Mobiles Review

The G705 is in fact a replica of the Sony Ericsson C905 – while the latter is the company’s imaging-heavy flagship, this one is geared towards the mass-market end of the fashion-savvy segment. It goes without saying that its attribution to Internet-centric phones (which the entire G-series is known for) is very loose and serves as all another example of how Sony Ericsson find themselves bewildered by their own classification scheme. It turns out that the Walkman-branded offerings represent the “true” style-savvy end of their portfolio, whereas all other handsets are in a different fashion league. Very vague positioning, to say the least, and furthermore, the G705 looks more like a no-frills mid-range fashion-conscious slider, rather than anything else.

While in theory the G705 rivals a wealth of Samsung-branded phones, in practice they are totally different in terms of look-and-feel. I can’t say that someone who has picked the G705 would seriously consider some handset from Samsung’s portfolio, and vice versa. In fact, these two worlds are so far apart, that they are very unlikely to meet at all, so it’d be pointless to ponder over whose feature pack is superior – in this particular case, it’s more about how the user feels about these phones, whether he finds their design appealing or not. Generally speaking, it’s just like when someone who is after a smartphone, such as the Nokia E66, will never even cast a glance at the G705, primarily due to its completely different abilities and aesthetics. That’s why the G705 stands all alone on the market, as it’s often the case with Sony Ericsson’s offerings.

Another thing of note is that the G705 has a music-minded sibling in Sony Ericsson’s portfolio. The W705 comes with a different and, to be frank, better-looking design, enhanced music player (in the way of software, rather than audio quality), bigger memory card in the box and a semi-decent pair of headphones. But more importantly, it’s set to arrive only a couple of months later and at the same price point – in other words, in order to keep the G705 in play, Sony Ericsson will have to send its price through the floor already at the end of Q1 2009. All in all, it’s a very uncharacteristic move for this particular vendor and goes to show that the W705 is so much more important than its G-branded counterpart. Although another possibility is that they might decide that the W705 can’t retail for so little and will bump its price tag; in this case the G705 won’t see a 10-15 percent price drop in several months’ time.

This new phone from Sony Ericsson, W52S Walkman, is quite unusual design, which at first sight is hardly beautiful. The reason for this is probably the fact that the slider is another fruit of cooperation between manufacturers and designers of mobile phones. However, in the open position of the slider is much better. W52S presented in three bright colors Corps (pink, blue, silver) and had a rather standard set of features, such as 2,1-megapixel camera, 2 GB of internal memory, MicroSD slot for M2 memory stick cards 2,7-dyuymovy LCD-display, radio, feature improved sound DBEX. The cost, as well as how soon the telephone might go beyond the Japanese, is not yet known.
