Ok guys, don't blame me but after reading this post in the Mobile-Review forum I'm becoming very sceptical about K700. A guy tested it at work and said the joystick is terrible and the built quality is cheap. He posted also a pic to prove that he has the phone for real.

Here is the past from mobile-review's forum:

(Copyrigth the original autor)

----------------------------------------
I got the K700...
.... but I had to send it back because it has a faulty joystick....

And I got a new one.... Same problem.... And a new one... Same problem....

My collegaues also has K700s with faulty joysticks, meaining we can't use them in our jobs.... Because the joysticks always gets stuck in the cover of the phone...

Horrible, absolutely horrible....


And the K700, it feels soooo entirely cheap, I don't like it at all...


And suddenly, the keys stop working...


Not looking good for this one...

Yeah it's proto, but none other protos I have used have had HARDWARE problems...

@all, it was a joke. Don't take it seriously

In fact, don't take ME seriously, you'll regret it!

Seriously though , I still am planning to buy SE, but you gotta admit that Motorolas are actually solid phones! [addsig]
