Sony Ericsson C702 ReviewRed starRed starRed star White star White star

16 July 2008  |  Avg user rating: RatingRatingRatingRatingRating 

Poor Excellent

Look and feel

Although it looks cumbersome, the C702 is actually light in the hand. The screen is both colourful and vibrant.

Ease of use

The hard keys are in such close proximity that accidental key nudges are commonplace, while the navigation pad feels a little rough around the edges.

Features

Boasts a 3.2-megapixel camera complete with features including face detection and BestPic. The C702 also has a GPS receiver, with Wayfinder Navigator and Google Maps embedded in the device, along with HSDPA data speeds. The C702 is also both splash and dust proof.

Performance

The camera, particularly the video recorder is a letdown. Browsing the internet is a fluid experience, while the navigational applications are the C702's unique selling points.

Battery life

The Sony Ericsson C702 offers 420 minutes talktime and 300 hours standby.

Sony Ericsson C702

Pros: With a built-in GPS receiver, a host of navigational applications are included providing route planning, geo-tagging and even a fitness regime.
Cons: As part of the Cyber-shot range, the C702’s snapping abilities ultimately disappoints.

Verdict: The Sony Ericsson C702, while boasting some appealing features, particularly the built-in GPS receiver, remains in the C902’s shadow.
