It could be like chinese whispers. The story gets changed. It could have started something like "Sony Ericsson don't make K700 anymore, only K700i"

Hi everybody,
this is my first post at this great site; just wanted to provide one piece of information that might be a clue in the response for the k700i manufacturing question. I am from Egypt, and have been following up on k700i for quite some time in order to purchase it. At the end of January (might have been the 28th), I made an inquiry about the phone to the so-called service center. Then just after 8 days, meaning something like 10 days ago, I contacted almost all the points of sales selling the k700i, and strangely enough, EVERY ONE of these shops (including the service center) told me that they have run out of the k700i...
a bit, well may be more than just a bit SUSPICIOUS, isn't it?

Welcome to Esato. :-D I think, it might be a temporary shortage of stocks. Have you contacted them again?

Thanks for the welcome note.... Come on stock ran out from all shops at the same time.... kinda weird isn't it... especially since SE is not that popular here in egypt (75 % of more than 7 million mobiles are nokias),, and also considering the fact that the phone is also still kinda expensive (US $ 400).... But any way I was told that any new stock would only arrive after at least one month... but I wouldn't count on that reply because all customer post sales centers in Egypt have a really bad attitude problem  and are really not reliable at all whether technicality-wise or other... one example of this incomppetence - and may be this what has made wait a while before buying a k700i- is that when i called them asking what k700i batteries were in stock, whether the 670 or the 700 mah li-ion, the agent told me that k700i battery had the capacity of 850 mah...imagine...

Sure the K700i hasn't gone out of production all stores still have it here in the UK, still will be an important phone for SE this year, and there never was a K700 only the K700i, K700a and K700c |

Wonder why the K700 is outta stock in Egypt? I'm sure SE won't stop producing the K700 until they have a replacement for that phone,

well as I said b4 SE is not that popular in Egypt, all the people, well about 75% of them just follow the herd and buy nokias, and considering the fact that K700i was introduced to Egypt only last November, I guess all the stock couldn't have runn out in just 3 months time, and from ALL shops at the same time.

Hi - I'm also new here. Have also been checking out the K700i before upgrading to it - hope to get it tomorrow or the day after. I live in South Africa, and the K7 is still on a roll here. I 've checked out a lot of options, and all the networks advertise it. A friend of mine got one on a new contract yesterday (my influence!), in fact. |
