a SE with 3 MP camera then have a look at SE T650, K790,P1.

  • hi i realy want to buy the phone how is pic? pls can anyone give me more details about this module. thks lot.

  • I really like this phone...but i wanted to buy Samsung U700 but i cant wait that long...what m i going to do??? Please God give us a SonyEricsson Walkman phone with 3 MP camera (or more) :)

  • I dont know why this phone is doing fairly in the market. It has everything in balance except for few problems. Hey. I never saw this phone's ad on TV. Thats why.........

  • I absolutely LOVE this phone. The walkman holds over 6 full Cds which is great. If you're a fitness person, this is the phone for you. The only problem is that the camera isn't the best but its great. I lost my phone and it's a sad, sad occasion...snif, snif...tear tear...Bye!!!

  • i have a problem regarding my phone i drop it on the water accidentaly and the lcd not lighting anymore if i will dry it the phone be back to normal operation?

  • Yes Its Nice hadset but it has Low ringtone Volume, No Zoom for images, & no fullscreen View

  • Yes its excellent. But Only the feature it miss is Low Ringtone Volume, No Zoom for Images, No Fullscreen view (Landscape View), except this all features are good, I like it

  • can any 1 let me know... how to download games for phone ?

  • Uhm i really like this phone cos it's cute but my only problem is that it freezes frequently, i always have to take out the battery and restart it for it to get norrmal. Anyway can someone also help me out with how to use MP3 as a ringtone, it seems not working out well for me unless as a contact rringtone

  • To Sip sip 1999; Yes you can go ahead upgrading to 2 GB. But you will get a slow performing mobile if you stuff it up with games,mp3,themes,etc.

  • I purchased this phone on line via ebay. I got it as backup and also because i was getting a little pi**sed with carrying a phone and ipod to gym. The radio is great and build quality is excellent. The phone and data option are a synch and as usual the SE menue is the best out there. If you are an active person - this is the phone for you and the bonus is the excellent battery life.

  • I plan to upgrade my memory stick to 2G is it advisable?

  • OMG, that's a relief, I never thought it would be THAT simple! Thanks so much, it really worked for me too, I owe you one for that advice :)) So it's still the best phone I ever held in my hands - in other words, my opinion is back to normal :)

  • I got this problem the very first day. I just deleted all the call contacts(missed,dial,received). And then it worked. I guess all phones have disadvantages. Even the legendary Nokia 3310 has problems.

  • I've got this phone for about five months now and it's been great - I mean, till three days ago I had nothing to complain about it, everything works perfectly, it looks like new.. I really love it, there wastn't a moment to feel sorry for buying it - it's everything I wanted in a phone. And actually it's still perfect - the first and only problem (for the time being) occured last weekend when I had to turn it off for a couple of days. After getting back to civilization and turning it on, it stopped recording the calls - dialled, answered, missed - the call list just doesn't update anymore. I just got the latest version of the software and tried all possible ways I could find to fix it but it wouldn't work. Has anybody else had that problem? It seems to be quite rare cause Google finds almost no entries about it (and no answers at all) but anyway I was hoping there might be a solution other than taking the phone to the service. Thanks in advance.

  • It's only been about four months since I bought this phone. The rubber covering the front side border is loosening & seems to be removed.

  • mica: www.getjar.com ->this site provides you with all J2mE softwares available to download for free and/or by trial

  • Yes the face rubber easily gets off! My phone is 4 months old but it looks ugly already because of the rubber. And I went to sony ericsson service center and they don't have a stock to replace the face rubber. :(

  • this is the best mobile

  • mica: the theme is incompatible for your phone. esato.com provides list of themes compatible with the phones designated to it. make sure the theme is compatible on your phone(example those themes for the W810 won't fit to the W710 because the platform is different even though they sport the same screen resolution) hope this helps

  • question... how can i use the theme that i've download???? After I press SET, A dialog "File corrupted..." appears? please help me.

  • Great phone but i agree the font size is too small,im having big problem reading message i get.. hahah and the rubber is comeing off too:( What can i do teke my phone to my phone service? will i hvae to pay for new rubber? anyone?

  • woot...i just bought this thing a week ago... and it waas excellent!!! beside the cheap prize it has nice feature and amazing music quality.... only one thing i'm not satisfied with is image viewer... i can't zoom any picture beside the picturee took by SE phone... though i only able to rotate it... and i have one problem, when i connect usb port to my computer and select 'file transfer'the icon won't show up.... and my w710i turned off and restarted somehow... but when i connect the cable while my w710 turned off... the icon show up and i'm able to transfer the data... but only the memory card icon show up, phone memory icon won't show up...

  • gr8888 luks

  • if your phone does not start, try going to your service provider and getting a newer SIM card. I know this sounds wierd, but I had this issue when I got my SE Z600. Luckily my wife's SIM was newer and when I tried that it worked, so I just went in and bought a new SIM and it worked great.

  • it is the sftware problem., may be u r using ur phone very roughly., try 2 go at sony service centre &load software., ok bye., i hope u got a clear picture about this.

  • i got this phone since January 24th very good music and camera quality, the camera may look crap at night, thats until you turn on night mode by pressing the 3 key then it becomes reasonably good in day light 2mp is good sound quality is good altho usual SE earphones lack bass, thanks to HF with universal 3.5mm plug. phone takes more time than an average phone to start up, external display is funky, and for those who havent noticed, the color of it becomes a greenish hue from the orange when viewed in sunlight.call quality and talktime good phone lasts around 4 days normal use. overall a good phone, if styling slightly unusual(what da hell is with the antenna!?!?) external music keys are superb !

  • which one out of W710i W600i[W550i] W850i W810i has best sound quality??????? i wanna buy neone of these but i am getting confused

  • my phone wont start up.....can anyone help me with that?? all i get is a white screen....whats up with that? someone pls help me, let me know if this problem can be fixed

  • Well i have this phone and it delivers a battery life of 2 to 2and half days. Not bad for a music phone. But try W880i instead of this. It has 3G but no camera & FM Radio. W710i is a good choice although.

  • Hi there! I have this phone as an exelent choice, good features an functios, but u can't use the camera at night, looks terrible withuot any light

  • To RAJ: You can replace it for free by the Sony Er costumer care. You have warranty........

  • The software comes along with the package. If not contact the dealer immediately

  • To Monoranjan: the software should come together with your W710 if it is original from SE.

  • Hi, I have purchased W710 model. I have taken few photographs. While I was trying to download the photos into my PC, it asked to install a software. Please help me to get that software. Thanks Monoranjan

  • Hi len iam a music freak So i use the phone to listen to music alot but i still have no problem with the rubber buttons yet.i have the phone for 2&half weeks so its kinda new . my advice to u is to wait more and take your time to make a wise choise.

  • hi broken promises, just want to know if the rubber pudding of your cp is loosen, coz it is the problem of other users..i still like it eventhough the sounds is low or whatever but the rubber problem is the worst i can't take...if the looks have a problem, i cant bear it..pls help coz i will buy another cp soon...

  • Hi all . i got the phone 2 weeks ago and its all good But i have to say that The speackers volume kinda low (my brother got the k310i and its much more louder) i dont know why its suppose to be a walkman phone !!!!! and The battary life is not that good ( dont exepect to last more than day if u are listen to music) For any question about the phone just ask

  • Good Phone. Have it since 4 months now. Very fast, never hangs. EDGE is good. Overall really good phone for the money and camera is also decent. Only problem is that the rubber outline around the front of the phone tends to get loose after a while even though i have barely used the walkman play buttons but if you happen to open the phone alot with one finger the rubber tends to come out and you have to stick it again. Sony should take care of this as its part of the build quality. Overall 8 on 10 for this phone.

  • Its a good phone with all of important functionalities. But 710i have a small problem in its battery life. Its very low comparatively other SE phones. I used around 10 mobiles previously include SE phone. Truly I am telling u its a good and useful phone but only 4.5 hour battery Talk time. This phone has a perfect MP3 player, but has problem in zooming, movies & camera pictures, any one have the solution for this please give me. Can I have the full screen of the picture??

  • Better buy Z710 and pourchase a 512 or 1 Gb card. We can;t change the orange display(Z710 comes with blue one) teja - remove the back cover, and just push the memory-card, it will pop out fereshte - tranfer .jar file to your fone (vai BT or cable) and then select the file on fone ans click "install".

  • chulbuli: the camera quality is standard only and isn't shake heads as it is a walkman phone. but i think you should know this. W710's platform can improve the camera performance as if other SEs since K800 does also. it's by installing a java application specific for handling camera capabilities i.e. increasing settings for manual operation(ISO,Whitebalance,shutter,aperture,nois­e reduction and more) as the W-series cybershots from sony does, another is the long-long issue of the video recording resolution: this is the reason i can think why SE don't improve so much that department as the phone is already capable of improving itself. keep an eye on those java software sites and you'll find later a camera application for java phones. this is a feature unique only to SE and later will make big leaps towards better functionality.

  • the phone looks are gr8, something thatprompted me to buy this phone along with the sound quality makes it a gr8 phone. I am very disappointed by the camera quality. I thought 2.0 megapixels meant pictures which when transferred on PC will look good & clear. The picture quality is of VGA phones & very poor than w700i which should have been a much better purchase (less cost, more features) IF I had not been crazy for flip phone & sporty look.

  • Hi guys can anyone tell me the name of song of w710 video in this site

  • can some one gimme a honest opinion bout the sound quality of walkman series phones .... if u compare them with some stand alone mp3 players like i pod or zune ( less memory is not an issue for me ) and of course i will be using my own headphones sony wd200 or seinhisser ....

  • hi how install java file(*.jar) in this phone? thanks

  • hey everyone love sony ericsson the best phone company i had k750i for about a year and now switch to w710i. k750i is the best phone yet, but its not quadbend. i love my w710i also but camera not so great. other than that its great. people dont waste your money on other brands go with SE. always buy unlock. my next phone is p990i. this phone is the beast.

  • This phone has a perfect MP3 player , but has problem in zooming , movies & camera pictures , to view the camera pictures u have to rotate the picture to get full screen view , does any 1 have a solution for zooming problem or it is already the design of this phone!!!!

  • hey how can i get the memory chip out.i'm not knowing how to remove it out

  • Dear Team Please let me know if I can install Dictionary in Languages like English-German-English and/or English-Persian-English on this phone. If yes, Are you sure? I have decided t buy but I'm waiting for this answer. THANK YOU VERY MUCH

  • if any one has these problem and have found a way to fix them please let me know how to

  • Hi to all, i just got this phone bout 3wk ago and it is great the 2 things that i don't like about it is that it don't play music thru the bluetooth headset that i have . and after some call the phone re-boots. Outside of these 2 thing the W710 is the best thing since slice bread

  • the SE company must knew this problem in the near future, the rubber padding must be well done, its not the user who will be blame, its the manufacturer, they must ensure the durability of their phone specially this one with all the sports features..

  • Yes Ellen. The SE service centre says they can't do anything, since it is not a technical fault. So guys plz use this phone very carefully (sad to say a SPORTS oriented phone and such bad outer casing)

  • really sanket??!! its bad!!! i think the real problem in this phone is, the casing cannot be changed..how about the violet one, is the rubber can be loose too, how bad...

  • It's fantastic mobile gr8 sound, fast web-surfing. But mine one is just 3 months old, and the rubber padding has gone loose and it is coming off.

  • I'm going to get this phone. Can someone give me an overall review and whether or not this phone can instant message or take part in video calls? Thanks.

  • Hi all, I own this phone, and really its one of the best phones available in the sony walk man series. The orange color display cannot be changed. The only drawback is the sound as its not too loud as compared to the other Walkman sets.

  • Yes the orange display can change we can set different themes or skins to the SE phns. My sister is using this phn n i guess it rocks for the ladies

  • Hi to all..i don't own a sony ericsson but i think this one really get my attention..i want this phone and surely, i will buy it asap..i have one question though, is the orange in display color can be change?? please need your answer...thanks and happy day to all....from the philliphines!!!!

  • how much is the sms storage?? SE phones like z710 n w710,these have great features,but strangely the rating is not according to that.x700 has better rating than both, im not sure if its really better. wats the reason

  • Anyone know if this phone plays music louder and/or better without earphones then the Z710?

  • I Love this fone... The best fone that I have had... The functions are really easy to use, and has great colour screen. i have had a nokia 6230i and was a bit worried bout changing but I did and wish i changed sooner. this fone has everything from a calculator..to snooze on the alarm...its definatly a great buy.. (also brought from India u get free rbk running shoes..worth 4000 rupees...not bad!)

  • Is any techy able to answer ross fortune request as i too am a video fan & love to know if a java app exists to play video formats nad also how big and at what framerate,,why because still s/e are churning out qcif mobile (exept w900i,,p990i) & have heard that some mobiles can playback bigger resolution or better framerates for example my lobster 700tv will record qcif at 15 fps but will plat my d600 cif vids in mpeg4..SUper confused but maybe some mobiles can play bigger vids it would be a good idea to put this as a spec for e.g. video record qcik .3gp 15 fps but can play up to qvga 15fps etc

  • i jus wanna say one word for this se w710i b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l

  • Hi! Any help on the following issues will be greatly appreciated? 1.How do I make my w710 play videos in landscape format since it doesn't support that unlike other wseries and kseries sony ericsson phones like w550 ork750? 2. How do I play other video formats like avi,wmv, mpg, etc since I find it irritating to convert them into 3GP or MP4? Is there any other videoplayer,maybe in Java that couldlet me play all files and also allow landscape view? 3. Any websites where I can find usefull programs or goodies for sony ericsson phones. you can email me on [email protected] thanks ross fortune

  • Hi megabass means a music preset that comes only with sony ericsson walkman phones It gives a great effect when you put on your ear phones. It doesn't match for all songs though...... But it's rocking!!!

  • I THINK W300I is a better choice its ugly and bigger and sound is not as good as w300i it has better camera ............only

  • can anyone tell me how to disable operators name display on screen. it disturb my wallpaper, it bug me.

  • i would like to advice sony ericssion to make their cable earphone, usb cable,charger etc. to have a lock like samsung, and some other phones cause frequent change between charging, transfering data, and earphone cable can make the cable pin loose easily cause its hard to find original acessories to replace.

  • i have this phone for 4 months, the sound quality is just great except bulky earbud facing sideway. i don't need da sports applications, i hope they improve the camera instead. The battery life is just great, i listen all day n keeps on playing. I hope they make more flip phones

  • rubbish phone and ugly too doesnt do anything most other sonys do so whats the pointw300i does the same and is much cheaper the only difference is the camera who cares!!!

  • how loud is this phone?

  • Hey Terry, here is your answer! This phone has Hands free speaker and Headphones, you can listen music without Headphones. Hands free delivers great sound quality. Very sharp and crisp sound quality, hand free speaker is not stereo putput. For whome, who is asking about megabass, it is a sound which comes from Drum, Head phones produces Megabass sound quality but hans free speaker does not.

  • me going 2 buy it..very soon.............. but it is unavailable in market all over the world 4 few dayz............ and it cost all most 290 $

  • you can play with or without the headset

  • can somebody tell me whats megabass?

  • Does this phone have duall sterio speakers, or does it just play through the headphones?Can anyone say if it is clear music sound through the speaker or speakers on this phone plz.

  • i dont have this phone but i think this phone is cool.. he! he! he! i really luv sony phones.. they are all great. :)

  • this phone is great but i want se to make phone like this but with no sport applications! it costs more because of the sport applications

  • Man, your hands must be really big... or small! I can open, close and press the buttons with only one hand. I'm glad the w710i isn't thin, Just can't seem to adjust to those slim devices, texting is too hard on those.

  • Here is my Review for W710i: Small but Thick in size Difficult to open with one hand Outside buttons are not easy to access by one hand Outside screen is very useful to see SMS or battery Status Navigation key (Left �right-up-down) is hard to press Navigation response in the menu and one menu to other is good Numeric keys are easy to press and quite comfortable Network signal is not weak, at least good in my home Phone reception is good (Conversation quality) Music/Sound quality on hands free is very good and impressive Headphone (provided) is difficult to wear on the ears (construction wise is not a very good quality), however sound quality is great Phone construction is very good like other sonyericsson phones Many phone Accessories are provided with the set, such as headphones, USB cable, phone charger, audio connection to music system, 512 RAM and software. My Rating of this Phone is 8 out of 10. Rating is highly dependent on the price of the phone, means Value for money. Mazhar Hussain

  • REALLY GREAT PHONE! I'm not a fan of Sony phones at all ( usually they are: too small which causes software issues, and with a stupid keypad design+joystick) THIS ONE SEEMS TO BE DIFFERENT! -Great battery life -excellent music player with very important A2DP bluetooth profile! -Nice mature men's design! -Plus a phone afeter all. WHAT ELSE YOU CAN WISH?

  • wow, cool man ,this phone is amazing good.

  • my old phone (nokia 6670) got stolen and i got this phone afterwards. I LOVE IT! i was looking for a phone that can allow me to save a lot of MP3 songs. the sound quality is great! it's a small, functional phone. although i couldnt change its outer case, and it doesn't have a flash for the camera, its just perfect for me...

  • i wan to know weather when zoom in will it be clear as it had onli 2.5x

  • Pretty good phone. Feels a little heavier than the w300. I got this phone because of the 512mb stick and belt clip. I also got the 300 for my wife. Excellent sound. I have about 100 songs on it now, and could probably hold another 20 songs before upgrading to the 1gb stick. Headphones are a little funky, but allow you to use your own headphones anyway. Battery life is pretty good, similar to an Ipod. I recently took a plane trip, listened to the MP3 player for ~2 hours and played the games several times. Still had enough battery life to last until the next day. I also use this to synch with my Lotus Notes calendar and works pretty well. One thing I noticed was that this phone comes with USB cable and software to rip songs/synch with Notes. Other phones, you have to buy these separate. Overall this is a great phone, if you're looking for a music player and to add your Notes calendar.

  • 'Teclado digital', cara? LOL Don't be such a noob! The keypad is fine, trust me. By the way, what is your definition of 'digital keypad', anyway? :/

  • I'm just curious, I know a certain bluetooth frequency is needed to use bluetooth music headphones, does this phone broadcast that frequency? Similar to the FUSICK.

  • cooooooool phone....loooks niceeee

  • I like this phone. Is greeat. Cool. Very nice phone.

  • hey this phone is off tha edge its tha best phone eva i usally get a new phone afta every 2nd month but i havnt changed in bout 2 yrs

  • after reading all the opinions on this phone...i'm definately getting it! it looks so slick!

  • i have been lokking at the sony ericsson w710 for ages and just cant make my mind up on wich phone to get because i havenot had verry much experience what should i do?

  • I forgot to tell you something: When i get this phone it freezes A LOT since the first day!!(4 or 5 times a day), so i go to my phone company here in mexico, and after a week of fight with them, they change me the phone. My new w710 works great, i have it for almost 2 months and everything is fine. So, if your phone freezes change it NOW!!

  • HOPE I HELP YOU: For those who are undecided between w810 a w710 (Like I was), let me tell something: If you use a walkman a lot, and you use just a little the camera(like me) i recomend this phone. If you use the camera and dont use the walkman, get w810. W810: -Got Autofocus, flash, light (but brick design.. LOL). W710: -Better design, external Walkman Buttons. PLUS: I walk every night with my pregnant wife, so we can count the steps with the fitness aplication... that cool!! (I miss the light from my old w800i, but this phone dont freeze like the w800i) did).

  • hi sylvia. the z610i is a lovely mobile but it does scratch easy cause i always take care of mine but it still scratched after only 4 weeks, also if you are not looking at your phone when it rings you will miss who is calling, by the time you open it up you will not have enough time to see who it is before it goes to voicemail cause it only rings for 20 seconds before voicemail. the only difference with the w710i & z710i is the walkman & fitness applications & that you get a larger memory card in the w710i.

  • you can use your calendar to alert you on a birthday!!!

  • Bought this phone 3 days ago. Everything's great with it - a lot of functions, 512 MB memory card etc. It can also be used as a remote control for computers with Blutooth. The camera makes really good photos in daytime and with sufficient light. Night mode is not so good. The only weak thing on this phone is the battery. After the first 12 h charge (old-school Ni-MH habits, what can I say) the battery lasted less than 24h and I didn't even do much with it. Some people say it will be better after a few weeks of usage and 4-5 full chargings. I hope I don't have to be dissappointed in the Li-Pol battery, since so far I've seen videos of them exploding while charging :) Also, I miss thiss birthday reminder my Nokia had. But that's not much of a loss. I haven't tried the fitness apps and other functions yet, but I'm sure that they will be also good. Oh yeah, for the people who don't like the headphones, guess what - you can use your own ones - the headphone part can be removed from the hands free set. I'm definately staying with this phone, because I don't want to go back to Nokia 6100 which I had before :(

  • To: Julie (comment posted date @ 15/01/07) Hi.... I've been read ur comment and noticed that currently u're using different type of SE hp. I would like check with u for Z610 and W710 which 1 is better ? cuz now i'm still decide whether to buy Z610 or W710 .... could u gimme some idea or suggestion abt both hp .... TQ ^O^

  • i brought mine in purple & they also do grey of www.mphones.co.uk & they post to any country, they have stock & there are a good price

  • this is a walkman phone so if you like listening to music go for this & not the z710 cause that is not as good at playing the music

  • Pls help, I already have Nokia 3250 and want this phone! Is the speaker really good because 3250 has too much treble (very sharp) and if u increase the bass in 3rd party mp3 players it sounds like it's going to break, lots of cracks in RAP music with lots drum beats. Is the speakers really good ? Is this phone much better than the 3250 ? Please help me I want to change my phone for my BDay which is couple days from now. Should I get the Z710 or this ? I don't exercise much :p

  • Ok so ive been goin to pure mobile and hi-mobile waiting for them to restock on this phone....later to find out thats this phone has been discontinued

  • the w710i comes with a 512mb memory card where as the z710i comes with a 64mb memory card!!!

  • yes its the same size & weight, the outside is just a little bit different in design but the buttons are the exact same. the only difference with the specs of the w710i & the z710i is that the w710i has a walkman & a fitness menu thats all!!!!!!!!!

  • So.. this is the samething as z710...the designs, wieght, bands except is has a bit more feutures... Niiice... may be i should get myself one...

  • i am always changing my phones to find 1 i like, in the last 8 weeks i have had w850i, z610i my husband has the z710i & i now have this the w710i, i am very pleased with this phone. good battery life 3-4 days, ringing tone is more than loud enough to hear, you can use your own mp3 tunes as ringing or message alerts, its works very quickly with a 1gb memory card, i love the little lock key on the out side that can be used when the phone is shut to prevent knocking the keys on, you can play the music & leave it playing even when using the other fuctions of phone even shutting the phone will not stop the music playing until you stop it by either going to walkman menu or pressing the outside key when shut, i am very pleased. i would love a sony ericsson phone with a colour outside screen on the flips & a better camera with flash & zoom but i guess we can't have everything!!!!!!!!!!

  • never mind the ? it does work wit t-mobile i have a rokr e2 but im starting 2 like this phone should i get it????

  • the phone comes with: usb, heasdset, charger, belt clip, wrist strap(2)cd rom

  • its sound is better than w550 or not ? hows its headphones/earphones ? plz reply

  • i always fully charge my new battery 3 times & run out fully the 3 times, my battery last about 3 days.

  • i have a 1gb memory card & its fast to use with no problems.

  • only thing you cant zoom in with the camera, gives you options on the quality picture, from VGA,1MP,2MP, video you can record more then 1minute, the speakers on the phone is loud, and he headset also pretty great, havent got any problems since i got it :)

  • Very cool, might change my K750 to this later, camera quality is great, only lacks macro mode and autofocus. flash? why need for such LED-type one. but MXE-60 xenon flash. it's better in the future i hope i can see W720/750 with better performance and features=D

  • can anyone tell that hows the sound of w710 in earphones and also on its speakers.and what things come with this phone when we buy it.i mean earphone and cable and anything more???? plz reply.

  • hi guys i will ask if some body knows if this MOB take 1G and work normally with it! And i will ask that in video player there is fullscreen but and there are normal and auto fit but all the three are the same in my w710! do you have the same problems???! please answer!

  • I want to ask if anyone encountered the same problem as me, u know how the outer buttons have this rubber thing around them? Well guess wt? Mine just came off!!!!!!!!!!! I dont understand why or how!!!! any1 havig this problm?

  • i am unable to set 'contact ringtone' though it appears a set, i only get default ringtone, please help

  • Great phone, however there are these flaws: low speaker volume; powers up & down excrutiatingly slow; radio has a lot of static compared to W600i; no auto-focus in the camera; no flashlight. Apart from that, the phone is well-designed and has superb reception in most places. I think Sony should have implemented a fusion of W600i (Has the loudest speaker and best radio clarity/MP3) and w710i in one body. And, yes, you can set any MP3 song, regardless of its size as a ringtone.

  • is it possible for mp3 songs to be used as ringtones?

  • okay so i was wondering if it were possible to take a picture without having to flip the phone up? please respond; thanks

  • is the best phone for my in same w810 is very faster and stable my cote is a great 10

  • i have this mobile for like 4 months and i should say that everything in this mobile is good and even best... but it has one problem and that's the CAMERA it doesn't have auto focus so pictures in close shots are blurred but in landscape shots it works pretty likeother auto focus phones. well the sound quality is very good like you see it's 72 channel polyphonic which is more than W810. It has a 512MB Memory and i bought it 398.53 $

  • Best phone. Its motion sensors are great. its has usb internet so you don't need to buy a bluetooth dongle to browse on your pc

  • hi , please tell me about the volume music and support Ram.(internal or external)

  • hi , please tell me about the volume music and support Ram.(internal or external)

  • Please check if this game mario all star work on your phone. please download it from here if u dont have it. Thank you.

  • I've had the w810i since it first came out and I haven't had a single problem with it. It never freezes on me and is actually the best phone I have ever owned. I'd recommend it (as I do every day to my customers) and wouldn't give it another thought.

  • 4li, it is good for you: cooks, cleans the house and takes you on vacation (grin)

  • hi , i want to buy W710 soon but i have some questions before that if answer me it's good for me, how much u can increase the memory & how much is it in us dollar ? tanx

  • W810i is a bad idea: Drops calls, freeze's up everyday at least 2 times, earpiece volume is very low but very clear, loudspeaker volume is sad and voice quality is very poor, persons voice is garbled. Walkman mp3's are VERY impressive thru the same loudspeaker. Songs are loud, clear and alive. I just dont understand why that same loudspeaker is LOUD when it comes to the walkman feature, but when its used to make a cellular call, the loudspeaker is worthless. Other than that, no BT file transfer limit, plays mp4's with ease, u can rewind / ff and do slow motion on mp4's. User interface is second best that i have seen, Nokia is best IMO, but it works.

  • is the voting results here reliable? because i see here that results for W710 are not that high... also, im trying to buy a new phone, i am actually confused, if I'll choose this over W810.. can anybody help me about this dilemma?

  • to KIMZ: Asking other people's opinion will only cloud your thought. Before, I used to do that. But now, I decide on my own for I end up with a bad decision. What I do is, I print the summary features of the phones (you can see that in Sony Ericsson official website) i'm choosing from & compare each features. I concider 3 important things: what i NEED, WANT and ofcourse, what I can AFFORD. As for the W800, I used to own one and it's quite a good phone. I don't have complains, actually, I loved it. I just had to sold it because my cute 2-year old then smashed it 3x & it broke. Pretty tough phone though...LOL! Good luck on your hunting....

  • T-T sob sob, so hard to make decisions some ppl say w800 n some say w710i. who should i trust? can someone help me bfor i get too much stress!!!!!(this is a true story)

  • Karthick, Thank you for your opinion on the keys :) I'm a heavy texter, so it really matters. I've decided to buy this phone.

  • please dont disconnect the usb cable when u r using it with ur pc,its a small tip.the cell might hang.......overall a cool phone...

  • This phone is outstanding. It should deserve atleast 8.3(in gsmarena). It has superb sound clarity,better than 550i.Key is soft but appears stiff when you first use it. After some few weeks u wont recognise the stiffness.USB connections are great(works only when u install all the softwares provided in the original se CD).Brilliant se.Fittness is great. Perhaps the first phone with this option. cheaper than 810i and800i

  • i have bought this fone two weeks back.. i was initially verry upset over buyin this fone,,, becos i was disappointeed wid the sound output and the camera quality(in low light)....one more big back drop is tht its not openin in phone mode and doesn't detect my phone memory.. i cant forward the video playback...horizontal viewin is not possible but thn i came over tht feelin as this phone makes a statement... looks gud.. feels gud .. takes awesome pics in sunlight ... fitness application is gud .. keypad is amazing.. sms freaks wud simply love it... i'm really likin the external dedicated music buttons.... its a gud fone to have... but every fone has backdrops ....

  • awesome i`m the first one posted here don`t i deserve a free mobile :(

  • I just got this phone about 2 weeks back.. so far it's been really reliable and houses all the features i wanted in a phone. There are a few little quirks that aren't too nice like no flash n you can only take pictures by opening up the flip so self portraits can't be taken properly and you can't off the shutter sound.. and a few lil stuff here n there but it's nothing one can't live with. :) Been changing phones for the past 5 years and the longest i've kept a phone is 6 months. But i think this time i've found a keeper. Thanks SE :)

  • How are the keys on this phone? Are they stiff or more on the soft side? I loved my k700 but the plasticky clik-clik while texting used to make me go crazy.

  • yea da camera is 2 meg pixel , but i dont see any auto focus in it like da good ol k750

  • can we store videos n play it on this phone?

  • as wel shaun hre the brther of drt vder dis is my fon besides of the motorola one dis fon is great it hs a 2mp cmra and it was great!!

  • to WirelessWiz: I've got a Samsung D600 and yes, I use my complete mp3 songs as ringtones and alarm. I'm really interested in getting this SE, just haven't seen it in the shops :(

  • Just bought this phone blindly, without having seen it, used it or even felt it. Its quite a good piece, it has all the features you would want ideally, only thing not so good about it is the built quality and the feel of the quality of the product plastic. It feels too light and too good to house so many features. Basically its a good affordable cell that embodies most of the functions one would want to have!

  • Hi, I want to know how to download language in sony ericson W710i, I want to download Russian language in my cel phone. Kindly give me suggestions . Thanks

  • can anyone attach quick office softwaore to me - i am ms.shashi [email protected]

  • Bought this phone 10 days ago. Design is excellent but I notice few problems : 1 Step counter sometimes counts even when travelling in vehicle. 2 Camera doesnt look like 2MP(compared to w810 i) 3 Cannot store recent calls(missed, received or dialled) 4 When connected to PC via usb, it doesnt recognize in "phone mode" .

  • good

  • isit louder then w550i? >

  • i wanna ask dat is there any player for this phone which supports smartmovie files.if it is then paleese tell me its urgent.

  • THIS IS MY PERSONAL ADVISE FOR THEM WHO WANTS TO BUY A NEW CELL....... Oh Yeahhh... What A Cooool Great Walkman Yaar... Friends I Was Planning To Buy A New Cell Before 6-7 Months, But When I'd Seen This Cell On GSM I Was Eagarly Waiting For This One. B'coz of only and only this cell I'd Delayed My Idea About Getting New Cell, B'coz This Was My Last Chanse To Get A New One... I Was Having Optins For Nokia 5200, N91, D600, 3250... But I Wanted A Good Music And A Camera... So, Finally Dis Phone Launched To Market And I Rush To D Mobile Shop & I Bought This One... Ohh... Wat A Great Features Yarr.... Really A Coll Phone To Hang On With... 1) Music = Don't Ask yarr... It's A Walkman 2) Camera= Outstaning 2MP Result 3) Fitness= Application Of Fitness Oh.. Mindbloing 4) Look= Maachis Yaar 5) Perfomance, Style And Features So For What You Are Waiting For... Go & Get It... I'm Very Happy After Getting Dis One. Are You?

  • Very nice design and good performance and Tech, this one is my favorite.

  • All SE phones have yet another great advantage: you can set any one of the MP3 songs downloaded to your phone as a true ringtone. And that's regardless of its size. Of course the default ringing is 30 secs but the key is: you needn't trim the MP3 to the minimum to set it as ringtone. Try that with Samsung or Nokia, it won'y work.

  • is it possible 2 watch videos in full screen (horizontal) mode

  • any one tell me wat is push to talk?

  • Just got this phone.Its design is awesome.But its mp3 player dissapointed me.. First of all,the quality of default headset is not that good like hpm-70.And,when i plugged hpm-70 in it,that too dissapointed me coz i found loudness of this phone low.Apart from that,the phone is good.But I shall go back for w800,it rocks...

  • i cant switch stations through the headset button ,when i am using FM. Is there any setting for this or is it that way :-( i believe there is some setting to be done bcoz nokia has that feature any can help plzzz .... i get frustrated when i am on my bike and cant switch FM stations from the headset button.i have to stop my bike and make the switch arrrrrhhhhhh help plzz

  • you can use the zoom in photo mode when the resolution is modified

  • I don't see no push-to-talk feature also....It doesn't say on the manual and I can't find it either. Anyone kind soul care to help...?

  • I just have one qualm....I can't zoom when in photo mode, but can zoom only in video mode....Anyone having the same problem?

  • i also face the same problem (blank screen when i download the tracks from my pc)but its with W300............please help me out

  • how loud is this phone?

  • I think I would buy this phone.

  • se have just add sport in z710i n made z710i poor looking

  • First day with the w710... it have a f#ck blank screen!!!... i have a very bad luck or what??? anyone else with the same situation??

  • I was undecided between w810 and k790, i finally decide to buy w710, because my priority is the Walkman, not the camera, and i dont like k790 design (like a brick.. LOL) w710 PROS: 1) Walkman exterior buttons 2) Transfer mp3 is great (dont fail like w800) 3) Design rules! w710 CONTRAS: 1) Camera without auto Focus?? 2) No light!!

  • aw... it has no 3G? then obviously it has no video call... too bad... Sigh.... Better buy myself the W850 then.. I really love the design of this though...

  • has this got a lfash cos i think its really nice hpone but if its no flash its no good to me, i also like the w850 which is better

  • Hi , Can anybody tell me wats the diff with W710 n Z710

  • well i think z710i looks better than w710i black fone............ very nice...... well i noticed z710i is a bit louder than w710i thats crazy....

  • I was stuck b/w W810i & W710i. Finally I bought W710i. I Think its the bst phone in the groove. Various facilities in just one phone and at a low price. wat more can u say ! ! !

  • er....tis fon is nice i guess. but... w810 and tis ? which one better =.=

  • where's the review for this phone?

  • ei..can someone tell me, how's the quality of the camera in this phone? is it great? coz im planning 2 buy this...thnks!

  • Dear ruizgar, if it is true that you are the creater of this fone you could of done much, much better. The camera could be like the w810 with Autofocus and flash and it could be like 2 pm not vga. The outer screen could have more than 2 colors. The screen could have much more pixels (more than 176x144). Last, the opening mechanism could nit be soooooo hard to use and poen.

  • Does this phone have a low battery tone that always beeps when its low on battery? or does it beep every few mins or does it just show a pic of a low battery on the display?

  • i just wanted to know about changing to this phone from sony ericssons k750i...is it worth it?

  • I got this phone a week back, upgrade from my Samsung X600.. And I LOVE it!! I was also stuck between w810 and w710, but I decided on w710 finally. The volume on the phone is more than sufficient. music quality everybody would know about; its fantastic (sony walkman after all).. even radio reception is good. Camera is not that great though; w810 has a far better camera. I read somewhere that SE purposely removed Autofocus from the W710 and kept it in the w810, for some reason or the other.. the step count keeps counting too many steps, and also it counts steps while I'm on my bike; but then I guess the jerks are sensed by motion sensor as steps so no complaints. Distance is totally wrong, but then I haven't calibrated the stride length; so once I do that it should be fine. I think it looks simply gorgeous. I would definitely recommend this phone

  • tis phone rox!! veri gd.. sound quality also veri gd.. overall: excellent recommend to all

  • i believe this phone is great.designed for active lifestyle. it doesn't have built-in flash light. but u can attached a flash light gadget whic is called "flash mxe60" and i believed the price of that is aroung 1800php in any store of the SE.

  • It's a beautiful phone. Design and keypad layout is great. The purple version is gorgeous. It has loads of fantastic features by the look of it. Can't go wrong with this phone.

  • I've gotten this fone for 2 weeks, so far the features are great but the talk time seems less impressive than advertised. There's something weird about the step counter & according to SE Hotline, it's supposed to count as u walk, but mine seems to jump 30-50 steps each time after a certain interval rather than gradually. Have called SE tech Hotline (which I was rather disappointed to realise their service attitude is less than satisfactory) but it's been almost 2 wks & they've yet to reply me.

  • Mosoa! This mobile doesnt have flash light.

  • Does this phone have flash flight? Can I use MP3 as sms alert? my W810 that I have now can use MP3 as sms alert. Al so will be nive if you guys can tell me if it has flash light. I like this phone alot. SE rules!

  • If you think the phone is not good enough for your liking , don't get it. The design of phones is all subject to each and everyone's opinion. Personally I find this phone a stunning phone to begin with, the phone is featured packed similar with W810i and W850i but there is one feature that both mentioned phones does not have and that is the motion sensor for fitness . If you are the sort that does exercise , this phone is for you. As for the loudness of the speaker, it's loud enough for my liking. How loud do you want your phone to be? So for some of you guys, please go try out the phone , don't spread rubbish if you dont know anything about this phone.

  • APPEAL TO ALL: hi please help i only have one chance of buying a cellphone this holiday season am stuck bet w810 and w710 like features of w810 better than w710 but w810 is about 9 months old and w710 2 months 710 has bluetooth stereo also whwn closed outer butttons help control mp3 player and it feels like a normail mp3 player but w810 has better quality headphones and also jack to use our own cost is nearly same for bth my priority is good mp3 like a standlonemp3 player both are good which is confusing don't you think so please HELP ALL wOUld greaktly appreciate THANKYOU!

  • The design isnt as nice as it looks in the picture... but still very nice-looking phone. the sound quality is nice with earphones because of the mega bass maybe.. but the max volume is just not strong enough.. 1 strange thing... issit all SE phones can only zoom in low quality/VGA mode?

  • Should I get this phone? Everyone thinks its beautiful and great but I don't think it is that good. Can anybody actually tell me if he/she loves the phone or not because I am not very convinced with it. Thanks, Reznicek

  • please review this phone...

  • The movie taken with this phone are small and choppy. Good for saying "I was THERE" but not fun to watch. the phone is branded both as an ericsson and a walkman. It's been reviewed for good sound and the external mp3 buttons on the front is nice.

  • Vio, that's no choice at all. w710 definately

  • Just gotton my W710i, this is one of the most beautiful clamshell phones created by SE. I loev it , keypad looks great and it's easy to navigate, sms ..etc No issue at all. The only thing that is bugging me is the workmanship of the phone, the back cover is hard to take out and put in. Other then that, this is a great phone especially for those who does exercises regularly.

  • Ladies and gentlemen this one s a beauty .. From what i see the only draw back can be da keypad ! Owners ? Is it comfy enough ? Not for playin games i guess .. If this baby comes for around 17K Rs .. Am gettin it .. Dun you guys fink dat da w950 is over priced considerin it has no cam ?

  • HI, there is MEGABASS,.. bone: both walkmans were the same in sound quality,..

I got the nokia HS-12W: Wireless Stereo Headset and work fine when you playing your music but it doesn't work with the fm radio because it's need the antena (the regular wire stereo headset that come with it)

  • pls tell me.......... can I increase the ext-memory of w710i up to 4GB PLS HELP ME.......

  • Hello,i am the man who made this phone at S.Alam Mys.this phone is 2.5G.made from the best equipment that we have..including accelerometer this phone will become first in phone history that can meas your body condition..so for me this phone is better than w810i 0r w900 but for sound this phone totally cannot beat w600/w550.for camera its good enough come 2.0Mp.so if you buy it you will never upset cause our sound and camera standart is very tight following SE standart.

  • Does this phone have speakers like W700? Cuz it really cool to have speakers on a cellphone

  • This phone does NOT have A2DP profile nor PTT. It was a typo on the SE website.

  • i have just got this phone today and i love it, there is nothing bad about it and the design is really nice

  • i already have w810, but i want to change my phone, i know w810 it has a better camera, but i dont really use it. i use the camera when i see i really hot chic,, haha,, anyway i was wondering about this w710 or w850 (even this w850 has umts), but w710 its quadband,, please help me out, i need a good answear..

  • Hi, Anyone know if the screen quality is good? Can it compare with the k800i screen or is it like the w810i? Thanks

  • Has anyone else had problems with this phone just switching off when it has been fully charged

  • heyy!! Does anyone knw if both of the clamshells, the white and the purple, are given with the phone?

  • @RevRiley: If you want a decent phone with good MP camera and music capabilities, I'd strongly recommend the W810i. I have one and it is AMAZING! Or if price is a factor you could try getting a W800i. I heard they're stopping production of it though, cuz the W810i will take it's place?

  • Does anyone know what VERSION PTT comes with this phone..?? And does it play mp4's like the W810i..??

  • What are other good music phones with MP camera/w flash?

  • Thanks guys. Is it better to have flash and auto focus?

  • W712a is an M3 rated HAC (Hearing Aid Compatible) mobile phone with reduced RF interfering emissions.

  • REVRILEY this is your answer. The W710i is a walkman phone (its speciality is music)This phone has a better MP3 player than the Z710.

  • Can anyone please give detailed list about the W710i's good features & limitations

  • its available @ wirelessimports.com

  • the difference between the w710 and the z710 is that the w710 has the motion sensor and the fitness application and the casing is different. z710 is more walkman oriented.

  • everybody this phone now Available go an get this phone is very very nice good Features

  • @ berdy you can still take pictures witout autofocus because all camera phones without autofocus has fixed focus. the problem with fixed focus is that it has a sweet spot which means that at a certain point or distance the picture might be blurry than normal

  • I think it's already available. Same specifications as the w810 but the camera has not autofocus. Anyone knows how can you take pictures without autofocus?

  • I just checked the SE USA website, and they have a link underneath the W710 for a phone called the W712, what is this? I tried doing a comparison with the W710 and W712, but it looks like all the information hasn't been inputted for the W712; if it is correct, it means the W712 is very low end.

  • To einlenie. It would probably cost 3 or 4 times more if it comes out in the market here in the Philippines. Five thousand pesos would only get you a low-end range of phones.

  • In regard to Hamed's question of the availability of fitness application,so far,there's only one for which offer this..and its out..the Nokia 5500..which not only have this fitness application,but it includes with some fats-burning rate..or calorie-meter..which informs you the amount of calorie burn during your workout.its dust and scratch resistent,2.0MP...but given its design,i would advise you to opt for the W710i=)..the market price for the 5500 i guess its around 350usd?hope the w710i would be cheaper.

  • I have the W300i. I am waiting for this one too. Anyone know when it'll be available? What the differece withe Z710 and this one?

  • cool

  • You know, I don't know why don't they just a make that has it all, it will make choosing a phone much more easier! My perfect phone would do it all, it would have the following: 5 MP camera with flash. MP3 player with stereo sound. can be carried easily when jogging. WLAN big screen for web browsing. has a touch screen. digital diary with office functions. currently there is no such phone.

  • Does anybody know if there are any other phones with athelete functions like this? I am doing a comparison between this phone and if exists, any other phone with athelete functions, if there are no other phones with such functions, then this phone will be my clear choice.

  • i have no arms or legs and i still love this phone :D

  • Hi Guys... i already have a se w500i & w800i. both phones r great. it got all the features wat u require in a phone. no complains at all. can anyone pls tell me that when this phone gonna come to Dubai????? i ll be the first person to buy it. thanx

  • Acording to sony's site this phone is now out in the USA and a few other locations.

  • Its a love at first sight sort of a handset, this handset has got MP, EDGE, BT, 2MP camera and all at the TOP is 10hrs. of battery time, I ma just wating for this to come and I will be the first one to buy. Truly HOT! HOT! HOT!...

  • Hi guys! I wanna say that this handset seems to be one of the best clamshells SE has ever made..if not the best! :) and I think I've read something about this motion sensor somewhere..I guess it's for measuring the distance you make while walking or something like that..I hope I'm right! :)

  • I have an old T630 and I'm thinking of changing it for something new. Maybe in spring or in summer. I was thinking about W300i but this one looks better as it has better display and camera and there's bigger memory card included. Wondering when it's gonna be out and what the price's gonna be...

  • This baby is amazingly good looking mobile phone... everything about it's design is near perfection, perfect for sport lovers for having a good music player and a sporty design...

  • I wonder if this phone plays mp4's.. like the W810i does...

  • it's a good phone with more feature and you'll enjoy if buy this phone !!!

  • good day, i just want to make an opinion about the mega pixles suppose to be like 3mg and the shared memory to be like 256mb because its a walkman phone thanks. bye

  • eelllooooo everyone...i was just wondering if anyone could be so kind to please tell me if this phone is coming to australia??..i would realy appreciate it if someone could be so kind to answer...i best be off...bye!!

  • i think its a very interesting phone, why? because ist smart and beautiful, i wanna buy one when it arrive to mexico, im waiting for it

  • W710i looks like Z710i just like W300 looked like Z530

  • Wow...cool phone..I like the this phone, what is the price??

  • when? hope soon. how much? hope not too pricey.

  • Hey Wow the cell phone actually looks dammn rocking!! Anyways I currently own a Moto Razr V3i and must say its a CHICK PIECE!!! It makes head turn!!!Its got the style and curtting edge design out of the world...Anyways is Sony Ericsson W710 relsing in INDIA ? Plzz get back to me soon plzz I am really impressed with SE attempt to mke good-lookin phones!!!!Whateve but MOTOROLA RAZR ROCKs!!!

  • guyz..is this fone available in the Philippines? pls guyz tell me.... tnx a lot!!!!

  • i cant wait for this phone to come to da stores..... i must have it now!!! its so cool!

  • No matter what phone comes out, someone somewhere will have some complaints about it and thats the bottom line. There is no such thing as a perfect phone. The SE W810i was near perfection but not quite. But definitly the best phone yet in my opinion. Too bad it drops calls every once in a while but its a great phone. When SE or any other manufacterer makes a phone they will leave out certain features from certain phones on purpose, and put these features on this phone for absolute no reason at all when that phone should have had those features to begin with. Its a game that corporate america plays with us. Perfect example is the Nokia 6131 and 6136. If some of u guys are smart enough to figure those 2 out, then u will understand what i mean by idiot manufacterers putting the right features in the wrong phone and vise versa. And u wonder why Asia / Europe get the better phones... And why Cingular decided to remove the 1900 band so that we cant use tri-band 1900 phones... Its all about money they make from us

  • Hope that SE will Bring back the amazing features like: -Autofocus/even macro(not only in Cybershot anymore) -Flash -Video recording Size must now be increased. at least QVGA as Standard -Radio for all standard SE phones -Megabass Feature(not only in Walkman phones) -Memory Stick Pro Duo Card(not the expensive Micro... and SE please bring back the -bluetooth car,.. -the Game PAD -and add more and more accesories please,.. know SE could do this please everyone loves this features no matter the price is...

  • the only thing missing in this mobile is the flash. there should be a flash in this mobile n may be a stronger battery.,...

  • This phone just might have a flash - it could be that white circle round the camera, LG F2400 has one exacly like that. Generaly speaking the phone rocks, I love where SE placed the PLAY/STOP/FF/FB buttons!Does it tell u how much u're going if u're in a car?

  • w300 is available in the philippines. please check with aerophone...

  • this phone is fantastic??? but i think it will be released soon but in a higher price... huhuhu i wish w300 is available in the philippines!!!

  • I think SE will its customer W series to buy extra flash.

  • does this phone need to wait awhile when u r takin a foto? like nokia 3230?

  • I don't know but probably before december. Come on S.E.! Put a flash on this camera and then i'll buy it. it's not too late! It's perfect other then that.

  • I agree with that last comment. This phone isn't even out yet and theres plenty of phones out now better then it with the features mentioned below. Why remove them from a newer model. Doesn't make sense. Whats the point of having a 2MP camera with no flash or autofocus. What use is it? This is a very disapointing model.

  • aw actually on second though i probably won't get it, it doesn't have a flash. why doesn't it have a flash that sucks. so much for a good flip phones.

  • WOW! i am so getting this phone for christmas, finally a S.E. phone that has great features AND looks good! i was going to get the W800i but it's ugly looking so i didn't. i'm glad i didn't, i would have kicked myself after seeing this. Flip phones are just great and it has a memory card slot!

  • do this phone has a better and louder sound than w700 and w550

  • Its not releasead but its just announced and also it will cum soon

  • i can hardly wait until this gadget will be mine.

  • ey y'all! wassup? man i've been looking at this fone for aaages.. i luv dis fone! like i said b4.. i hav d w810 and its great but i luv flip fones so im looking to get this one.. BUT... it says it'll be released in May.. but sounds like no one here has it yet.. Hmm.. ? I wonder whats happening or are they even releasing this in Australia? Please if anyone already has this.. share ur views! Alright i'm out.. have fun!!!

  • @swappy if u want a better phone then the k750...then go for the w850 or w900

  • yeah W710 has no autofocus, no flash, the handsfree r not 4m the W series, cam is not protectd. soi m goin 4 k790i or k800i. i heard rumors abt 30 fps in k790i. is it so ??

  • Hey Swappy K750 has an autofocus camera & W710 has simple 2 mp camera

  • hey i currently hav my k750i n i was searchin 4 a better phone then that 1 with W series. But i think this is the 1 i was searchin for. The only bad thing is the cam is not protectd. ne 1 if knows ne disadvantage of this phone plzzzz plzzz say it. I m in a hurry to grab this phone.

  • and as i was saying why do you need a 3.2 ,5mp.... camera on a phone ? are you a photographer? get yourself a 8mp camera, let's not forget the purpose of a phone: light, small , easy to handle ; with my w800i a can make photos better than most film based cameras (and they ar very clear to my surprise), i can not compare with to a purpose bilt camera it's a PHONE, let's not forget you stil need it to fit in your pocket don't you? Besides this phone (W710i) has more +es than you could ever want or could use, and best of all IT HAS STILE IT LOOKS GREAT it's something different fron nokia or samsung they are BORRRRING black grey black and so on i like my phones to have "an expresion" to say something Nokia=stiff, heavy Samsung=the same etc Sony-Ericsson=joy , satisfaction And with this i come to an end!

  • ok firs of all it has auto focus, because te camera and software are the same (mostly) as w800 or w700, better yet i have had all the w series phones up till now and i can tell you there has been a significant improval at each new arrival, as for a 3.2 megap camera ...... well it would be nice but the phone would be much more heavy and bigger let's not forget XCute phones big camera big weight and

  • before i was using nokia but now i like sony ericsson more because first, all the option that we like and the price not come down fast as nokia is happen the design more better than nokia and pleave me the software is more better than nokia and the other phone. i have my w550i more than 5 month and till now i dont have any problem

  • can you use your own headset?

  • i'm looking for the perfect phone and haven't found it yet. sony had the best complete phones it think (good camera music player radia...). i like complete phones of nokia but n93 is so heavy. they are always too big nokia phones. i prefer a clamshell (is this the right word?) like this phone. i also like w800 but i think it's an ugly phone (the 'white' is like yellow). i'm afraid it's going to be the same with this phone. sony ericsson hasn't the most beautiful phones

  • is it true that the camera is not as good as k750 and w800? no auto focus? does this effect the quality much? and the camera isn't protected...

  • Cool Design !! hope to see 3.2 Mp in W series !!

  • For the opion before this one. I challenge you to find a more reliable brand than Sony Ericsson. Being a retailer we see phones come back all the time. Out of every phone that comes back faulty, around 3% of them are Sony Ericsson. Believe it or not the most unreliable brand at the moment would be Nokia. Please email me if you find anything better.

  • it has a converter that comes with it. You attach it to the phone and then you can use 3.5 headphones of any kind. I'm using a w700 as a stop gap til this excellent phone comes out. SE is fast and Furious. The best.

  • @ no name You said that all SE phones are slow. Have you tried all of SE phones? You cannot judge if you only find slow in some of them. If you have tried 100% every type than you can say that. You must be gentle,please give your identity.

  • Walkman fone....audio-centric market.....young people who want choices.....and of course, no 3.5mm jack (throw arms in the air)

  • man,.. are you talking of motorola? or siemens? their low-end phones are of a crap sluglish SE camera phones since k700 are damn fast in texting and surfing,.. or you are expecting for an edge which is present in NOKIA phones,.. please be careful saying that coz most of the users of it speaks that SE has better messaging functions even no OS and it has faster response in comparison to most mobiles,.. Grrrr!

  • sony ericsson phones is a crap... texting is 2 slow... surfing the phone too slow... taking a pic still too slow... evrything is slow wen it says its a SONY ERICSSON

  • Looks Sporty..... Hope to own it but there's no idea when it is available & how much it will cost in RM

  • erm.. juz use additional eq like flash light.. thats can complete this w710 specifications.. ^^

  • What I like about the SE phones is its large internal memory, in order to can use any file to determinated apps. I don't know what happen with this phone... a poor memory for me. But well... I want this one.

  • YES!!!!!!!!! Sony Ericsson phones do have conference facility, i use a SE J300i, it has a conference facility n all other phones too..

  • does sony ericsson fones have confrence??

  • If it had the xenon flash option similar to that of k800 i would have given this phone a 10 out of 10 rating. i liked it's external music buttons.I was always hoping for a flip phone to have these features like 1)2 mega pixel camera 2)external memory card slot 3)flash 4)dedicated music player 5)wi-fi 6)fast bluetooth transfer SE w710 is a good attempt to finding a perfect phone but at this time i think the epitome of the mobile is only NOKIA N93.

  • why you need shock resistance, for something with no moving parts????

  • i just found the explanation on motion sensor in "The device is armed with motion sensor, allowing it to calculate number of steps you made during the current session. This innovative gadget has the following to offer you: two modes (Walking and Running), adjustable values of distance, time, upper and lower bounds of speed." interesting feature. hopefully they'll release it soon.

  • Just because it has a few rubber parts doesnt make a unit a "sport" phone. This does not even have improved resistance to shock, dust and splashes. The only thing good about this is the Walkman brand. I say Siemens is still the best at making rugged phones. If SE wants to compete in this category, they ought to do more. They once were good at making rugged phones, i dont know why they stopped.

  • i got the w800 straight away when it came out... i have it for bout 10mnths now and so far it's still good. the quality and specs r gud and similar to dis one.. i like the flip fones so im thinking of getting this one...ut is true there's no flash? cuz the w800 has a pretty bright flash.. i didnt like the buttons bcuz it's faded and the scroll here is much better than the joystick.. hope d price is around the same.. sony ericsson rocks!! =) battery life lasts me for upto 3days and the walkman is great w/ 512 memory card... easy to pop songs in thru a memory card reader!!! =)

  • A 2mp camera without flash?

  • rating -50

  • I'd stick with my W800

  • pls have something like this in PINK. please please please. it's for my sister. oh please.

  • looks great. SE phones are brill ive never had asoftware fault yet and thats going back to the t39. theese phones just keep getting better

  • WOW...EXCELLENT....Very Stylish and sporty phone..my next phone.....i dunno how people judge this phone..poor them! walkman series is perfect mp3 player. the most amazing headset and powerful battery. so...who's stupid now?

  • Does the camera comes with auto-focus ?

  • this phone is the best and the most beautiful ericsson that i`ve ever seen, eventhoug its not on the market yet. but still ROCKS

  • The phone is expected to be on the market Q3 (Sept-Oct).

  • thanks..

  • Ha haa...Gr8 phone!SE and Nokia is competing with each other in a GOOD way! Bravo! but I just wish that the internal memory is upgraded to at least 20MB...ENJOY!

  • This is regarding the removal of the memory stick. You do not have to remove the battery in order to remove the memory stick. You only have to remove the battery COVER.

  • this phone has low rating because nokia fans come here to give it 1 out of 10

  • Cool design. Stylish and New Age. Too bad it doesn't come with 3G network.

  • i dun get it.,., quite a cool phone.., but y the rating only 7,.,.,.,.,.,.plus

  • YES they arent giving us everything if u study business administration, you `ll know that this thing is called MARKETING ! & that`s why nokia suxxx

  • very excellent walkman fold welldone again sony ericsson but it would be superb with autofocus gre8 anyway :D,but i know it`s gonna be some expensive once released ,cant wait i ll go 4 the w800 keep coming with Walkman phones SE ! c ya

  • Pretty good, but would be super with AF, flash and a self-portrait mirror.

  • I hate flip phone but SE has changed my opinion about them ... Did u guys see the buttons for music playing on d phone ... cool na!!! but how come the screen is still so small with that resolution they cuve gone for a bigger screen right? THese guys dont give us everything do they

  • cool phone in all aspects.i cant understand why it is poorly rated.

  • im was wondering if there is no Auto Focus, the picture taken will be all blur or bad quality? does the front screen show the date and time? i think it is hard to take self potrait with this phone, no AF and dont have smth like reflector. And how does the movement sensor work? this phone is great and is my idle phone but there is nothing perfect??

  • mm...its hard to understand the direction of these phones now, sure they might target a market, but i dont understand why they keep making great phones but just leaving one thing out, in this case AF which is almost crucial to a good camera, if you leave AF out what is the point of having 2MP, everything wil be blurry anyway just like the camera on the n80, is it really that hard to complete a package?

  • M2 is very little in comparison to MS Duo Pro in size terms. Memory Stick Duo Pro is capable to store up to 4Gb in a simple card, in the Memory Stick Micro M2 the capacity of storage will be up to 32Gb in the future with more faster write/read speeds than MS Duo Pro. And the new SE models (W950, W850, W710) set USB v2.0, is much faster than oldest W series that carries USB 1.0

  • Can someone tell me whats the difference between Memory Stick Micro (M2) and Memory Stick Duo Pro? On w810 e.g. Duo Pro is up to 2GB. Can the w710 support 2GB? Another thing. Hows the data transfer with the SE phones via usb cable? If its fast enough I believe u dont have to pull out the memory card and use a card writer. Thanx.

  • Ericsson starts communication, and keep hardworking to improve theirselves.Sony joins Ericsson, AMAZING.SonyEricsson's journey never ends CUZ they are PAST they are PRESENT and they are FUTURE of communication....I compared top brand cellphones to SonyEricsson, SonyEricsson is better than the BEST...

  • no Auto Focus ??? Seem like SE is now removing AF from all their Walkman phone, this is to differentiate them from Cybershot Phones ???

  • I don't think he could have it, it should be released in August...!

  • i just want to correct my error, i meant w710, not w700..whoops! hehe

  • this phone has the best appearance of all competitors on it's targeted markets, music and cool sporty people, and i really like the designs, i hope SE will make more and more phones in sporty style coz it's so cool, wish that they make cool phones not only in walkman series, but in K,Z,P series... if these will happen, well people of SE will get more inloved with their beloved SE phones... btw, it's a very very good job SE!

  • To be honest with all you guys, I should tell you that this is one helluva' phone. It has everything I wanted, a walkman phone with a beautiful flip design. As said before by someone else, eventhough I aswell will miss the flashlight in my previous phone(K750i) neverthless I am going to buy this phone.

  • I didnt expect this from SE.Did you???

  • this phone is smokin hot! i can't wait to buy it:D

  • i've been waiting for a w-series phone that's a flip phone...and i havent been let down by w700..this phone looks awesome compared to w300..the only thing that bothers me is that the screen on the outside isnt colored..and what's a motion sensor?=/

  • great walkman phone with motion sensor and fitness application. I will definitely buy it when it's released.

  • greta fone bt se are goin a little ova d top wiv d motion sensors seriously!!!!!!

  • Hey... You "wasted your money on this phone." LOL DUDE! this phone is not yet out for sale! LOL...Good joke

  • Man, why did sony make this a non-hot swap memory stick. I cant believe i wasted my money on this phone. Its just like my W810 but in a flip version. This memory stick micro is tiny. And i miss the light from my W810, this has no light..

  • "this is a great looking phone with great features. the only problem, according to mobile-review.com, is that you have to remove the battery first bbefore you can open and replace the mini memory stick. if that is true, then that really is big turn of..." Who cares..this fone is hot

  • yo! This is the coolest phone i had seen before.1 thing that is wrong to me.That is the camera.It don't have any mirror .How to catch our photo.Well, it is would be cooler if the outside LCD sreen have colours for taking photos of ourself.

  • cool mobile from SE.i want to get it.ple pray for me.good going and goodluck SE

  • It says Motion sensor!? Does anyone know what it does? Snap pictures by itself when it senses movement? wow!

  • This fone is the coolist looking phone i have ever seen i own the sony ericsson z520i and it got a better mark than this fone but i do not care i am still getting this fone it is so flipping rockin looking and it has wayt more features!!!!!:) does any body know wen this fone will be outand about how much it will cost.

  • This fone is the coolist looking phone i have ever seen i own the sony ericsson z520i and it got a better mark than this fone but i do not care i am still getting this fone it is so flipping rockin looking and it has wayt more features!!!!!:) does any body know wen this fone will be outand about how much it will cost.

  • this is a great looking phone with great features. the only problem, according to mobile-review.com, is that you have to remove the battery first bbefore you can open and replace the mini memory stick. if that is true, then that really is big turn off. replacing the memory stick too often will cause the battery to loosen. Another thing, Sony ericsson memeory sticks are really expensive.

  • just great!

  • ok, i saw the review...:) thanx... still a great fone tho... hmmm... wat to do before the end of august, i dont know... just cant wait for this fone to come out..:D

  • Guyzz this phone is the best phone i ve ever seen... before i didnt saw any SE models with that very stylish,sporty design. but when this phone was launched. ive got in love of it. i like all of it's functions and it has edge, a step-down broadband version of 3g but offers amazing speed on downloading and browsing. hope gsmarena will make new reviews for the new SE phones... SE,SAMSUNG,BENQ-SIEMENS have been doing good this time, for me they all rocks.!

  • is this an outdoor version of soner?? u must learn from nokia n siemens pals..

  • its a robophone!!!!!

  • I like the sporty style, but when delete the auto-focus and use M2 memory card!? I'll have to buy MS all over again :(

  • i really like this phone, unfortunately it's not 3G so.......

  • i prefer W850 and this One the best. i think the best designs of SE phones are in W-Seires Lineups. they're very sporty,Stylish, classic and feature-rich especially music and sometimes Camera incomparable to others. yes nokia makes very full-featured phones today like n93,n73,n80 but look at it's design. very very ugly. SE has maintained good feautures and design quality/ appearance. i can say this phone(W710) is truly superb. all walkman phones are great. even though the covers are non-removable (styleup covers) the overall appearance is not boring but breathtaking that everytime you use it. you'll be more inloved with it. we thank you SE for making it very good...

  • this is a must buy phone

  • This phone is really sweet. It is exactly what I am looking for. Does anyone know the price of it? And the best online store that that ships/sells worldwide.

  • No Auto Focus?! :((((((( If SE will make a version for w710 whit Auto Focus i surely buy it, no meter price, cos will have everything.

  • Its a gr8 set. luv it according to mobile-review its price would be 270 Euro and it ll launch in 3Q, end of august...

  • Fitness. The device is armed with motion sensor, allowing it to calculate number of steps you made during the current session. This innovative gadget has the following to offer you: two modes (Walking and Running), adjustable values of distance, time, upper and lower bounds of speed. Personal data includes age, sex, weight, height � basically everything that is essential to evaluate amount of calories spent. While running or walking the screen reflects all information you can only dream of � time from the beginning, covered distance, current speed, and user is also at liberty to switch between screens and learn more on calories consumption, average lap time or just reset all acquired data and begin a new cycle. The settings seem to be enough for an ordinary man, although sportsmen aren�t likely to find something of great interest in them. Yet the most brilliant function is ability to set up the measurements individually, this is the way it works: if you know how long is the distance you are going to run, you can adjust the settings minutely after covering it, so all posterior evaluations and data will be even more precise.

  • Roxie: mobile-review has already made a review of the W710 ;)

  • I think the design is a bit too complex and untidy(the front cover and keypad). They should try to keep it simple like SE Z550.

  • Hey guys.. IF you are looking for a decent REVIEW there you go

  • when will it be out? anyone knows?

  • this is a very nice phone indeed, SE phones are so innovative nowaday, well ahead of the nokia brand

  • does anyone know the price range of this phone... ?? estimated price also can.... =)

  • How loud is it?

  • at last, the phone with everything need!!:) clamshell, with 512mem card, 2mpx cam, walkman fone... im so happy this model finally came out!:) i just wonder how much itll cost though... somebody come up with a decent review already!:P

  • Have u noticed that the camera resolution is higher than all the other 2mp camera's... Cool

  • you don't like this phone because he don't have autofocus. Jump over the bridge, people. Phone is amazing,definitly gonna buy it.

  • This phone.... All the new ones... are SOOO stylish. But why not the autofocus?!? Otherwise it would've been perfect. It looks amazing....

  • what is motion sensor?

  • Anyway among all the se walkman phone, the best are still w900i and w800i, it has almost everything like autofocus in a 2megapixel phone, infra, bluetooth, acceptable memory space unlike w710 which has only 10mb internal memory(just like nokia) which is bad though. So i guess we need to have a petition set up to let the SE see that having all the basic stuff included will be the best LOLX.

  • I don't like the design. It's just like my sport shoes.

  • looks pretty nice im been shoping around for a phone and it comes down to the w700 or the w710 witch one should i go with

  • Hi! Should i wait for this phone, or should i buy SE W300i now? Is this phone much better than W300i? I need a musicphone with good battery. Tje price is also important. Can sombody please tell me which one i should go for??

  • This phone isn't better than w800.. It's middle-class,maybe the price won't be middle=class,but the phone is! It's something like upgrade after w300i. No Auto Focus?! I'm SE fan,but what dam pictures will take 2Mpx camera without auto focus and any focus also?! The answer is rubbish-quality big pictures.. Yeas..Deffinetly middle-class phone no matter the starting price and comments.

  • It will sure bring prices down of it elder brothers....... but gr8 phone

  • seems my new mobile after w800

  • boring design... but it packs quite a big features... hate the keypad & overall look of the fone... it looks "cheap"

  • These last 3 phones are soooo beautyfull. I like them all. I love their new style. but the camera doesn't have a flash light. I wonder how the night mode works? Can somebody tell me please?

  • hey i really liked this phone the display could be a little larger but anyways it still be a good phone with a nice desing :)

  • This phone is a cool one :D hope it will come out with a moderated price :)

  • Wooowww!!!! this fone will be my z530i replacemant!

  • this is one of the few clamshell phones i like ^_^ it seems rather nice.. however i have no idea what the motion sensor is for.. anyone have any ideas?

  • Pretty cool design 8-) but that's all..the features aren't so interesting at all..it falls behind from nokia new handsets..maybe this one is intended for cheap line handsets..but i should say d outer design is pretty cool!really..its kinda really high-tech looking..but its really not...

  • Seema like SE is falling behind Nokia, these new phones dont impress me at all.

  • now this is the phone i m waiting 4.can anybody tell me about its speaker weather is it better than any other sony w range or not ,,can we put in 1gb card in it.whts fitness aplication...

  • Nice...first opinion...see W850i...GSM Arena didn't post it until now.
