Good Points

Good camera. Good MP3 player. Good reception. Decent audio quality. Reasonable battery life. User interface. Themes. Excellent screen. Quite good tones. Speakerphone. Bluetooth. Ease of use.


Bad Points

It looks good until you've seen a K750i, and then all of a sudden it's not quite so impressive. Bit bulky. Camera is not so good indoors, and it doesn't support full screen video. Fussy with memory cards.


General Comments

I bought my Sony Ericsson S700i mobile phone off eBay, and I was impressed. It's a good phone, and it does everything I need, and more besides, plus it makes a decent phone for calls/texts. However, the camera quality is good for a phone, but it won't replace your digital camera. For shots when you've left your digital camera at home, it does a decent effort. However, a friend has a Sony K750i, and that camera is absolutely awesome! That could be your sole digital camera. That phone is smaller but more fiddly.

A few points that seem to have come up.
It is very easy to use, but does take some getting used to. The user interface is great once you get used to it. Once you get used to the keys, they're fast to text on as well. After about a week, you'll be at least as quick as on a Nokia.

The camera is good outdoors, but indoors is far less impressive, but it's still good for a phone.

You can put MP3's in folders and play that folder, and that stops you playing ringtones by mistake.

The phone will crash if you overload it, or sometimes if on a GPRS site it doesn't like it, but just take the battery out and put it back in, and it works no problem (rebooting only takes about 5-10 seconds anyway!)

It's fussy with memory. It is supposed to support 128MB, but that card will not work in my phone! It works on the K750i, so it isn't faulty.

All in all it's a very good effort, but the K750i is in a different league!
