Sony Ericsson BeiBei G702 review

BeiBei is one of the phones that were leaked from Sony Ericsson's portfolio of cancelled phones. Few prototypes were actually made available, and the one used for this review, was bought from eBay.

BeiBei was supposed to release under the name of G702, although its working name was P220i, and the release date was October. The device features HSDPA, WiFi, built-in A-GPS, a touchscreen, a 3.2 megapixel camera, 128MB of RAM, a 208MHz CPU, and runs on UIQ software platform.

The review concluded that the phone worked well, and didn't need constant restart like otherwise speculated. The same goes to the software, which carries impressive components, such as the X-Pict Story slideshow and QuickOffice. Not everything was good news as the GPS took too long to lock, and the radio didn't work. The device would be fully functional if the manufacturer paid attention to it, but for an unknown reason that will probably never be known to us, the phone was cancelled.
