Sony Ericsson W705a Review - Phone Reviews by Mobile Tech Review

For Sony Ericsson phone fans, the last couple of months have been fruitful: first Sony Ericsson released the unlocked Sony Ericsson W995a Walkman phone with U.S. 3G, then AT&T released the Sony Ericsson C905a killer camera phone and the Sony Ericsson...

A stylish phone that looks and feels well built. Strong reception. Good music experience ;

Wi-Fi range is poor

A very strong music phone at a more reasonable price, the W705a is a good all around phone for those who want a Walkman phone but don’t want to sign a 2-year contract or spend $599 list for the W995a. The phone has most of the bells and whistles of a...

Sony Ericsson W705a mobile phone

The TelstraOne Experience interface adds a new dimension to this stylish Walkman phone

TelstraOne Experience interface, design, well-implemented controls and keypad, smooth slider, HSDPA-capable, Wi-Fi, 4GB M2 card included

Slider does wiggle slightly when pressed, incoming audio could be louder, no GPS

The Telstra-exclusive Sony Ericsson W705a doesn’t offer any groundbreaking features, but the TelstraOne Experience interface is intuitive and user-friendly.

Sony Ericsson W705a

Normally when reviewing a phone the first things we would talk about are design and features. However, with this one the feature that warrants the most attention is the new TelstraOne interface.

Easy to Use, Great Multimedia capabilities, Fast web surfing, Facebook and Twitter compatible

Keypad can be fiddly

Excellent

A great phone overall - very easy to use, functional with lots of features - a good improvement on the W910 it effectively replaces. Sony Ericsson has the best, most intuitive menu on the market, and there are a lot of shortcuts that you can learn,...

Much faster operation than my W910. Lots of features including the welcome return of the LIGHT!! (Like a torch - I used to have one in my K750, and missed it in my w800 & w910) Fantastic loud speaker - especially for playing music, good sound quality &...

The slide mechanism has more 'play' than my W910, little chunkier than I expected. Pedometer function is good - but program must always be 'open' for it to be used. Camera is good, but as the photo is taken immediately, the picture can sometimes be...
