    Good Points: One of the biggest screens.
    Camera quality is great, even when you transfer onto the computer.


    Bad Points: It's quite big, and I am still unsure on that twist action for the keypad.


    General comments: The Sony Ericsson S700i was my mobile phone before the Nokia 8800. It's been a great phone, and I have had no problems with it so far. The only gripe would be that I cannot use an MP3 as a ringtone, but supposedly on later models you can. I would not have changed phones if the 8800 never came out.

    The Sony Ericsson S700i mobile phone's great in my opinion...but to many it's simply big. Anyways it looks fantastic; Sony style menu there's bluetooth,internet,infrared and many other functions. Plus-music DJ.
    Maybe a bit expensive,but completely worth it.

    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 small ...

    I have had the Sony S700i now for 5 months. I have just read some of the reviews on this page and can't believe what I am reading. People with many, many problems? I have had not problems with this phone. I took the phone to Glastonbury as the battery lasted 6 days. I must charge my phone say once a week, obviously more I am on the phone for long periods of time. I use my phone for work, so make numbers of calls on it. On the camera front, I have taken some fantastic pictures on it (and that's c ...

    I've had the Sony Ericsson S700i for about 8 months now, so guess this counts as a long-term test. Bought it as a replacement for my T610.
    I liked the idea of a better camera, and the big screen made for easier online services (such as BBC Mobile)

    Reception: Pretty good - I've not had any worse experience that other people in this area.

    Size/Weight: It didn't look too big in the shop, but it does take up a fair bit of pocket space, and the weight is quite noticeable compared to my old ph ...

    I was so looking forward to getting the Sony Ericsson S700i. A phone I could use as a good quality camera, with a memory card so I could print my pictures off. Well I have to say that I wasn't that impressed. When you bring up the photo on the viewer, the picture doesn't look that good to be honest, and the video recordings look extremely pixellated. Plus the hassle of having to swing the keyboard out every time you want to send a text, I had this for two days and sent it back under my 14 day ch ...

    I had been looking for a good camera phone for a while but I found that most had too small of a screen on them as I prefer a big screen, so when I saw the S700i I thought this looks just what I was looking for.

    Previously I have had mostly Nokias but was not impressed with there camera phones as I found the camera quality to be not very good. But the screen and camera quality on the S700i are excellent quality, the S700i is a camera and a phone where most phones are a phone with a camera on ...

    I bought the Sony Ericsson s700i from Vodafone some time in October '04. I couldn't wait to use it as I had read so much about it and knew it had good features.

    My anticipation and excitement was shortly lived as just after a month i had taken the phone back to Vodafone because it would no longer turn on. After a long three weeks of waiting (luckily I still had a sharp gx20) I received a brand new model of the s700i.

    At first I thought the world of it; the 1.3 megapixel camera is great d ...

    Well, after having a problematic K700i, I was offered a replacement by O2. To my surprise it was the new SonyEricsson S700i.

    Introduction: My first impression of the S700i was WOW! The phone is sleek and "sexy" and no where near as big as some pictures make out. Considering this phone is at the larger end of the scale I don't find it to be heavy, in fact I would say it is quite light.

    Design : This phone is something that will get you attention. As soon as I whip the phone out of my poc ...

    All in all the Sony Ericsson S700i is a good phone but there are problems that have been acknowledged by O2....there are software issues but if you can bare with these then you'll be happy.... when it works it works well but when it goes wrong its a pain in the backside!!!

    The Sony Ericsson S700i is wonderful and I bought it 10 days ago. I am thoroughly enjoying the screen and the marvellous resolution and am really looking forward to being able to get the most out of the phone. However I have had tremendous difficulties in getting all the aspects to work such as MMS, Wap Email etc. And am still not there. I admire the Carphone warehouse support line but I hate having to wait in the queuing system to be told that my call is important to them when on 6 differe ...

    The Sony Ericsson S700i is currently without doubt the best mobile phone on the market.

    Compared against other new models owned by work colleagues - including Siemens, Samsung, Sharp and even the great Nokia, the s700i leaves them standing in all departments.

    Bought mine just after Christmas 2004 - FREE handset on Vodafone - 18-month contract - first 6 months half price.

    If your thinking of buying a new phone - especially one that will turn heads then look at the SonyEricsson s700i. ...

    This phone caught my eye straight away, looks brilliant, features are great (as usual for ericsson)and so easy to use. Emailing a sinch as well as exploring the net. Gaming cool, really clear 'cause it's got a wicked SCREEN, so BIG it is! I swapped my Z600 for this and so far not looking back. Z600 used to freeze a lot with a software glitch but not on this model. So Far that is! They could have made this a little less bulky as I'm sure small is the way to go! shame tho 'cause everything else on ...

    I've had my S700! for 1 month and have falllen in love with it. Previously I had Siemens ME45 which pales and rots in comparison with S700i. Not only because S700 is functionally superior, but also because that old one is so-ooo boring.
    SCREEN. S700 literally shines with it's screen. It can be used as a keylight, so bright it is. Screen is better or on par with Motorola's V3 in terms of colours, resolution and brightness.
    BATTERY. The first full charge lasted for about 60 hours, next ones eac ...

    Sony Ericsson S700i Review

    This phone looks like something that Inspector Gadget would have built in to his wrist!
    OUT OF THE BOX
    the S700i comes in an ordinary cardboard box, which contains:-
    -> Sony Ericsson S700i handset
    -> some random Battery Pack (SE)
    -> Charger
    -> Sony Ericsson's Headset
    -> get this: a 32 Mb Memory Stick DUO
    -> Instruction Manual
    ...that's exactly what you'd expect in a standard box for any phone.
    When you actually see the handset in its plastic bag you reali ...

    I've had my Sony Ericsson S700 for almost a week now and I'm very pleased with it. If your looking for a phone with a great camera then this is the one for you!
    Previously having the SE T610, I found the menu to be as easy to use and not too tricky to learn the newer functions.
    The back of the phone very much looks like a camera as some of my friends thought by looking at it. Also the pictures are almost as good as any digital camera.
    The phone includes, games, vodafone live, media player, ...

    I Nearly went for the Sony Ericsson S700 after waiting months for its release. Problem is it's just too big. If only the designers could have squeezed it down a little and they'd have had a winner. The quality and materials of the phone are as good as ever. We should really be seeing 2 megapixel phones by now and I bet it will be spring 05 when we do. Sony Ericsson need to take a leaf from Motorola. Use quality, tactile metals to give a more luxury feel and SLIM it down. We KNOW THEY ARE cap ...

    I bought this phone on the first day it was released, and I kept it for a few days and returned it as I was not very impressed with the phone. The design is nice but very awkward to use. Camera is great and is the best on the market. Speech quality was not very good, and there was a lot of interference, also the menu system was very slow, compared to other phones. I mean if you attach a picture on a phone number, when that person calls you it takes around 5-10 seconds before the details and the ...
