really, have you tried it? i dont think so. it has 1.3mp cam. yes there is no mp3 but do you really need your phone have one? better try it first before saying "BORING".

That is because the S65 is a megapixel camera, pictures take up a lot more memory. 1.3 is on par with some digital cameras, most of which have MMC slots.
S65 is a nice looking phone aswell!

yeah but in that logic k700 should also have an expansion slot considering that it can take pictures in extended 1.3 mp mode.....
and 1.3mp doesn't take that much space, i mean you can easily have 60 pics on a 128 mb with a 5mp camera....

The S65 is really not that special

It has a big - but not very good screen. Low resolution compared to screensize and dull colors. Comparing the same pictures on both phones and the K700 screen is much higher quality - much sharper and brighter/better colorreproduction.

It has a memoryslot - but no ability to playback musicfiles of any kind neither mp3 nor AAC/mp4

This also means no mp3 ringtones.

Videorecording/playback is subpar to the K700 - K700 can play back mp4video with highquality AAC smoothly - S65 only support low quality amr and playback is not as smooth as K700

It has an 1.3mp camera - but quality is not particularly good - pictures have litle color and for instance the 1mp camera of N7610 beats it hands down.

heres a link to a good comparison
http://home.online.no/~rontonic/s65vs7610.htm

It has adopted the menu from S//E - but my guess is because siemens whish to save battery they have designed the menu rather boring with few colors. Some may say they like it - but I see no point in having a colorscreen and not using it.
But no complaints as to the function of the menus or the filesystem - these work fine.

Design is very nice I think - but keypad feels cheep and way to small for comfortable use.

All in all - its a good standard phone with a megapixel camera - but nothing special to rock the market and certainly not anything that should make S//E ashamed of the K700 - which sports more possibilities than the S65 and in a nicer way.
