I live in the UK and yes....for the time being the production of K700's have been stopped as a small number of phones had errors with text messages. How do i know? Well i dropped minein a swimmingpool in South Africa when i went there just after newyears and when i got back i went to O2 and they told me the phone is unavailable for thenext few months. In fact i havent seen it in any stores of late. I called the insurance company today to hear thelatest on this and they said that until Sony fixes the problem they wont be selling any more K700's.

Im kinda pissed cozz they said i could replace my phone with the Nokia6230....but i dont want it. The K700 is so much cooler.

Hopefully things will besorted out soon cozzim still paying 25pounds a month for my contract...

I checked my phone and it says production date of January 2005 on the box. I got it from an authorised dealer, so doe'snt look like production has stopped at this point

@missuk - rarely 'show' tv ads here in Asia It's marketing strategy on that level has not yet gotten some full financial backing/support from it's HQ I guess compared to Nokia. Though I was quite surprised to see that CNN has a segment wherein sponsors it - still running as of presstime (during the recent past, it's Nokia mostly that's why) - an S700i was made feature on the said segment. The latest tv ad from that I saw was that of it's P910i model ! [addsig]

Does anyone know if this sms storage problem that caused SE to stop k700i is found in branded phones only or does it include unbranded phones as well?
