Sony Ericsson C702

By Joseph Hanlon on 06 June 2008

There's a lot to like about the C702, sadly the Cyber-shot camera is not part of this list. People hunting for a rugged mobile phone will rejoice at this compact and attractive option.

  I use it for 6 months. Loses of audibility, sometimes do not work alarm clock, alarm clock does not work at all when charging, weak battery ~48h with rarely use, on some applications hangs. Sometimes you can push buttons but nothing happens. Lot of problems but have not software update.

  • Good: lot of options
  • Bad: plenty of lacks

  Good sturdy phone, not fragile, and reliable. Easy interface to use takes bit of getting use to coming from nokia brands. Easy to type fast, good internet, and good features :)

  • Good: Good Screen, Many Features, Highly Expandable Memory
  • Bad: Battery Life, Quiet Speaker

  One month old. This phone is ok and does have good features.
  I like photography and the macro photo's of this phone is very nice, but it is still a phone more than a camera.
  Video recording also nice and sound recording very sensitive - something I like.
  Does have a bit of lag sometimes, but nothing major. Find that it does switch off for no reason when using other installed options nor included in original package.
  Battery lasts for 3-4 days max, wich is bad for an outdoor phone.
  Advise a good phone cover as the screen scratches easily.
  Sound good and clear - earphone quality excellent.
  Because life is what you make of it, I'll give this phone a 8/10.

  • Good: It's a man's world indeed.
  • Bad: Battery life.

  lots of potential. The guys giving it the bad reviews are right. Don't matter how good the features are when you can't use them without fear of the phone freezing-was always annoying. I let my battery get completely flat and out of spite my phone now won't even start recharging at all.

  • Good: would be good if it worked
  • Bad: doesn't work

  Some Good Features are not enjoyed due to some annoying bad features such as Keypad and other tiny buttons and a broken spring in the lens cover causing the camera to activate. Also if you place the back of this phone near a strong magnet this will also activate the cam function.

  • Good: 30 fps Video Rec, Gps Track I.D, Mp3 playback, spashproof/dustproof, personalise your own "SWF Themes" using "Sony Ericsson's Theme Creator"
  • Bad: Tiny useless keypad,Centre push joy/button recessed too low inside of "D" Button, Volume buttons hard to depress, Poor Battery consumption, Dodgy Lens Cover

  Had this phone for just over 6 months now and I've been extremely disappointed with it the whole time. It does have smoe good points about it but the majority of it is just terrible. Do not buy this phone if you are an impatient person - the lag is unbelieveable

  • Good: GREAT sound quality with and without the earphones, definitely the only thing thats made me hold onto this phone a little longer
  • Bad: It has a very bad tendency to freeze and turn itself on and off at random moments, ESPECIALLY whilst in a call or texting someone. Very VERY ANNOYING!

  some of the comments are wrong. its a reasonably GOOD phone. The guys giving bad comments need to go into the phone literature.

  • Good: Almost everything
  • Bad: for indian standards a bit expensive and honestly the volume is a trifle dissapointing

  managed to get less than a meter accuracy with GPS using google maps with the find me dot. The dot on the map followed me around the street very precisely. GPS tracker is an excellent application that sports people will like. found the video function to be very good as it records at 30 fps.

  • Good: build quality is better than Nokia, uses same battery as K800i, Z610 etc so backwards compatibility is great if you're upgrading from a previous SE phone.
  • Bad: no wifi, would be great if it were quad band 3G
