If I buy my S700i in about 5 weeks time, is the price likely to be dropped a bit by then, and is the firmware likely to be upgraded?
I am buying it from the SE site by the way. |

@Tec9
The price is likely to drop when more networks offer the S700 as competition come sinto play, but I wouldn't think the SIM free price will come down much, if at all.
Since there have been no major bugs reported yet I don't imagine that new firmware will be available within the next five weeks.

Damn, but it is worth £500 right?
Is the video good? The K700i video was a tad shit, especially when objects moved. |

I haven't used the video function very much, but from I've seen it isn't too bad, not great, but not too bad.

Hmm, I should use this oppurtunity, people dont usually reply this frequently.
Is there anything I should know about the S700i which they dont mention on the site.
Mem Stick Duo only goes to 128 right?
What Bluetooth version is it? |

I'm not sure about the Bluetooth version, but I believe it has the standard ten metre range. As has been been stated, almost ad infinitum  , the maximum memorystick capacity supported is 128 MB.

Hmm, it appears the link to 'buy now' isn't there any more.
Actually

I'm getting my S700 tomorrow from Vodafone on an upgrade for £150 on an 18 month contract with 200 mins X network and 250 free texts so the line rental is £30 per month. The things you have to do to get a new phone thats not costing an arm and a leg!!! |

Haha, and you have the privelege of Vodafone putting their crappy red marketing all over it. You've already bought the phone but they still insist on advertising their network.
I said that to a T-Mobile guy once, I was like.
'How do I get this T-Mobile shit out of my phone, I have already bought the phone I don't need them advertising themselves even more. If you look I already got rid of the 'T-Mobile' logo off the cover'
He was like
'Er I dont think you can do that'
I cant wait to get my straight from SE S700i. |

Well I am a pro Vodafone person as IMO they are the best network and I'd much rather have a little Vodafone badge on my phone than pay £500 haha |

Yes I am, but I don't like being a walking advert for a company which is making enough money anyway.
Let's say I have a T610 with T-Mobile adverts burned into it (Those shitty flower pictures)
My friend asks to look at my phone. 'What are these flower pictures in here'
'Oh, those are f*cking etched in there by T-Mobile so I don't forget that I am paying them money every month'
'Really? So what are the tarrifs like?'
And this goes on about me having to explain the tarrifs, thus concluding I am advertising for shitty phone companies.
And I have money to burn. |

Branding has definitely increased over the last few years, I remember when it used to just be Orange that did it, her ein the UK, but ow everyone seems to do it, apart from O2. O2 do add a little branding, but certainly nothing like the other networks do. I wonder if this is a move towards a more Japanese style market where the mobile brand isn't a simportant as the network brand.
