yes the d500 is a tough act to follow!

the photos I have taken on the d500 have been of excellent quality, so I cant really fathom out why you judge that the sony ericsson has higher quality? on which basis do you make this judgement?

I wholeheartedly agree that to be quibbling over what is better is very childish. I reckon that both these phones are of high quality, but I personally like a stylish phone, that doesnt rotate! never seen such a stupid mechanism.

and as for cost, why dont you just go for a contract then it wont cost you anything, or dont you actually use your phone to make phone calls or for sms?

maybe if you stayed in a quality country like the UK then you would appreciate more!

If u read reviews from mobile review and other users forum who have use both S700i and D500, you will noe that they agree that the S700i have a better camera. I am not saying tt the pic taken from D500 is lousy. Bt juz tt they prefer the S700i more.

I can only reason that their photos are lousy because they didnt use it properly or just cant take a decent picture anyway, most women are crap at taking pictures I find.

What are you trying to imply by saying 'quality country like uk'? If you like the D500 more than the S700. Its good. But does that make the S700 a bad phone? Stop being childish.

@jonnysax

please dont be sexist against women, where would we be without them

and dont diss other countries by saying the uk is the best, because for some aspects it may be (in ones opinion) but for others it may not be ! i.e. govigov!

You are an xenophobic, sexist idiot, unless you are deliberately making inflammatory statements, in which case you are just stupid. To answer your question, yes I do have a PC. Are you aware that your PC needs to be infra-red or bluetooth enabled, or you need to buy a compatible adaptor, as the D500 not only does not come with a data cable, but Samsung also do not manufacture one for it. No? Didn't think so. And my opinion is based on personal experience and the fact that, given that mobile phones are the industry I work in, I have the benefit of a fair amount of info on the subject at my disposal.

Get your facts straight and post something vaguely worthwhile...

i think the real spawn had a good point on the first page of this thread. the d500 seems more of a k700 competitor than s700.a better comparision would be between the k700 and d500. the s700 for me is a bridge between the mid ranged k700 and high range p910.
for people who want a phone that can do a bit more than the k700 and doesnt have the obvious multimedia problem of no expandable memory but isnt as feature packaged as the pseries as they have no need for third party apps, the only obvious problem of the s700 as a serious media device is the limit of full screen vid playback which is such a shame, hopefuly se will sort this out

@realspawn - wow only $300 for the s700, thats cheap ! its unbranded ? and unlocked ?

i believe d500 is one of samsung's better phones in design and functionality but it still doesnt beat the s700

I live in Denmark too. The $300 deal for S700 on friday is with Telia contract (dont think Telia is branding them though, but im not entirely sure) - it is however sim locked, but thats just $5-10 bucks to get rid of that. Normal price for S700 without contract and no branding is currently $600-650. Still pricey though, but I got mine at $600 and I love it

S700i - best phone I ever had!

the BT is at least somewhat crippled, in that it does not support the BIP (Bluetooth Imaging Profile), and will therefore not allow printing of stored images to a BT printer.

True but the Ir works when transfering pictures to an Ir enabled printer. I've used it at work.

Theres a data cable that Samsung made for the E700 and E800 to transfer pics etc. It also works with the D500.
