Sony Mobile Evangelist

Even though the G705 comes equipped with only one loudspeaker, it's pretty loud and won't let you miss a call in pretty much any environment. However, considering the phone size, you'd expect it to rock somewhat louder; unfortunately, it's not the case here. As far as reception quality goes, the Sony Ericsson G705 was an okay performer without any significant letdowns or strengths. The vibro alert is a bit above average strength-wise - you'll feel it even though clothes, make no mistake about that.

Retailing for 300 Euro, the G705 aims at a pretty narrow niche – while it sports a likable and offbeat design, WiFi connectivity and GPS, its quirky positioning is what holds it back. It’s not the best choice for heavy web users, although it’s a decent solution for calls without too many extra feats. Those who are after more feature-rich offerings, will be content with the Nokia E66, but this phone is in a league of its own, even though it’s not much more expensive. Furthermore, with the arrival of the W705, the Sony Ericsson G705 won’t stand a chance.
