Though the phone is rock solid with a bunch of features, it has certain drawbacks as well. Lack of WiFi is bummer. The screen is a little small for a Cybershot phone (Could have used a 2.5 inch screen at the least). C702i is a value for money phone and is alright if you are on a strict budget. But if you are willing to spend more then you should look out for C902i, the big brother of C702i!
