Sony Ericsson K770 review
Network and connections
Another device from the Cyber-Shot series, equipped with features to satisfy every kind of need. The reception system is a GSM Triband, on the frequencies of 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz. This translates into great signal quality, also considering the fact that it's possible to take advantage of Dual Mode operation with UMTS network. Of course, Bluetooth wireless support is not missing, as well as the USB 2.0 output to use the data cable with your home computer. The built-in modem instead allows you to comfortably browse the Web, taking advantage of GPRS packet data management and the WAP browser.

The design is elegant and refined, with carefully chosen materials to give it a fashionable and charming structure. The body is one-piece, classic Candybar in pure Sony Ericsson style. The designers kept the device's dimensions compact, precisely to offer greater portability; the thickness is in fact 14.5 mm, while the weight is 95 grams. On the front is the screen, an LCD with a resolution of 240x320 pixels at 256,000 colors, to give sharp and bright images. Below instead is the standard numeric keypad, with thin but precise-to-the-touch keys. The sales package includes the stereo headset and the USB cable.
