@Se
Did you take anything with you to make it reboot in front of them so that they could see it live? Funny how they continue to replace and update phones but "there is no problem". Now this is getting a bit annoying. Are there some shows, or places in the UK where you can go to get this into the open.

Just sent this to Mobile9. Let's get a list of mobile sites such as Esato and start to publish the communications from SE.
It seems that there are quite a few s700i users that are having consistent rebooting problems with their s700i. SE in the UK refuses to acknowledge the problem while SE Finland, and SE Germany both acknowledge that there is a problem that SE in Sweden is working on. Why is that the other SE service centers are failing to admit that there is a problem, or is it that they do not know? Something must be going on as SE is replacing phone, upgrading software pretty much without an argument. Either way, there are many, many owners that are getting frustrated by SE’s lack of support. Included is the the thread at Esato showing the owners and their back and forth communications with SE.
Esato website: http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=88420
Please view this site and see how SE is ignoring its current customers. I for one will think twice before I purchase another SE phone based on the way they are treating their customers. Also enclosed is a communication that I have received from SE in the UK totally oblivious to the problem that we customers are having. We, the users of SE phones ask that you publish this and make this known while we explore other ways to get this out to the public and warn them about SE phones.

reboot is a big word, reboot always is even a much "bigger word".
Remember our PC got hang times and times but different ways it can happen.....
to discuss, explain how did it get re-boot always and you are still able to use the phone
i had it a few times, thats all, and i never been able to find a way to make it happen consistently. |

my s700i reboots frequently when recieving a call, it vibratetes for a fraction of a second then the screen glows white and then reboots for
a few seconds, then by that time the person is trying to call again, and the same happens over again... i read a post about s700i's crashing when called in a metal can?! could this be related since it usually crashes when its sitting on a metal table when this happens... any ideas (fireware r3L002) |

You should be safe as most people who have got new phones lately dont seem to have the rebooting problem. I would just make sure that it was made in 2005 at least. |

Not necessarily true. If you read the reply that I received from SE, the problem has to do with the phone period. Not hardware or a particular software. I would take a laptop or something metal if possible and test the phone anyway.
