Only had this phone for a week and already the letters are rubbing off on some of the keys especially the WXYZ and MNO also battery goes low very quickly lestt than two days. I wonder if anyone else has this problem. The phone itself is very slick and smooth, radio very good reception, not tried camera yet but it seems easy to follow. I must admit its mine 1st mobile thats got alot more to it so need to spend some time on it but very disappointed with the keys

Yes I know I might be writing this in 2009 but still................ I used to have this phone, and it was very good for what is was. Very good camera, pretty much all the capabilities that a modern phone has these days.....(e.g nokia E95, Nokia E96, Samsung Soul), very impressive really. But 1 bad thing. The navigator!! For example when you are scrolling down your contact list you end up selecting half the contacts and ringing them before you reach who you want in the list. Now i have the Sony Ericsson T2801, which isn't as good I dont think. No video media at all. Quite simple. But yet capable of doing other stuff i guess.

Hello, Actually, I was attracted with the cool stylish Sony Ericcson k700i the mobile phone is good, only that the hassle is its joystick that if a user does'nt have a good flex enough things will surely disappear on the process of operating the phone, but it coud have been good if its integrated camera was embellished by its designer with at least 2 megapixel resolution

My dad got this phone in 2004 and when he upgraded (in 05) i think to a k750 or k800i or something he gave me this one. It has been a great phone. It has a few hundred pictures on it and many funny videos which i have taken over the years and the overall funcionality is great. The battery deteriorates over time though and in early 07 when i was using this phone a lot, it wouldn't last the day if i was taking pictures and videos. This camera was pretty good for a camera on such an old phone and the pictures i took were very clear (as long as the pictures were taken outdoors)and the camcorder capsbility was quite good as well. It wasn't exactly up to the 30fps 640x480 recording of my cybershot but it's quite impressive for such an old phone (i think it is 10fps 120x200 or something). Another one of my gripes with this phone is that there is an MP3 player yet no external memory so you can hardly store anything on there, definitely not a multimedia phone. T-Mobile are r ubbish and they have deactived my sim for not topping it up for a few months and because of the condition of this phone i am going to abandon it and buy a samsung E250 or something like that, there is also no way i am paying the fish-cakes at T-Mobile �10 (which i don't even get to redeem in credit) to reactivate my sim. Also because it is a T-Mobile phone, i can't use any other sims which is a shame.

OK...First a phone have to be a phone... calling people and answering calls... and hearing the other person loud enough! BIGGEST PROBLEM: After 1 year of having this phone it happens to offten that when somebody calls me the phone shuts itself even with plenty of battery. Often I was in certain crowded places and rarely I could understood what the other person said; Plus, the rechgarge cable.. is kinda tricky. Other then that, nice toy, has plenty of features. But like I said, a phone first have to be a phone not a toy.

pretty rubish after a while you carnt hardley store more then 10 full songs and thats without any pics or games.The camera is good and is very good at recording videos but the resolution is not so good and you carnt get rid of the shutter noise or change it,the phone itself looks good and very modern but can be easily be scratched i sould know i have had one, The most annyoing thing about it is proberly the way it freezes all the time and the joystick can get dirty very easily so you carnt use it and to clean it you have to take the whole thing apart, the music sounds good and has a very good base and tune but it is let down by the tiny long speaker in the back. the effects on the camera are great if you feel you want to mess around but the night mode is slow and takes awile to take a photo.The torch is very bright and easily lights up the background but easily takes half your battery away. overall i think it can be worth getting if you the sony ericcson type but th ere are plenty of better ones out i suggest if you are looking for a sony ericcson for music and great quality look for a walkman.

Its an alright phone, but when trying to transfer music from my pc to the phone, i had to buy a �15 cable from sony ericsson, once i got it, the install instructions werent very good and every time i put the cable in my PC, it froze =[ I found it very hard to actually get a song onto the phone, it took about half an hour to put a 5mb song on. And after that, it wouldnt connect to my pc anymore. My battery died every few days and had to recharge it alot which was a downside, but the bluetooth is good.

But if u want a phone tht u charge everyday (and that is reluctant for the charger to even go in the socket and charge) then buy it there is loads of gd features on the phone but the cons weigh it down 1) poor battery life 2)camera is average to poor 3)the joystick well u can press it loads of times and just as if it is ignoring you 4)the keypad is very clicky n noisy. I would say go and buy a nokia, the battery life is great and they are built like as solid as a house. Throw a nokia and it will work fine, but these will fall to pieces. The best sony ericsson to buy is the T610.My old 1 is still goin.im going back to that

Great wee mobile phone. Apart from the joystick being a little stubborn at times, this is by far the best phone I have had and I have had some which are 'supposed' to be better. The K700i does all I need it to do and I can buy all accessories for the PC which makes it simple to use all facilities on the phone to communicate with others via the PC - great for office use. Also has decent memeory and pretty good camera. Don't like the cheap feeling of the repalcement cases, but I always use the protective case anyway, so no bother there. The soft cases could be more imaginative than only BLACK, though.

hi, ive read so many reviews, and sometimes think the writer is either biased or inexperienced to give a proper and meaningful review of a mobile phone. i am in my 20's. i like all the nice shiny-light-up-gadgety-things on the exterior of a phone yet i also like the simple features inside a phone. i rate a phone on its features, practicality, and general effeicincy, so that other people who have some "proper experience" with checking the ins-and-outs of a phone from top-2-bottom can get a simple and genuine overview of what they plan to buy as their new mobile. SONY K700i the phone reminds me of the "mowbli" phone cartoon used for the CARPHONE WAREHOUSE ads. -the joystick gets worn out easily, but ive been using the numberbad instead as a joystick. -the phone does everything perfectly, the phone is almost faultless for a mobile from its year. -the phones been dropped literally 100's of times, sometimes i dropped it on purpose!! it has survived 3 visits to the toilet and still went strong. -the phone has provided me with 3years worth of excellent service, even though i have many upgrades, even the K810i, i still used this phone, until yesterday.... after years of batterring, the phones software has developed a problem, and doesnt charge anymore. this phone is easy and great to use for beginners to sony ericsson phones. ///////////////////////////////////////////////// i have used mobile phones since 1995, i am in business and require 8 mobiles for different purposes. ive used every brand including the siemens, and original Ericsson brick handsets and sony Z & J series. i must say that overall if your lookin for a mobile, then get a SONY ERICSSON! they are abit fiddly to use at 1st but are simple, as with everything, with practise. furthermore i have many friends and relatives who work in the mobile phone industry, either as network staff or mobile phone shop owners...i can safely say that all of them prefer using sony ericssons. *SE phones are jam-packed with latest features, but tend to look and feel abit cheap in some models. *Samsungs just look nice and shiny and are useless for practicality and serious use. *Nokia are for the die-hard fans who think Nokia still make great phones like before, which they dont. N95 is packed with new-gen features, but is slow and not efficient. *MOTOROLA is just for the guys who wanna look cool flipping/sliding open their phone! apart from that their rubbish to use. ive had God knows how many V3 look-a-like motorolas, and was recently offered the new Z8, which i refused without a moments hesitation. *LG is a waste of time and money. ive used and returned the CHOCOLATE, PRADA and U880.

Dodgy phone. Joystick stops working constantly, battery life is poor when using Bluetooth. Can't set handsfree speaker before call is connected which is pointless if you're driving. Also, it has a sharp edge on the top and hurts your ear when holding the phone.

Right, some time ago, i loved this phone, but really, its one of the worst encounters of mobile technology ive EVER come across. 1. The screen can break very easily, the pixels inside will damage EVEN when not, i repeat NOT exposed to any excessive force! This will cause some of your screen, to, well, break, i guess. Disgrace. 2.Battery life is very low, now i wasnt expecting 3 months stanby time, but when youre doing something important, BANG! battery dead. Oh yeah, and the charging block is very vulnerable, Had to get mine fixed for 20 quid. Disgrace. 3. JOYSTICK IS...BAD! after a month of having your phone, your joystick will basically not work properly, and when you press left, itll be as if you pressed the left softkey! Not just left by the way, everything! Now i cant even use the joystick, cleaning wont help, nothing! Disgarace x3. 4. Last but not least, the bloody annoying "turn-off-at-random-time". What the **** is this? talking to a nice girl, "hey, would y ou maybe like to come on a....!?!?!?!?!?" The phones off? WHYYYY? ARGH... gosh, SE have a big prob here, big disgrace, lucky it it didnt get a poor from me. Hmph!

If you want to record things on it then it isnt the best but if you want to talk pictures and videos then it is good quality.

Poor connetivity between the tip of the charger and the charging point in the phone. I need to shake it soemtimes to get the message "Optimied charging" in my screen. 3. this is the major problem that I am facing: JOYSTICK DOES NOT WORK -- Sometimes I need to literally use all my energy to make the main menu appear. Also two of the directions (which I use frequently) are not working in the joystick. 4. As with all Sony Ericsson phones, the key pad is poor compared to Nokia counterparts.

The battery is poor- it does NOT last 300 hours, even if not used. It tells you the phone is fully charged when really the battery can be almost dead. The camera quality is terrible and the video quality is even worse. The mp3 player sounds as if you have recorded something off of a tv or cd player. The buttons are a NIGHTMARE to use because they aren't separated. Do not buy this phone if you are looking for something with any quality.

Even though i know several people who have had problems with there joysticks (k700i/k750i)mine has had no faults at all. The price was decent at the time as well only costing me �100 on Vodafone. Features such as the Mp3 player, radio and been able to change themes and wallpapers was great. However there are downfalls to this phone. One thing that anoyed me was the fact that vodafone had locked the feature that lets you have an mp3 as your ringtone. This ment been stuck with the old standard ones.(had my phone on silent for most of the time because of this.) Then theres not been able to add extra memory. I think theres around 50mb on the phone so only about 10 songs could be put on. The video quality wasn't the best either not mensioning the VGA camera. Not being a mega pixel camera was very disapointing. I also found after about 4 months i was bord of this phone. There was nothing to do. Overall this phone has served me well but i'm looking foward to getting the new k800i or w810i greatly as i am terribly anoyed with lack of memory, picture quality and just purely bord !! 8/10

I have had this phone for 4 months having changed from a very old Nokia, so i've gone up a phone generation or 2 but still a couple away from state of the art. Compared to my old steam driven mobile this is great. I paid �80 from Vodaphone and consider it excellent value on that basis. As a standard phone with low usage I get approx. 4-5 days use and standby on 1 charge. I use the calendar/appointments feature which is reasonably easy to use and I can set up a reminder in advance of an appointment which works! The contacts section is easy to use - a bit like Outlook on the computer. I like the way you can scroll between home and mobile numbers etc. Apparently you can also add addresses etc though I have not done this yet. Standard texts are easy to input and I have found the text input intuitive with a good dictionary. The camera is pretty poor by current standards but fun if you have not had one before! The screen is good giving good clear text and background. It would have been good to be able to tone down the display light as it gives off as much light as a small torch which is not always wanted in dark conditions.I like the different screen profiles that are available. The radio was a very useful feature on the phone but you need to be in a good reception area for it to lock on to a signal.Again, it would be nice to have a reduced screen brightness option. Bluetooth is a must for any new phone these days which this one has. When the phone is in standby, a clock can be displayed in large text with a backlit option - who needs a watch! So far I have had absolutely no problems with this phone and it has performed to specification, however, this is not the latest generation phone - you will need to spend more to get all the latest bells and wistles.

Do not, i repeat, do not buy, give as a gift or even think about this phone. I'm on my 6th k700i now, and let me tell you, when my contract up up with Vodafone, i will be looking as far away from a sony ericsson produst as my eyes will take me. If you like messing around with phone feature and pretty buttons, then battery permitting (because it will only permit for about 20 mins), this is the phone for you. But, if like i do, you rely on your phone for work or personal calls you'd rather not miss, then maybe your should consider 2 coffee cups and a piece of string, or maybe a carrier pigeon,trust me, these would last longer and probably work better. This is the worst phone i've ever had, and like a mentions before, 6 replacement handsets is beyond a joke. Avoid this phone as if it was route canal surgery!!!!!

Had this phone for a year and can't wait to get rid of it. Yes the features are amazing but the reliability is not. It doesn't matter how pretty a phone is if it doesn't work. So here it is: The stupid little mouse thing stopped working properly after about 2 weeks and even when working is very difficult to press in (rather than up/down/left/right). The wrong names are retrieved from the phone book when people call me and often no name is shown (yes they are in my phone book). Screen goes white / blank and drops calls. Worst of all - goes into a state where it looks fine but can't make or receive calls, can put you incommunicado for days without you realising.

Well, what a phone, much better than my old O2 X1i, yeah laugh all you like! I got this phone 1/2 price, �74.99, from �149.99, totally worth it. Got a few minor problems, one being the battery life! The battery only seems to last for a few days (3-4), but there is a nack in making it last a little bit longer. When the battery is in the "red" charge it as usual, don't worry if it is not quite empty. Do this for about 4 - 5 times, then let the battery run out completely, so that it is 'flat'. Then charge the phone for about 10 hours, and see how is goes, if you do this occasionally, it increases the battery life, for about 7 charges, then it loses it again! Bluetooth, perfect, although I have problems with my o2 Blue Headset. It connects perfectly once paired with the K700i, but loses connection between the 2 if they are placed at least 1.5m away with no clear obtructions (i.e, in the car, with headset in one ear, and phone in holder on the dash, and loses connection! Headset flashes like hell, till the pair r next to each other, not ideal when driving and talkin, defeats the whole purpose to be honest! Overall, 4/5, good phone, would neva go back, although the Samsung D600 and the S.E W800i looks swish!

When I first got the Sony Ericsson K700i I thought it was FAB!!!!! I thought it was everything I could ever want! Later on the joypad kept on playing up and I thought it was just a one time thing. But it wasn't, the joypad wouldn't allow me to move left! AT ALL!!!!!!!!! I was very annoyed by this as I could only move it right to get to the option i wanted. The other problem I had was that after I had locked my phone it would somehow unlock itself and would keep sending blank text messages to the first person in my address book. Once I found out that I had sent about 30 blank text messages in one day!Before this had happened my total balance was around �13.00 when I checked after it happened I had only about �8.00!!!!!!!!!! Also the battery power is very poor an only lasts for about a day and that's it! I also felt that whenever I was using the camera and taking photos it would only capture the photo 2 seconds after the photo I wanted. So say if I was takinga photo of my friends smiling after I pressed the button it would delay by 2 seconds and take a photo of them relaxing(not smiling)instead. I think Sony Ericsson should take a good look at the comments and improve their next phone!

I have had this phone for about 18 months now and i am still very pleased with it. It has everything a phone should have and a decent camera. However the battery power is very poor, lasting maybe a day or so. That said i have found some ways that would make the battery stretch for far longer (the longest i got was a week and 2 days). The tips are: ALWAYS LOCK YOUR KEYS WHEN YOU ARE NOT USING YOUR PHONE this is really important as the screen light is what mainly takes the battery. Plus you will still revieve calls and texts even if it is locked. When your phone is NOT going to be in use turn it off! You might think that if you put the phone into powersave mode it saves battery - nope best to not do that as it actually doesn't make any differnce at all... probably even makes the battery go faster. ALWAYS (cannot be stressed enough) turn OFF any applications or internet browsers when you have finished. This includes menues aswell. If you want to put a load of flashy customized backgrounds and screensavers, make sure they don't move. This also helps the battery. One more problem with the phone is that the design is quite poor at time for example the back of the phone near the battery always comes off.. i MEAN always. I have had to tape mine back a few too many times. Apart from those things, it's a very good phone if not the best of it's class.

On this model Sony Ericsson has clearly tried to cater for everyone, and pretty much succeeded. It has ample functions, but the only problem is- because they have crammed so much into this phone the functions overall are of slightly less quality. But if you a willing to sacrifice quality for quantity then this is the phone for you. This model was brought out about a year ago now, so it’s getting on a bit. Capture aspects - The camera quality is quite poor compared to what is out now. I took this phone on holiday and used instead of a digi. it has a night mode which is not very effective, so I don’t use it at all, but it features a light (which can also be used as a handy torch, although hard to turn on in a hurry as you have to be in capture mode) which makes decent night pictures - preferably portraits or close ups. I have 120 pictures on the phone atm, and it can hold about 600 more. So plenty of space but only because the pictures are so tiny and very low resolution. The video recorder is amateur, and blurs at the first sign of movement, but after using this for a while you learn to avoid that a little somehow and video capture isn’t too bad. It has a zoom function which is quite good and easy to toggle whilst recording. Out of ten I would give these features about a 6.5 only because of the extreme advance in the past year on camera quality. Making phone calls - this phone has quite a good speakerphone function, but can only be turned on once call is connected. It has speed dial options which are not too bad. It is really easy to see previous calls, all sorted into missed, dialled, answered. This is possible the most useful function in this category. Phone book - you can easily separate numbers stored on phone and sim or combine the two. You can also hold various numbers under one contact with different symbols displayed for either mobile, work or home, which are visible when phoning or answering. You can also attach pictures to contacts to easily see whose calling. Texting - texting on this phone is one of the best. I have always thought nokia's to be the easiest to text on as well. It has predictive and tap mode. And tells you when you run over the text capacity into a second text. There is multiple receivers function if you want to send to many people in your address book. It features a sent box, inbox, drafts box, outbox. It also has a SMS meter which you can clear whenever you want to monitor the number of texts you are sending. Mp3 and music - it has an fm radio and mp3 player with about 32mb of internal memory. Unfortunately it’s not expandable. A handy aspect is the ability to minimize the mp3 or radio player and use other functions whilst listening. One of the downsides its there’s no headphones input. You have to listen through the headset provided, which contains a built in antenna. Which you can’t listen to the radio without. You can preset up to 10 stations and search for stations or turn this off and manually tune them Mp3s can be deleted from the phone. Connectivity - it has Bluetooth and infrared, the infrared is not very easy to use. But the Bluetooth is fine. There is also the ability to connect to a computer via USB - although I didn’t get one of these cables (with orange) Organisational features - it has a calendar with a reminder function. The only downside is you cannot enter events that you don’t want a reminder for, because it always prompts for a date and time etc. it has a to-do list which you can edit and check off or leave for later. And a notes section - which I find useful for writing down CD or book titles when I’m shopping. The calculator is good with easy percentage calculations - great for working out discounts in the sales. It has a timer and stopwatch. There’s a handy alarm function where you can set any mp3 or music file to play at the set time or you can simply set it to vibrate. You can have preset alarms or change it to whenever. There is a function called code memo which is incredibly handy for and pins or pass codes that you might forget, such as chip and pin, seeing as we all has so many and forget them easily. Wap - never used it much. But seems to be of average standard. Windows load pretty fast with easy scrolling. And quick exit out of connection. Calls retrieve function to answer whilst browsing. Battery life - mp3's and games drain the battery quickly. So avoid using if you don’t have access to a charger that same day. Radio hardly uses any thing. After a year I find I’m charging my phone every 3 days. And I take it everywhere with me and use for many things. Durability - this is a very durable phone, I am incredibly clumsy and have dropped it several times normally from quite a height. The screen has remained unscratched. Other - there is handy volume buttons on the side which whilst in a call will alter the call volume. Whilst listening to music will alter the music volume and so on. And when not using a function will alter the phone volume - being the ringing volume and text alert volume. There is an orange world access button to serf wap in one click. And a capture button which takes you straight to the camera or video recorder. The display can be changed in various ways, the time and date format can be changed to 24 hr or 12hr. and it has various themes which change the colour of menu’s and buttons etc, which are downloadable. The input section to feed headphones and charger etc is covered by a rubber flap which now after a year doesn’t seem to fit snug anymore. This phone is great for overall usage. Especially calling and texting if you are not great with highly complicated functions. Great for a student. Overall I would give this phone a 7.5/10 if considering its age within the market.

My rating is based on a years use of the phone. Pos.: Small, stylish. Nice clear screen, a little small though, but it works well. Fairly well-working menusystem. I used to have a Nokia, so it took a little time to get used to. Good sound-quality. Lot of more og less usable features - mp3-player, radio etc. etc. The photo-lamp is handy - not for photos, but as a small torchlight..! Neg.: Poor battery-time, and add to that: a LOUSY charger-connector! When I plug the cable to the phone, I'm never really sure, if it starts charging. Most of the reason must be due to the flimsy piece of plastic, that is supposed to cover the interface, on the bottom of the phone. Lots of dust gets in there, ruining the small kopper-connectors. Hopefully SE changed that on the 750i..! On 2-3 occations the phone has just turned of, out of the blue, while I was talking. The screencover is made of a (too) soft plastic-material, that easily gets scratched. The camera is a gimmick that I rarely use. The pictures are way too lousy, to use for anything but screensavers on the phone. The loudspeaker you put to your ear (the phone has got anotheer 'louder'-speaker, for radio, ring-tones etc., placed on the back), is sitting behind a sharp and pretty uncomfortable edge, that will make your ear hurt, after a few minutes of use. So far so good. The K700i has a lot of features that I rarely use, but the basics - including SMS-writing - work OK. There is, as I've mentioned, a few but pretty annoying drawbacks however. I think that I'll go for a Nokia next time...

have had this phone since last Thursday, and I can assure anyone thinking of buying it that it iis BRILLIANT. Sure, it doesn't have the battery life of a high end Nokia, but then again, it isn't hard to charge it every few nights. Also, some people have comlained about dodgy firmware, which is only upgradable by some from of usb-pc link, but the newer ones should be OK anyway. But if you can get over the admittedly poor battery life, this phone is truly stunning. Reading specifaction list simply isn't enough, you have to experience its ease of use. This thing is constantly sucking up to you and trying to make things faster. It has an exellent interface, allowing for fast and simple setup of bluetooth connections to other phones and computers. The phone near enough guided me through the process, rather than me trawling through manuals figuring it out (like I did with my old Motorola). On top of this, it serves as one of the best multimedia phoones money can buy. The phone utilizes an exellent Java 2 engine, with special tech which allows for great 3d games. It also features a stunning screen, showing every detail in crisp, sharp colours. The onboard memory is very impressive, for storing games, ringtones etc. As an MP3 player, however, it is a little underwhelming. Still, you can put the odd low quality MP3 on for use as a ringtone, which will sound mind blowing due to the phones brilliant loudspeaker. Not forgetting the video capture and sound recording abilities, this is one of, if not THE best phone money can buy. And at #89.99 Pay & Go from O2, it doesn't burn a hole in your pocket either. Buy this phone now, I promise you won't regret it.

The cover over the charging slot is a good idea but difficult to open unless you have super long sharp nails and sometimes the battery charger doesnt always register once plugged in. Apart from this I loved this phone and now its broken I am sending it back for a refund and have ordered the new sony ericsson k750i which I hope will be good!!! though it was a hard choice as to go with the k700i again orthe k750i!!!

hi, i wos extremely excited about getting this phone, i loved it and i still do, even thou it wos stolen. however, i would point out a few things about it which i realised after the novelty wore off 1 - the joy stick looks cool but sometimes it can be very frustrating to use. it is easy knocked and will start loading up something totally unwanted when u are in the middle of something. 2 - the camera quality is brilliant, but the video quality is fairly poor. when i brought the phone i ignored bad reviews about the video quality cos i thought i would hardly eva use it- but by the end i wos using it more often than the camera to film stupid things - its alot more fun. also the soom on the camera is hard to work out. 3 - the battery life is very annoying. one minute my phone wud have a full green bar and the next it wud b on a warning red. the battery just goes in a day, and i turned it off at nite! pluis, the battery hole cover it very tricky to use if u havent got sharp nails to pull it out, and in the first week i nearly ripped it off cos it was so hard! 4 - the mp3 and radio are hard to use and understand and i didnt even get them 6 months later if you want to get the phone get it! it is really nice, just not the most reliable one out there. it looks lush but is really hard after a while of txting and the keys are very close together. one thing i did notice was that my phone wos rapidly slowing down and taking ages to load up stuff, it wos stolen before it got any worse, but wotch out, deleting other stuff to make mre room doesnt work! i have been offerd the same phone again as a replacement for mine, but im getting a new one - everyone has got this phone now, i think it has lost its WOW factor that i loved. hope this load is of use - PLEASE dont ignore my comments if ur really serious about it cos thats wot i did, and it isnt that amazing once you have had it a while - very boyish!

I have had this phone since last Thursday, and I can assure anyone thinking of buying it that it iis BRILLIANT. Sure, it doesn't have the battery life of a high end Nokia, but then again, it isn't hard to charge it every few nights. Also, some people have comlained about dodgy firmware, which is only upgradable by some from of usb-pc link, but the newer ones should be OK anyway. But if you can get over the admittedly poor battery life, this phone is truly stunning. Reading specifaction list simply isn't enough, you have to experience its ease of use. This thing is constantly sucking up to you and trying to make things faster. It has an exellent interface, allowing for fast and simple setup of bluetooth connections to other phones and computers. The phone near enough guided me through the process, rather than me trawling through manuals figuring it out (like I did with my old Motorola). On top of this, it serves as one of the best multimedia phoones money can buy. The phone utilizes an exellent Java 2 engine, with special tech which allows for great 3d games. It also features a stunning screen, showing every detail in crisp, sharp colours. The onboard memory is very impressive, for storing games, ringtones etc. As an MP3 player, however, it is a little underwhelming. Still, you can put the odd low quality MP3 on for use as a ringtone, which will sound mind blowing due to the phones brilliant loudspeaker. Not forgetting the video capture and sound recording abilities, this is one of, if not THE best phone money can buy. And at #89.99 Pay & Go from O2, it doesn't burn a hole in your pocket either. Buy this phone now, I promise you won't regret it.

Piece of badly designed JUNK Just swapped my k700i for a very basic nokia fone. Much happier as the last 6 months this phone has been rubbish. Only thing it has is its looks good and promises alot (did my research beforehand and thought it looked great on paper) Problems: Battery must be charged everynight even with minimal basic use/ without using bluetooth/ cameras/radio. Phone software: Painfully slow, drags and stalls when going thru phonebook names. Stops for about 2 seconds then jumps down about 10 entries. Text messaging is a pain; doesnt keep up, so you cant see what u are writing- gave up using it for texting in the end. 40 mb memory: You dont get the full memory, its more like 35 mb, as the ringtones/pics etc take up space. Also very difficult to get anything on/off phone. You will need Digital rights management for any songs you do eventually get on to the phone. Messages: Messages disappear after you have saved them as drafts. When you re-edit them there is no option to resave and if you back up they sometimes vanish. Photo quality is very grainy. No zoom-in on saved photos. Make sure you have plenty of time, if you want to scroll thru your camera pictures. Folder will show 4 on each page and takes about a minute to load next page. Buttons: The tempermental buttons had to be pressed 2 or 3 times on the phone before they worked. Try not to use the control stick for shortcuts, as it brings you UP instead of LEFT and so on. In short a nightmare but not as annoying as the slow texting/phonebook drag. All in all, the phone's navigation is not intuitive and it doesnt get any easier even after 6 months. You can spend ages looking for something like "Delete all messages" to find it isnt even an option on the phone. Feels like its designed by an 8 year old. Take my advice- dont get this phone, as you'll regret it. I did.

What can i say...This phone is briliant! Even though this isn't a new phone anymore, it is still better than most new phones coming on the market. Not all phones still have the same quality of camera, an mp3 player, and the ability to record videos and send them. Also its got such a cool look to it, i still get comments now about how nice it is, even though its a reli popular phone now! The screen is really nice, crystal clear and big, like half the size of the phone! And the phone is nice and small. The typing wasn't hard to get used to, and the only time i ever find it a problem is when im drunk! The video and camera can zoom in up to 4xbigger (the camera can do this when you put it onto a smaller picture size). When you put the photos onto the computer (i do it via a laptop that has infra-red) the photos come out a good size and clear as if from an expensive digital camera. The mp3's can be put on via infra-red or bluetooth aswell, coz otherwise you have to buy a special sony ericsson lead for the computer which they charge a lot for. They do take up a lot of the memory. The songs sound really good quality and sterio. I just put a few songs on, and use the rest of the memory for photos and videos. If you want to listen and store lots of songs then buy an mp3 player - this is just meant to be a phone! The phone has a reli cool feature, when listening to music on the headphones you can say a special word that you have pre-recorded, then the phone recognises it and beeps, you then say the name of a person you want to phone (which you will have also pre-recorded). It then phones that person, you don't even have to touch the phone or the headset, how cool is that! The radio is also a good extra feature, and usually has good signal. This phone has so many cool features, i've had it for 2 months now and im still discovering them. I reli recommend it, especially as it is now so cheap (you can get it for around #80/90). It is definately worth more than the price. It would still be #200 if it were by samsung.

This is a fairly good phone 4 its price, around #100. It has a very good camera but when indoors or in dark areas the phones light and night mode doesnt really help which is disapointing. Its has really cool effects though but if your are after a good camera phone get the samsung d500 or the sony ericsson k750i with an amazing 2 megapixel camera. The bluetooth is really good for sending songs, videos etc 2 your computer or other phones and also comes with infrared which isnt really very useful but at least it has it anyway! This is really good 4 games. It has a really cool tennis game with 3D graphics and its very addictive. Nice themes and the ringtomes r good and also it has mp3 ringtones and if u want you can make your own polyphonic ringtone using musicDJ. The memory is a bit small as it you want songs on it as mp3 files tend 2 ne around 5mb which really eats up your memory. Overall this is a good phone but not as good as what is out there nowadays. Oh yeah it has a radio.

I got this phone 3 days ago and have Ive only charged it once and there's still about a quarter life left, so not sure what all the fuss about the battery life being so poor is about. Used it for calls, photos, videos, radio, playing games and texting so far. It's a great phone, the photos and video stun everyone Ive shown; and such a lightweight little phone and yet has so many features. I would have liked a USB cable with it but with bluetooth and infra-red included cant really complain - my laptop has infra-red built in. There is a quasi-flash function with the camera to enhance the light available, which is also useful as a torch at night for finding your keys etc! Overall, excellent value for #89.99 on Orange pay as you go which includes a free bluetooth headset. I've had it unlocked as calls and texts are cheaper on Virgin, who don't sell it anymore. I thought about using Orange but they're call costs just aren't competitive, and texts are a rip-off at 12p. Virgin's are 3p to other Virgin phones or 10p to other phones; also 15p for the first 3 mins of call, whereas Orange charge 25p. If you get it unlocked, call Virgin customer services and they will send you all the settings you need. There is a significant update to this phone, the K750i with a higher quality camera and expandable memory, it costs over #200 at the moment and to be honest the camera on this phone is pretty stunning as it is. On the K700i you can set video to short clips, or for an unlimited length. Video is both image and sound. The memory is 41MB, which is pretty good. Highly recommended.

What a let down I've had two in a week now, they both just kept freezing up. This aside the phone is ok. The ringtones are a bit too quiet, also the earpiece seems to be very quiet as well. It has an excellent mp3 and radio and the camera is fantastic. Although the build quality is a bit too fragile for my liking. The menu is longwinded to get to certain files but the phone does have a few good touches. If you are wanting one I would wait for a while until all the software problems have been sorted out. O2 have stopped selling them until the end of June. I bought mine from Virgin who I have to say have excellent customer service, but two phones in a week I think I'll try the Samsung D500 which a lot of my friends have and I've heard no bad reports as of yet.

I am really disappointed with this phone. I read all reviews and got it on the recommendations, but it's been most frustrating and unreliable. There is definitely a software problem as sometimes the screen is all garbled and out of synch, I've lost count of the times it's lost the Bluetooth connection and then cannot find my headset device at all. I'm returning it to Vodafone who are sending me a replacement. Unfortunately I have to have another one under warranty before they'll change the manufacturer. Battery life is poor, but I knew this and gave it the benefit of the doubt. The address book setup is also not very well thought out and navigation around features can be really long winded.

The pics are kewl, the ring tones nice and loud etc I have had absolutely no problems except.. 1) if you don't keep it in a case the silver paint gets scratched really easily 2) there are no "birthdays" or "recurring tasks" options in the calender argh! 3) if you accidently select the wrong the recipient after typing an sms, you can't remove the recipient, which leads to you having to delete the sms and then retype the whole thing over again, SO annoying! i have also had problems sms'ing my sister in the UK, the sms only goes thru when i hit "reply" to the sms, not if i send it through straight. this could be my crappy network operator though (cellc, avoid!), although they deny it's them. all in all it's a good phone - i would get a samsung D500 though if a had another choice though, a collegue got one the other day (they werent around when i got the K700i) and it is definitely better.

I would say that this phone is actually quite good. It has all the features that I needed, well, sort of... I like the shape and the design. I'm no good using phones but I found this phone very easy to use. The things that I don't like this phone is that it doesn't have USB cable, Sony Ericsson should give us USB cables with the phone, so I don't need to buy a Bluetooth Adaptor to send my pictures from my phone to my computer.

I have had this phone for a couple of months now and as I have always used nokias it took some getting used to! Lately it has been switching numbers in my call lists so i think im calling 1 person but another person answers! Very strange. Also often when i receive a call and look at my call lists afterwards it says the call was from another number in my phonebook! Apparently this is a common problem? My friend has the same phone and hers crashes regularly! It also takes a while for a phonecall to connect e.g. when i answer the other person cannot hear me for a few seconds! Overall a good phone with good features but a few technical problems that you dont get with nokias!! May stick to nokias in future!!

I can only echo what many others have said before! This phone is outstanding! I am truely impressed! This phone includes everything; MP3 Player, VGA Camera (with 4x digital zoom and night light) that takes pictures and records long videos (with sound!), a radio, a massive 65k large colour screen, has Bluetooth and Infrared, a fantastic ringtone composer called MusicDJ, spectacular games, a photo phonebook and more. In a nutshell, this phone is everything a modern phone should have and more. I can't think of a feature this phone does not include(except video calling!). Now, before I purchased this phone I was very much a 'Nokia person'; didn't believe there was a phone on the market that was better than a Nokia. I was seriously wrong! If you are a 'Nokia person', don't let the fact that this phone is a Sony Ericsson stop you from missing out. In fact, the phone being a Sony should persuade you even more to purchase it! I mean come on! It's Sony! What more can I say? You are not going to find a much better phone camera than this one. Sony are, after all, one of the top three camera manufacturer's in the world!! You really will not be disappointed AT ALL!! Well, maybe slightly. The battery life on this phone isn't the best the world has ever seen but I do not see this as a reason to deprive this phone of a star; there are far to may plus points to this phone. Why are you sitting here waiting you're time reading this review? Go out(but not to a Vodafone shop as Vodafone have disabled the feature to set MP3 files as tones, the one-click camera feature (as you may already know you can turn the camera on its side and use a button on the side of the phone especially for taking pictures; like a real camera!)and have made the options menu look cheap and old by using 4 colour icons) and get one NOW!!! Thanks for reading my review of the Sony Ericsson K700i. I hope you found it helpful and informative.

I have only had my new K700i for a week so far. First impressions its a cute lightweight phone. I was disappointed with variety of ringtones however....there isnt very many and they are quite poor. Same goes for pictures and templates...there is only 1 template for "running late". Mr previous motorola v600 had about 10!... One thing I dont like also is text messaging...there is no indication as to how many characters you have left before it goes on to your second text so therefore I imagine my bill will be high as I dont know how many messages Im sending each time I send a text...could be 2 or 3 or even 4!...does anyone out there know the maximum characters for one text message? As I have not had this phone very long I guess I cant give a definate opinion yet but its gotta be better than my previous motorola v600 which kept switching itself off!

What can i say? After owning a nokia 6100 and a Samsung v200, this fone is simply awesome! The list of features on the K700i is just breath taking! Its the most advanced fone i have ever owned. The fone is perfect, battery life for me is excellent after owning a v200 which required charging everyday! The menu interface is very user friendly. The picture quality on the camera is really clear, the video capability is fairly good but it does pixelate when there is fast movement, none the less, it beats the quality on the nokia 6230. Even though this fone does not have symbian software it is in my opinion the pinnacle of the series 60 phones. Absolute quality! I really recommend buying this fone especially at the knock down prices nowadays!

Comparing the k700i with nokia's latest offerings, what stands out is the overall quality of the sony, from the amazing screen to the audio features, it just does everything that you'd want from a mobile. OK, there are things that could be better, like more memory, but at the beginning of 2005 you can't get better for the price.

Had this phone for two weeks now, and all I can say is, outstanding. Its does absolutely everything brilliantly. I had a Panasonic X70 before this, which I loved. Dropped it unfortunately, and couldn't get another. I wanted everything it had plus. It had to be sexy looking too. Having done my reseach it came down to the Motorola V70 and the K700i. I liked them both, but my main hesitation re the Motorola was the very mixed reviews I read re the software in it. As my Panasonic was out of action I borrowed a friend T610. I liked it and I found the software very intuative. I think this is what swung it to the K700i for me. Plus it has a video record feature, and radio & MP3. The sony was free to upgrade, and the V70 was going to cost me #100.00. Job done. I love everything about this phone. The display is excellent, the camera is very good for a phone cam, the MP3 is handy, and the radio has excellent reception. Texters will love it too, the buttons are very positive and have a good feel. The only small issue I have is the battery life. I put mine on charge most nights, and I suggest you get a car charger. I think the main reason people complain about the battery life on this phone, is because you can't put the damned thing down. Its just so nice to use. The only problem I have at the mome is I can't get the sychronisation to work with my PC. Bluetooth works perfectly though. All in all this phone is a gem. Buy it. You won't be disapointed.

Camera not so clear when pictures has been saved as it goes a little fizzy seen better on older phones but its not %9 it will have to be about %8. 2. Camera video its a good video when you record but like the camera when viewing back its not so good as its goes a little blocky so i will give it %8 like the camera. 3. FM radio %9 for the radio its excellent the sound hear where i live is very clear never goes jumpy or anything its just spot on so it has to get a 9%. 4. Speed of phone people say sony ericson's mobiles are very slow and they freeze but i don't understand because every sony ericson that iv had never freezes they may of been a little slow but the K700I is not slow or never freezes on me so it has to get a %9. 5. Colour is 65k and its very clear in the menus and on picture that has been downloaded from wap or net so it has to be %9 6. Games they are very good games that you can download also the games on the handset is cool 2 so it has to get aa %9 7. Memory the memory on the handset is 41MB and that is a big space for a mobile so that has to get a %9 8. Features theres lots of features on this handset its got everything that you could need on a handset for child's and adults so it gets a %9. 9. Price its not worth the money as every mobile is never worth the price because in UK they are very high on prices but you will pay that sort of price for a handset these days so for the K700I it has to get a %7 like every other high price handset would get as there to dear. 10. Battery people say the battery life on the K700I is bad but i disagree the battery life is not as good as nokias battery life but its got so i will give it %8. 11. Best uk networks to get the handset on virgin, o2, orange (NEVER BUY IT ON VODAFONE) hear is the % for these networks virgin %7 o2 %8 orange %6 vodafone %1 if you have got the cash get the K700I sim free its %9 if you get it sim free also its unlocked to all networks. 12. K700I altogether i will give it %9 that is excellent. ------------------------------------------------- Ok people i hpe iv helped you make your mind up to buy this handset or not but my last words are (Buy it)

This is the best phone I've ever had, and I get a new phone every year. I didn't like the look of the model down from this last year and the joystick put me off, but I did not like my current Samsung E700 and I thought I'd try the K700i out. The joystick does take a while to get used to and once you have, everything is a doddle. I got frustrated with the joystick going to different places when you go up, down, left and right, but you can select your own shortcuts in the settings menu. Now I have my most used functions at the flick of the joystick! It has a great file manager for all your pictures. You can create folders (just like on Windows Explorer on a PC) and name them to store different pictures in. You will take lots of pictures because the camera is excellent! You can choose picture size and effects, aswell on the video camera! There are a lot of fun animations and screensavers. The radio function is excellent, really clear! Although where I live there are interferences, but not enough to bother me! You can store many different stations, I have 5 stored. You can minimize the radio screen so you can do other stuff whilst listening!! Same thing with the MP3/4 player! Which is also excellent! (I MUST find time to add some more tracks on my phone!) You can use them as your ringtones!! Excellent phone book info storage. Not only can you assign a ringtone to a contact, you can store a picture in their phone book profile so that when the ring or text you, the picture comes on your screen! I love the organizer section, I couldn't live without my calender! or the note pad!! or the phone!!!!!

I have now been using my Sony Ericsson K700i for 2 months and can happily say that I have not had any issues to date. The interface is simple to use, battery life is good (last between 2-3 days in business use) and camera functions are satisfactory. My only slight grumble is that there seems to be a tiny delay between when you are connected to when the receiving user hears you. So at first I found myself having to announce myself twice! Although I'm not sure if this is a network or product issue! All in all I am very happy with this phone, and I am hoping that because there are no slide or flip open mechanics (which have been on my last 2 phones and have both caused issues) that no problems arise.

A great phone, best value for money. Has 41MB of memory, more than enough for he average user. Very good display and first phone I've seen that can display moving wallpaper (animations like lights moving around the screen as a background, basically like a screensaver, it looks awesome). 3D Java games are a lot of fun and look impressive. Camera and video very good and although Sony doesn't advertise it, the K700i has a extended picture size option that extends the image to a 1280 x 960 resolution, which technically makes it a 1.3 mega pixel camera, not just a simple VGA camera on all other phones. Battery is very good, one day I took over 300 pictures at 1.3mp resolution and 18 40 second video clips and it still had a little juice left, and many of you know that even standalone digital cameras don't last that long. And although many might complain about the battery life it's because of continuous use, you won't get better. In conclusion, with the camera, video recorder and player, mp3, 3D games, build in FM radio and all he other bells and whistles you'll never get bored with the K700i. Awesome phone.

It is a great phone.
