how come there are so many differing opinions over the battery about 75% of people are saying its crap and the rest that its fine.
have different people go differnet batteries or are they just more tolerate or just use to charging there phone every day anyway so they never notice the difference.

I love my k700i, and not bothered with that '10 thing'. Even the battery issue is the most populer prob, but it charge super quick as u got ur heart shot and died in the next sec. I hate nokia, once i own them, im super hate samsung, and u should go to mental theraphy. Peace

Perhaps the 75% of people who complain about the batteries when they got tehir k700's they couldnt wait to play with them, and so instead of charging it for 12 hours or so as recomended they played about with it...

Hmmm.

This is a poor Top 10 review and extremely subjective. The person is taking a full spectrum of different phones and complained about it to/against one phone (K700i). The person has no right to complain if the phone the person bought was a branded phone. You get what you pay for. Every new release phones will have problems, admit it. The ones who are complaining are the picky people. Nothing satisfy them. They're the one that will complain when, for example, they come back from vacation and their computer mouse on their desk is not in the same position as they left it. Yeah, you know those kind of people. ("hey, someone touch my pencil, someone move my chair, etc.")

I've been thru many cell phones, but I'm not a picky A-hole that tries to find everything wrong with it. Nothing is perfect. That's life. I feel sorry for picky A-holes who go thru life never satisfy with anything. The K700i is a good phone for me at the moment...until newer models come out. Yeah there's a few problems, but they don't bother me. There were problems with my other cell phones as well. The price you pay for a new release, and having the phone before everyone else.

Peace.

To K700 users: How do you find the T9 input on your phone? Is it better than nokias? As far as my T230 is concerned it is far better than any nokia i have used. As i had mentioned in an earlier post.

i have never know a new se phone have so much positive and negative posts in this forum. even when the t610 first came out and initial models had a hardware problem.
strange that there is some much on both sides. i have had a play around with the phone and was very impressed with it. sms speed was way better than the t610 and imo it was nearly on par with nokia.
rf was also way better than previous models. did a small ( not very scientifc test) with my 6600 and it was on par with that.
this was orange brandsed so did nt have the shortcut options but the menu was fast so it didnt really matter it me as the lay out was just like the t610 so i know were to look for things
i do agree with a previous poster who called people moaners, and yes as you spent money on it you have a right to complain but as always do your homework and try the phone before you buy.

What a load of guff, you are taking the mickey with that review. You are comparing it to nokias, samsungs etc, have you USED any of the devices u are comparing it to? I would have the k700 over practically ANY nokia or samsung, for me its better designed, *smarter*, and can do a lot of things in *one model*, as compared to nokia who have several models that can do *one thing*, which is utterly farcical imho. Why would you want anything else than the best? se are, (for me, anyway) by far and away the best mass-produced (i.e. not specialist) phones around.

It would still be the battery life and some little bugs that annoys me from the very day I sold my Nokia 7610 and bought this SE K700i - till at present . . . I just hope that an upgraded software is already out to remove those 'pestering' bugs !

If you are an iPod user, USE YOUR IPOD! The K700 is a phone not a mp3 player.

Id find it hard to leave SE products now, the K700i is an excelent phone, just got it out the box now and its so much quicker and smoother than the older models. Nokia phone users just get stuck in a rut. SE i think has better menus and usability.
Top notch!

R2L001 is out. People claims most although not all (~95% or so) bugs are sorted out (scroll to the end of page 1).
