News, Review, and Pictures of the Sony Ericsson S710a cell phone
The S710a has a unique swivel design - the face plate swivel 180 degrees to reveal the keypad underneath, but when closed the phone looks more like a compact digital camera. That is from the backside. From the front it could pass as a small PDA. A standout feature is the large 240x320 display screen on the front, while the back side of the phone is dominated by the camera lens (1.3MP with 8x digital zoom) and flash. The swivel must be closed to operate the camera. Of course no Sony product is complete without a proprietary slot for Sony Memory Stick DUO storage (32MB card included). (larger pictures below)
Built-in Bluetooth support allows you to use any compliant headset. Software tools include a 500+ entry contact list, voice memo recorder, alarm, calculator, and calendar. Internet support is good, with a WAP 2.0 wireless browser and support for POP3 and IMAP4 email, instant messaging, text messaging, etc. The Sony S710a packs triband (GSM 850/1800/1900) cell connectivity to maximize your cell reception. Overall, camera performance is way above average for a cell phone, but it will not replace your digital camera for capturing your best photos - but in a pinch, it does an admirably good job. MP3 playback is acceptable but nothing to write home about. Styling is very cool on the WOW factor - is it a PDA, a camera, a phone?
