The n70 is a good phone and there are a few ways to speed the operating system up a little, loads of apps/games ect out there for it.
What about a Nokia 6270? the sound and screen quality was great but i got bored yet again and sold it 
Never liked the w800i myself due to the colouring of the housing and the camera lens cover kept opening when putting in my pocket.

personally I dont like the N70, the image quality is not that great... the slider for the lense is very large, I found in the office at work that the slider has become quite loose and creeks a lot. But then I am someone that converted from nokia to SE 3 years ago.
i have to say though as I get access to all the phones out at the moment, Nokia have yet to release a phone that will tempt me back over to them...
I'm looking forward to the P990i |

Dont bother with the n70. I went from that to the w800 and have vowed never to go for Nokia again. Poor batery life so forget about using it as an mp3 player. Poor codecs you cant watch any of the viedos on this site on it. Plus theres loas of firmware bugs. 3UK have even dicontinued selling the n70 as th n71 is coming ou soon. The only good thing about the n70 is th video catpure in mp4 but it eats shit loads of memory up and you only get a 64mb card with it. Get the w810. |

If you think the w800 is "ugly as sin", then why dont you consider the k750. Again not much difference from the k700 but it looks better. |

Why don't you just wait a little longer. I think you'll regret switching to Nokia if used to a SE. W810i gets good critics, the looks are OK, much more neutral than W800i, and the joystickproblem seems solved.
About the options; if K700i is still good enough for you and you hardly use cam and mp3, why even bother upgrade and start calling cheap (yeah I'm Dutch).
But if I had the choice right now I'd go for SE W810i. Even the K790/800 series tempted me, but it has just a 3.2 MP cam, wich is still not nearly as good as my 5.2 MP 10x optical zoom digicam. Therefore my upgrade wishes are just being able to use my phone as a 'real' Walkman (anyone interested in a working 1990 version?), so I really won't need some Ipod or whatever.
I think a walkman phone with plenty memory can replace an mp3-player, but it still can't replace a good digicam for a while, and probably will never. |

@jj - I agree with Scape . . . here ! If you are not in a hurry, might as well wait for the K800i I guess the only 'evident' feature upgrade from the K700i to the K750i is it's camera: VGA to 2.0 MP ! I manage to have a Nokia N70 (for less than a week), I sold it at once as I was very disappointed with it's 2.0 MP camera . . . might as well get the Samsung D600 if I were you. If you have other options, the Samsung V3x is a nice 2.0 MP camfone too mate . . . Just keep your options 'widely OPEN . . . and don't rush things, specially if you are to replace what you will be getting - NOW . . say, after 3-4 years !

cheers for your input guys and im not going to like leaving SE but the options that are available just arent tempting.
The reason ive still got the K700 is because ive been waiting months and months for SE to bring out something i want and its just not happened.
The k750 looks nice but the joy stick is dodgy and no real improvement from what ive got, w800 is dam ugly and again not much difference, w810 has got rid of the joy stick but apart from that nothing really stands out for me.
So looks like im gonna give the dark side a go, if it doesnt work out i can always change back to a k750 and sit and wait again
