Alright some questions for anyone out there lucky enough to own a S700...

1) Has it got mp3 msg tones or are we stuck with the same old few as usual?

2) What's the picture quality really like. Could someone post a couple of sample shots?

3) What's the video quality like? Better or the same as the K700/P900/P910....?

Cheers

Burgaz

1) Unforunately we are still stuck with the rubbish ones that are preset.
2) The photo quality is very good. A lot better than any phone camera I have seen before.
3) The quality is very good for video. The only problem is that you cant have full screen videos so you are stuck with a very small video.

Hopefully SE might enable full screen video in a firmware update.

@Burgaz

I would have thought that enabling support for full screen video playback would be possible through a firmware upgrade.

Are you talking about recording video og just playback of video encoded on computer ?

Recording video is the same on S700 and K700 - and so is playback.

Playback of properly encoded mp4/3gp video is brilliant (for a mobile phone) on both K700 and S700. If it isnt, its not been encoded properly.

@Burgaz

It does seem strange that SE should leave out such an obvious feature such as full screen video support, but hopefully they will realise their mistake and implement it.

the P800 didn't have full screen video when it first came out and they implemented that in a later firmware update.

perhaps they will do it in future to be seen to be giving the people what they want!
