Go for the G and get GPS included as well?

Yes you will loose the GPS if you take the walkman edition,and yes it's true that big screens are very nice for mp3 players like my fabulous Samsung P2 and that a 2.4/2.6'' screen are very comfy for a phone

I don't know much about sliders. do you lock the phone by shutting it? have you access to the phone without unfolding the keypad?

I like the G looks better, classy whereas W is a lil fuzzy.

Yes. This phone will lock and call will end when you shut it. You can answer a call by sliding it down. That is better than the dual slider of Nokia N series where you sliding down won't answer the call or shutting the slider won't end the call unless manually pressing the keys.
To access without sliding, you need to press the left shortcut than press the ok shortcut.

GPS is a gimmick I seldom use on the iPhone and would not miss it on a W705, but I would like to have a

phone for the first time. I like the styling of both, but the W uses VodafoneNZ frequencies (W-CDMA 900, 1900, 2100) only while the G705a can also use TelecomNZ frequencies (W-CDMA 850) and I'd like a phone which can do both but it's not essential because I intend to get a 3G wifi router
Also the G705a is available very soon but the W705 is some months away - I think.
So it's

features vs multiple frquencies and less waiting time. Hmmm...

TBH the walkman features are not much, if you mod your phone with walkman acoustics then you loose very little

GSMArena have their review up:
http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_g705-review-301.php
Good review, but full of errors of the phones they have compared the G705 to. Says W705 also has wi-fi and GPS (No GPS in W705).

The keypad (numbers of the keypad) lights are White or Green on the G705 Majestic Black?
