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.
