Its really a nice phone with few draw backs, but I really like it.
Advantages.
1-Sport functions(of course).
2-2MP camera
although no AF but its a clamshell.
3-512 mb card.
4-The outer screen is just huge it displays some really useful information, like the first few lines of a new sms, callers name, the song title and artist when in the walkman, phone status whenwalkman is off, the signal and those small icons on that battery andsignal bar.
5-keys on the front cover which can play/pause, forward, backward(the key lock is very handy)
6-size, it fits in your hand!
7-The new UI is just great! de
fault themes are awesome! and the new font is a plus.
8-dual displays.
9-Complete set for doing exercise(arm band, Clip, earphone with hook).
Disadvantages.
1-No walkman2 software(Walkman Version 1 Only)
2-Not really easy to get your card out(you need to take off the back cover which is a bit tricky)
3-the camera key is on the wrong side
4-the walkman lost its video link you have to access videos from the entertainment menu
5-the walkman button on the keypad is a bit too low to get to whereasthe internet button isn’t .
6-no AF.
7-No zoom function in full quality setting.
8-poor earphones.(nice design but inferior wires)
Conclusion.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Sport Features- Nokia 5500 sport
Walkman- W810i/W700i
I would prefer W810i instead of W710i Bcoz of the following things.
1-Value for money(1000rs Cheaper)
2-Best Camera(Auto Focus, Zoom, Flash Light)
3-Reliability(Candy bar is more reliable than Flip open type)
Finally if u decide to buy w710i, u can buy this phone with out any doubt.this phone is truly an excellent phone.
But if u consider VALUE FOR MONEY, go for w810i .
If sport feature is important to u do consider Nokia 5500 Sport as well.(It is a smart phone too.)
