Amazon.com Product Description
The W710i Walkman phone is built for an active lifestyle. Whether you prefer to work your body outdoors or indoors the W710i is the perfect music player, workout analyst, and cell phone companion during exercise. With a Walkman music player and styling, and key features like Bluetooth connectivity, a 2.0 megapixel camera, an internal antenna, a memory card slot, workout recording applications, and a speakerphone, the W710i is a stylish and versatile clamshell mobile phone. 
The W710i is designed for workouts, music, and staying in touch. | 
An armband, plus a built-in motion sensor with exercise tracking functions keep you moving with a purpose. | 
The 2-megapixel camera lets you snap pictures while you're on a jog. | 
The phone comes with everything you need to enjoy music and track your workouts. | Design
The W710i's 262,144-color, 176 x 220 display is housed under the front cover while the outside sports a supplementary 128 x 128 monochrome display that can display time, call information, battery and signal strength, and more. The 2.0 megapixel camera is housed on the front cover as well. Because the W710i uses an internal antenna, there's nothing to snag or break off, while a five-way button just above the dial pad is used to control most of the phone's menus and features. Up/down buttons on the left side of the phone can be used for quick volume control and menu navigation. USB data and charging ports, as well as a headset port, are located on the phone's bottom edge. And because the W710i's front and rear faceplates are changeable with Sony-Ericsson Style-Up covers, you can dress it up to suit your style. The design also incorporates a unique carry handle on the top of the phone. Calling Features
The W710i's phone book can hold up to 1000 contacts with multiple entries per contact. A call list remembers your most recent missed, received and dialed calls. The phone's voice activated dialing makes calling your friends, family and associates as easy as saying their names. The phone also features a speakerphone for easy, hands-free talking. In addition to a vibrating alert, the phone supports polyphonic ringtones as well as MP3- and AAC-format ringers, allowing you to use portions of your favorite songs to alert you to incoming calls. There's even a bundled application that lets you mix your own ringtones with up to 16 tracks. Picture caller ID lets you assign a photo to specific callers. Similarly, a ringer ID lets you assign ringtones to callers. Lastly, users of Bluetooth headsets will find perfect compatibility with the W710i's Bluetooth radio. Fitness Applications
The W710i comes with applications that help you record your athletic performance. Inside the W710i is a motion sensor. Based on the movements the sensor detects, the fitness application measures time, speed, and distance when you run. It also includes a step counter for walking. Your workout results are stored in your phone so you can monitor your progress. The W710i even has a calorie counter. A convenient armband is also included in the W710i kit. Attach it to your phone, slap it around your arm, and you're ready to hit the track. To enjoy your music when you're working out, just simply choose a playlist or tune in to your favorite radio station with the FM radio. Messaging, Internet, and Tools
The W710i has all the bases covered when it comes to messaging. Support is built in for sending and receiving text, video, graphics and sound via messages. When used in combination with the phone's built-in camera, MMS opens up a whole new world of messaging fun. Instant messaging is also supported and the phone ships with a built-in email client. Getting on the Internet is easy with the W710i, as it supports the GPRS protocol. When used the phone's USB or Bluetooth data capabilities, the phone can be used as a wireless modem for laptops and PDAs. T9 text entry, a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit--a plus for mobile email and text messaging users. A number of handy software tools are bundled with the W710i including a voice memo recorder, a calculator, a calendar, and an alarm clock with a timer and stopwatch. Sony Ericsson Sync Station software lets you synchronize your Microsoft Outlook calendar, contacts, notes and tasks with your phone. Imaging and Entertainment
The W710i was designed for serious fun. The built-in 2.0 megapixel camera captures stills and video--and playback of video or still pictures is only limited to the memory card size. If you run out of room, don't worry--just drop another memory card into the w710i's built-in memory card slot. Picture effects and custom screensavers, backgrounds, and themes can be setup to fit your personality. Java support is built into the W710i, making it a powerful gaming companion for both online and offline games. The W710i also sports an airplane mode feature, which allows you to safely use the non-wireless functions of a phone (such as music, games or organizer functions) on an airplane during flight. Vital Statistics
The Sony-Ericsson W710i weighs 3.56 ounces and measures 3.46 x 1.89 x 0.96 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 10 hours of digital talk time, and up to 350 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the GSM/GPRS 850/900/1800/1900 frequencies.

 Camera not working! October 13, 2007
The cell phone itself it is excellent but unfortunately, the camera simply does not work. I will have to pay for some SE service to repair it. Low quality control from the seller.

Like many buyers, I bought this phone from Amazon after reading the reviews and I have been very happy with this phone. After receiving my phone I signed-up with T-mobile as a prepay customer and after inserting the SIM card the phone worked immediately without any problems. The reception and sound was great. Just for fun, I also tried an AT&T sim card on the phone and that worked without any problems as well. I travel to Europe quite often so when I went to Romania on my last trip, I purchased a sim card from Orange with a new number and it worked just fine. The charger on the phone is rated for 100 to 220 V so in Romania, I just had to get an adapter for my US plug.
This phone has some very nice features like music player (supports mp3 and others), FM radio, step counter, and three nice colorful video games. I especially like the fact that I could tune the FM radio or change tunes on the music player without having to open the phone. There are some buttons on the phone that allows you to play, go to the next song or stop in music player mode or change the frequency if you are in radio mode. The sound quality is very nice. The phone came with some software on a CD that was difficult to install. Installation on my XP windows computer was not intuitively obvious. I kept getting a message saying "New hardware found" and it was not until a few tries that I found that I had to keep installing the software until that message went away. There were some other minor complaints that I had with my phone. The earpiece that came with the phone kept falling out of my left ear when I went jogging. The mini-plug kept bouncing up and down while jogging and the weight of it would pull the earpiece out of my ear. The headphone cord is definitely a bit long, but not too bothersome. The armband that came with the phone held the phone quite well. The phone takes both video and still photos. The photo quality of the phone could use some improvement. The picture seems to be decent when there is plenty of light, but it seems to get worse when the background is a little dark. It seems to take better videos though. There is a nice zoom feature when you are taking videos, but you cannot use it for taking photos. This would be a nice feature to have
Despite some small shortcomings, overall, I would have to say that the phone has been great. I even dropped the phone a couple of times, but it did not get damaged. I would definitely recommend buying this phone.
Very nice phone with a lot of options September 4, 2007
I bought this phone as a gift for my sister in law that lives in Costa Rica. She is very happy with it. It works perfectly under their phone system since they only have one phone company operated by the government.
The phone is very friendly to use and have very nice graphics too.
