the GPS software that is Wayfinder Navigator 7 which included in this SonyEricsson C702 is just the trial version only which expired on 6th Oct 2009 but i just brought the phone in last July 2009....

now i totally cannot use the software already....

Did anyone can provide other GPS software which can support SonyEricsson C702 ? or have any free version of Wayfinder Navigator which is compatible with my HP....

if have any news about above matter, please email me to

I have the black version of C702 for three months now. For a Java based dumbphone it's a decent piece of work.

GPS is as quick and reliable as one could expect from such small device. GPS Assistance from GSM network helps a lot in civilized areas, but the precision of navigation may suffer in areas with poor GSM signal coverage. Still, you won't get lost with it, and in areas with decent GSM coverage you can even try geocaching. I myself use the phone for GSM based games like GPS Mission. Make sure you understand your operator's data plan costs or have an unlimited data pack, as prolonged navigation can be quite costly.

Camera is of above average quality (for a phone). It has only LED flash, but mobiles are never good enough for making pictures at dark. Xenon flash would make the phone even bulkier and it makes the pictures taken in low light conditions look ugly anyway. If you won't rely on automatic settings and fiddle a bit with the camera settings for specific light conditions, you can get nice enough pictures and always correct them afterwards, using PhotoDJ app in the device. The pictures are a bit too noisy, but there is a software for PC (Noiseware), which is able to remove the noise from the pictures.

You have to recharge the battery at least every other day, if you use the phone moderately (make calls, surf the web, play media, etc.). GPS navigation drains the battery a lot, so make sure your phone is fully charged if you plan to use the GPS navigation longer.

-The phone has heightened ressistance against moisture, water drops and dirt. Don't ge too happy though and better don't sink it into water, like some people show you in YouTube. They are gambling with their warranties. It was not built for scuba divers!

What I'm not satisfied with :

-You can't set the period of display backlight. This can be quite annoying if you read something on the web, you have to push a random button every 15 seconds, otherwise the backlight will shut down.
-The silver glossy paint from the navigation cross button has chipped down a bit. It's not very visible, but I wonder for how long it can last. Tip : don't push the navigation cross button with your fingenails.
-The pick-up/hang buttons are too small for bigger thumbs. It's a matter of getting used to it, but if you have to pick up the call quickly and you don't look at the phone, you can accidentally push a nearby button.

Otherwise I'm quite satisfied. C702 is a decent middle class device, suitable for urban people and outdoor trips as well. It has it's flaws, but which phone doesn't.

i have a problem w/ my c702 i've been using it for a year unfortunately after 1 year unit warranty problem exist when a week ago after using my phone w/ usb it cant charge anymore... everytime i tried to plug the charger w/ my phone it says BATTERY CANNOT BE CHARGED. MUST USED SONY ERICSSON BATTERY, so i bought a new original BST-33 battery coz i thought my old battery that comes up w/ the unit is already worned out but still same problem ocurred. I'm planning to take my phone to a sony ericsson service center by next week hoping they can find solution to my c702... does anyone here facing the same problem the way that i do?...

> In reply to Anonymous @ 2009-10-14 23:52 from ibjPc702 supports gps. also c702 records qvga video at 30fps. k810 has xenon flash but records qcif video at 15fps. c702 videos are acceptbla but k810 is not. furthermore, c702 is newer phone with faster cpu and better firmware capabilities. therefore, personally i perefer c702. also the price of theses phones are close to c901. if u can afford buy c901.
