Sony Ericsson K770 Review
Sony Ericsson has adopted a handy naming scheme for its cell phone division. Each of its phones are designed for a specific purpose (aside from traditional cell phone usage) depending on the letter in front of the phone’s number designation. So, the Sony Ericsson K770, of the K class, is part of the Cyber-Shot family of digital cameras (K stands for kamera, or camera in English). This handy naming scheme is used throughout Sony Ericsson’s line of phones and should act as a quick reference for anyone who does not have camera specifications handy.
The Sony Ericsson K770 is a marvelous device that is stylish enough for fashion fanatics, extremely easy for anyone to pick up and use, and still has enough cool features for even the most discerning technophiles. It is a GSM phone primarily designed for the Asian and European frequency range, although it can also be used in the United States. The Sony Ericsson K770 supports 3G data transfer rates, although it is still uncertain if these 3G features can also be used in the United States.
As a small candy bar style phone, the Sony Ericsson K770 is able to maintain a tiny size and still pack in plenty of battery power for long talk times and some of the longest standby times in the industry. Measuring in at four inches by two inches by half an inch and weighing 95 grams, the Sony Ericsson K770 is a fairly small device. However, its impressive battery is able to supply enough power for ten hours of talk time and 400 hours of standby time. That can get you through more than half a month without having to plug it in.
The LCD screen on the Sony Ericsson K770 is decent, but nothing spectacular as it clocks in at 240 pixels by 320 pixels and displays 262 thousand colors. Because the Sony Ericsson K770 is part of the Cyber-Shot family of Sony devices, there is a 3.2 Megapixel digital camera built in which features an LED flash, auto focus, and a three times digital zoom.
More features on the Sony Ericsson K770 include: Bluetooth, a music and video player with expandable memory via Sony’s own Memory Stick technology, FM radio, and all of the traditional features that you find on most new phones, such as a calendar, a speakerphone, and an alarm.
Pros
-Very good camera
-3G support
-Practically endless battery life
-Sleek and attractive design
Cons
-Designed for the European and Asian market, may not work as well in America
-Requires Sony’s own, more expensive, brand of flash memory
Overall
The Sony Ericsson K770 is a great phone for people who are looking for a great cellular device and an impressive camera. It fills both niches nicely and is certainly worth looking at if you are in the market for a new phone.
Palm Treo cell phones which run on GSM networks are often “locked” by the GSM carriers so that they cannot be used on another GSM carriers network.
Unlocking can be done on GSM-based Treo phones such as the 650, 680, and 750.
