    If you like the specs on the C702 but are not sure if it's the phone for you, you can also consider the Nokia 6220 , the similar spec'd C902 or even the Nokia 6500 Classic . Read more

    which I reviewed a few weeks ago and loved. Like the C902 this is an entrant in Sony Ericsson's Cyber-shot range and its emphasis is on camera capability. Read more

    Not as tough as its rugged rivals but a solid if slightly dull mid-range camphone Read more

    It's rugged credentials may be a bit suspect - it's more Ross Kemp than Andy McNab - but this is still a great little mid-range phone. The 3.2-megapixel camera is more than competent and packed with features, the music player does a better than average job and we found the AGPS system a breeze to use. Read more

    The Sony Ericsson C702, while boasting some appealing features, particularly the built-in GPS receiver, remains in the C902�s shadow. Read more

    Felt I had to add more to my review after owning the phone now for a few months. I got used to the funny keypad when sending a text but still have to use two hands. Experiencing similar problems with phone hanging & repowering at will, emergency calls only, inactive SIM etc. Techie husband told me to upgrade firmware & all would be resolved so, after several hours downloading 4 separate bits of software from the web I had the phone backed up & upgrade ready to go, only...

    Fairly good phone given that I got it as part of an upgrade so didn't need to pay much for it. Two things to watch for a) the music does tend to jump a bit which is annoying and b) don't believe a thing about battery life, it's lucky to get two to three days with only minor use and satnav/bluetooth etc all turned off. Limited experience with the camera but it's OK outside in decent light. Indoors has given mixed results but it'd be Ok for the occasional snap. Read more

    I'm not really into mobile phones and what the latest gadget is so this review is based on how useful the phone is. I don't care if it is the latest or the earliest or the smallest or the one with the most ringtones. I don't know and I don't care. Basically, I got this on a contract and have never looked back. My main love for this phone is because of the absolutely superb camera. I just can't fault it. We take our digital camera on holiday because the quality tends to... Read more
