5.0 out of 5 stars
Form and function together, 9 April 2009
The thing I like most about this phone is how easy it is to use. My last phone had Windows Mobile and it wasn't exactly intuitive but this one comes naturally. The camera is surprisingly good quality (3.1 megapixels) and as you'd expect from Sony the phone itself is extremely well made and very compact. All in all very pleased.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excels in every way!, 28 Aug 2009
As a Sony fan, I expected this phone to be good but it has surpassed all expectations.
I also own the W200i which is good but I've found myself using the camera more than I ever anticipated so it was time for an upgrade - and I haven't been disappointed. The camera is very good with far more features than I anticipated including auto focus, white balance, a panorama mode (even my still cameras don't offer this!), scene modes (eg landscape, beach/snow, twilight..), 4 photo resolutions, effects (eg sepia), spot metering, and a light with most of these also available in the video mode together with the ability to pause and resume filming a video. Post-production, the phone also offers a basic editing facility via Photo DJ whereby exposure can be corrected and red-eye removed.
The music player is similarly impressive with track recognition, good sound quality, a spatial stereo effect and equaliser - and yes, I really am describing a phone and not an MP3 player! Mobile TV is available and videos can be downloaded for playback. Naturally, there is a radio too and reception, using the antennae incorporated into the headset, is very good.
The phone will support up to 2GB M2 memory stick which will hold a large number of music tracks, photos and videos and a 256mb M2 memory stick is supplied (which also includes bonus ringtones, graphics and animated screensavers).
The organiser mode exceeds all expectations with a calender, no less than 5 alarms, calculator, timer, stopwatch and there's a handy LED light providing a useful torch.
I travel frequently and enjoy browsing maps. To my surprise, Sony have come up trumps once again by including Google Maps and a GPS location facility on the phone so wherever I am I can always access a map of any area and zoom in/out to the level of detail required, together with directions to another location and even traffic updates along the route - incredible!
Navigation throughout the mass of quality and useful features is both simple and logical with clear menu screens and a crystal clear display.
With all these features packed in a compact unit, it's almost possible to overlook the fact that the Sony K770i is actually a phone and, once again it excels. Internet browsing, email, predictive text messaging, video calls and even ordinary almost old fashioned voice telephone calls are available. Used as a phone, battery life is good, the sound is clear and bright and the phone simply cannot be faulted.
It's quite incredible that so much can be packed into such a small, neat, well-designed package but this is what Sony do best - and they've excelled themselves once again with the K770i. A highly recommended purchase.

Spend a little more, 1 Sep 2009
a nice looking phone, enough features to keep you happy, usual sony very easy to use quality, decent camera.would of got 4 stars but no zoom in camera mode (only in video mode for some strange reason) ok screen quality and average quality photos. i do rate sony phones and this my 6th one, my last one being the K850i which is probably my least favorite of the lot but still pretty good in-between the touch screen buttons freezing that is, and this feels a bit of a step back in some ways. think i'll spend a little bit more next time
