My Personal Review on my Speed Black C702 Cybershot handphone

10 reasons why I choose this phone after my last phone W810i fusion white walkman phone.
1. It's time to upgrade my mobile contract and Starhub(Singapore ISP) give me $100 voucher to buy new phone.

2. New release from Sony Ericsson regarding the new C-Series Cybershot mobile phone and I think it's the cut over from K-series to C-series.

3. This phone got Large Screen (2.2inches) which bigger than C902(2.0inches), Water & Dust Resistance, aGPS which usually only available in smart phone, photo geo-tagging, finger print resistant case, face detection and face autofocus.

4. I like the design of this phone, feel very solid and rough (is like drop from 2 floor to 1 floor also won't spoilt). Light weight which only 105g and the dimension of the phone is not very wide or too long. It's just nice 106 x 48 x 15.5 mm dimension.

5. No joy stick and it is D-pad which won't easily got problem. I like the key-pad number design.

6. The place to insert memory card (M2) re-design to become better than W810i one which will poke out after you use for some time.

7. 3.2 megapixel camera with cover protected and dual LED brighter light.

8. Megabass and Stereo widening function for media player and support up to 8Gb for M2 memory card.

9. Been finding high & low for the Sony Ericsson phone which have good camera function and also nice music from the phone and this is consider the best combination to me already. Because it have 3.2 megapixel camera with some cybershot function and also the Megabass function from W-series plus this phone is a mid-range phone so it won't cause you as much as C902 which cost you roughly about RM1.6k($700sgd) and above.

10. Starhub(which is like Maxis, Digi or Celcom in Malaysia) give me 6 months free subscription fee and unlimited 3G HSPD online service plus this new C702 is free $0sgd after I use the $100sgd voucher given by them during the 2 years re-contract.


So far the Cons(bad) of this phone is:
1. The dial/answer and end call key is quite difficult to press as it's a bit small and you will easily accidently press on the "shortcut" key and other button around the call and end call key.

2. There is a shortcut key allow you directly go to media file which located on top of the call/answer key BUT when you want to minimize the media player you need to select from the option and go to "minimize" function then only can minimize it unlike walkman phone which allow you directly stop it or minimize it (I know it's a bit over lah because it's not a Walkman phone mah... but Cybershot) but I already used to the walkman easy music function mah... =.=

3. The original earphone you can put inside your phone box and keep in storeroom cause the quality of sound is really bad if compare to the walkman original earphone HPM-70. Luckily my ex-phone is walkman series so I use back my old earphone which last me 1year and 9 months already. Listen to music same like using walkman phone with the HPM-70 on my new C702. Really advice and suggest you at least buy a HPM-70 earphone if you don't have because it's for you to make use of the Megabass function else by using the original earphone come along with your C702 is really spoilt the megabass function.

4. Feel a bit slow and delay in the function and response time for the phone to react on what you pressing maybe due to the effect of the theme and also the fade effect.

5. The + and - button for you to adjust volume and view phone status on the side is quite hard to press. Maybe due to the dust and water resistance function therefore the button is make in a different design and pattern.

6. As usual for most of the Sony Ericsson phone, the battery cover is bloody damn hard to open... I give up cause really don't wish to use screw driver or hammer to knock it out... =.="

So far.. this is what I found from this phone after use it for since last friday till now.

update on the cons (26.10.2008)
7. Quite a number of users complaint that their phone will autorestart when launching or using some application. Autorestart problem and it's able to reduce the frequent of autorestart by reset your phone to factory default and update to the latest firmware.

Yaloh to me 5megapixel or 3.2megapixel make no differences because 3.2 with autofocus and face detection feature is good enough already.

I took all the photo with the all "Auto" setting using C702. Don't have ISO to set for this model. Yeah I think photo quite noisy is the cons of this phone and I read from other review they also claimed that the photo is quite noisy.



But if compare to some of the photo I took using my old W810i 2megapixel with AF, some photo I feel that it's better than my existing C702 3.2megapixel camera.

For example this photo which I took with my W810i with Auto Focus during my visit to Singapore Zoo... but don't know why will took this photo instead of the animal in Zoo =.="

I'm using my c702 to online and visit my thread. Cause my girl friend scold me le. . . Ask me to sleep early. No choice need to go bed but now secretly online using 3g and post my entry here. Muahahaha tomorrow will post up the gps map picture on phone! Gg good night! B-)

some new photo taken using C702 3.2 megapixel camera.

One of the AF photo taken this morning, I think is better than last few post the flower picture I mentioned took using my w801i.

so must have a look! View it on the first entry bottom part under "Latest update"

Haven't officially launch in Malaysia yet. It will definitely launch together with C902 don't worry.

For the aGPS it's actually using Google Maps which is pre-installed in this phone. So you need to use GPRS or 3G to online and get the connection to the Internet then only you will be able to view where is your location. So it's not that inside got Malaysia or Singapore map but whenever you are if you are able to connect to Internet using your mobile phone then aGPS will be able to detect where is your location.

Although I know that there are those offline view map application available out there but using Google Maps it's able to track down where is your current location and show you in map view or the Google Earth real view.

I tried out last week using the aGPS and once you on it and connected to Internet after you launch the Google map it will show you where is your location. So if you want to travel to another location B just press the "search" and enter the address after that it will be able to trace down the location you are heading to if the address is correct and available.

The Google map will show your current location as a color dot and when you moving the color dot on the map will move too. Quite interesting and useful for those who drive. But I think this service very depend on your mobile line speed if the signal is very week therefore your map will take longer time to refresh and detect your location.

yeah 3 months free wayfinder but didn't use it cause find that it's quite crappy =.=" going to sleep soon.... 99~~

Tomorrow I put those aGPS photo and so on regarding the C702 phone

C702 is using aGPS. The Google map is not so accurate most of the time but I think it's better than the waynavigator.... I totally don't want to use that software after register it for the first time. Not user friendly and don't know how to use also.

Update C702 phone photo with its theme and map.

To view it kindly go to the first entry bottom part. Thanks.

Erm... less than half minute. After started the google map... the signal will refresh after few seconds. And will detect your current location. I think sometimes is depends on your 3G speed from subscriber. Quite ok only not very smooth but still acceptable and the accuracy is depend on whehter you are on move with vehicle or by walking. I try to walk all the way to another destination and during the process I can see my signal dot on the map follow exactly my path while i'm walking. But try before when take cab the signal will stuck at your current location but when the cab move for few seconds later til certain distance then only your position will be refresh and according to the signal tower if i'm not wrong. Cause it is not the exact location where the cab driving toward.

running fan @.@ you want me to take a photo of running fan? the stand fan or those hang on top one?

Fan photo taken. In the first entry bottom part under update.

I think the aGPS system(Google map) cannot function without the mobile network. Maybe you can try to find out other application except Garmin which most probably for smart phone only. C702 is NOT a smartphone. Just that Sony Ericsson add in one smartphone feature in this Cybershot phone nia.

For the camera to use zoom don't expect too much for the zooming feature. And for C702 it's only allow you to zoom for 2x only and it's ONLY available when you select to VGA camera instead of the 3 or 2 or 1 megapixel when you take photo. But I do choose the VGA mode and try the zooming function before it's really better than 2.0megapixel W810i zooming which can reach 4x. This zooming function really acceptable in the sense of the result and quality of the photo unlike W810i after you make 1X zooming you can see the picture really unacceptable not to say zoom til 4x... it's totally a white elephant only.

Just now purposely go and view the price of C702 and confirm that the current market price in Singapore offer by Starhub is $525sgd which around RM1207.5 when times 2.3 the currency exchange rate. Although now is already reach til 1sgd=RM2.402!!!!! Oh my god... highest ever than I saw before. Ops...out of topic already

I think official original phone haven't launch in Malaysia yet but the AP set most probably from Singapore already arrived in Malaysia for at least 1 week already.

Huh.. I think there must be some misunderstanding.. this phone definitely is not using symbian OS. It's not smartphone neither nor symbian phone. i'm not sure you are able to install Garmin or not. Garmin is a java application or what?

Don't force me I tell you IronTech...

I'm thinking of all kind of ways to wet my phone already /gg Muahhahhahahahahahaha..

Maybe I will go to public toilet and take out my phone to wash on the water tap while having a call... I will hold the opponent and say:"You hold on yeah, my phone screen is very oily due to my ear and face so I go and wash it first".

Or during raining day.. everyone is running here and there to avoid the rain while i'm still typing sms to my friend when walk across the pedestrian. Muahahhahaahahaahahahaha

Or sitting under the waterfall and act like bu jing yun(Feng Yun's Character) at the same time playing the java game - FotoQuestFishing(One of the original Java game in C702).

Don't force me.... I still got plenty of useful idea on how to fully utilize the water and DUST resistant function of this phone. Muahahahahahahahahahahahahaa

yeah cause you are using Google Map so it require you to online or connect to the Internet from your phone in order for you to use the GPS function.
