Sony Ericsson G700 Business Edition - User Reviews

  • I see how BlackBerry is copying Sony Ericsson by removing cameras from their phones and releasing it as some "edition".

  • I'd rather have a BlackBerry. Thanks for the offer though!

  • I bought the G700 ( not the business edition) in september, 2008. Till now, the only issue i had was with the phone memory being gradually drained with camera usage, which is only a minor nuisance. The touchscreen has also become slightly erratic recently, but thats expected from a resistive touchscreen if it's not properly protected. Barring these two issues, it was totally worth the money. I also get decent battery life, 2 days with moderate usage, a half day more if its on standby.

  • i still have my se g700. i bought it last sept 2008 but touchscreen is not working anymore. performance is doing good. no wifi. really wanted to sell it or update the software. it's a smartphone. i wanted to change the casing and renew the keypad but don't know where to buy them.

  • This is the network issue , nothing to do with the mobile .

  • Hi guys, I am using this mobile since 2008, as 4 me I find everything which we expect from a smartphone except wi-fi. I thing S.E. is the best brand.

  • i Want SE G700 Business Edition mobile if any one willing to sell it please contact me in this no 9884154535. Cause i have lost my mobile the same modeli don't want to go to other mobile so please help me.

  • I have a sony ericsson g700 business edition, and as you all know it is a touch screen cell phone, but the touch screen is not working, if you touch on the screen, it will bring the task manager of the phone, and one more thing, my phone has the ability to connect black berry, but I don't know how to deal with it or I can say I don't know how to connect it with black berry, my location is kabul, afghanistan. Please guys help me out with this. Best regards, [email protected]

  • loss of money

  • OK, am not allowed a camera phone at work,hence got this one from Singapore,even though I am based in India. Got this 3 months back and I a hate this phone from day 2. Cons: 1. Touchscreen just doesnt work 2. Too slow if you operate the phone 3. Battery drains in a day ( I speak for less than 30 mins on mobile a day) 4. Gmail gets stuck (downloaded as an App) Dont recommend this for anyone,believe we have Samsung Champ (C 3300) without camera,go for that one..

  • do not buy it!totally not worth my touch screen spoiled within 6 months

  • Can somebody help me with this: I can't transfer, photo, videos,music and it doesn't have a player to operate like a walkman I mean sony ericsson g700 business edition. Is there any way guys and gals, please help me. .

  • better not buy it because it`s battery is weak. it lasted only 24 hours or less even if you use some good battery saving tips.the touchscreen may looses it`s sensitivity if you drop it,i guessed, and the dropping chances is very high because it`s slightly heavy.

  • Well, I longed to have G700 Business Edition. I don't have enough money to buy one. Gosh, I need to work harder...

  • Hey SE, don't call it "Business Edition" How come it called G700(Business Edition) if there is no wifi device installed in it? This is just a false advertisement by SE so don't buy this fone, there are no major differences in performance and features in a regular G700 compared with this G700 Buisness Edition.

  • This phone SMS is very bad, one SMS sent in. When forwards out becomes 3 or more SMS (each SMS can only have 64 characters)

  • at least there is some mobile in the Multimedia segment without camers

  • The phone is perfect for business people!

  • hey, from where u purchase this phone (non cam)

  • At last a smart phone without a camera. It will make my life easier.

  • this phone is non sense

  • Just give this a phone a break please. this phone is meant to be used in camera restricted areas. i have it for about a year now. like the phone because it`s symbian. so, very nice usage. if you want a camera get the G700.

  • r u in school? dont u understand the meaning of business phones. Nowadays camera cellphones are not allowed in offices. SE have released 2 versions of this phone one without camera & the other with a camera.

  • I applause Sony Ericsson for creating an advanced mobile with no camera. It makes life much brighter for those who work in institutions where cameras are not allowed.

  • i think SE is the phone ever made n always be like that but sometimes i felt disappoint because SE always left behind in the new taste of SE.every time SE release new handset always feel same like the other series of SE.the inovation is very slow.

  • i think SE is the phone ever made n always be like that but sometimes i felt disappoint because SE always left behind in the new taste of SE.every time SE release new handset always feel same like the other series of SE.the inovation is very slow.

  • what the hell i really dont understand why SONY ERICSSON take so long time to release a mobile phone they announced their handset almost before 1 year,by the time they released their hand sets,other companies just put sony ericsoon behind in features and othe specifications.

  • When can i expect this in Chennai?? India

  • Juz wondering... Does the touchscreen work well?

  • er. i have this phone and it does have a camera. not a very good one but its not meant as a camera phone. all in all its a decent, slim, unique phone... the post it notes application for example. very useful. web browsing is cool because the touch screen scrolls the page around and the text fits to the page very well. there are newer phones around, but u can get this for �150 sim free which isnt a bad price for it's features

  • they do have fone wif camera..its either G700 business edition (w/o camera) n the other one is G700 (with camera)...

  • business phone, wifi, why not?

  • Anonymous... in case you didn't notice. It doesn't come with a Camera because it's a BUISINESS EDITION. You aren't allowed to have a camera in some business institutions. This phone is going to SELL like wildfire where cameras are illegal. (photographing, sexual harrassment etc)

  • i have never seen a phone lose the others languge when rest or format the phone . i was have one and i formate it i found that the arabic languge dispeared what the hell phne i reuten to nokia

  • i want g700 but it doesnt comes with black colour; now got g700 but it doesnt comes with camera; what the hell!!

  • EDGE? come on..! it's an old technology.. This phone is already 3G capable. What do you need a 2.75G technology for?

  • No Camera is Okay, But No EDGE is in Business Edition. What a pity!

  • anonymous people, stop posting comments just for the sake of posting. most of your comments seem to have skipped your brain when you typed in your comments. If you want the one with camera get the G700 with camera edition, if you want the one with camera and wifi get the g900.

  • Actually, many companies don't allow employees to have a camera on their phone. This was a very good idea for a phone. A perfect example would be a buisnessman/woman who would use this phone at work and then have a second phone for personal use. If for some reason you cannot understand that please GTFO

  • waiting new Smartphone with Symbian from Sony Ericsson.. i don't like Smartphone with WinMo

  • waiting new Symbian Smartphone from Sony Ericsson.. i don't like WinMo Smartphone

  • of course no camera, thats illegal at office, industry, etc ...NO CAMERA !

  • lol u r funny this phone doesn't even have a camera to take photos with!

  • I don't see anything special in this phone it seems so pointless

  • Crap... No camera ? Bussines phone or not, camera it's very important, at least for me.

  • Useful for those serving Full Time National Service in Singapore.

  • This is a business edition phone which means no camera. The specs say so too.

  • 20000 what? Yen? USD??? Euros?? do you mind being specific please

  • to save battery life: use simple and small size themes ( do not use flash themes), set mobile network to GSM only, listen music in flight mode or music mode, do not take picture often, reduce LCD brightness.

  • thats kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuul but bad battery power

  • this phone is with the 3.15 pixel camera & price around 20'000....

  • Its Status is ...coming soon!! Whats its cost??. Can someone tell how much lesser $ one has to spend for G700 without camera.

  • haha! it's silly that people complain about its camera when there's the original G700 and the G900. you silly, silly people! i just wanna pinch your cheeks!

  • This phone designed without camera for special markets with special need! for example, here in Israel there is lot of security workplace (like army, weapon and airplane development...)

  • why everyone here talking about camera??even want good camera phone go buy C905 lah..got 8mp camera.......pls stop all this camera thing on this phone.......

  • this phone is user friendly.. ringing tone is loud enough and the phone is light. even though w/o camera, is fine, but lacking is wifi, if there is, that will be perfect. but overall, performance is good. pricing is also reasonable.

  • This is the model that I am looking for. I hope to get it in IRAN. THANKYOU SONY ERICSSON

  • Why the camera is missing? Is it all business people does not require camera. Camera is the de facto requirement for all phone now.

  • he don't have a camera!

  • Can some user of this phone pl. tell me the actual battery stand by time.Some people seriously need a good phone with most of the features but without the camera.This can be a good option for them.

  • why don't you buy G900?

  • Is quite lack and SLOW. Anyone have any idea is this Non-Camera phone is better than Nokia E51 or is there any other Sony Ericsson Non-Camera phone available. Desperate for non-camera phone......

  • sad that there is no W-LAN. else I will definitely buy it

  • where is the G900 Business Edition??!!

  • This is fantastic! I have waited for a handset that did not have a camera as where I work we are not allowed to have it. Battery life 12 hours talktime is fantastic. I'm sold. Note to other people, not everyone wants wi-fi for a business phone, 9/10 you can't connect to the server because of security issues.

  • This phone would have been a very good smartphone without a camera, perhaps even bettes than e51 if not for the lack of two rather important connectivity features: hspda and wifi!

  • This SPECS of device with EDGE, Wifi, full QWERTY, 2.4" display, 128MB RAM, 256MB ROM, 520MHZ, Camera free and Size like BlackBerry Curve

  • No EDGE, which is very necessary. What is the Price, RAM and processor speed?

  • I think this is the phone i have waited for many months.Bluetooth,touch screen,mp3 ,3G and w/o camera.Many of my friends have bought N51 but I prefer Sony Ericsson, this will be my 3rd Sony Ericsson phone.

  • some work places do not allow camera phones due to their sensitive nature. this will be a great smartphone for these people. and this grey version looks way better than the gaudy gold camera one.

  • Wow no Wi-Fi, no EDGE, no HSDPA. Atleast have Wi-Fi. This phone only has 3G and GPRS, thats extremely weak for a Smartphone of 08 thats aimed at Business/Connectivity.

  • no camera? what kind of phone is this

  • No wifi No Camera and it will be low budget Business Edition Phone. Atleast add EDGE otherwise won't release.

  • Nokia e51 and you will forget the SE business phone ( no wifi is no business phone, sorry )

  • "SE always behind vs Samsung/Nokia in connectivity features. No wifi, No EDGE. Who will get interest in this Business Edition!!!" Funny, quite a number of people actually agree that SE > Nokia/Samsung. You are actually the minority because most people whom I see using Nokia/Samsung can't seem to figure out how to use the computer.

  • SE always behind vs Samsung/Nokia in connectivity features. No wifi, No EDGE. Who will get interest in this Business Edition!!!

  • i saw in advertising in Jakarta, the regular G700 also avaiable in this color, of course with 3,2 mpix camera.

  • Hi, do G700BE available in Indonesia? Low-price would be a good decision for SE, because a lot of Chinese touch-screen phone with TV features has saturated the market.

  • Bro if you're into wifi and wants a phone without a camera. Maybe you should try Nokia E51 Camera Free - it's the perfect business phone

  • Finally!!! Sony Ericsson non camera phone. Been a long wait since M600i and W960. What a worthwhile wait. Can't wait to get this phone! For those who want a camera phone.. there are so much more other SE phones you can get. Do let us, the minority of us which does not have the luxury of having a camera phone celebrate the joy of owning one.. just one SE camera free phone. Thank you!

  • Does it have Bussiness card scanner

  • This is a good phone for me. The firm i work for does not allow us to carry anything that can capture images or videos. Good job SE for releasing a camera-free phone. Although I wish this phone had WIFI.

  • Honestly, who really needs a camera on their mobile? I think this phone looks great, it is slim, talk time looks amazing! and there are no stupid add-ons you pay extra for and end up never using.

  • good phone, no camera and yes it does have 3G. Business phone is the correct name.

  • It doesn't need a camera because its not made for imaging, it's a device made for people who work in areas that dont allow cameras and camera phones, places like Goverment buildings, bank volts etc. . .this device's only major let down is the lack of Wi-Fi, EDGE and a faster UI.

  • No camera, no wi-fi, no quad-band, wtf? This is the most clear evidence that SE's design & development division is integrated by #%$@?*! people.

  • The Business Edition has no camera.

  • If only it was quadband.. man.

  • The phone on Sony Ericson site has a 3mp camera. How is this different?

  • what are camera for?? i have N95, why i must buy camera phone? i think this G700 BE is good solution for me.

  • i like this phone. because i do not need camera. i waiting for organizer phone with out camera.

  • It looks really nice and I would have bought it but since it has no camera, I'll have to look for something else. If it was with at least a 2 MP camera, this would have been my first option for a new phone.

  • this will be an excellent option for business people who are not allowed to carry camera phones at work. great job SE SE G900 should have a business edition too

  • What's wrong with you people, if you want a G700 with camera just buy the regular G700 (though I wish they did that in grey too). That said, I think the E51 camera-free is better than this in terms of specifications and looks...

  • What's a phone without a camera? PLEASE tell me you're not serious... surely that would make it... a phone?

  • jeejejejejejejej this phone havent a cam b coz its a Bussiness Edition... in some office building tha cam are forbiden... now you understand?��'

  • any body has any idea about the price of this gadget

  • any body has any idea about the price of this gadget

  • good one. some businesses prohibit camera phones. this is a good alternative but let's hope it won't be expensive.

  • That's what I call thinking logically. Finally a great phone with good features that does not have a camera, because this is a real ity nowadays. Thanks Sony Ericsson!

  • whats a phone without a camera. SE please this is a joke!!!!

  • in some offices, cameras or camera phones are not allowed for documentation. at least they've added the wlan feature.

  • thanks for your attention . because in some organizaion it is forbiden to have cellphone with camera. after m600i - w950 , this model is great . thank you sony ericsson

  • Is this a joke?

  • "business edition"=no camera, no wi-fi maybe the 'business' part stands for getting it cheaper for more masses to buy it, so more business for sony ericsson ...or maybe it's just because it's "businessy" gray

  • this sony no good camera no ?

  • How come a business Edition but no WIFI function available.. doubt!! So thing is so important for business usage!! SE please take note

  • In some areas, it's forbidden to enter with a cameradevice for many reasons. Thats why we need to have handsets without this feature.

  • How come it doesn't have a camera? Almost everyone likes to have camera phones.

  • it is a business phone, but I can not take pictures of my documents?? Why, SE, WHY????!!!

  • Cant imagine a business phone without wifi !!!

  • no room for camera here :P

  • NO camera Boohooooo!

  • N800 and N810 are internet "phones" and yea 7710 is useless but its still a nokia touch screen phone and theres the Nokia 6708....candy bar touch screen phone by nokia came out in 2005.....

  • nokia N800 and N810 is NOT a phone and the 7710 is useless.

  • If it's a bussiness phone... how come it's not a quadband instead?

  • i hate phones on mobiles. if this goes out with a time travel deveice abd a good price i will buy it. Good Work SE!

  • I hate cameras on mobile phones. if this goes out with a good price I will buy it. Good work SE!

  • good phone, but not great

  • this is defnetly not a business phone !!

  • its cause in alot of goverment buildings your not allowed camera phones...and in other offices like designing companies so its not the brands that made this rule...its the g=y governments....

  • if you don't know of any nokia touch phone.....whats the N800, N810?? could they be touch? and the 7710.....dude

  • Dani Thats a load of nonsense! This is ACTUALY a direct rival to the NOKIA E51-No_Camera. Fact is the E51 will be better that this because it has Wi-Fi, HSDPA and a faster UI, oh and loads more business apps. :-)

  • NOBODY SHOULD BUY THIS PHONE. GIVE THE RIGHT ANSWER TO ALL THOSE 'clever' Vice Presidents of SonyEricsson sitting in big conference rooms making decision by reading magazines!! Only difference between normal G700 is the camera. WHU SHOULD I BUY THE G700 BUSINESS or WHY SHOULD A STORE SELL the G700 BUSINESS? Just take a normal G700 (ask the technical department to take out the camera sparepart) so the normal G700 = G700 Business + sparepart camera !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • a pity no wi-fi but its a business phone so u can get a 3g service if u are a business man -_-. Nokia fags dont bash because i dont know of any nokia phone even with touchscreen :) (pwned!!)

  • As far as I see the GSMArena have big internal photos of G700 BE, while the official SE site hasn't uploaded any yet. The arena team was also the first to upload official and live hi-quality photos for C905. Big thanks dudes :)

  • why is not G900 Business Edition??!!

  • This is like Nokia's 6300, a Business Phone...... 6300 is a businesss phone of Nokia's it has a 2MP Camera(which is useless) SE just hasnt put it in which is great and Wi-Fi ? 6300 doesnt have wi-fi this doesnt need it.. its basically a SIMPLE Business Phone!

  • Business Edition right no camera no wi-fi what the hell is sonyericsson is doing

  • wtf is this??? so many phone is much better on this phone...

  • they call it a business phone with no wifi.. Whar is wrong with them.. Stop rehashing se and get creative.. Wat a rip off.. I'd rather keep my n95

  • should've made g900 business instead

  • 2nd post..wers the camera..

  • wat's the difference between the G700 and the G700 Bisiness Edition?Only cover colour difference?

  • first post where's the wifi?
