Sony CMD-J70

Quiet at the back, I'm going to do a consumer review. That means no crowns if it doesn't really cover the subject. OK? By all means if you feel that I've dealt with it in a witty, amusing AND informative manner, then go ahead, I'll have your £1.50 but there is a disturbing tendency of late for Dooyoo to award crowns just because the author is popular and turns a good phrase. Might be Jackbumpoo about the subject in it, even. A bad sign because we're all getting better and the money won't last! Got that off my chest so eyes down and read on... Anybody who's been reading me recently will know I've suffered some mobile hell ...  Read the complete review

Since none of my favourite things [ok, so two] are deemed 'unfavouritable' with the powers that be down at Dooyoo HQ, it's time for idodoyou to kill two birds with one stone, or should I say op. Firstly, Jill .... this is for you. And all my best wishes for you and yours. Secondly. In order to instil some hope into the guide of this category and to try and 'bump' up his opinion of the opinions within his category ... Paul, this is for you too. March 2002 saw me become the proud new 'mummy' of a tinsy winsy teeny tiny little thing and there were smiles all round. Alas, as with most new things that finds its way ...  Read the complete review

To bracket me in with the achingly fashionable kids who Nokia have come to live from would be akin to dropping Bernard Manning into a room with Nelson Mandela to see if they got on. For two years I owned a Motorola brick and only recently upgraded, forcibly due to my own inability to keep the damn thing in my pocket, to a shiny new Sony J70. Your criteria for choosing this phone will probably be similar to mine - a lighter phone, something new-ish but not in the very top price bracket, the few genuinely useful features to have appeared over the last few years. I wanted something small and light, no more than £100, that can send a ten-word message without ...  Read the complete review

The first UNfavourable review of this phone - and a complete contrast to others' experiences, from the looks of it. I have a Sony J70e from Orange - I don't know if the "e" makes a difference but from the photo & descriptions in the other reviews it seems to be the same model. I got mine free on upgrading and extending my Orange contract for a year. It looks nice, shiny silver, and it's fairly small and light, with no visible aerial. That's it. There are some other pros (see below) but those advantages are available on other models/brands, and to me are far outweighed by the cons. Reasons NOT to get this phone: - ...  Read the complete review

Here is a review of the Sony J70. Before I got this phone, I looked at various websites to find out people's opinion on the phone. I've had used several mobile phones - the Motorola mr30, the nokia 3210 and nokia 3310. In my review I will be comparing the J70 with the Nokia 3310, which is one of the most common phones around. Below are the plus and minus of the J70 over the 3310. Advantages & Disadv. ==================== Small size & light - the phone is smaller and lighter (about 90grams) than the 3310 making it much easier and more comfortable to carry around. This is one of the main reasons I got the phone. Good build quality ...  Read the complete review
