Stereo speakers? Nice!

Another thing, which battery will be used by the T700? BST-33?

Hmmm. Not quite convinced by this one. Not assured a warm reception I think.

The Red Variant looks great! Now here's to hoping Orange dont whack all their Nasty branding over it!!
Posted by totalgsm
Looks like a basic phone .
Posted by Angello
Hehe the red color looks best
Posted by xell
My personal favourite is the silver one. The recommended retail price on this one is by the way 120€ less than W890's was. Instead of 399€, this will go for 279€ - or, as we know SE's prices, even less.

The demo tour is rather cool

Wow, T650 pwns this phone.
Posted by PeterKay
like it.
Posted by Aware
So, we're supposed to want an extra 0.1" of screen, instead of AF cam/decent sound...um, ok......
A bridge too far
...you forgot that T610 had pioneering features(cam etc) for it's time! Shocking......

What's the point? If you want to enjoy the stereo then you have to keep then phone pressed to your forehead.

Let me see

I love the size of it and after going through the pics on se-sommunity the design has grown on me, but I'd still rather the W902- has more bang!
Posted by strizlow800
Yeah another good phone imo.
Posted by PeterKay
Posted by iwantin
looks like a plain looking w890i, same features, different package, down to the same rear cover locking mechanism.
even the "stereo" speakers are the same, ie front and rear.
Posted by se_dude
Only it will retail at less than 200 euros as gsmarena puts it. A bestseller IMO.
Posted by titus1
It's as simple as it gets. If only the cam has auto-focus...
Posted by SilveR.
This one is mid end phone, I guess the price will be around 200-250 euro
Posted by xell
Pick your choice.
The T700 does look a bit more balanced as the T650 to me...
Posted by jcwhite_uk
Another
with basically the same specs as a lot of other phones. Is their answer to losing profits not to bother with R and D and just rehash an old phone?
Posted by Raiderski
phone: 4/10
girl: 9/10
Posted by Bonovox
Looks like a T280 to me. Again though its nothing new from SE just same features in another similar looking design. Shame. Think SE team need a sacking.

Once again poor implementation of fastport, there were several w890 users who claimed that fastport being on the side and the phone being slim, it was difficult to hold the phone while listening to music or while charging.T700 seems to continue sonyericsson tradition.
As i noticed straight form sonyericsson's official press pictures of w595

I guess its a nice market oriented phone. Don't think SE will always make phones with bombastic features for me and you. There are other customers which may have different needs and budget than us. I guess you got my point but any ways T610 was a legend and it continues in the form of T700.

Far to similar to other SEs. W890, T650 and now the T700 - all rehashes with similar specs and design. They could of at least added a 2.2 inch screen, auto focus and say GPS/wifi for a full feature device.
Posted by sunrise_
No video call camera, blah.
T700 or W890i - one of them will be my next phone

Please keep to topic. Exchange PMs if you like to be picky to each other.
Or open a thread in garbage.

Really nice handset !! New look on SE phones look great (going square like g705), but w902 is more rounded like out of date, don't you think so ? Even its buttons (d-pad & yes /no) are round like w890, think should be squarish like t700. Or square buttons just for stylish phones & circular buttons for walkmans ??

Ironic self-depreciation?
Posted by WhiteEye
Sleek. IMO it looks more classy than the round-edged W890. Me likes.
Posted by Sony α
The Red Variant Reminds me of the following JPN Handsets -
SO903itv -
SO906i -
T700 -

if we take into consideration the current nomenclature that SE uses, doesn't it follow that T700 (higher index than T650) should also have higher specs?
Granting that the a200 plus the slimmer profile is the upgrade of t700 from t650, SE should have at least retained the AF cam and not downgraded it with a Fixed focus cam
waiting for the true upgrade of t650 that has wifi and 5mp

No AF
Man is SE good at making "blonde" phones...

Nice phone with desent features. I would like to have those features in my K610i

SE website mentioned about video calling using main camera for T700.
Is it true and why?
Posted by bart
no blue color?
and omg!! they pay so much money to people to launch this phone, and they don't add AF.
They won't even get close to half the sales of the T610, another Q comming up with a break even or a loss.
I think the time is right for SE to split and for Ericsson to take controle of the situation and lauch now new exciting phones with a design we can all call home made.

It might not have the best specs, but it looks awesome. I need to get it
