Just think of these many feaures
A Stereo FM player with iPod quality sound.
An MP3 playaer equiped with a Walkman technology
A 256M data storage which can store upto 2 GB of data(Using SD Card) and can b connected to ur PC.
A Very handy camera with 4x digital zoom.
A video camera too with 4x digital zoom to capture any one any where actions.
A Good voice recorder to record every thing which u want to hear again.
A personal organizer to make sure that you attend every meetin u have schedule.
An alarm which u can set for the days. That means you need not to switch off your
morning alarm on Saturday even when u don’t have to go to office.
And a Bluetooth, a stop watch, a clock, a callendar, a notebook, etc etc...
Sounds Good!!, All this will feature will keep you busy and help u to capture
every moment you want to relive.
But I know humans are sooooooooo very demanding they want more isnt it!! So to add more
to this device lets add a GSM feature to it. Now you can also use this to call your
loved ones. This is all new w700i. A gold colored mobile phone which can be used to grab
high quality pictures or you can say that a Digital camera which can be used to ring some one.
Welcome to the word of Sony Erricson (I call it SonE) cell phones. Handy to use easy to carry.
W700i is one of the master peice here ’W’ is for Walkman technology used by SonE for enchanced
sound quality, But when I started using in I found ’W’ shoud statnd for WOW!.
Sound
Sound reception is very clear but with headphone it become Crystal clear. Thanks to walkman technology, mp3 or FM songs are really enhanced, it also allowed you to set different equilizers
out of which MegaBass is just wonderful. And if you want then every budy will listen it, just removed the headphone pin and plug it in the Speakers(Great Feature). Let the world hear it.
Also managing the songs is easy. You can create your own playlist from the tracks.
Display
TFT screens provide a crystal clear display & its very good.
Equipped with 2 MEGApixel camera helps to caputre clear and colorful images and video. In short
What You C Is What U Get. Camra is really power ful and have options like any other digicam
Night vison, Timer, Flash light, Datetime, 4x DigitalZoom.
A dedicated click button which really makes the camera control Handy
You can just tilt the phone in horizantal positions which help to get the better angel to Shoot
once you set just Click. Thats it!!
Phone Handeling
Keypad is verysoft that makes typing easy & fast, eSpecially when you are SMSing it helps. Onetouch button to activate/deactivate the T9 Dictionary is very good. Joystic is in the middle
makes browsing really easy though u need some practice. Its java enabled so you can run
any java application available on net. Bluetooth is also fast and had safegaurad options aswell.
There are lot many features in W700i which makes it a gem.
Now coming to the improvement areas, SonE had worked hard but still I found that it can be imporved.
A good recorder is present in the phone but it can not be used to record the FM songs. That could be a great feature to add in.
Inserting the SIM is easy but getting it out is the toughest job to do on this phone. I used a nails, screw driver
nail cutter etc to get the SIM out but didn’t worked. In the end a Plastic film helps me to take it out.
Battery life is not very long. Though it works fine if you are talking or listining the music. But if you start
to play with the display panel it just get consumed quickly. Though the charger is fast enough to put back u on
track.
In the end, Its a good phone to buy I got it for INR 13, 300 and found it worth it. A Nokia phone with similar features
costs some 2000 more. But belive me you wont ever need a Digi cam with this gem in ur pocket.
