The S700 lives up to the T610 promise.

For just £180 I now have a cracking camera wherever I am, and a fast wap browser that has a great screen.

Well worth it for me, and to me, that's all that counts.

@masseur - So that's just the very reason why I haven't seen you changed your avatar to an SE S700 up till now mate

@apotts - Hmmm . . . flyin' high here ! Just what kind of plane are you in? Kinda low for a commercial one . . . . I guess, unless you are about to land or just about to hit high altitude dude? Was it a 'cessna" ?

@JN, have a look at the "Pics taken with an S700" thread... It's a 737.

I'd buy it if it was a bit lighter/thinner/smaller haven't seen it irl yet so
well can't tell for sure. But I'll probobly just stick with my P900 untill a phone with atleast S700i specs comes out that is smaller.

@dw,

Irl, it's just 5mm too long, the right width, the right weight, but too thick. Not a stopper though. It's very nice to use when texting, but my gripe is that because you can open it either way, there's no way of telling which way to close it (causing you to sometimes try to force it the wrong way).

No I would not buy a s700 even if I had the money. I don't like it, I don't need it and it is not a good phone for me.

housing is cheap? but most ppl says its sturdy and solid?



I do not agree with masseur, although it's plastic the quality is solid. Nokia handsets feels more like toys for kids while this feels more like toys for gadget geeks with high demand of quality.

Have a look at the landing video I made on the S700 in the other thread. Touchdown speed was 152mph - fairly quick for a small passenger plane!!

OK, I will . . . going back to the topic . . . How much did you buy your SE S700 mate, and if under contract and if it's branded? - thanks!

I'm on an O2 contract, and upgraded for £180 at CPW. The phone is a generic unlocked one.

You might have to do some cunning bartering at CPW, with some "imaginative" facts. The upgrade price bidding started at £369!

Mine was based on the fact that CPW were selling the S700 for £199 on my contract and the O2 shop were offering them for £180 upgrade (but no stock).

I notice that now CPW are selling it for £170 on O2 250 (my contract)... Or £99 on a serious contract...

4 weeks and they'll be free.
