Mr. Handy-Hobby-Phony, the Sony CMD J70
Positive about the Sony CMD J70: extremly easy to operate, handy for beginners
Negative about the Sony CMD J70: no mobile for business use
I am an employee in a callcenter. I constantly have a phone in my hands. That's why I don't really like making phone calls in my private life. Despite of that I bought the Sony CMD J70. Guess nobody can do without a mobile nowadays. And I went for the Sony CMD J70.
The Sony CMD J70 is of a noble silver colour and it has a long, slim shape. The Sony CMD J70 merely weighs 92 g and even fits into the pockets of my tight Capri-pants.
For my needs, as a handy newcomer, the Sony CMD J70 is the ideal choice. The Sony CMD J70 has a great ease of use: simple menu guidance, good display. I learend writing and sending SMS easily with the Sony CMD J70. Since I prefer writing SMS with the Sony CMD J70, I am really glad about the SMS-memory capacity of the Sony CMD J70. About 20 SMS can be saved on the Sony CMD J70.
I tend to just throw the Sony CMD J70 into my handbag, I am blessed that the display of the Sony CM J70 is scratch resistant. Unfortunately the cover of the battery of the Sony CDM J70 didn't take it as well as the display. But Scotch tape was of some help.
The Sony CMD J70 serves as hobby and leisure time at once. I write about 10 SMS a day. Coming in handy about that: the battery of the Sony CMD J70 survives about a week. Of course the battery performance is narrowed down if I make additional phone calls, so the battery only survives 5 to 3 days, depending on how many calls I make. The Sony CMD J70 is a really great companion!
The organiser function of the Sony CMD J70 has become inevitable for me. I need to cooridnate my dates with the Sony CM DJ70. If the Sony CMD J70 alarms me of an appointment, I exactly know: work 'till 8 pm and then fun! The Sony CMD J70 is my perfect leisure time-arranger.
Even the games of the Sony CD J70 are ok. I didn't even know that there were games on the Sony CMD J70. The Sony CMD J70 covers a funny "monkeys throw bananas at another"-game. I don't play the other games a lot: PicPuz, Mindblaster, Sandart. I am a loyal monkey-player. The big display of the Sony CMD J70 with a resolution of 96 x 96 Pixel is ideal for these games.
I have never had any problems with the reception of the Sony CMD J70. The Sony CMD J70 still has an external antenna. Friends of mine, who know more about mobiles than me said that the reception performance of the Sony CMD J70 is of average quality. I didn't realize that. The sound quality is really satisfying.
Transferring data with the Sony CMD J70 is only possible via a cable. Other features, that could help with transferring data, are not included in the Sony CMD J70. But the Sony CMD J70 is meant for a simple daily use only, as I said, a Handy-Hobby-Phony.
