good point. but i still miss this function on S700. not because of the clock itself, but for missed calls, sms to be noticed easily, without any necessity of pressing any buttons to be able to recall it....xxx |

My humble opinion with regard to this issue:
Well i feel since the s700 users are paying a good amount of money for its sumptuous features its really stupid that se would leave this out to risk annoying even 10-20% of the customers.
On my k7 i find this extremely useful...not because of the clock but because the screen displays extra info like missed calls,mms,sms etc. I just stroll into my room...a quick glance at the phone screen and i instantly get to know the phone status without even the need to lift the phone off the table. Those who say you always have to press a button anyways i suggest you give a thought to having proper ambient lighting conditions at the places where you dwell  |

@ssjowowo: it is obvious that you have no idea what you are talking about stating that S700i's screen is larger than P910's screen using the argument that S700i has a sligtly better horizontal resolution.
For you, based on the same argument, the k700i screen is larger than the screen of, say, n6630, which has a resolution of 176x208 (as oposed to k700i's 176x220) ...
Also P910i has the same active matrix with 262k of colors, and there is also the touch screen eating up battery life. However the feature is still present.
Please stop arguing that "this is not such a big deal" because it is. Not only the clock is gone, but there is absolutely no way of knowing if you missed a call or you have a new message.
I understand powersaving is important for some, but it is not for me. I still charge my phone (as I did with my previous k700 in the beginning) every day, so I really dislike the fact that this option (of viewing the clock and missed events) is missing  |

i was just speaking for myself. I like it as it is and I said that I don't mind. I didn't say that everyone has to accept it. and for god's sake you can't say to se what to do and what not to do! s700 shares a lot with the k700(nearly all from a software point of view), so not implementing the clock feature in the s700 must mean something. a multi-billion company can't affort to make sacrifises such as this, without any gain elsewhere. and to tell you the truth, having nearly 3 months experience with the k700 and 5 months with the s700, i prefer s700 all the way. and i don't think that anyone would prefer K700 instead of S700 if they were given the choice, just based on the clock function. just stop moaning (those who do) for nothing and don't look at all the brilliant features that s700 has. that's just my opinion. it's not the end of the world. just PRESS A BUTOON |

Clearly you did not know what you were talking about (ie in regards with the screens being larger or not depending on their display resolution).

I do look at the nice features (let's not call them brilliant, they are neither new, nor extremely impressive, except for the design of the phone itself) and I like them very much, but the lack of user customization that SE offers is a sign of total disrespect for their customers. IT IS the main reason for which SE lost one more place in the top10 mobile producers selling charts.
While they do provide many advanced features, they lack minor features that are EXTREMELY annoying for most users, like not being able to have but around 300-400 contacts (given that we can store only 510 numbers on the phone's HUGE memory), not offering VIDEO playback in full-screen, not offering the option for showing or not the clock (just the option - if you want to go powersave, then go, but don't make me have an empty screen all the time! ), not offering the ability of creating new profiles for the phone, not being able to search after more than 1 letter in the phone's agenda, very bad RF at times, etc. (the latter were fixed, but still!).
This is not acceptable for a phone that costs so much! It's like buying a BMW and having to go each month for an upgrade because your car can't go pass 100 miles per hour, or doesn't display the current speed, or can't go backwards. But it can go from 0 to 100km/h in 4 seconds, and has 50 airbags and so, but it's impossible to drive.

@ssjowowo
I am with you!!!!
Pressing A button doesn't cause me any trouble at all..
@Valentiner
Saying that SE losing places in the Salescharts because they are lacking user customisation and certain small features are rather stupid! The two companys who has climbed most in the charts (LG and Samsung) isn't really known for those issues, that SE isn't gaining marketshare that fast is really a matter of lacking a big number of lowend and midend modells...

i'm glad that i have an excellent phone with an excellent camera, and i listen to noone trying to convince me otherwise. i'm glad some people act with logic (Mrb 18 that's you!). let me tell you this..if you don't like the phone don't buy it, or if you have it, trade it. jesus it's that simple.. |

and also ericsson doesn't need to prove anything to anyone. it may not have the upper hand in mobile telecommunications, but each and every product they release, is respected by the press and consumers even if they don't buy it. they don't need to release a s**tload of similar models just to be the firm that sells the most. quality over quantity. and if you don't like that, go buy a nokia or a motorolla or anything else that suits you (if you find one) |

@ssjowowo let's just say that I can't follow advices from someone which belives that a screen is physically larger if it has a better resolution  and let's get back to the clock shall we?
Is it that hard to put an option like in the k700i for the clock? |

I just got the s700i and don't have a good or bad opinion of it yet, nevertheless I prefer some info to be displayed in standby mode.
Even if I ignore the much-talked-about clock that I personally prefer, I find it extremely annoying looking at a phone that plays dead.
Out of curiosity, how do you know your phone is still working or has enough juice in it? Don't you find it a hassle to keep pressing buttons?
Doesn't button-pressing expend the battery much faster than normal?
At least that was my experience with the Nokia 6610. I could talk for a long time but the battery would go fast down when I'd type a SMS.
Regards. |
