Somebody mentioned that K700 can be updated at home. Is this true or not? If it is where can I find the update link? |

Well, I have to say that this is a VERY COOL phone, but that is only when it works properly - which is often times not the case.
I have a problem where my phone does not turn off properly. I turn it off and then 5 seconds later it turns back on. When it turns back on it goes through a 2 second cycle of starting up and then turning off. This doesn't stop until I unplug the battery, take out the SIM, and then put it all back in again. This is SERIOUSLY annoying.
The battery life is also pretty dismal.
I guess the redeeming factor is that there are a lot of cool things on this phone to play with and it is really sleek and cool looking. At the end of the day though I wish I didn't buy it. I'd wait until all the problems are ironed out before buying one for all of you that are thinking of making a purchase.
Good luck! |

The K700 i hav got is completely fine and it is R2A041. Some people complain of its oringinal firmware but i have found out that it is fine. THe R2E011 seems to fix the bugs however i don't think i need the upgrade at all. The battery seems to be short, but that is with high fiddling.
There are probably flawed K700 every once in a while, either way there is the 1 year warranty. |

My batterytime improved from less than 2 days to 5 days with the software R2E011. My SX1 lasts only 4 days with the same use. I have tested it by charging them same time, and the SX1 stopped working 1 day earlier...

No. Only predefined alerts can be used (some kind of stupid SE limitation).

Or what about a vibrating alert for my received text messages? This should be so simple... but I can't find it and I'm not sure if there is a repeating/vibrating alert - any help?

before complaining just upgrade your phone to the latest FW r2l and then you will see that 99% of the problems posted here are corrected!

If you turn vibrating alert on for calls, it should also vibrate for texts |

No, you need to flash it with a flash cable. If you wanna do it yourself you better know what are you doing, or else your phone can turn into a paper weight. |

I'm loving my K700 although I have noticed that bluetooth on mine seems to be temperamental. If i need to transfer anything between my PC and phone, I have to switch of BT and then back on and send the file immediately. After that it doesn't seem to connect. Could this be something to do with the security problems identified with Bluetooth a few months back and SE trying to rectify them? |
