Sony Ericsson G705 - User Reviews

  • This phone in particular I actually find really strange!

  • It has that design of a Walkman phone

  • I want your mobile

  • Hi i buy this mobilm in 2012. Now i am using look like new mobile.. I wanna sell this..

  • I got G705 since 2009 I like it very much coz it easy for me but it has been stolen in 2013. Since im using it I just repaired it once in 2012. I want to buy like it again but I cant find it anywhere, its rare I think.

  • Hi dear friends :) I've bought this phone in 2008 and I should say that I still do everything with it except playing games :)) It got repaired just once and the problem was sticky power button.It has a good camera and the slide works just fine after 6 years of usage.Even it was not necessary to replace the battery with a new one :) One thing is clear for me.I was lucky that I bought this piece of art and I'll keep it as long as it lasts :) My next phone will be from Sony 'cause its products come out with the best quality :)

  • I have just Bought a New One of These Phones off ebay, Been Using for A week And So Far So Good! I Would say That despite It's Chunkyness, This Phones Keeps Up with modern Times And Would Be Perfect For A person that does'nt want a Touch Screen smartphone, And A person That Prefers A More Simple Interface. In Conclusion This phone Has a Nice Design, advanced Features Such As: GPS & Wi-Fi & in General Performs Well... I Will be Keeping this phone As a Spare And Since I Am On 3 the 3G Connectivity also Comes In Very Useful :)

I fell it in the water while taking a bath for twice but its still working. And sometimes i accidentally fell it into the ground but its still amazing compare to the first day that i've used it :-) G705 is the best! Its very easy to use, very easy to download file.

  • My G705 hangs a lot while making a call. How to rectify this problem? I am seriously thinking of buying another mobile...

  • Any one know where can i find the FREE Garmin software for this phone?

  • it's marvelous.i use it since 1 and half years thanks for Sony Ericsson's production team

  • I have been using this phone for about 2years. It works perfectly other than : -blurry image is produced when u have shaky hands -not-very-loud speaker(relatively low volume) -occasionally, it hangs (only if u multitask it) The camera is ok if u have steady hand to take pic =)

  • Having it for almost 2 years now, has bin through a lot, still doing his thing :D

  • touchscreen?

  • nice mobile i am using sony g705 mobile it is very nice

  • buttons are not working now, all my contacts are saved on the phone, i have my back up on my memory card but dunno how to check it contacts thru pc

  • superb phone...jus lovin it

  • its very awesome

  • problems I have with this phone: 1st few months, it usually says charging but after few a hours, there were no charge at all, i bought to warranty service after few months, i had the same problem again, nothing is wrong with the charger, they say. the keypad is made of rubber, it turns dark after few weeks, no rubber at all is on it now 'cause i remove it myself the camera sucks, it's always blurry now i have a problem with earpiece this phone is just giving me problems for the past 1 and a half year

  • I was having g705 its really good but I wanna buy vivaz cuz its said that its camera is better than mine so I will sell my old one who wanna buy it contact me

  • Mine just broke, after using for 20 months, just one month before I can renew my contract without penalty charges...sheez.. Anyway, this phone served me well. Only peeve is that start-up is quite slow. After you boot it up, it'll take a while before you can surf the folders, menus, functions and whatnots smoothly.

  • what is the type of this phone?android or smart phone or else?

  • how to use wifi?

  • super,,i like that sony ericsson G705

  • usually the keypad had loose.. or maybe you should change your circuit boards for the keypad..

  • very nice phone...i bought this 2 years ago...and still not giving me any serious problem...

  • Let me start off by saying this is an awesome phone. One of the best I've ever had. It was good for playing my music which was very important to me. However a few months after purchasing the phone, the control buttons stopped working and I had to get a new phone. Another problem that I had with it was the quality of the pictures. For a 3.15mp I expected better pictures. Also, the areas around the buttons stripped pretty easily. Even with all those issues, I would definitely buy this phone again.

  • Very nice phone! I have it over a year now, it never let me down. Nice internet browser for such a small phone, FaceBook works excellent on it, fantastic music player (like a MP3 player) Only + points, there are 2 - points: - camera in dark - earphone jack is still the old Sony connection.

  • this phone is very good awesome

  • this z nic phone i ever had.. But i can't make calls thorugh skype in dis phone. Camera z poor quality.. Hsdpa speed z not good than nokia n95, n900 & n8. If anyone knws hw can i get skype call soft and motion games to dis phone. Plz give link or a site.

  • may i know the os of this phone

  • I have a problem. My handset keypad cannot use is jem. What should I do?

  • can this phone play motion gaming? like one of the SE games called LOCO-ROCO, can it be played on this phone using motion?

  • yes it can but very laggy n very bad quality video... (i own tis phone) its really not a good decision to buy tis phone especially these day. go for w995. its one of the best sony phone ever made.

  • camera not work

  • This is the one of the best SE phones. i used T610 and K750i. I updated this phone after buying and it works perfectly. wish flash was brighter tho.Good work SE

  • Don't install a software that has no signer. Pls review ur phone's security there you see available signer certificates. Many software comes with different signer, review the signer if it is available to ur phone otherwise it could damage ur software.

  • no,,,it does not have!!!

  • g705 got 2 types message software? y my phone message if add in animation the massage will changer 2 mms?

  • I own this mobile and its the same old USB,charger and earphone prob in mobile.

  • the camera is very good, the problem of this phone is the color easily faded and the sticker also

  • I've owned mine for a year and I have not had the same issue with the buttons. This is a pretty viable business phone with native SyncML, and Exchange ActivSync. It supports AT&T 3G, and WiFi. Sound quality is above average and the external speaker is fairly loud. I did have problems with the phone hanging and restarting when I was moving around the menus quickly. After the update the problem seems to be gone. Also, the battery life improves dramatically with the updated firmware. I will be upgrading to a Nokia E72 but I will keep this g705 as a backup handset. Love SE sliders. No complaints.

  • is it true that the paint of this phone is easily scraped! wtf wtf wtf wtf..

  • is it true

  • I using this mobile last 2 mouths.. The main button color is gone and spoiling my phone look:-( so what to do?

  • juz find out that g705 is the same model with w705. Not knowing bout tis b4 till my fren bought it n it look very alike wit my w705. So are the feature between tis 2 model. Ckckckckk... Sony.. Sony..!

  • FOR THOSE FREEZING'HANGING, AUTO SWITCH ON-OFF, NETWORK CONNECTION ERROR PROBLEMS...Update your software thru PCSUITE! its just frmware problem. Evrythng wl work well i guarantee you ds phone is great when comes to any net connection 3g or wifi! I use to upload my vids n youtube thru ds phone using wifi.

  • I've been using ds G705 for 3m0nths since i bought it. So far i haven't encountered any problem. I always use wifi connection and wap hspda f m out of d wlan range evryday for net surfing and youtube. I use 2 operaminis (operamini 4.2 and 5)at the same time opening fb, two different emails, uploadng and dwnloadng files while the youtube s running on task manager altogether. Also with my music player on. I always maximize usage of it never freeze nor hang! Compare to my w910 bfore. G705 Its ultimately fast downloadng and uploadng. My only cons here is small screen and camera. But d video s fine. For those that has freezing problems try update d softwar using d pcsuite thru internet. Thats what i did aftr a m0nth snce i bought just to b sure d interface to work well...

  • G705 has GPS (A-GPS support)

  • I have the same comment as well Oswald after about 9 months the slide ribbon spoiled in my own

Large screen..n, and, and..to those wid trouble using it just upgrade the version..how?kaif?its easy..you go to se wbsite..dfinit8ly, if u cn see,u can find it.. P/s-i test the cam with the one of da k series with 3.2mp..though it lacks autofocus or xenon flash..when it comes to static picture..this phone is good.the downside is when object in motion..it realy sucks.but,in all..its worth it.

  • what is diffrance between g705 and w715

  • wats de differnce b/w G705 and W705.. which is better..my requisites r clear sound and better cam... so plz advice..thnx

  • hey guys. ok i had this phone for almost 8 months and even though there is better, i think its become a favorite! its a simple phone, great camera, dont think i have had any wifi problems as it connects automatically everytime i enter the house, this phone is amazing, if you want to upgrade, upgrade to this one, no regrets guaranteed, its a great for texting, but the only problem i had is with the battery cover, once the phone falls down, the cover goes flying.. so its a bit fragile :) this phone is a good cookie, if simplicity and easy is what you're looking for then you will have a good treat =D

  • this fon can support garmin gps or not???

  • nice phone to have..... dad bought it a year ago for me coz my n70 slipped from my trousers pocket into d drain.... camera module spoiled n keypad got screwed... my upgrade is G705... mice phone...

  • Hi,you may find some kinds of different models in various brands but I think G705 can be one of them to be discussed more.I used it for a while and I found it very fatastic in every feature like good shape and smart function with all suprising easy to use. My friend have bought it for one year and is very satisfied with the good popularity in the world. I congratulate the manufacturer on making this type of phone. Thanks to everybody has this model. Bye!

  • g705 is better than g900. you get almost everything with g705 that the g900 has and you pay much less. The best non-smart phone on the market

  • which is better g900 or g705? pls help me

  • They're cheating on you,. u can easily find this hp in all hp shops! but i suggest u to buy W705. i used this g705 for 2mnths and the quality is very bad!... compare to w series.. trust me.

  • Do not buy this at Sony Ericsson Glorietta 3, they sell defective units. I bought mine here last August, and after 4 months, it was defective and Sony Ericsson Glorietta 3 advised me that it could no longer be used and that I should buy a new one. Wow so easy for them to say!

  • if u want 2 use wifi 2 connect internet....better u buy G705... if u nt satisfy with 3.15mp camera....better u buy C903....it hv 5mp...

  • i love it esp, its wifi. camera with cybershot is recommendable. tracking, navigator, music, trackid etc makes it heavy

  • i wan to buy a new fon...but g705 n c903 which is better ar?any1 can giv me opinion?

  • nice fone but the keypad is not that good, i bought it for abot 8 mos. and its keypad is starting to tear ..

  • i bought my G705 5 months ago.that's very nice phone.it give you alot of option such as wi-fi,GPS,3.2mp camera,... but it's very cheap! it's performance is very good but sometimes it restarts. that's the best phone on the market becuase it's performance is good and it's very cheap and Beautifull!

  • juz bought it few days ago, hmmm,wat i can tell is owsome but hate the camera. better if in cyber shot camera...

  • I juz want to enquire whether this G705 can be installed wif bible software?

  • If you are looking for a compact and light phone with all the features of a business phone, this is the best one on the market. The only one odd is the lack of .doc, .xls, .pdf readers. I am surprised SE is still selling phones without docs readre.

  • I bought my G705 for RM 675 (I'm a Malaysian) in Jan 2010. Yesterday I went to Giant for shopping, I ask for G705 and the price rose to RM 999. They also said that this phone is no longer in production / waiting for 2010 release.

  • The scrapped paint on the cover will not interrupt the function. Still can use maa!

  • the paint of this phone is easily scrap. its made of cheap plastic materials i tell that. its one of the worst phone ever made by SE. better go w705 mate..

  • Malaysia got this hp? but i asked from the Sony Ericsson hp dealer, they said Malaysia dont have this model.. where you bought?

  • Nice phone! No! Awesome!! At my place the price for an AP set only rm580 (jan 2010). I now use it for 1 month and everything is still ok even i've dropped it to the floor several time. The function is great. The screen quite large. No problem with my wi-fi. Can install with java games and softwares. The media player is nice. Flash themes. The battery supports up to 3 days. But the only problem are the camera not really perfect but still clear and the speaker are too slow but still ok. Perfect phone for price under rm600 / Usd250

  • Be careful about using tenses. "Was" indicates a past event, therefore you assume that G705 is USED TO BE perfect phone. How about NOW?

  • for card slot,can use memory stick M2 8GB? not heng ? if not i wan buy,cause i buy already.. :D

  • it was a perfect phone

  • Use the accept cal list under manage calls

  • could somebody please tell me if there is any application like blacklist on this phone? i want to block some phones. in nokia it has a application. but in sony ericsson i don't know. i want blacklist calls

  • hi folks, just wanna share my experiences, I've had this gadget for 9 months, everything is still workin good, some of you said that this phone's suck on battery I don't think so,. I've tried and this phone could stand by almost a week, I used for couple texting, but if you use it for call,text,video and music,it'll last for 2 days and setting ur phone network into GSM network only does give the difference, (as far I know,it'll will search for the network coverage of UMTS or HSDPA eventhough u're in the area that doesn't have 3G or 3.5G, so why u lose ur power is u can save it???) and for the durability, I accidentally dropped it (maybe 5 times), it dropped from my desk and my pocket,but everything just fine,.just some scratch on the cassing,lol the speaker is awesome if u dont't put it on max volume (and if u find something that maybe annoying,just tune it on the equalizer,.) and it'll be much better using the headset, video and camera,they're more than average in noon usage,but not so good in the night, fortunately u can do something like setting ur white balance to incandescent and turn on ur light, what I found that bothering me was the flash, it is not flash light,just continuous light when we're taking pict,. starting up,..yeah,I don't like it, it takes more time than symbian phone or others, I think it's caused by using ur 'flash theme' so it'll take more time, wifi is working awesome, and I can watch video on youtube, (built-it app), fast but there was a time that my wifi didn't work, it said that it's connected,but I couldn't surf internet, but after having cleaned up the cookies and chace, it worked (can someone tell me why?? thanks) and give me some advice to find the office document application for it,.viewing and editting,. thanks, explore ur G705 and u'll find it much more intersting (sorry if my English's bad....)

  • this phone works really great.. it has all the features with a reasonable price.. =) love it.. but can i ask why sometimes the phone goes blank itself (not auto off) just blank for like 5seconds? it occurs when i was typing msg.. so far twice since i got the phone a few weeks ago.. can someone help to tell me why??

  • hey guys i'm thinking about buying this cellphone.. please can anyone tell me if it's good or should i find something else ? and what are it's disadvantages and it's advantages :D:D

  • can u put 2 sim cards in this phone? x

  • hummmm... thanx i'll try!

  • yes!!!!

  • hey guys, does this phone have flash themes?

  • i think first u need add a voice command... coz it doesnt read d name itself as oder nokia phones havin dis feature do....so first add a voice command : menu>contacts>select a contact>options>edit contact> voice command> add .... n now wen d caller calls.....u'll hear ur own recorded voice.... dats all i know.....hope it helps.....tc..

  • Does any one know how to play caller name while the phone is ringing for in coming call????? there is a option in MENU > SETTINGS > GENERAL > VOICE CONTROL > PLAY CALLER NAME i have switch on the option but its not happening!!! pls help if any 1 know how to do this

  • Many are complaining 'bout its cam. Well, all you need are some set-ups depending upon the place where you're taking pix. If it's quite dim, open its light, increase brightness, night mode on, and use either fluorescent or incandescent light not auto, daylight, etc. Also, for you to take finer/better pix, don't remove your finger right away once you press ok/shot button. All you have to do is press hold it until "saving" appears on screen. Consider this suggestion because G705 cam has low sensitivity and not a cybershot phone like C and K series....

  • thanks for the sharing... i'll try it ..

  • me 2 tried. it saves sum battery.

  • my batery can stand until 5 days....Even used for regular call and mp3. But need to change setting to GSM only and not for GSM and 3G setting.

  • I searched all the sony ericsson phones and decided to buy the G705.Functions are excellent and am very happy with the purchase. Recomended purchase.

  • remove memory card 1st before connect to pc.=)

  • files in phone memory can't be read once trying to open them with pc. this prob started to happen when i brought my g705 to sony ericsson center for software upgrade. anyone who can tell how to solve this prob?

  • stand by walk mate sucks the most of battery.

  • Hi everyone ! Who can tell me about this phone (SE G705) ? Because I think want to purchase it,but worry will regret. I hope that someone kindly can answer my question . THANK YOU !

  • guys, is it possible to upgrade g705 media player in to w715's walkman????

  • g705, w705 & w715 are almost identical W705 doesn�t have GPS G705 doesn�t have sense me & shake control But W715 got all.

  • Really? if it is expensive for you then you should perchase Nokia3310, only to answer and call.

  • thanks, but its to expensive for me... hehehe n i've been thinking that i would like to buy g705.any comment about my choice???

  • Sony Ericsson W715 is better

  • is that really if this phone has sucks battery? please, i need this!

  • which one better w705 or g705?

  • Al r wel,bt da panic is tht it has no flash on camera nd nt symbian.othrs r enough to hv a nrmal use...

  • Good job. Do it onece more. And see if it still works or not????

  • Why Java don't support? can you pls give my any other way to use VOIP on G705

  • Yes Battery is very bad and every night i have to charge it, if not then i can not answer many calls due to become red

  • You are most welcome

  • Many are saying that G705 can only produce bad quality pictures, blurred pix. Guyz, there is a good slolution to this problem. When you're about to take a picture, use the designated button, then press hold it until "saving" pops up. Try it and you won't regret buying this phone when it comes to quality pictures.

  • i got this phone after owning a few different phones, didnt want the iphone or a blackberry. So i purchased the G705 for about $200. I love this phone more & more everyday. I had to write a review about it because even after dropping it into the toilet about 4 days ago, it WORKS! I have a 1GB m card in it, and it takes video for over 3 mins, and over 300+ photos. It has a bright flash light. Also voice recorder, video messaging and plays mp3s. The only things i do not like about this phone are the buttons are slightly too small, also the confirmation to send texts. These are small issues compared to the advantages this phone provides...

  • Thank you, I`ve upgraded the soft ware and U tube is working great.

  • how can i delete the theme? And why my wifi cannot see the picture?

  • sound quality ringtone------> average message-------> average speaker-------> average headset-------> good if your looking for sound quality there's W705 the same feature exempt in music player which definitely much better in terms of sound quality.

  • so , what about sound quality ?????????????????????? what cellphone do you offer ???????????? please help ......

  • I got this phone over 8 months now. Its a good phone so 2 speak wi-fi download is great. Less expectation on speaker, but if u put it in your headset difinetely owesome. Jus notice when i download or save music, etc.. In my memory, it will not respond. Rather abort the memory card then upgrade in the setting menu.

  • hum.. u r in sri lanka????????? all networks???

  • U just need to turn on your wi-fi(on your phone) then choose your wireless connection and connect. When the phone trying to connecting,it will automatically ask for the password.Type in the password and start surfing will your phone.

  • APPLICATION I am a user of the Sony Ericsson G705, i Bought it 5 months ago, but i had noticed that some other built-in phone application suddenly not functioning, such as calculator and Code memo, and the WalkmateTM. I really dont get the reason why it happen, i think it's becaeuse of the master reset? But I didnt even bother to click on in, there was a time that I had to use the calculator but suddenly it does not function. MEDIA The Video is nice but when I need to use it night, I really had a hard time to use it, even when I turned on the night mode. Its best to use it at daylight. MUSIC the sound is very clear when you plug-in your earphones, but when you unplug it, it becomes scattered(try to adjust it on the equalizer, it helps ;P) The video dj is a nice application, because when you need to make a Sound over Picture Project, you can use it immediately, but the only thing is that, its not that fast but its good. *Sometimes we just need to be contented on the phone itself, or we should just be observative and keen when we talk about the features of the phone, or what we can benefit from it depending on our demands. Thats all thank you folks..;P

  • earlier I reported about a cell info issue. Problem was with my 3G network. My 3G network does not broad cast cell info although 2G network does. So far so good... :)

  • i think there is something wrong with playing the caller name. its not working!

  • i just got it last week. when i hv checked for a SW update through phone settings but it says that im having the latest version. GPS needs little assistance from the network, reason may be lack of GPS signal strength!!????????????? (im living in Colombo, Sri Lanka) gud display!!! Nice PS type media!!! Wi-Fi!!!! fast surfing!! cam is OKKK..? all @ reasonable price!!!!!

  • Can i install voip software to this mobile

  • Is sound quality good?slow or loud?

  • This phone is really great. By default it's a solid, good phone with some little quirks. After a quick and easy firmware update with Sony Ericsson Update Service it all gets much better. Your phone gets faster, GPS gets better, in general, everything is perfect. GPS works fine (with and without connection), any app (including youtube) can work over WiFi, everything is just perfect! Now, if you're like me and you want a little more, you can do some hacks yourself aswell! With some little research it's easy to find how to enable chat-style message view and stuff like that on your phone! (se-nse.net is a good place to start!)

  • thanxxx im in colombo, sri lanka.

  • Audi?? are the Sliding mechanism little shaky in this phone???

  • Hi ncs93! Yes your g705 has megabass. go to option on on your mp3 and then select settings...equalizer and you'll see MEGABASS thereon.

  • You may download a doc viewer app @ www.mobiletoones.com. Copy and paste this:http://www.mobiletoones.com/browse/free-mob­ile-softwares/s47-sony-ericsson-softwares/f21234­-microsoft-office-viewer.html PS. if you are not satisfied with your media player, I suggest that you download WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER.

  • i'm now using this phone and i think the sound no clear and no loud.(@_@)

  • Recently i just bought a G705 . I found out that the ringing sound quality is not that great..i adjusted the volume to the highest level but the ringing is not very loud ....compare to my previous S500i..clear n loud. Why?

  • hi hendy, what the hell is happening to your phone? my g705 is seven-month old, and it's never hanged and rebooted for itself even there is a memory card inserted. i think you're the only g705 user who's encountering that problem. where did you buy your phone and where is this made in? honestly, mine is made in china, and i have to admit that those phones made in china, but original,are also good. It's just depending on how phones are being tested before a company releases them to the market. Not all mobile outlets are reliable in terms of products and services As a consumer, you still have to be wise and intelligent in choosing the best bet for you before purchasing it.

  • is silky gold color for men?

  • I have no problem with Open Networks, Or WEP Secure, And even WPA-Personal, My Problem is only with WPA-Enterprise. when iattempt to connect it tells unable to connect to the network and there is no fields for entering Username and Password (As you enter in laptop's Wireless connections).

  • ok dude. i will try to use it in a shopping mall. Yes @ my place, the internet is very slow. that's y i was telling that the phone is not good. Anyway thx 4 ur advice!!!

  • I just took back my phone yesterday 10th Oct 2009 in the afternoon, Sound very funny.. everytime i picked up my phone at your service centre, the phone seems ok for a while. but whenever i left ur service centre. the problem shows up again & again. Your technician told me this phone's s/w has been upgraded & the problem might be caused by my corrupted memory card & asked me to try the phone without insert memory card. I naively trusted him.. but what happened next?????!!! I was just on the way home, & my phone hanged again.. & it won't start anymore even i plugged in the charger & battery. It won't start... Everytime.. i didn't even insert any card yet.. the phone went hang again.. Another lie from sony ericsson. Total 3 times repair, nothing has repaired!!!!!!!!! U guys only waste my time & energy for 3months go back & forth to ur lousy service centre.. I'm totally disappointed... I'll recommend my friend to not buying such lousy products... You're unable to fix the phone but you u refused to replace me another phone. Only find excuses.. This so called "warranty" is only a way to drag customer's warranty time until it's over so that u can charge fee to your customer right? I think i better post more complaints.. --- On Sat, 10/10/09, [email protected] wrote: From: [email protected] Subject: Sony Ericsson Contact Center, Ticket: 85377673 To: darkmessanger Date: Saturday, 10 October, 2009, 8:19 AM Fun & Download MyPhone WebShop Support Dear Hendy, Thank you for contacting Sony Ericsson Customer Support (Singapore).

My phone got below issue : "My phone will suddenly hang when pluggin charger / when turning on wifi / when browsing using wifi/GPRS. After that, it won't be able to be powered on again at all" I've sent this phone to Sony Ericcson Service Centre at Isetan Orchard, 435, Orchard Road, 04-01 Wisma Atria for 3 times repair since May 2009. -1st time, they said firmware issue, updated latest firmware, but only 1 day after i took back my phone, issue re-occurred again. -2nd time, they said it's battery & IC component in board issue, they replaced it. I went there & took back my phone, yet. 1day after that, issue reoccurred again. -3rd time (current) : Name : Hendy Phone : +65 9467xxxx My Phone service Job no is : SGC-09-49258-001 PHONE S/N : SCB5116W5XJ IVR REF NO : 900991324 I called to call centre & ask what part they replaced, u know what did she say? She answered my phone is already ok, updated firmware. How could it be firmware again??? This is the 3rd time re-repair. I'm totally disappointed with this kind of quality service, I demand a phone replacement. But the customer service officer there said, they can't replace whole unit. If that's the case, they should settle my problem !!! This phone is still under warranty. Yet they can't solve my problem & repair my phone, they should replace the engine. If not, What's the meaning of Warranty? I'll post more complains, This phone's problem has been dragged > 3months with no satisfactionary results. Country: Singapore First Name: Hendy Last Name: .

  • I would like to ask if youtube is playable while using Wifi and if i use earphones to listen to music, will it be as good as the other walkman phones as i used the W350i before and its music was good. Is the music quality equal to W350i's quality?

  • it was the best phone i've ever have compare to the old ones. the keypad of the phone is working well and i can press it easily cause it's a little curved. i heard that t700 is good too so compare this phone to t700 which is a better one?

  • putah ka nag bongga ng ketai na ito kabog talaga

  • you can watch video depending on the strenght of your wifi connection. Spending extra money using 3g is not enough to use youtube.....just try using wifi connexion at some malls and you can now watch videos on youtube. In fact, i had the same prob as yours for the past 3 mos. but i realised that it's still counting upon the strength of your wifi connexion. Malls are very good sites wherein you can have strong wifi connexion. believe me, youtube is very fast....

  • you can't esily connect using wifi unless you have strong connection. Try to use your wifi at some malls, and you will be surprised that g705 has the fast connection. sometimes when you open your wifi you will see OPEN NETWORK AND SECURE NETWORK. and if you connect it says out of range it's because of some restriction, as i said earlier try using wifi at some mall wherein you can have strong wifi connection....no set up is required. believe me Try choosing FREE WIFI, mostly in some malls. and you can now watch video on youtube....goodluck I'm audi from phils. +639054594824

  • Hi Blanc, G705 has fast WIFI connexion...it only depends on the site. I have been trying my WIFI at malls, MOA in the Phils, and surprisingly, I can watch video on youtube very fast... believe me!

  • * Blanc You have no network coverage... this mobile it's only perfect.

  • This mob has a slow WIFI connection!!! it has a Good appearance. When using the web, it's very slow. when i go to the web, it does not connect with wifi but it uses my credit to go on the net!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Had this phone for about 10 months now,was working great until recently out of no where the buttons on the top part of the phone stopped working except for the power key,now I can't get it fixed since there's no se service center in my country,sigh

  • For it's price range, this is the best phone! :D I have no problem with this phone since I've started using it. I highly recommend this phone to anyone who is looking for a phone within its price range.

  • G stands for Generalization Web. Sony Ericsson G series phones are best in web services

  • G stands for Generalization Web. Sony Ericsson G series phones are best in web services

  • G stands for Generation. G series phones are for web generation and they are new series dedicated to Internet. My g705 has been working fine. I downloaded lots of apps which really make my phone very useful and nice. I never reboots for itself like other SE phones. For those who are wishing to enjoy their g705 to its fullest why don't you exert extra effort into this for you to indulge everything in it. You search for NFS using accelerometer and other games with applicable resolution for your phone. Opera mini black for free browsing Themes that are sought-after. Wallpaper and games with accelerometer. And lots more.... I promise you that you won't regret to have it.

  • Hi, I got it working now using WiFi. 'am not sure if selecting the local connection and GPRS connection in the streaming settings helped. neways, big thanks :-)

  • G stands for Generalization Web.

  • g stands for generaion internet

  • g stand 4 wt ?

  • Try using wifi. You should also have the streaming set-up if your using 3G/HSDPA connection. Mine is working fine on both connection, wifi/3G

  • yes this is very eazy to use and this price already have 3g+3.2mp+wifi it's a good phone i also offer your buy

  • check settings with ur service mobile provider

  • How can i re-size the font for message. Mine is quite bigger for its screen

  • I've use this for few months. Anyone having this phone and the keypad come off?i mean the material.

  • this is a great phone. I love almost everything about it, except for the following: - the plastic back cover is sturdy and not that reliable and i have dropped the phone accidentally 2 or 3 times; - the loudspeaker could've been better and i expected more from it. As for the rest, it's all wonderful and top-notch.

  • hello im having this creature for 5 month. i love it. its a appointed phone.n easy to use and stylish . reasonable too. i offer you to buy it.

  • Did SE G705 support Skype. In skype web side this model not mention as a supporting model. pls anyone having experience skype with model please send me a comment.

  • I ordered Sony Ericsson G705 at timtechs.com, got Chinese manual and other papers, the keypad is with Chinese signs, didn't get CD disk. I called them, but no way to help me. Just a play between a girl in USA (she answers from her apartment) and a guy in Hong Kong (name - Patrick). They would send me the CD and the manuals in English, but sorry, they don't have it on the stock. They won't replace me the cell phone with English keypad. I had to specify what keypad I want for USA market, otherwise they are sending Chinese one ?!?! I am a lucky guy, I could get Arabic one, even before English one. It looks for them more logically. They send their orders directly from Hong Kong, so you are risking some customs fees on the top that you already paid for the cell phone and the shipping. The worst scenario is a confiscated cell phone from US customs because FCC certification is missing. In that case everything is clear and simple; you lost all your money that you paid. If you want gambling spend your money for a trip to Las Vegas. You have more chance for a gain there; otherwise you will be ripped off in some way. They know how, guys from timtechs.com.

  • update ur firmware version.. mine is still working even i connecting to 3g..

  • if you've got enough money you should definitely go for the w715 ... it's far more better than both g705 and w705 ... if you don't have that much money then my suggestion is w705 cause of it's better build quality ... that's the only drawback on g705 "BAD BUILD QUALITY" :/

  • sometimes it hangs, especially when im connecting to 3g... it will hang and you cannot use it unless you take off the battery... it sucks... camera is not good other than that i love this fon

  • Hi Guys, Does anyone know how I can load video stream on the You Tube Application? I am using Smart network in the Philippines and so far it's giving me the "video interrupted" message...

  • To get the delivery report, u go to . hopefully this will answer ur question...

  • In my opinion, of course the K's phone will perform better picture than the G's. And of course the K's do have auto focus. It is built for better photo. Don't expect the G's photo better than the K's. The G's as u said have a superb browsing experience. That I agreed.

  • G705 is my third SE handphone after K610i and W890i. Simplicity and price is the right word why i stick to SE, and here is what my humble opinion about the phone, trust me: Cons 1) Camera picture is below par compared with other 3.2MB handphone. 2) Screen resolution is worst, not clear and looklike being covered with mist. 3) Sound is slow, and dont expect to talk using loudspeaker. Pros 1) Price (Malaysia Price - RM700 to RM750) 2) Look simple and neat design 3) Wifi I don't think i'll use this handphone for any longer, nokia 6600i slider is something need to ponder, though without wifi & HSDPA.

  • The Camera is worst... k750i have better camera with auto focus. but if you want superb browsing experience, you should try this phone...

  • i had this phone for 3 weeks now and it's doing great .. it has amazing features except the sound .. the sound is very clean and good but loooooow :(

  • Guys this phone is so very cool..all you need is here wifi,fast connection,listening music.. ow yeah...ive used it almost 2months and its works good.... i really love this phone.... Go to G705 no regrets for this phone

  • Could anyone tell me how to get a delivery report on sms in this phone.

  • this is not smartphone..but it capability same like smartphone. it have wifi. gud internet browser. actually this phone is designed for those who wanna surf internet at their phone.it have optical mouse when we surf internet..smartphone and proprietary phone not same but nowadays java platform built a good software like symbian software. smartphone have weakness coz it easy to infected virus like trojan, when infected a virus. it affected all phone system and make ur phone always hang and lagging when u wanna open folder or something. but normal phone like g705 are not affected and reacted with any kind of virus. it safe ur things n ur document. g705 have gud camera coz it used version 4. and those who wanna buy this phone dont hesitate to buy it coz this phone is awesome

  • Why are you trying to compare a normal phone with smartphone? It does not make any sense.

  • hi guys!!I am planning to buy this phone(G705)I see that the features are gud... so I am asking you if this is the right phone for me....is it gud or bad? TNX!!

  • After having a k750 and a k770 now i want to buy this one for its wifi and large display. is its camera good enough or it is blury? please answe. thanks in advance.

  • flash it to a w715. heheheh. took care of all my problems.... faster menus and walkman player...

  • N78 is better... Gps is better, battery lasts longer, has fm transmitter, etc...

  • OK thanks

  • i used to have the W810 i it is the best Phone you can ever have and even the camera is better than the G705 i really dont recomend this phone as i'll through it away and go back to my w810 it is much more better

  • this Phone is Very Bad after 1 month usage is become very very very very slow it saves all the contact that you ever receive or call so it load the phone with so much un important data wich lead to a slow motion use

  • It does not have a processor. It's not a smartphone, it runs on java platform.

  • does anybody know how to install a divx player on the G705?

  • what kind of processor does this phone have?

  • Hi Schuyler, Aside from the Walkman 3.0 and 4GB memory stick the W705 does not have A-GPS locator. But if you are into a phone that double as an mp3 player may I suggest that you test the sound quality of these 2 phones first before you take your pick.

  • I've got this phone for more than a week now (mine's the all black aka majestic black)it performed as well as expected. GPS and internet browsing works good here in Manila. WiFi is a godsend for browsing the internet for free. The camera is very good. My only gripe: speaker and headphone volume could've been more louder. My K750i is a couple of notch better when it comes to sound volume. Nevertheless G705 is a good phone for a its price.

  • file mngr options mark mark several/mark all

  • when i was in the process of buying the sales man told me that the one with the bigger camera is slow in responce and recomended the G705 and i am very happy with it and it is a nice phone.

  • what should i buy, this or w705? which has the better cam? what are the other difference of it to w705 aside from memory and walkman?

  • do the screen turn's black when we slide the phone? my old phone Nokia5610, every time's i slide the phone.... the screen turns black.... as in it is busted....and guess what... the problem started 1 day after the warranty ended.... it suck... so... do this phone have this problem ?

  • It is a great phone but i want to know what is the video format it supports? as i want to play video files on it.

  • i'm not sure which phone should i buy.. i'm battling between g705 or w705.. they are identical exept of the version 3.0 music player of w705 and its bundled memory card.. besides i like all black.. except that g705 has a... (is that a peach at the back?).. maybe i'll just get w715.. help out guys..

  • I love the phone!! so useful. Camera's ok, wifi's ok too. I use it a lot at SM for free wifi.

  • its a very nice phone!!! Can this phone read / write Chinese character ?

  • why would it connect to the internet every time i use the camera !

  • Im also using globe...I think the reason why we are experiencing slow speed because their network is already congested. I tried using my cousins mobile (3g) and the speed is good (and that is smart network).

  • where r u located? yes, it will be charged by your provider accordingly. here in the philippines, i'm using globe network and i subscribe to their browsing rate of 5pesos/15mins. browsing is ok, not so fast but im not sure if its because of the network or the laptop im using.. it doesnt have huge memory, im not sure if it has an impact to the speed of browsing. hope i answered your question.. happy browsing..

  • one more thing...i think its a stupid question, uhm...so,if im gonna use it as a modem...will it be charge by my provider or its free (hope i have free internet connection, lol)? in terms of browsing...how is it? is it fast? waiting for your reply...tnx! mwah! mwah!

  • thank you so much!

  • what is the real color of G705/G705u keypad? i see two colors so far.. the light one and dark one. is there any difference between G705 & G705u? please help, i need your comment/s. thanks

  • super phone..keypad friendly.color natural..nothing but praise..the best that is

  • be sure that you already received gprs settings from your provider.. then connect ur cp to pc (i used my usb) 1.then on the phone, go to connectivity>usb>usb network>usb network type>phone as modem>back>usb data accts>myGlobe INET 2.connectivity>mobile networks>gsm/3g networks>GSM and 3G 3.connectivity>internet settings>connect using myGlobe INET then check on your pc f the phone is already connected.. then try to open an internet browser.. and that's it... enjoy surfing.. hope i was able to help you...

  • Unless you want wi-fi w715 is better

  • hi tnx for yoour reply... i'm using usb cable... but still connection failure... do you think the network is the problem?

  • it using non simbiyan os..it using proprietary os. anyone who wanna gud phone n gud performance, highly recommended this phone to u all.. regards..

  • One more thing about battery life: If you don't need to make video calls, set the phone with the GSM band only, forget the UMTS unless you log on the net or you make video calls. With the "GSM only" setting, the phone require less power to work, therefore the battery life is going to be extended. Then to save some more battery power, use the black and white screen for the main menu, because the bright colours will cost more power, since the processor has to work harder and the brighter is the screen, the more power is needed...

  • In the past three days I used the Mp3 player for about 145 minutes total, I used the phone for a few calls for a total of 53', the Wi-Fi for about 10' and I sent about 20 sms. I turned the phone off during the nights. At the end of the third day I still had some battery power, about 15%, so it was time to charge. That was my test, I usually fully charge the phone when I go to sleep, in order to have a full battery the following day and doesn't bother me using the charger every day ;-)

  • i am looking for a cell having good wifi,camera and sound feature, confused between w705, g705 and w715(costly)..so would u guys plz help me ..

  • I have this message very time receiving a call "ciphering not provided by operator insecure transmission" what a hack, no way to disable this message search through the net. bad 0/10 is my verdict.

  • Thanks Mark for your answer i am wondering how many days the battery can stay without charging if only little use small calls no listening to music and just standby overnight. can it last for 4-5 days or not? and does really the silver colour of the buttons on the front panel easily fall? and does it really the keys are not durable thanks

  • Amm... U can't zoom while in 3mp cause it's the max resolution of the picture. The phone has Digital zoom and that means that it crops the picture so it looks zoomed. So use the 3mp for taking the picture so u can after zoom it on ur phone.

  • The first G-705 I had, had a bad slide, but it seems now they fixed the problem, because on the new 705 I bought, the slide is as good as a Nokia slide. The battery isn't that bad, but you have to charge and discharge it a couple of weeks in order to see better performances. Beside, I have a spare battery, which is so slim that can I carry in my wallet. Reception is good, so far. The keys on the front panel are kind of small, but after a while you get used to the lay out. If you want a light and small phone, with a lot of features, this is the best buy.

  • can i use garmin navi with this phone, it using what os symbian or java.. please help thank.

  • I am looking for a new mobile and i am stuck between the new Flip W 508 and G 705 i know they have some differences. has any of the owners of G705 experienced problems concernig the 1)slide. 2)battery 3)keys 4)ring sound and call quality . what is most important for me is: 1)a slim and little weight mobile 2)i don't want to experience problems with flip or slide., 3)battery and keys to be very good and comfortable and sustain for long time 4)ring sound and call quality to be ok 4)good phone memory to save many SMS your help is appreciated

  • Yes, the reception of this phone is good, i am using maxis too. I have no other problem with this model, accept battery lifetime and the slider wobble.

  • u cant compare g705 with e66 n smsung d900 and anything kind of phone..coz sony ericsson isnt nokia n samsung. that a fact.a lot different between e66 n g7o5.. moving track feature is only at walkman phone only....G series isnt support this feature, because sony ericsson have strategy n tactic to sell it phone at market..one more thing sony wanna differenciate between G series W series n KnC series...each phone have it specialities..i like this phone Coz it have all internet function and easy to work with my laptop. like me moving track isnt a big prob for me.

  • self also using this phone, 100% ok, no reception problems whatsoever. lynn: i think you bought a recond set, or you were conned by your seller

  • Hey, what is the button on the right side of the phone for? A camera or a music button?? Thnx I REEly need 2 knw, plz!!

  • i have no problem with the network at all. i am using maxis. the network reception so far it is better than my wife's n81 from which "lubuk" did u buy yur phone? come on guys will the real owners pls stand up!

  • the network of this phone is veeeeeeeeeery baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad

  • If you are writing here I guess you got the internet connection, don't you? That's the best place to look for the price of the phone!

  • I agree with you about the fact that the G705 primary feature isn't the media player, but come on, there are a lot of phones around, much older than the G705, like the Samsung D900 or the Nokia E66 that aren't walkman phones but have this simple feature of moving tracks within the playlist. I am not saying this is not a good phone because of the lack of this simple feature, actually I love it and I would buy it again, but I would like to have this feature of moving tracks around in the playlist into the next update of the software. It's just the way the software is made, it wouldn't require any hardware change. Another thing that is kind of annoying is the fact that I can't zoom with the camera if it is set on 3M pixel. That's weird.

  • hi, i already installed the pc suite however when im trying to connect it says connection failure.. any other settings i need?

  • we have the same problem... i've been calling globe since i bought this unit however until now i cannot use internet browser in this mobile.. the format they gave is not working i already tried it.. try to call them again and request a gprs setting. i think they dont have compatible setting for g705, what they will send is the nearest setting g700 i think so they cnt guarantee if it would work.. do you have globe line? or prepaid?

  • are there any Globe PH users here? i just want to ask how to setup the mms/gprs for this phone using globe? from what globe is replying back, the format is like this: GO ERICSSON G705,,1234 and send to 2951 but it's not working... it is possible that globe telecoms still has no support for g705? even in the myglobe website (using a PC), there are no downloads available for g705. can someone help me...please tnx

  • i just want to know this phone is supported flash lite or not

  • Is there anyone know why You Tube application isnt working since i bought it?

  • @ mark g705 isn't a walkman phone...only walkman phone can move a list of playlist

  • why my g705 cannot on9 it use the wifi.....need someting setup??? or my problem...can tell me how to use

  • hey wht is the price of this phone

  • Thanks, I know that I can add music to the playlist, but I was trying to find a way to MOVE tracks in the paylist itself, once added. If I add a track, it goes to the bottom of the playlist, but it seem there is no way to move it to another position, unless I delete all the other tracks, which is kind of silly to me...

  • @ mark to organize a playlist, u must go music mode > playlist> add music..thats all

  • u must install g705 pc suite to using ur phone as modem...after u install it, a pc suite teach u how u wanna connect a phone via what, via usb cable, via blutooth, or via infrared..so u choose which one...like me i connect via blutooth..its very easy...juz on blutooth at ur laptop n on blutooth at g705...so it can connect automatically...the only thing u must install pc suite 1st....regardsssss

  • if its not led flash, so what u called it? xenon flash o what? actually it same like led flash, coz a light at g7o5 made from led ( lite emitting diode)..but the different only when u use camera mode..it not blink like flash, but it on like torchlite...it function are same like led flash

  • bad when youtube has to run with gprs

  • Hi, I bought the G-705 to get rid of the Nokia E66, which has similar features but lose the signal quite often and it's too heavy, since I use the phone as MP� player while running. My question is: anybody knows how to organize a playlist? It seems that once the playlist has been created, there is no way to move the tracks in the playlist itself, while with any other phone I had, I could move tracks in the playlist. Thanks for your help!

  • cmon everyone, this phone means to people who like surfing (G = generation web). if u want good camera with a good flash go to K or C series.

  • you need to have the proper sim card for that. go to your service provider. like mine they only charge me 6$ a day whenever i use it on my laptop

  • hi, can you help me how can i use this phone as a modem in my laptop? tnx

  • If you're looking for a phone w/ great quality pics, don't buy g705... no auto focus, no led flash... once you take pics w/ even a little movement the picture taken was blurry... i hate that... i jst bought this phone and i was disappointed w/ the camera... and i find it hard to connect to the internet.. can somebody help me?

  • its just light on. obviously somebody wrote the specs wrong.

  • gotta admit, somebody wrote the specs wrong. its not led flash.. but still, the phone is quite awesome for its range.

  • yes it is for a fact. its not led flash, just light on. but its still a great phone.

  • So does the camera quality ok? and I've got an information saying that there is no flash, its only a light. So is this true? since that the specs saying there is a LED flash. Can anyone tell me ? cuz im planning to buy this maybe on next week.

  • hi can somebody help me? how can i use this phone as a modem in my laptop? tnx....

  • Good luck with your Nokia, i had only nokia before. freezing all the time. nokia is only a toy for kids.

  • forgiveness, it doesn't have a flash its just a light on...

  • narcissus u mean to say g705 does not have flash? its jst a light on? why in the specs it says led flash?

  • hi reca, i jst have a question bout the flash.. is it jst a light on or it will b brighten once you click the shutter? jst boughht it and i dnt know if its normal that it seems like there's no flash at all.. not good quality pics and its blury.. no movement at all is needed to capture slightly good pics..

  • dear aj. to turn on the wifi would be the easiest thing on the phone's function. go to a place where wifi is available, like McD.. and just turn it on you can straight away start.. like eating cake.. no setting is required.

  • hi, st bought g705.. i'm not satisfied w/ the quality of pictures.. and i have a question about the camera.. is it really a led flash or jst light on? when i used it its jst a light unlike other se led flash that blinks when you take a picture.. is it normal or should i return it? i need your ans asap because i need to return it w/n 3 days...tnx and also how can i set up the gprs settings?

  • dear 'trust me' ive been using this phone too, and so far i havent yet to face any problems. its built in tight and the keypad works just fine. it has a few little kinky but then, nothing is perfect. for its price its really worth the money considering all the features. if you want something superb, why dont you just buy SE satio.. i mean, you cant expect to have the same luxury for only $559 right? stop being such an..

  • I had the phone for 3 weeks, and during these 3 weeks, it was in the service centre for 1 and 1/2 weeks! The phone�s built is sub par and it is very defective! The phone wobbles a lot when you are typing! Unlike the dummy one on display which is built solid. And it actually emits creaking and cracking sounds when typing as the plastic cover behind is not fitted neatly with the phone�s body! Navigation keys dont respond, or slow to respond when I depress it, making it a real FRUSTRATION. I send the phone in for repair after 7 days of use. Then 2 days after I got it back from the service centre, the screen went blank on me with lines running on the top. I asked for a full refund or exchange to another model. The service centre then went quiet without responding to my email. One week later, after I keep pounding them with emails the support service flattly rejected my request. They say that they can only give me another new G705. Oh my god! I dont want another problematic new phone! Since it IS THE SAME DEFECTIVE MODEL! But they gave me no other choice. I received the new replacement another week later as they say they dont have stock! Can you believe it??? I bought it for S$559 and I had to sell it at $370!!! After just over 1 month, I had lost so much! It goes to show the G705 has no market value, full of flaws and their service support is way below standard! I will never buy another Sony Ericsson product again. I have a much much better experience with Nokia Service Centre. From now on, all my phones will be Nokias or Samsungs. NEVER another SE phone again!

  • jst bought g705.. i'm not satisfied w/ the quality of pictures.. and i have a question about the camera.. is it really a led flash or jst light on? when i used it its jst a light unlike other se led flash that blinks when you take a picture.. is it normal or should i return it? i need your ans asap because i need to return it w/n 3 days...tnx and also how can i set up the gprs settings?

  • great phone apart from the camera, which is terrible, and the internet. i sat RIGHT next to my wireless modem and tried to browse with wifi, and waited 10 minutes for hotmail to load, and finally gave up. nothing loads w/ wifi.

  • can somebody tell me how to run the youtube thru wifi? please? i could use some help

  • in malaysia it will cost you around rm750. its worth the money. a lot of features for its price.

  • you think you re so great huh? my foot you can run the you tube thru wifi.. what proof do you have? you dont even know the phone's spec.

  • faridul Hassan. The k850i is bulky and very heavy, if you want to take nice pictures get the k850i, if you prefer the portability with nice slim design and excelent silde/keyboard get the G705. The pictures with the g705 is good, check some reviews with sample pitures.

  • the keypad spoils very easily.....i recommend not to buy it.

  • I want to buy G705. Plz tell me about this mobile's sound quality and picture quality...which 1 is better? k850 or G705???? plz tell me as soon as possible..I'm going to buy next week....

  • wat about the os.is it symbian uiq or not

  • nope it doesnt work... jologs cia kc wla pa tau navigation system sa pinas

  • Tiger: read the specifications or the post 2009-07-03 19:50

  • i have been using this phone for a few months and i really love it. however i have been wondering.. although the camera is 3.2mp.. the picture quality is really lousy especially at night. does anyone else faces the same problem?

  • Hi guys, please answere my question: Does it have autofocus??? i love this phone and if it does have autofocus, i'm defenetly buyin' it

  • Yes, you can use youtube with wifi, you can use every aplications with wifi but there is a bug: - First you have to create a "false" 3g profile with Apn xyxy or something and after you can connect with the wifi. It took long time to I figured it so keep in mind. I've upgrade dit from k750i (i had more mobiles like n82 samsung etc but i always got back to my k750i) The G705 is very good mobile, it has very good sound quality and design. It can be upgraded to W715 but the Application icon will be replaced by the Walkman icon, so if you like to use applications easly i don't recommend the upgrade. The G705 has the same walkman feature but without SenseMe and Shake Control. Recommended free gpa apps. -GPSED -Trekbuddy The camera has no autofocus so forget the macro fotos but it takes really nice shots.

  • this not symbian phone..this proprietary phone..this phone suit 4 who often use wifi...it also have gps n agps..

  • how to use the wifi in this phone... it would ask for some settings to be installed

  • how to use its wifi?? it would ask to install some settings.. i havent use the wifi in this phone

  • hello partner im planning to buy this phone but i just want to know first what is the operating system for this stuff,is it microsoft windows or symbian?

  • this is the best phone i ever have. i used for 2months now and it stil woww. Its have a goodd prossecor. cause its never hangs,infact i use 8 Gb M2 card with 7,1Gb Loaded with more then 2000 songs, 432 videos, 200++ application and Games(some 3D), and a lot of my life pictures inside, plus document and it still work fine like use 1 Gb card. Try to upgrade your phone software and the media player wallpaper will change as your desktop wallpaper and it more stabil. GPS works fine and its forever use not like nokia that can only use for 3 months and you must pay for the used. Camera is fine, its just lack autofokus and makro mode, thing that i dont like is the camera flash is not brigth as w700i that use 2 flash.

  • so is it G705 worth to buy?? how it camera quality? v clear output?

  • This is the best phone i ever had. It has awesome camera, wifi, quality, and youtube. Im using this phone right now to post this opinion.

  • bull, u can't get wifi for free.

  • Does the Wayfinder Navigator works/functions here in the Philippines?

  • it's a nice phone overall.. i've been using it for about 4 months,, for that long i've never found any trouble yet.. i'm so happy to use it.. but the only problem is my youtube can't work!!

  • You're wrong,my brother has this phone,and it plays YouTube with a WiFi connection for free.

  • Is the picture quality from this phone great? g700 or g900 is 5mp but the picture is blurry. thanks

  • what ur prove that u said g705 screen is smaller than w910?

  • i was going to buy this phone... but i took the n78 instead no regreats.

  • The screen is smaller than W910i.. This is not 2,4 inch..

  • Im also got a problem with g705 battery. Only 1day used need to charge again. but after change the network to gsm my battery life can go 2days. What you need to do if normal use without browsing internet pls set to gsm only.

  • y the battry drain so fast? Becoz it screen 2.4 inch n it battery is 950maH. so stop whining!! If u wanna long lasting battery go to w880i.

  • does anyone know if the forward facing camera can be used for video chat in ym or msn chat?

  • Hmm..Just bought this phone last week, is about RM760. Is consider quite cheap for a phone with Wifi & GPS. Everything looks find from the beginning but after 3days of usage problems start to appear, like there is few times my phone is right beside my workstation but without anyone calling me (my phone do not even rang!) and I received msg from Maxis saying tat there are few miss call from who who..?? huh? then I tried to call back but failed, i cant even press the button...(=.=). Then..i switch off, take out my sim card, wipe it, put it back and switch on again.(thought is my sim card problem)But still cant make any calls...?? luckily I did not trade in my old phone,tried to use my old phone to make calls, no problem at all!!Tried the sim card back to G705 again then it is back to normal..WTF!!Cause thought of throw back the phone to the dealer. Now, still cant find out what makes it cant call out,but everything work smooth already... Battery arr..hmm...previously im using GSM&3G network and battery run out very fast, can only last for 1 day+.But recently i change to GSM network, it can last for 3days+.. thats all i can share, cause the phone is still very new.

  • Okej..it isn't a touch screen...but what about the other buttons/keys ?? You know. keys like 1 2 3 * etc ???

  • I just got this phone 3 days ago, its working as good as expected. It is worth to buy this phone for someone whom needs average WIFI and GPS. WIFI with almost full featured internet browser, able to surf a webpage properly. But its kind of slow on the phone browser. But it works well with OPERA MINI, it will smoothen the browsing experience. GPS works good. You can disable assisted GPS, so it will not cost extra $$ to your phone bill. But it will still need to access internet through WIFI or its own internet (which needs $) when using google maps or any other maps. I found a glitch. When i was playing music on the earphones, my music keeps automatically stop playing due to the front buttons randomly being pressed in my pocket. Which is irritating. Hope sony ericsson could do something about soon. Because when many buttons is pressed, the screen lights up, and stop your music while keypad locked. Its been 3 days since i got this phone and it started hanging and restart itself since day 2. Because of some unknown bugs in WIFI and multi-tasking. I use a lot wifi and multi-task a lot. Other than that, this phone is perfect for me.

  • dis phone isnt touch scree

  • Since this phone have built-in GPS device and so support Garmin XT mobile or not? Any one try?

  • Hej..so I wanted to ask...is it a TOUCH screen? Are the buttons working with PUSHING/PRESSINg them or you just have to touch them???? PLs someone answer me..pls pls..it is important..pls..tnx in advance

  • overall dis phone is nice,but it material easy to scratch especially at navigation pad..i dont know why s.e like that..perhaps s.e can improve the material technology..if it material easy to scratch the people doesnt have a feeling to use this phone.

  • in addition, battery easy finish(charge everyday).

  • i have use the phone for 6month. everything is running ok. however, sometime it will hang too.. advantage -nice UI -simple to use -loud sound when phone ringing -wifi -easy typing keypad disadvantage -gps need internet support -camera no auto focus, so is not that clear when view in pc. -speaker is not that nice. -material easy scratch(navigation pad, silver side)

  • this phone is better..you tube use gprs.not wifi..this phone have tracker at application.

  • I am planning on buying the g705 but I would like to know from those who have this or used the phone, How high does the ring tone go?

  • Why do you say that?? i mean there should be good reason rite. I want to know because i plan to buy it..........

  • dont buy this pho this got many problem

  • This phone has the same build that of w705 right? But obviously they don't have the same screen sizes. I've seen both models and compared it. G705 has obviously smaller screen. Is it a typo error on gsmrena spec sheet, or sony ericsson is really marketing it with 2.4' inches? It's very misleading. I'm from the philippines. From the photos on gsmarena page, the screen is big but from what i've actually seen, it's not that big. It looked like a 2.2-inch dislay.

  • Does anybody knows why Sony Ericsson phones are always made in china?I have never seen a "made in Europe" S.E phone before.I think this might be the only reason why S.E batteries doesn't last for long.Not even two days without charging it.What do u think guys?

  • nice phone..but cant compare w705..

  • Hi, i've got a problem with my unit. I don't know if it is the battery that has a problem or the unit itself. The battery life is really low, like really really low. I just bought this phone the other day. And the battery was drained when i woke up the next morning.Last night before i went to bed i looked at the percent of the battery and it is still 56%, when i woke up I was surprised to find that it got down to 21%. I just bought this phone the other day. And the battery was drained when i woke up the next morning. What do you think is the prob?

  • restart ur phone

  • it sounds are loud and nice to hear,coz it have megabass speaker..actually this phone is package..like coffe 3 in 1..coz this phone have walkman phone feature..thats y it sound nice.

  • w902 use 5 mp camera,and g705 use 3.15 mp..off course w902 have better camera..but overall g705 camera can be trusted.

  • so far i always use sonyericson phone like : K530i K618i now K630i before i have sony, i have nokia : N5610 N6120 Classic these phone so slow(lagging),if i use themes phone i think G705 is a good phone with : Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g, DLNA HSDPA 2100 2.4" screen Accelerometer sensor for auto-rotate YouTube application Stand-by Up to 400 h Talk time Up to 10 h ->but i heard the handsfree isn't good when u play with megabass. sounds strange. but i want to know how about the speaker sound?? can anyone answer this

  • How good its sound???

  • N78 had small keypad, u will hard to use that. but G705 had soft keypad. how about G705 speaker????

  • You know what, i think i'll get these phone only, and i'm not careless but once in a blue moon the phone drops, hmm, tough choice, i love sony, but n95 is not too bad either...arghhhh never mind, will get these phone.....yeah anyways hows the sound quality of these phone.......

  • Good day. Hows the display of this phone? Is the contrast/image quality comparable to that of W902? Thanks.

  • if u wanna to campare g705 n n95,of course n95 win...i dont know g705 can stand or not if it fallen..if u want a heavy duty phone just go to c702..yeah that a rite choice dude..c702 is water resistant,anti shock anti dust.i guaranty that phone is suit 4 careless person like u..g705 is fragile..cant stand if it slam to floor or something hard.

  • I heard its made of plastic. My Last k750i fell a few times and guess what. it worked perfectly fine.....how about this....i know its a phone not a tank but if it does fall then does it shatter into pieces....i love it, thinking of getting it...comparing n95 with it. I want wifi and good sound quality, and yes no lagging( cant tolerate)lol

  • it depends on ur need..if u want slider phone go to g705,.like i said b4 it have all functions like gps and wifi..if u want bar type,go to n78..n78 have 128 mb ram which it not easily to hang..n78 also run smbian os which mean u must learn how to manage it,coz it more like pc..n78 have document viewer,and can extract zip file,.now its up 2 u to decide.

  • better g705 than n78, cause g705 non os (java), n78 symbian os sofware. i don't like phone with software symbian os cause if you have to many application & you open it by the same time. several phone will be hang & lagging. not for phone with software non os (java).

  • Which is better, Nokia n78 or SE G705?

  • wifi speed so amazing..it used 802.11b/g. Same spec like laptop wifi..it have a gud internet browser coz it used netfront to surf internet..strongly recommend u to buy this phone..it sound so nice and smooth..i using n82 and g705,but g705 easy to handle and carry coz it weight very light if compare to n82.

  • this phone is okay..have gps,wifi,geotagging camera.have 2.4 inch screen...doesnt hang and lagging.

  • g705, w705,715 have same hardware..but w995 have a different hardware..coz it use 8mp camera lol.

  • G705, W705, W715, W995 is there any hardware difference between these cellphones? I guess not, it's just software difference isn't it?

  • I'm really keen on buying this phone. Sadly its not available in Sri Lanka yet. Can anybody recommend this phone, as I'm going to buy it without seeing it!

  • marcus the video format of this phone is 3gp

  • Hello everybody.. i plan to buy this phone.. i want to know is this phone is really good and how the wifi perfomance? is that same like laptop or slower?

  • Great phone, good for business. Only issue I have is lagging during menu and contact listing at random periods. When it works it works beautifully, when it lags it lags annoyingly.

  • May i know this phone can support what video format ? avi ? wmv ? mp4 ? or what ?

  • i think u r a girl. right?? so, i was mistakenly called u dude.. hehehe... u need good sound quality. right?? these r the fones.. w705 - most expensive w980 - cheaper w595 - cheaper w910 - cheapest up 2 ur choice :)

  • dude.. is w850 still sold in the market?? i dont think so. coz it was released in 2006..i think it is quite old, if u compare it to w705. of course everyone will say w705.. :) w705 is very2 worth it.. the price is quite affordable.... if u want the cheaper one for now.. w980.. im using it for 6 months.. very nice... very reliable.. audio, got best award of clear audio experience in 2008..

  • ohh okay..i wasn't aware G705 was a business phone. heh. so okay, that leaves me to ponder on W850 & W705. help? hahah! but seriously, is W705 worth it? cause i'm gonna have to stick with the phone for at least 2yrs before i can get a new one and i really want one that'll last me and is worth it. ;D so people please - W705 or W850? ;D and anyone knows how much these phones are selling in Singapore?

  • wifi signal is resonable. watching Youtube video is a breeze ,quite laggy when accessing the menu in the phone. overall this phone is a Jack Of all trade

  • if ur choice is g705 n w850.. definitely, g705... but, if u prefer music, w705 or w980.. music is awesome.. g705 is for bussiness..

  • hello, i'm a student and am thinking of finally getting a new phone aft 2yrs with my nokia5700. currently, i'm left to compare the SE G705 with the SE W850i since my previous choices were canceled aft reading the reviews about them. (e.g : C902, G900) so which phone (G705 or W850i) would be better for me? i need a smooth-going phone with satisfying music & photo/video quality. and also easy-to-use! ;D oh. anyone knows the current prices for these 2 phones in Singapore? do reply! (:

  • oh no...im so supid la..i should do survey the price b4 i buy it..T.T..but dis hp is really cool..n i like it so much..grin..^^

  • ahm...this phone is really cool.. Ive been using this in two months now,, I bought this in a very cheap price but the features are quite amazing compare to other phones that you have to spend a lot to experience their amazing features..hahahaha... theres just this one thing that i've never tried out... the gps coz we dont have any connections here in the philippines...

  • nope..it covered with hi-tech fiber glass.. it not easyly to scratch

  • does the screen scratch easily.......

  • is there a way to use GPS without going through internet connection? if yes, what firmware do i need??

  • i think the more better is G705 because all my customer never complain before and just say how good only

  • the phone will only unlock if u push up the screen... otherwise, everything is locked... tis phone look solid and just will b lag when u trying to search for contact number when wanna send msg...

  • the indicator of light will not blink, but is to adapt(sensor) the environment of brightness... u may try it... go under a light and the backlight on the screen will be more brighter...

  • is this cellphon unlocked?

  • g705 / w705 which one is better?

  • Does anyone know what the indicator light (rear of the phone on top of the camera) is for? I haven't seen it light up or blink or anything. Thanks!

  • u can check it here

  • sure... very sure.. just kill the salesman.. i bought w980 3 days ago.. for rm940.. ori.. both fone have a bit same level of price for now. g705 is more expensive a bit..

  • hey..i jz bought it about 2 days ago in penang(butterworth)..i bought with Rm930-ap..its expensive or cheap?..i had survey on the net after i bought it n i found tat its is more xpensive(others jz show RM800=850 only) than i expected..m i fooled by salesman???

  • To Liz,, if you've already download d game, then move it to ur phone. all u have to da is go to da organiser then file manager then find where u saved d game on, then u just make a click on d game n choose install. if u still don't understand u can ask me right away

  • Yeah I use an unlocked version of the g705 in the USA. works perfect. Great phone, smooth OS, fast connectivity, decent camera, looks classy. Only downfall that it seems fragile. Highly recommend a LCD protector or a good case.

  • at ipoh now rm800

  • I own this phone for about 2 months.. 1st, sound quality is quite nice.. Though its kinda loud but it doesnt affect the sound quality of it..(You'll get shocked once you worn handsfree to listen song in megabass) 2nd, the quality of camera is very clear except in the dark, although it's just 3.15mp.. guess flash would be better than lights.. 3rd, wifi connection is very fast!!(watch youtube nvr stuck bfore) 4th, the keypads are very smooth to press with.. 5th, the outfit designs of the phone is perfect, for me :) It's a slim and cool handset.. The only thing i dont really happy with it is the phone kinda laggy.. But it would be ok if you dont click too fast^^ hope my oppinions helps..

  • turn on the wifi of ur phone and wait for searching connections.. those available wireless connections will be listed in few seconds, juz select one of them and press connect.. tats all, enjoy the wifi of ur G705..

  • no,but it is quadband. Plus thinking of buying it as a replacement to Sony embarrassment of the z525 &z520..went thru twelve of those phones between my line and a second line on the account. the Z 520, 525 and any other Z phone are worthless. do not spend your money on any of sony's Z phones. I love the look of the G 705 and I have no quams about it working on At&T since it is quadband.. Goodluck with your phone purchase.

  • you are a businessman, and i am a spiderman.. a real businessman will use a blackberry, not a a fake business phone that being used by a businessman wannabe.

  • iv had this phone for about... 2 weeks im in love with it. im a full time student and its handy, the light sensor does not burn my eyes out,when i look at the screen in the morinig for my alarm like my previous phone s500i, the camrea is quiet good as well. the music is pretty good. the bass on the phone is also very very nice just the rite amount of bass not to soft not to loud. all in all this is a good phone! id recommend it if you want something sleek and sexy, easy to work with. though its a bit laggy but i just move very very fast.

  • poor build quality- wobbly slider, navi pad feels terribly cheap and the silver paint on it comes off very fast

  • I am a businessman who is alsways on the move. All I need is a phone that's tough, easy to use, flexible, slim and light (I carry two phones) I own the G705 for about a month now as replacement for my horrible C902. The G705 is much better than the C902 in every department, even it's 3.2mp camera is clearer and better than the so-called 5.0mp found in the C902. The key pad is great for typing sms, even when I was driving (kids, don't do this at home). The piano black around the big screen surface is cool and the kind-of rubberized surface at the back is great for occasional rough use. The wi-fi + mobile gmail(downloadable)is fanstatic tool to get connected with the rest of the world. There are only two things I wish it could have been improved or made. Firstly, the center of the nevigating key, which is the same height level as the direction pad, making it difficult to press. Second, I wish it has a dual-sim version. Otherwise, it will be the perfect phone for me!

  • i need a very niceee,,.. superbly extraordinarily good sound through headset... is it gud??

  • GO get this one g705.slim,powerful,stylish,great ba3,sweet resolution bt,if u need a semi computer go get d nokia.

  • im in the price range of below 400 dollars and im in a toss-up between this phone the nokia e51 and the nokia n78....they all have gps and wifi and are all below 400 dollars. Which one do you think i should buy?

  • You Should buy dis one!!!

  • I've just bought this phone for 3days. Cuz my dear said its stylish and suits me alot.. Its true. Its thinner and not that bulky as my previous k800i. and d screen is nice 2.4inches, looks cool..

  • for me, sound is the 1st.. so, ill choose w705.. it comes with one of the best phone headset currently (hpm 77) g705 looks more bussiness.. w705 looks more teeanger.. i think . hehe...

  • wat is d cost of dis phone?

  • guys!!!this is one of the best phones i ever used, how? i'll tell u!!well for the last three month ive beeen lookin for a phone cuz i killed my p990i(was nice phone by the way)so i bought nokia's 5800 and its not that cool the camera is bad it cant stop hanging all the time and the killing problem so i got rid of it i bought an n85 and it was a catastrophic phone the buttons needs a wrestler to press its like doing push ups with ur finger not a good music phone the sound is to low in the headphones kind of slide mechanism sucks its not easy to open, then i went to samsung f480 touch its a cool phone but you get tired of seeing the same menu over and over again (no themes) plus there is no wifi the music is not good neither, then my last hope was to flip to sony ericsson well thumbs up for this phone its really great my be camera is a drawback but still its way better than 5800, nice animations, wifi and on top of that its easy to use maybe buttons are tricky sometimes but i love it and it went easy on my wallet too not like n85 or samsung, so if ur thinking of buying this phone dont think twice.

  • check both mobiles rating....

  • i'm stuck and need help. I like the G705 for the looks and keypad and that it has a full black version and that it has GPS and it is cheaper than the W705 but I also like thw W705 for the music features but dislike the keypad Can somebody point me in the right direction?

  • buy G705.. u wont regret...

  • Can anyone tell me whether I should buy a G705 or G900? Thanks.

  • Eventually bought the phone!!! Lovin' it! Nice sound, good wifi connection, somethings little slow ( but maybe i'm too fast :p)

  • so hw bout the gps...? can the gps support garmin data?

  • w series are d best.. nothing else.. noo doubt. nobody can compare.. nobody can judge.. walkmannnnnnn

  • Dear anybody who happens to know: does this phone have document viewer?

  • it is not a good phone always hanging

  • Yea right G is for Generation Web. This line of phones are mobile web or web enabled phones. I love this phone even it doesn't have OS, I can still download application. It can still support like those that I needed and wanted like the Fring for instance. Well thanks for the JAVA it helps. I maximize the feature of it and I will goin to expand the memory until 4 Gig so that I can atleast download a movie or series from YouTube.

  • Well u probably downloaded Fring that is text only version. Voice call is not supported for that. The same to me that the only Fring that I used on my G705. It's just okay actually though there are times u really need to talk to express everything unlike text way only.

  • In other store it costs PHP15990 but I bought it only for PHP12816. That amount has discount already since I bought it cash. Discount is 5%.

  • I had been using this phone for about 2 months. It never hang or jam before. I love this phone cos the price is reasonable and all the functions in this phone are moderate. Not to the extend of perfect but all are usable and can work well. It is very user-friendly. Easy to navigate. Since it's a G series, it focuses on web as G stands for "Generation Web" if i am not mistaken. But the only bad thing about this phone is - it doesnt have auto-focus in the camera. Taking picture during daytime is great but not at night. The sound is great. Walkman is great, too. The best part for me is - the outlook. It looks classy and gorgeous, aint it? :P Hope my comment helps.

  • What I mean is that when you take pics @ night w/no lights at all, the photo light can't support the outcome of the pics. Unlike f you used flash even with no lights @ all, u get better result. Since I love this phone mostly the web capabalities of it I just wait or maybe buy an accesories like flash to b attached on my phone. We just don't know maybe their might b software update for the camera feature. P.S.: I'm actually using my G705 to go to this site and replying for this message.

  • wad u mean cant take pic at nig ?

  • I just bought this unit last March 20 I supposedly buy G900 but the store runs out of stock so I decided to go w/G705 since it fits to my budget also. I like it actually. The features are all current but the only thing is I can't take pictures at nights. U can't really see anything if u do pic on it even if u "photo fix" it. I know that I'm not looking for features like the Cybershot but I'm not complaining even it doesn't have autofocus. Just this minor dissapointment only that instead of photo light it should be atleast flash to have atleast a nice result.

  • It's a good phone and it's cheap here. It cost about $498.00 (in brunei) and though the MP is only 3.15, it sure beats nokia's MP. Resolution not so good. This phone is superb and it's worth every cents rather than nokia. I have N81 and it sucks so bad. It turns off automatically. And it's not 3.5g and worse of all the megpix is only 2MP. I had w910i before. Though it's 2MP but the quality of the pic is superb. Trust me.. this fon is the BEST!

  • is there anyone experienced automatically shut down the screen of G705 after clicked the turn off of wifi and after that the screen automatically sign on or power on?please help me because I encountered the said prolem to my 2 days old G705...thank's

  • i downloaded fring, but it seems it doesn't support voice calls. does anyone know how to solve this?

  • Hey Guys... Can someone tell me whether we can download the VOIP services like fringe or any in G705?

  • Going to buy this phone..; good idea? Or W705 better?

  • Only white lights?No other color lights?

  • Yup.. keypad have white light. Nice phone, just bought it last week. Price reasonable with lot of friendly user functions. If want to hear music better use earphone.. speaker not so loud. If use earphone sound quality superb with megabass.

  • i just gotone. it can expand up to 4 gigs only. but it's a great internet phone.

  • my phone's youtube is can't working.. anyone, please tell me how to work it on? thx so much..

  • I want to ask something about this phone.You know , most of the phones have lights on their keypads.Does this phone have lights on their keypads? Well , I ask this because based on this picture and other picture , there are no lights on this phone keypad.So I need to make a confirmation before I buy it.

  • I was looking at the G705 and i browse through nokia phones and i spotted the E71.Putting these 2 phones to comparison.Which is better.(the scale is already dipping on the SE side for me but im jus asking)

  • I have this f0r abwt a m0nth n0w and itz w0rking s0 gr8! The batt life i go0d, the gprs and 3g are w0rking neatly, the best f0ne i have s0 far. N0 pr0blems abwt this unit. Keep it up S.E.!

  • I had the phone for 3 weeks, and during these 3 weeks, it was in the service centre for 1 and 1/2 weeks! The phone's built is sub par and it is very defective! The phone wobbles a lot when you are typing! Unlike the dummy one on display which is built solid. And it actually emits creaking and cracking sounds when typing as the plastic cover behind is not fitted neatly with the phone's body! Navigation keys dont respond, or slow to respond when I depress it, making it a real FRUSTRATION. I send the phone in for repair after 7 days of use. Then 2 days after I got it back from the service centre, the screen went blank on me with lines running on the top. I asked for a full refund or exchange to another model. The service centre then went quiet without responding to my email. One week later, after I keep pounding them with emails the support service flattly rejected my request. They say that they can only give me another new G705. Oh my god! I dont want another problematic new phone! Since it IS THE SAME DEFECTIVE MODEL! But they gave me no other choice. I received the new replacement another week later as they say they dont have stock! Can you believe it??? I bought it for S$559 and I had to sell it at $370!!! After just over 1 month, I had lost so much! It goes to show the G705 has no market value, full of flaws and their service support is way below standard! I will never buy another Sony Ericsson product again. I have a much much better experience with Nokia Service Centre. From now on, all my phones will be Nokias or Samsungs. NEVER another SE phone again!

  • Can anyone tell me if I can run google maps/latitude and run it in the background (multi task). I need a phone for my son.

  • worth buying? yes/no? why?

  • If I was a touch screen I won't hesitate a second and exchange my G900 against it but now I don't know if it's a good choice. :(

  • i guess you're either unlucky or bullshitting. i have been using this phone for over 3 months, and all i can say is that it is literary awesome. nokia sucks, and so does samsung!

  • yes you can download oxford dictionary on it, you just need to go to sony ericsson download page from your phone, and download it, and it will cost you around 6 dollars

  • How Much do those money icons mean?

  • Can anybody tell me if i can install a navigation application in order to use gps without is essential the use of gprs.

  • To play Youtube, you need internet connection. G705 can be either connected thru your telecomm provider (GRPS/3G) OR wi-fi.

  • This phone is generally great and awesome considering the money you paid for. I love its Wi-fi & GPS. Just that the camera cannot even beat my previous phone K800i - it has no autofocus. If it is equipped with autofocus, I will give it 10/10. =)

  • Can enybody tell me wether I can install dictionary programm in G705 despite the fact that it doesn't have OS?

  • how to play youtube? pls help me ....

  • I've just buy this phone 2 days ago, and I really enjoy to use it.. It awesome!! But anyone can tell me how to change the font colour, coz the font colour is white and the bg also white..

  • yes it have flash theme... :)

  • - is there flash theme? ( like that in w705 )

  • i want to ask you all about g705 speaker? is it loud? or not? please answer....

  • it works wit opera mini 4.2 flawlessly

  • In my opinion, this is a well balanced phone for an average user. WIFI comes in handy and phone feels good. Just the lack of autofocus but thats why I have a Sony camera for. Pleased with phone

  • i jz bought tis G705 for few day. recently i quite satisfy with this hp. no problem n comment... jz the GPS i don knw how to use it. i like tis hp which is light n gt WI-FI connection. the outlook design look nice oso... just 1 small weakness is the speaker is put at the back and the sound of music cant compare with W type. Camera is 3.2mp but cant compare with Nokia 5800... 5800 more clear... anywer..i stil love tis hp for my personal use. it a nice hp.

  • Hi Aya! I saw one at MOA Cyber Zone it's P12,800.

  • The best phone for now.

  • I've been looking all over for the G705a that will work on T-Mobile and AT&T 3G networks. Did you get that version from TimTechs? Or did you install new firmware to get it to work? Or maybe it does not work with the 3G?

  • This is simply cool. Sound Quality, Picture Quality and look is osam. This is superb phone in this Range. Not any compitator for this.

  • ur phn must hav a faulty mother board.

  • can it work with opera mini 4.2? thks..

  • does the front panel get scratched easily? please reply

  • just bought one of these from timtechs.com came from a small island in the east and shipped real fast. The phone is great on the ATT network. I changed the internet settings to work and the wifi is a real nice feature. Call quality is super and camera is a little better than the one on my w760a with the flash. screen is bright and big and battery life decent when you turn the screen brightness down a bit. love the step counter program that can run on the desktop. Sound is loud and clear from phone and bluetooth even being 30 ft away. gps with google maps is great. The only thing is wish it supported is the skyfire web browser because a lot of sites use flash and without skyfire flash is useless.

  • IS the best phone

  • got this phone, it's great. i love it much. if you find issues with yours, try to tweak the settings a lil bit and just maybe there's an option to improve performance. nice phone.

  • i'am gonna buy this phone nxt week... it's just too cooooooooooooooooool:D

  • is this phone going to be sold through rogers/fido/etc network?

  • wifi is not working,it can not find the networks,just keeps on showing "searching" can anybody advice on this.battery life standby-1 day and talktime is 20mins sony ericsson are such liars this was the last sony i bought

  • format the m2 card first

  • yeah you can!!! just go to ebuddy.com

  • Can I use the GPS without connecting to the network provider (through GPS only)??

  • anyone,just help T.T

  • I am just waiting for another G-series mobile which specification and design just like G705,but also it must have symbian OS.when will it come?

  • I just bought this phone yesterday and it has a serious problem..when i insert my memory card n check on my files in file manager,the fon will automatically keep off..my memory card-4Gb.Is anyone facing this problem too?

  • hi, ofcurse u can MSN by this phone, just go in to www.ebuddy.com and log in :) have a nice day

  • Can we MSN by using the phone......Help....

  • I thought i my phone problem can we complain to SE since the battery life is different then published.... what we can do for it....

  • now i'm using w850 to connect internet by usb it really slow and i want to change to use G705 anyone have idea about it for connecting to the internet

  • Battery Life: Stand-by Up to 400 h Talk time Up to 10 h. But i found stand-by time only up to 48h and talk time only up to 2h. By the way, video pixel so bad, most worst than W580 and W850. Internet connection so slow, power on take more time, sometime hang. This G705 really worst, I'm so regret and disappointed to brought this handphone.

  • The appointment reminder only do a tiny "beep" and vibrate. Is there a way to make the reminder louder or select ring tone or make it auto repeat the reminder. Thanks!

  • Hi I've got this phone and have the same problems with battery life - without any use just get 2 days on standby 48hrs nowhere near the advertised 400hrs!

  • Just got this phone, is no bad, is one of the best so far. I know people had complained about the quality of the slider, i guess none of you had a Nokia 5300 that looks like Fisher Price made it. G705 is pretty good, but i do agree with some of you, the camera stinks!! i had a K850i before this one , so it really bothers me not having the picture quality. Anyway my next step is the C905 , when it drops at least to 350$ or at least 400$ in 2015 i guess.

  • i need information sbout G705 if my phone connect to pc, and then savely remove hardware. why i can stil open phone file in explore?

  • I own the pretty G705 almost three months now and I want to share my experiences to others: Pros: - Solidly manufatured, precious finish - pretty design - Pretty good display - Slide-Mechanism reliable and stable - Extended Bluetooth (multiple simultaneous connections possible) - Beautiful view of newsfeeds Cons: - Incomplete and incorrect instructions - Support useless and incompetent - Uncontrolled Internet-DialUpl/Data connection - Sync Function / ActiveSycn does not work - Faulty telephone conference function - Poor voice quality - Integrated Speaker is bad (hands-free talking impossible) - Silver / lacquer buttons to scroll from - Keyboards notchy, poor ergonomics - No full support for handsfree (SE HCB 150) - Slow processor, navigation notchy - System crashes and slow reboot - cumbersomely switch to Flight Mode - Docking station / charger connection (CDS-75) notchy/ refractory - Power settings can not adapted - Wayfinder navigation software is only 30 days trial - Useless camera (no flash, miserable quality recording) - Moderate browser - Slow and unreliable automatic screen-tilting - Integrated media support insufficient To make it short, I can recommend this phone anyone. Neither private users, yet professional. By looking pitted controls (paint peeling from), the G705 does not aesthetic requirements. Due to faulty communication functions (no telephone conference, no ActiveSync), it is unsuitable for business use. In detail: Given the positive attributes are self explanatory, I will not dwell on it received. Some of the listed negative qualities but need further explanation. The flight mode is inaccessible because it can only be achieved when the phone restarts. Anyone who flies a lot, the phone alone, do not like. The guide beggars all description. Although it is in all languages, but who needs it anyway? More important is the fact that neither the icons displayed in the phone explained, yet this self-explanatory. One can only guess, and often is confused, not just whether something is running that you do not want. Basic features are only superficially described, if you encounter serious problems, can be found in the manual does not help. The Sony Ericsson support is there but not much better. You get bland-lump answers in a "look at the website for" or "download the latest system software" (neither is the support site with detailed / helpful, yet there has been new system software). Whoever having problems with the Sony Ericsson G705, is on its own. Who the phone with RSS feeds / subscribe to news, will be experiencing the wonders of blue, because a restriction to "local connections" as its own wireless LAN, will be offered, it works but not so continuously for Internet-Einwahl/Datenverbindung costs incurred. At 5 subscribed feeds were with me within two months, at least about 300 euros! Also on the topic news feeds fits is not customizable power saving setting. The screen darkens after 20 seconds and then it is to read over, unless you press a button to set the phone to resuscitate. Active Sync was on my G705 not get the service record. I previously used the Sony Ericsson P1i, which is after initial software update with the same settings as in the G705 now easily worked. Again, no help from Sony Ericsson support. And after three months still no software update that some of the "teething problems" would eliminate. The function of telephone conferences to lead will be offered, but it does not. It can simultaneously select different Gesp�rchspartner, but unfortunately, the Verbingungspartner then not to attend a conference together. The kit I angeschaft since integrated speakers G705 flawed. He is quiet and scheppert. One understands the caller just bad. Unfortunately, the Sony Ericsson G705 but not easily with the handsfree HCB 150 together. Although the pairs work / connect easily, but calls can not be free from the start or be adopted, otherwise the sound is automatically transferred to your phone is. This brings the need for and the actual function of the free, ad absurdum. Overall, the Sony Ericsson is responding too slowly G705, which is probably on the weak processor, or a poorly programmed software system is due. Who is a small Add-On A charging (eg, CDS-75), will not be too much joy to her, because the phone is sideways in the contacts made and the charging can not be easy to solve. Is the G705 in the charging station, the receiving of calls to be patient sample, because the phone is because of the idiotic mounted connector is simply not fast enough from the charging station can be removed. Abstract: After only three months of use, a list of significant deficiencies resulting length. If there would be only minor unattractive, you could still turn a blind eye, but there are significant costs ('s years of accumulated / anticipated 1200th - Euro) and important features such as ActiveSync, conferences, Handsfree are unusable. This phone is the empty promise materialized! I strongly advise: Don't purchase!

  • Can anyone tell me if I can read ms office and pdf files?

  • Not to bad for now.......!

  • no-- disappointing...

  • No auto focus, but picture quality is not too bad really.

  • GPS is always free no matter what the device. It's turn-by-turn navigation and maps that you have to pay for.

  • awesome, awesome, awesome, except for the auto rotate which is not as well as i expected it to be, it is perfect, i wonder why it was so cheap!

  • does it hav auto focus

  • Is GPS service itself on this phone free? (not mentioning internet charges for downloading maps).

  • This phone has no OS, and there will not be any new phones from se to support symbian applications. UIQ is dead. You can only wait for new winmo devices from SE.

  • I just bought this phone and I find it very laggy and slow response. The contacts list take 5 seconds to open! I also find the build quality poor and the slide wobbles.

  • Overall a good phone. if want to use msn, try using ebuddy via wifi. no prob for me so far. can watch youtube via wifi too, suprisingly, download speed quite fast. hope its useful. ;P

  • I just got this phone for 3 days. The simple and elegant design caught my eyes. It's camera isnt as good as w800i. Walkman - quite good.The best part of this phone - the wifi. The web is easy to navigate. Love it. I had been using w800i for 3 years and I hardly use the walkman and camera. This phone is for those who loves to surf. If you're looking for a good cam and good quality of sound (ringtone), dont go for this phone. Hope my comment helps.

  • I bought my g705 few week ago. I like the phone so much because is look cool. I having a few question : 1. My Battery is running very fast and i did use it frequently. May i kno how long is teh battery can stand for. 2. Can we use MSN? If can how to install it? 3. Did anyone feel trouble with icon?

  • Hello guys.I have some questions please help me. 1-which of se models have tv receiver? 2-which series of se phones have better cameras?

  • is this phone able to play youtube videos on wifi? Does the browser have flash player built-in?

  • well I dunno about other ppl, but I got a bad experience with G900. In fact I sold that phone and got G705 instead. My G900 was laggy, froze a lot, and the screen's color somehow turned bad. Guess i got one of those faulty. Anyway, Yes the G705 has built-in GPS receiver and Yes the Wi-fi speed is quite fast in fact, i didn't notice any difference compared with using G900's wi-fi. overall this phone is what u'd expect from a web capable phone with no OS. Great mobile browsing experience with it. don't mind the camera b'coz it's not intended to excel in that area.

  • i think this phone is quick good for me...but why it have 5 megapixels

  • can i use this phone for free calls. can i install the free call software in g705 mobile

  • i got the phone last week.the phone is good but the quality of the pictures is fair..you need a good lightings to take a good pic.

  • does this phone have built in gps receiver? The review here claims it has both gps and a-gps but in mobile-review web it says this phone only has a-gps??

  • it is nice mobile but not better than se g900 it is the best mobile which i have used so u better buy as it it good slim and with lot's of features

  • I have a P990.ButI want to buy G705,but I can't.Bcoz it can't support symbian OS.What a strange matter!G900 and G700 support Symbian OS,but i cant understand why G705 doesn't it!I am waiting for a new one of G-series which specification,design(obviously slide,and display 2.4 or 2.6inch)is just same as G705 and also support symbian OS.When it will be possible for me?

  • @jane: the G series stands for "Generation Web" basically a web-focused phone =)

  • what G stand for? Like w means its a walkman phone, k means is a camera phone but what is G?

  • Around �280 shipped to uk. Its unlocked with a choice of 2 colours :O

  • got same experience as always_using_SE_Phon: tick tick tick. plus, i think the back cover of my phone is not really tight. so pushing on not only the navigation key but also the key pad gives me this annoying noise :( is it just my phone or every phone is like that?

  • been using the phone for about 2 weeks now here in the philippines: Design: its good but they could've done much better. the slider's durability is questionable though. when you're using the nav keys, the slide is knocking the the keypad dock. tick tick tick!!! because only the middle portion of the sliding panel is attached to the body.. ( they could've attached middle to bottom) tsk tsk tsk Camera: camera has no auto focus!! my W800i does have a much better shot Display Screen: Awesome!! 2.4" is enough to watch videos Music: same as walkman phones granting you have a Walkman series headsets!! Internet using HSDPA: AWESOME!!! got 1.2 Mbps speedtest!! using Wifi: Great!!! @ less than 30 ft from access point Overall: Its the phone to be that is, if you're not much into Picture quality. Request to Sony Ericsson Manufacturer: Launch a software update that will correct Camera Functionality that's all there is to it guys!!! -.0

  • In same way this G705 reminds me of Samsung models...or I am mistaking?

  • i get this phone already ^^ camera lose then k850 then others...

  • HPM 64 comes with the phone

  • The battery last around 2 days for me.I play about and hour of music,use wifi internet for about 2 1/2 hours and about 30 minutes of talk per day

  • It maybe a problem to do with your wireless not the phone.

  • this phone camera really not good...sound also same not nice...online better only

  • i want ask some question...hope any one can answer me... why i connect wireless, but i stil cant using G705 to online...if any problem...'communication failure' tat is wat happening...

  • Hi...The specs on this phone looks pretty impressive...however would be glad to know about the battery life from someone using this phone...it'll be gr8 if u cud also share ure 1st hand opinion about the phone's performance and built. Thanks in anticipation

  • nice phone, nice design. the camera just like normal 3mp phone. only one thing is the gps need wifi to run.

  • A competent range of features make this device appealing were it not for its very high price tag which puts it within �70-80 of the C905 which has all the features of the G705 plus a superior camera module. Unless the price of this device goes down it is difficult to envisage it selling in large numbers.

  • hi all,i would like to suggest to SE that i would make more smart phone or include smartphone to its upcoming mobile phone,thanku.

  • Hi can anyone tell me whether this phone can play the whole song as the message tone. or just limited only to a few mins.. Thank you very much

  • to Nigredo lol, my previous post i forgot to include my name! yes i'm nicky

  • to Nigredo =D i agree with u, the camera is almost not existant.. in my humble opinion, stay away from G705 if u want a good cybershot camera-phone... bcos G705 is good in many ways except to be a camera fan's dream come true....

  • click set up wizard on ur phone, and it will automatically download the settings of mms and web/gprs of ur phone.

  • This G705 is really good looking,but I don't like the music of MP3 it's seem not louder and the music not the other of W580i or K810i, I wish that the Sony Erisson will upgrade the sound music of other style phone.

  • I like the phone (construction, features, menu, etc) but the battery struggles. With moderate use so far and it lasts about two days. Talk time with 3g is closer to two hours than the specified 10.

  • Is anyone using the G705 on the T-Mobile USA network? How'd you get your MMS and Web services configured? Thanks for any help anyone can provide!

  • You need to setup up normal data accounts from your operator first,then in the settings select allow local connection and when you are connected to wifi the phone will use the wifi connection instead of your operator settings.

  • Im looking for a nice wifi phone and I find this model interesting.. HOw mch is this phone in Philippines?tnx

  • i want to buy this phone for my mum , is it recommendable ? my mum is looking for a 3G and camera phone , other than that the memory , but i believe most SE phones have 1GB + , thank you (:

  • I currently have the SE S500, does anyone know if the battery will be compatible with the G705? and what is better, the G705 or the W705 ...?

  • there has no AF(auto Focus)Function

  • Can u tell me how to setup the phone so I can use youtube and other online apps via WiFi?

  • Hey can anyone tell me what the camera is like? Can it zoom when its on max size? I noticed majority of SE phones cant do it. Whats the shutter speed? (takes picture quick, slow?) secondly, has it crashed yet? Cos i am really considering the phone!! Finally.... what network is this going to come out for? is it orange?

  • hows the sound quality?

  • Smart model.. but it could be a slim design though

  • I would like to know the Mobile price.Thanks

  • Anyone using 3G in US or Canada? Which provider are you with and how fast and reliable is the 3G Internet?

  • Hello can anyone tell me how long is the message tone. thks

  • I bought the G705 and am loving it. I do have a problem getting it to stream but. Can access the net fine, stream youtube, but playback of music/streaming fails. Does anybody have an idea why? What sort of hidden settings are there? Many thanks

  • GPS does not require EDGE or 3G. It works on its own. Google map (and all online features) works on Wifi. I bought it in HK and had problem with youtube as well. Turns out that I have to setup the streaming setting to use Wifi and youtube is working now. Downloaded Opera mini and the browsing is even faster. Although it is not as integrated as the built-in netfront browser.

  • To nicky! Im using the home router, too (got a couple of laptops) and the download speed via WiFi on the G705 is awesome! Everything works perfect but i got 3 complains: 1-The WiFi rapidly disconnects and it is really annoying! 2-The camera is kinda... useless duo to the lack of AF (i think) 3-When closed - the top part of the phone does shifts a bit. Overall - its nice! Its pretty cheat, too + its a reat pleasure to surf the net on it!!!!

  • i just brought this phone, it's great!!!! i love it's download speed thru' wifi ( home router) =D highly recommended.... the only laggy thing, i felt is the contacts. i find it kinda sluggish in opening contacts

  • so the camera do not have autofocus? what other drawbacks are there?

  • to use the GPS function in this phone, do we need edge or 3G from the service provider?? pls reply..

  • Hi, The battery life depends on the user. If you are a techie in music, video and surfing, then you may have to charge everyday. If you just use your phone for calling, it can last you for about 3 days before you need charging again. The wi-fi connection is pretty easy and fast. If you are a music lover, you may consider buying W705 if not, then this phone is pretty good.

  • Very nice!

  • How is the battery life for this phone? Is it better than W760? Does this have megabass feature? How is the wifi connection speed? Is this phone worth buying or what about the W705? Finally, what is the approx. price for this phone in CAD? Thanks.

  • When is the US version of G705 coming out? Any dates? I need to get the US version because i need to get 3G working here in the US and Canada

  • not joystick like in K800. It's navigation key like in recent models

  • do se have both!

  • May i to know the SE G705 is joystick or press button?
