Back to your original post neocookie, I own as S700 and it's great. However, i hate to steer you away from the wonderful world of SE but have you considered Orange's SPV C500? My brother has this phone and can convert movies and such to play full screen. Also it's not too bulky, many people have this criticism with the S700. The only down side to the SPV C500 is that the screen has lower resolution.
I think it could be worth investigating.

Well said Ratboy
I do indeed own a C500 now and it plays video in widescreen to a very good standard.

So in the end, what is the max. resolution of a movie that can be played in S700? Isn't really any of the S700 owners interested about this topic?!!!! ... this is weird.

the subject has allready been covered endlesly in other threads, which is why you dont see many posters here.

Its very simple, the S700 max resolution of encoded video is 176x144
It cannot play full screen, or landscape or anything. And there are no player to install to change that. The only small oddity that exist is that if you use PVauthor to encode videos - specifically version 3.0 - theres an error in the encoded headers which somehow fools the player on S700 to play it, not in full screen, but in full width. The error in PVathour has been fixed in later versions, so to create vids that play full widht you need to use version 3.0 and encode them in 176x144.

pvauthor can't convert 3gp files... Their quality is bad, use .avi or another format...

@Valentiner

No, max resolution is 176x144 but when encoded with the pv author profile provided earlier it fills out the screen width.... thats as good as it gets though. Bit of a downer really with our phone
