I like SE rather than nokia
We didn’t expect the Sony Ericsson had equiped the Sony Ericsson W705 with WiFi technology, given that it is a middle end music phone. Design wise it doesn’t show innovation – you can see the Sony Ericsson style even with your toes! Not well built and a little shaking though it has metal finished surface. P.S. I prefer black version!
