Sony Ericsson K700i
Average Ratings
The best SE has to offer yet!
I really liked it, seriously.
I've always had a soft spot for SE phones (maybe because the Ericsson part is swedish) but this phone really is a marrige of all the right things. TONS of room (43megs), lets you transport ANY media like a USB card, FAST bluetooth (4-5x faster than T610), mp3 ringsignals and player, video player, VGA camera and camcorder (lets you take video until memory, not just 30 second clips), a GREAT operating system, nice shortcut setup/tabs/call log/etc., screen is amazing.
The only thing I would complain about is connecting it to Mac OSX right now isn't optimized and the battery life is a little worse than the T6xx series (smaller battery). Otherwise this is THE phone to have.
Great Phone could use some improvements
I have been owning this phone for about 6 months, my previous phone was the T616 I bought this phone because of the features it included: Video, MP3, Radio, Bluetooth, Infrared, Calendar, 3D Gaming, 40mb's of memory, the slick clean look.
Being the predecessor of the T616, T637 I was expecting the battery to be longer and not to drain so fast it will last me about a day of heavy use but my T616 would last 2-3 days using it about the same,
The BAD:
I've also had a couple of problems with the software sometimes when I tried using the camera to take pics or video the phone would just re-boot by itself without warning and I have to wait until it comes back to life again. Another thing that I didn't like after purchasing the phone was that it has no slot for additional memory. The third thing my T616 would have no dead spots in the building where I work and my K700i has had some dead spots where I can't use it to make calls or anything it just goes dead on the reception, nothing what so ever(Cingular)as with my T616 it was great service all over using the same Carrier.The number 5 button is a bit slow
The GOOD:
Music you can fit about one whole album into this phone, The Bluetooth is great I've never had a connection being dropped, computer, headset, other phone or anything, the Remote Control feature is great I use it for powerpoint presentations, gaming is great, fm radio present stations awesome, I haven't had any problems with slowing down or anything i have 345 numbers and emails stored in the phonebook and I sync with my computer just about every other day, the sync is very easy to use via Bluetooth.
Pretty Damn Good!!
I have had 3 new phone over the last 2 months. I had the Moto V600, Nokia 6600 and this K700i. I usually like a flip phone but must flips dont offer what the other phone I look at had. I thought I would love the Moto V600 it was garbage!! RF issues, dropped calls, lockups...it blow!!! The Nokia 6600 was pretty awesome...but a boat anchor...too big, but I did like the feel of the keys even though they were small, joystick was great symbian 60 rocks good battery life!! Good phone over all, however my vehicle has bluetooth tied into the radio (Acura TL) and the 6600 was problematic with it so I went to the K700i, which works flawlessly with bluetooth no one yet does it better and I will argue that til im blue in the face. The battery life on the k700i blows, but doesnt bother me that much because I usually charge the phone up every night anyway. RF is better then the 6600 I have a stronger signal then I did with the 6600 and I dont drop calls where I did with the 6600 or v600 (Chicago T-Mobile) menus on the k700 are pretty fast and the screen is excellent!!! It's a nice small feel so it's easy to put in your pocket unlike the 6600. I use a bluetooth hs-810 moto headset...works awesome, 20 ft away no issues, and the bluetooth to the PC is very fast...much faster then my old 6600. Ringtones are excellent, speakerphone is good...no lockups either, I had a few with the nokia 6600 and way too many with that crap v600, motorola really dropped the ball with that phone. Overall the k700i is very good, but not perfect, the joystick needs a little work and so does the battery, I considered the 6230 but its a series 40, and the screen wasnt that good, not as sharp and the menus looked fisher-price like. But it is still a great phone I just think the k700i is a little better even though it doesn't have the MMC slot...which would have been nice. Sony has a winner on their hands here...I'm tough on buying a phone...and I went thru 4 before I came to this one.
Excellent device
Recently I have upgraded my phone from Nokia 6600 to Sony Ericsson K700i (with the latest firmware update). This K700 is the best phone I ever had. The phone size is excellent (not bulky) and with the latest updated firmware, the speed of the games are superb (I heard that K700 has 3D java engine, wow... the games i've played are really great). I also like the screen resolution, it is very crisp.
I really enjoy my K700i. It is an excellent phone.
WARNING DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE
This phone looks and sounds good to start off with but after about 3 months it starts to break down and not work properly. i got this phone and after 3 months the buttons didn't work and it was really slow i had 2 press the scroll button about 5 times to get it to where i wanted it 2 go. Also when the battery got down to about half way the phone just turned off. This phone is by far the worst from sony ericsson yet.
