PAVILJONAC, nice photos, did you get a chance to play with the prototypes in person?? Any comments??
EDGE my take should've been emplemted!! 384kbps (theory), 144 (kbps) real world estimation would've been a blessing with this phone S700, especially sending 1.3 Mp photos over the network, however no phone out there (except NTT DoCoMo's phones) can accept that size so big whoop for now. BUt they should've thought of this for the next 6 months. with all you Europe boys on 3G's network would've seen the full 384kbps bandwidth because EDGE can still go on-top of WCDMA just as it can on GPRS.
40 polyphonic ringertones, Java 3D and all the other things I've grown to love about SE: THANK YOU FOR STOPPING ME FROM OWNING A motorola V600.
The wife can have the MotoV300; me I'm gonna own the K700 sweeeEETTtt!!
The Z500 was needed for two things. Pride & Sales.
let me brake it down fo 'yall.
Pride: the Samsung E715 was kicking but in the USA, elegant design high polytones, no antenna. Look at the resemblance between the two. Now with 40 chords, Bluethooth, EDGE, and Push-to-Talk, oops sorry 4x Zoom its a sure winner in the USA. Trust it Cingular/AT&T as well as T-Mobile could truely enjoy this phone. Canada well Rogers could have it too but I'm hoping Fido will get EDGE in a hurry!!!

Right. Here's the latest on Scandinavia / EDGE
Nokia to deliver GSM/GPRS/EDGE networks to TeliaSonera
March 05, 2004
Frame agreement covers Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden.
Nokia has signed a frame agreement with TeliaSonera for the modernization and upgrade of its existing GSM/GPRS/EDGE Nokia network in the Nordic countries. Deliveries have already begun and the network upgrade will serve approximately eight million TeliaSonera subscribers in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden.
"This contract with Nokia will enable us to attain our target of synergy benefits across the TeliaSonera group and grow our business as we evolve to more advanced mobile services," says Lars-Gunnar Johansson, Group Vice President, Corporate Networks & Technology, TeliaSonera.
"We are happy to further strengthen our excellent relationship with TeliaSonera by enabling it to upgrade its networks in order to offer its customers the most advanced mobile multimedia media services and improved user experience," says Jan Lindgren, Vice President, Networks, Nokia.
Under the agreement, Nokia is supplying its complete GSM, GPRS and EDGE systems. In addition, it will provide installation and an extensive range of care services including emergency support to maintain the competitiveness of the solution. The services will be provided using Nokia NetAct(TM), the only fully-featured, multi-vendor, multi-technology operations support system on a single platform.
Sonera (which operates independently in Finland) has already opened its own EDGE network in Finland.
And the rest of Europe
European GSM Oerators Need EDGE Wireless
24th September 2003
Europe : The view confirmed by over 70 operators and vendor representatives attending the EDGE Operators' Forum meeting in Rome today is that most GSM operators will deploy EDGE to deliver the best user experience of advanced mobile data services.
EDGE powerfully boosts GPRS data speeds by over 3 times, ensuring better quality and faster services, at incremental cost. EDGE is a smooth low-cost upgrade of existing GSM/GPRS assets and stimulates the take-up and growth of next generation mobile multimedia services.
The complementary role of EDGE with WCDMA is now widely understood. In Europe, WCDMA using new spectrum will serve the major population centres, combined seamlessly with EDGE for serving the rural and semi-urban areas. In many situations EDGE will also be enabled in the major cities.
Discussions highlighted that the bigger the success of WCDMA, the more that operators will be forced to upgrade their existing networks to EDGE, to bridge the speed gap between GPRS and WCDMA with the help of EDGE.
EDGE is already commercial reality in the United States, following the launch by Cingular Wireless in June, 2003. Deploying EDGE is a business decision for operators, to ensure they have the ability to compete, and to safeguard their investments and assets.
TIM was the first major European operator to confirm plans to deploy EDGE with WCDMA. "TIM is in the forefront of the technology development", said Mauro Sentinelli, TIM Managing Director, speaking at the EDGE Operators' Forum meeting in Rome. "We are glad to be the first operator in Europe to deploy EDGE in its network, thus offering always better and friendly services to our customers. As a matter of fact, EDGE deployment in TIM's network is starting, representing an integration with UMTS at the beginning, and an important ally in its maturity."
Mike Bamburak, VP, Technology Architecture and Standards, AT&T Wireless Services (AWS), also speaking at the event, added: "I am happy to report that AWS confirms that EDGE performance lives up to the advertisements on all fronts."
Several manufacturers speaking at the event underlined the huge industry commitment to deliver increasing numbers and varieties of EDGE-capable devices in the coming year. More companies are coming in to the market, and from 2004, EDGE will be a standard feature in all new GPRS phones. 2004 will also confirm the arrival of several dual-mode terminals EDGE/WCDMA phones.
GSA confirmed that approaching 50 operators worldwide had now committed to EDGE deployment. "EDGE is commercial reality, and is already embedded in many networks throughout Europe" said Alan Hadden, President, GSA, who organised the event. "EDGE is necessary in all markets worldwide for speed and capacity, and fully complements WCDMA where new spectrum has been licensed in Europe and Asia Pacific. Cost savings from needing less base station hardware and fewer site splits are compelling".
So, you can't really say "oh, who needs EDGE, GPRS is fine until we get 3G"

The design is awesome... but with a 4th quarter release date, I'd rather go for the motorola MPx with everything the S700 is and more plus an earlier release date... |

of course, the styling is vaguely similar in the same way that many clams look similar and many candy bar phones look similar, but I really have to say this one looks much more stylish. When the original swivel motorola came out I thought it was ugly and the colour one did nothing more for me, but I have always like the styling of the SO505is and this one bears much more resemblence to that than the motorola

yup SE is now incorporating EDGE and rdios into their phones. nokia was the innovator in putting radios in phones years ago and setting up
EDGE networks all around and they say nokia is low tech and a copy cat tsk tsk tsk... when SE puts radios and uses EDGE now in their up coming phones the SE hard core cult fanatic members applaude SE for it. 
ooppsss... now i will be bombarded with crap from SE fanatics now. typical really 
something that is complex and sophisticated is not always the best and reliable. what is simple is better.
