My short review of the Sony Ericsson G705:
After three months of use, the list of significant deficiencies is long. Some of the communication features simply don’t work. That’s true for ActiveSync and conferencing.
Uncontrollable dial-in/data-connections for RSS/Newsfeeds cause immense costs (450 US Dollar within two month).
Important features such as ActiveSync, conferences, Handsfree are unusable. The build-in camera is poor, no flash, unsharp photos.
Flight mode is out of reach and can be set only if you reboot the phone.
The silver color peels down from the buttons, looks ugly.
Phone crashes from time to time and you have to reboot it every three days. Reboot is slow, up to two minutes.
The instruction/user guide is useless as important things like meaning of icons are not mentioned. Topics are described superficially without any value.
Sony Ericsson support is incompetent and not able to help. Software updates not available so far.
This phone is one single empty promise! Disappointing!
If you do the comparison to the SE P1 which was also not a real highlight, the G705 is the worst phone ever.
My honest advise: Don’t get the G705!
just want to know if how many GB can i use to support my G705 sony ericsson mobile?
