Advantages: Brilliant MP3

Disadvantages: None

This is another one in the range of Sony Ericsson's Walkman phones,and is probably one of the best Walkmans phones ever produced. Of course this is also a mobile phone and has many useful features that you would expect to get on a mobile phone of today.

The Sony Ericcson W705 is a slider phone with the main numerical buttons hidden beneath the top. The phone itself is quite thin for a slider type phone and it has a sleek well finished design The sleak silver metal finish adds to the quality of this well built phone.

The W705 has a Walkman endorsed MP3 player built in so you can listen to your music using the built in speaker or use any standard set of headphones to listen privately. The Onscreen MP3 player shows album art, artist, album and song listing. It is basically having a very good MP3 built into your mobile phone. Using the main control buttons to change in between songs is easy and very simple. Ths sound quality from the speaker is great as long as you don't blast at full level, where the sound can become a little distorted. The extra features of the MP3 inculde shake control allowing the user to switch between tracks by shaking the phone, and track id for listening to unknown songs. The MP3 player can play MP£/AAC and MPEG4 files. As with most music phones, you alo have a built in FM radio for when you want to listen to some other tunes.

This high spec phone also has a very good 3.2 megapixel camera that takes high quality photos on the go aswell as decent quality short videos. There is a light to brighten up pictures in the dark. No need to worry about memory as the phone has a onboard 120mb capacity which can be expanded to a huge 8gb using a M2 memory card.

The phone has many other great features such as bluetooth and WiFi connectivity to the internet. The phone has all the basic communication functions such as calling, texting, sending emails, and even video calling. The buttons are easy to press and thus makes it very easy when texting.

The battery life is very good with up to 400 hours standby and a decent 10 hours when you are constantly making calls. this is a very good standard for a high spec phone like this.

This is a very good phone especially for those who do not like the iPhone. It is reasonably priced depending what type of payment plan you get. It is a very sturdy and well built phone that has never given me problems. I use the MP3 player a lot and often nowadays leave my seperate MP3 in the house just to use the built in one. I highly reccommend this phone to any person looking to buy a decent phone with built in MP3 player.

Summary: Another great phone by SE
