As the T-series of Sony Ericsson is slammed into oblivion by the K-series, they have announced the new slim-styled T700 in an attempt to revival its classic T series. With the design which is inspired by T650, and robust set of must-have features that you’d expect from a Sony Ericsson phone. Seems it is simple but functional.



Standard stuff: a Battery, a Charger, a USB cable, a handsfree, CD and Manual.







T700 with a premium metal finish just like T650. Weighing in at just 78 grams and a thickness of just 10mm, the handset fits perfectly in one's hand.







The keypad layout and navigation pad is clean and clear. And so happy to see that Sony Ericsson have ditched the infamous navigation joystick and have replaced it with a sleeker D-pad.







The back of the phone. Very clean design layout: Black (which is made of metal) on Silver (which is made of plastic).







3.2 Mega pixel camera located at the back together with a self-portrait mirror. On the right side of the lens, it is the LED flash and the loudspeaker grill.







Here’s the M2 memory card slot which is located at the bottom of the phone.







On the right hand side of the phone, you may see a dual volume/camera control key and a sliding release key for the back cover.







On the left hand side, you may see a microphone pinhole and holes for attaching a neck or wrist strap at the bottom.







The TFT display measures 2" in diagonal which isn't quite what you'd expect in a higher mid-range tier handset. As a simple phone, it‘s still ok~

Here’s the standard Sony Ericsson Menu layout.







The phone has a timeless yet fresh Sony Ericsson design which is thin and reasonably small in size. The UI is user friendly and the quoted battery life is pretty good too with up to 9.5 hours talktime. However, the camera appears to lack autofocus and the small display will be the drawback. As a mid-level phone, T700 is more than enough to meet all your needs in daily with a phone.

The version that I reviewed is the Asian Pacific version and it comes with three themes. One is called the Leehom and the other two are in chinese. Comparing to the C902, the C902 comes in couple more. The version of C902 that I see comes with Clarity , Futurism, Lazer Precision, Shuttershine, and the red carpet. Lazer Precision seems to be the coolest I think.

Great photos. Also seems that the phone comes with some new flash theme. It is interesting, maybe it's old but haven't seen that one.

Actually don't believe that until someone that has hands on experience with it... It may say stereo on the site, but are the speakers well placed to produce great sound?

The stereo speakers will be like they are on the W890i one on the back and the earpiece acts as another speaker only when listening to music, not when the phone rings.

When the phone rings only the back speaker is used.

I got a brand new T700 yesterday. It's really nice. However - when setting it up, I chose language to be determined by SIM and most everything is in English - except a few file names are still in Chinese! I tried again setting the language to English (as opposed to "According to SIM") and still - a few file names in Chinese.

I can't find a way to edit the file names either since they are LOCKED files (having come with the phone).

Any thoughts?

It looks like the good old T610
