Ericsson G502 Review
Phone rating: 
In a nutshell: A lightweight 3G phone with a classic design,
user-friendly keypad and a good range of features, including a 2
megapixel camera, a music player, an FM radio, and a memory card
slot. In addition the G502 excels at mobile email and web access.
Sony Ericsson have a lot of mid-range 3G handsets
that all look pretty much the same, and at first glance the G502
seems to be just another one. Its specs are very similar to the
K660i, for example, and it
looks quite similar to the K660i too. But the clue to the G502's
purpose is the G in its model number. The "G" range is
PDA-flavoured, and G series phones include plenty of tools for organising
your life.
The G502 is good for mobile emailing, with a nice
functional keypad, push email (messages are sent directly to your
phone as soon as they arrive) and support for Exchange ActiveSync®.
This allows you to synchronise the phone with Microsoft Exchange
on your PC, so you can manage your email accounts whether you're
at the PC or on the go. With HSDPA giving you download speeds of
up to 3.6 Mbps, you can easily send and receive emails with attachments.
The G502 is also a good platform for accessing
the web. As well as a web browser, the phone supports RSS feeds
via handy RSS widgets. There's also a built-in weather application
that shows you 3-day weather forecasts, wherever you happen to be.
With Google Maps, blogging support, and easy access to Google search,
the G502 provides a rich environment for mobile information access.
The display is of high quality, but we would have
liked a larger screen than the 2.0 inches provided. This would make
the web access just a little easier.
As well as the mobile internet and messaging applications,
the G502 has a 2 megapixel camera. Equipped with a flash, this produces
acceptable results, although it cannot compete with the cameras
on high-end phones. The phone also has a good media player and an
FM radio with RDS. Memory is limited to 32 Mbytes, but the phone
can also accept memory cards up to 4 GB. Connectivity is by USB
cable or wireless Bluetooth. Finally, battery life seems to be excellent.
The G502 is not an expensive phone, being priced
at something around the £100 mark, or free on contract at
around £20 per month. It's a good phone for anyone looking
for mobile email & mobile web in addition to other standard
features.

Great overall phone, my only regret is chipped paint on the keypad
(I must be touching it too often, because it's soooo useful).

Never regret with this phone. Nice music,nice java games & HSDPA
network. Best price for a pretty simply smart java virtual machine
and HSDPA phone.

Really nice wee phone, simple to use and lightweight. Not had a
problem with it, and its been a week now since it popped through
the letterbox. Very happy. The only thing i would check though,
is that this review says there is a flash. Unless I am particularly
dim, there doesn't actually seem to be one...
