I also fired them an email re: those queries of yours... they'll probably answer in 1 or 2 days.
@tom
onga eh, nung isang araw binabanggit ko yung s700 sa GF ko... ala pang 3 months yung k700i ko may iniisip na daw akong ibang telepono! heheheh!

I think the SE S700 will be a big hit here in Manila
! I hope that guys from SE have already eliminated those bugs before it reaches the shops

Was there an estimate how much ang magiging price ng S700 when it hit the market?
Posted by Skrue
cant w8 4 d s700 aswell....xcited na rin ako. @JN - tama, sana wla na msydong bugs kpag nilabas
Posted by alfaromeo777
Called SE hotline again. An irresponsible SE personnel answered me. I asked her the maximum memory size the S700i can support; She said 64mb at first; so I told her to check it again. Second answer - she said 32mb, I told her that 32mb is the one included in the box but she insisted that 32mb is the max and that's according to their technical staff daw. I told her next time she should know her stuffs then I hung up. I didn't want to argue with her.
Mas masahol pa sa globe or smart CSR's.. hehe

Any idea about the asian date of release for k500?
Posted by runab0ut
an officemates friend has a 'dealer' s700 unit out... ganda daw. I'll ask his experience on the unit.
Posted by swipe108
woh! no major bugs?
Posted by tom_riddle
Estimated sp of S700 is below 34k.
Posted by alfaromeo777
I was expecting it to be below 30K since it's not even a smartphone... If it doesn't support pro duos, I wouldn't like it.. It's a repackaged K700i with better cam and screen if i'm not mistaken.. nothing much to offer (not even EDGE!!).. 7610 or 6630 has more things going for them since it has Symbian OS.
Posted by tom_riddle
7610 don't have edge either. but i think they will release a S700 with edge. though i am not sure about it. same thing with the price i posted. all are speculations.
Posted by kenski
Hopefully it would be below 30k since it's not a smartphone 4 it to be a viable choice 4 everyone. ;-)
Posted by marik
excellent!! september!!! i've havent got the cash for the s700 though....but thats good cuz you guys can be my lab rats until i can buy it
Posted by kenski
Cant wait for the s700! It would be the most comlete
phone ever imagine the 1.3megapixels cam i still have my old kodak cam w the same resolution now i wnt have to bring it in importnt events! The s700 would be enuf

I also asked about price or price range... they have no info.
Posted by ex_crusader
think s700i is good enough? try to search for MPx300 you'll be stunned. also RAZR V3.
Posted by kr4nc
Youre all talking about the price in $, £ or something else? You said 30k and 34k. Of what?
Posted by ex_crusader
@ kr4nc
thats php (philippine peso), roughly around 650 USD.
oopsss. i changed it na!!!

september?
october?
tsk tsk tsk wala pang mga bonus ang mga tao niyan. well i guess we just have to wait when the SE units arrive here in the Philippine shores officially. I do hope the S700 would have a price below the 30k mark. The P910 definitely would be in the 40k with its 262k color TFT screen and max of 1 gb of memory stick capability. Whew!!!!
However, the Motorola Razor is quite stunning when it comes to design. Wala pa yatang MPX and the Mpx220 dito sa pinas.
To add, from the previous posts, does anyone know the Edge settings of Smart for Edge capable phones??????Any info would be of great help. (I am just making the most of the company issued N6230 - no choice eh).
Posted by runab0ut
The RaZr is goodlooking but may be behind the s700 in features... IMO. It doesn't even matches it spec by spec. What its got is just the titanium housing and being thinner than a magazine.
@kr4nc
Yes it is in our local currency... Philippine pesos, heheh not 6000 bucks but roughly around 600 USD. (still speculation)

according to Liezel and Anne of SESS, by november pa daw lalabas S700... ang tagal.
Posted by jepaz
Malamang delayed yan....most probably January.
Posted by Dragonfly_TP
30k is around $540,-
But that's a lot of money!

talking about specs, i know that razr v3 is no match to s700i's specs, but consider the super thin design and the covering of the phone, the 1.3 megapixel cam with video recording and playback... imagine a super thin phone still power packed.
try to consider MPx300 vs s700i.. even p910 is no match to it (IMHO).
but still i like ericsson, it's just that i want to broaden my choices now.
peace out..
Posted by agu
hmm interesting thread...but it wouldn't be fair to compare the V3 to the S700/P910 (only thing they MIGHT have in common is price)...i could be wrong but if i remember right the v3 has a .3mp camera...S700 packs the 1MP (it really is like a Cybershot in more ways that one), and the P910 is what the P900 should be (just like how the P900 is what the P800 should have been) hehe...Jan/Feb 05 daw ang Razr.
The MPX220 will be out in the next few months...it runs on MS Smartphone and could very well give the Voyager a run for its money.
The MPX (aka MPX300) looks neat- playe with an engineering sample...build quality is typical solid Moto, software was a bit slow (alpha/beta version pa)...should be out ina few months too.
Motorola seems to be making some inroads- which is a good sign for the industry...Nokia meanwhile..well..it seems that their latest offerings are more reactionary than groundbreaking (except perhaps the N7610).
Don't forget Samsung too. They have some well put together units.
Whew! looks like its time for us to start saving money! hehe
Posted by ex_crusader
pardon me if i'm mistaken, but i think that RAZR V3 has 1.3mp camera. aside from that, it boosts 260K colors internal, and an external STN display (4,096), metal body, chemically etched keypad, etc... uhmmm... on the other hand, I THINK, it is safe to compare motorola V80 and sony ercisson s700i... so guys, before you buy your s700i, check out v80 first, you might consider it over the former.. ciao!
motorola v80
also check out MPx100

S700 will have MSD pro, belive me :) V3 have VGA camera
Posted by alfaromeo777
Maki - Really??? how'd you know?
[ This Message was edited by: alfaromeo777 on 2004-08-23 04:49 ]
Posted by runab0ut
Hmmm.... can you verify that?
I'm still basing the specs from the white paper (still as of May) it says Memory Stick Duo - crapper, upto 128mb only.
Posted by mjct6210
yes that is one of the main factors whether to buy s700 (pro vs duo).
btw, a little off topic, i compared the s700 and p910 on esato, i noticed that p910 has an X marked on mp3 feature but has a check on mp3 as ringtone is this correct????
Posted by mjct6210
would it be a good idea to pay for a mobile phone iwht EDGe? kasi network dependent pa din yang feature na yan di ba? so kung di pa capable ang smart at globe e di parang nagbayad tayo sa isang feature na hindi pa nating magagamit????
Posted by alfaromeo777
Both Globe and Smart have EDGE capable GSM networks, if i'm not mistaken.

RE: Memory Stick Capacity of the S700
I watched the CeBit S700 video presentation here on Esato:
http://www.esato.com/news/cebit2004.php?sd=7
The Sony Ericsson representative who was showing off the phone claimed that the Sony Ericsson's memory can be expanded via Memory Stick UP TO 1GB. So I would think this safely means yes, the SE S700i will support the Memory Stick PRO Duo. The 1GB Memory Stick PRO Duo will be made available sometime 3rd or 4rth Quarter this year.
Fun, fun.

Hope the price would just be below 30k, remember that introductory price of k700i is 25k, so we'll be expecting that s700 would cost higher than 25k...baka nga more or less 30k...It's definitely a great camera phone...sadly, according to mobileburn review, it can only support up to 128mb...go to this page if you want to read the review..http://www.mobileburn.com/news.jsp?Id=652&source=SEARCH
but it doesn't matter if it supports up to 128mb only, it's a great camera phone and 128mb is too much for a phone...

does anyone know the final release date for S700 and the retail price?
Posted by *Jojo*
@swipe108 - I guess no one here can give a 'definite' answer as of the moment, the latest I guess is come October of this year . . . Roughly 2 weeks from now mate!

I want the S700
Damn I want it so Badly! Ive got a p900 now and I think the S700 combined with a PDA is more practical But nontheless, Ill be keeping my P900 and probably sell it with a PDA/Cellphone replacement in due time, maybe the P910 or P1000, but still I will be getting the S700 thats for sure!
