You can send your pics direct to your website (there are built-in clients for Blogger, MySpace and Picasa) and while there's no GPS on board, you can geotag your pics using bog-standard cell-ID if you feel the need.

HSDPA connection

The browser includes BBC iPlayer and Youtube apps and though it has a fast HSDPA 3G connection, the W705's Wi-Fi connection makes the most of streaming video. Browsing is a largely painless experience too, with the onboard accelerometer flipping the screen to landscape, the better for viewing web pages, and incremental zooming readily accessible.

In keeping with Sony Ericsson's habit of including slightly bizarre features on Walkman handsets, the W705 includes Walk mate, a step counter that you can set as your wallpaper so you can make sure you keep your daily exercise up.

Battery life was pretty good too, giving us a good three days of moderate use, even with Wi-Fi switched on permanently.

The W705 may not have anything in the way of traffic-stopping new apps or interface, but as a solid, midrange update on the Walkman range, it's very fine indeed.
