  Sony Ericsson C702 is equipped with the Sony Ericsson Music Player 3.0. The player supports MP3, AAC, and AAC+, WAV, WMA, M4A and MIDI file formats and sports the MegaBass equalizer preset. The player can naturally be set to run in the background. If you are not willing to use the media player step-by-step structure, you can directly play a file through the file manager with its classic flat tree structure. Sony Ericsson C702 doesn’t offer additional player skins. Extras, as Shake control and SensMe are not supported by C702.
  The game section houses two games – the Brain Juice and the FotoQuest Fishing; both provided by the Digital Chocolate, Inc. Both games are very good and rather amusing. The FotoQuest Fishing takes you underwater in the role of a scuba photographer where you get to do assignments on capturing rare and beautiful fishes on film. The

  second game, Brain Juice, we see for the first time in C702. It is quite entertaining and involves solving mathematical problems, memory games and pattern recognition exercises.

• Camera:The Sony Ericsson C702 has a 3 megapixel autofocus camera with a dual LED flash, self-portratits mirror and active lens cover. The double purpose alphanumeric keys are a welcome enhancement to the camera handling. The D-pad can also be used for switching between still camera and camcorder, while scrolling up or down changes the exposure compensation.
• Browsing and connectivity:Sony Ericsson C702 uses the traditional Access NetFront HTML browser of the latest 3.4 version. The main improvement here is the integrated virtual mouse pointer. It is a real pleasure to work with.Another interesting and practical feature is the “Find on page” option. When selected, a rectangular window at the bottom of the screen appears. The search is done by gradual typing and the first match is immediately highlighted. More results are available after hitting the find key.
• Location services and GPS:In Sony Ericsson C702 the built-in GPS gets used not only with Google Maps but with the proprietary fitness application called Tracker.Available for free download and compatible with a variety of mobile OS and Java-enabled handsets, the Google Maps for Mobile comes preinstalled in the C702. With Location services you can get help finding your way, view information about your current location and save your favorite locations. To use all features of the Location services internet access is required.
• Features and applications:The Sony Ericsson C702 offers the traditional time-management features. There is an Organizer icon in the main menu and it contains several applications: File manager, Alarms, Applications, Video call, Calendar, Tasks, Notes, Synchronization, Timer, Stopwatch, Light, Calculator, and Code memo.
  The Calendar offers monthly, weekly and daily views. When you enter a birth date in the phonebook, the phone prompts adding it to the calendar.
• Conclusion: A midrange cameraphone for the sports minded, the Sony Ericsson C702 sure brings excitement to the company’s Cyber-shot line. With HSDPA and a good media package keeping company to the capable 3-megapixel shooter, C702 has the entertainment sector duly covered. Add the sturdy casing and GPS-supported extras (the Tracker application is more than welcome), and you’ve got the right gadget for those who like their calls with a pinch of adventure.
• Sony Ericsson C702 debuts along with C902, and the two handsets are worthy reinforcements to the Cyber-shot ranks. Another drawback is the video resolution limited to QVGA. But that’s only a fraction of the otherwise good camera performance. The C702 design is not all cheers. The solid feel in hand and the nice-to-touch surface are definite winners, but opinions were divided on looks.
