the famous, errr... hated SE screen lag or OS lag, i suspect, is due to the "The Theme", one of the things that i like on SE.... remove the "theme" thing and i am sure the whole OS speeds up, even the t68.... just my .02....
but alas! how can you remove one of the stuff that draws people to you?? remove it and SE will definitely loose followers, keep it up and sooner or later, if people get annoyed by the lag, you loose them too... catch 22 
but why cant SE ask nvdia or ati to help them speed up things??? |

how about adding just like casio's 3.2 megapixel camera and a 1 gb memory either RC-MMC or CF!!!!! (wishful thinking).
going back to the thread, let us just respect jp lacsons's initial impressions and the other 3 foreign reviews and hope that by May or June 2004 when it is released, all the initial bugs and lags are removed by then. At Php 24,000.00 definitely its target prey is the nokia 6230. Ive played with n6230 at the hub and i am not totally impressed (screen size, video clips quality,design.... ho hum just another boring unit from the big N).
If SE is non existent, I would chose the Motorola MPx or their Vseries(V80,V500,etc.) to Nokia.
On second thought, Php 24,000 (K700) vs. Php 19,000 - 23,000 (2nd hand or brand new) SE P800.....now i am having problems which model to buy.

when n where is the k700 going to be available for sale exactly?! i've been reading reviews from mobile burn and other sites since april and i want one!
jplacson wrote the worst review on k700 out of all the others i've read before. i saw some pixes in the papers when se philippines launched it, but they didn't really market it well. and no one was really raving aboutit after the show. in fact, it came out in the papers a week later and they only showed pictures of the back of the cel and focused mostly on the models holding it. there really wasn't emphasis or hype on the product.
i was actually more intrigued with the nokia7610 and decided to compare that phone w sek700 and other new models coming out. i was surprised that the reaction in europe and usa was sek700 /se s700 n z series came out as winners as opposed to the comparable nokia 7610 n other new phones coming out in q2.
anywho, the ones i've read applauding se were reviewers in europe and usa. thus, i wonder if the k700 jpl reviewed was manufactured elsewhere and not in the same place as the others? could it be that se philippines was showing low-qual preprod test products, whilst the others tested more advanced versions? i know some ppl who have the same unit model but encounter problems due to varying production dates and manufacturer sources. (for nokia users you can check your version by pressing *#0000#)
anyway, with regards to lag time and stuff, you can actually increase the ram of your cel to make it faster. my friends used to upgrade their super slow 7610's to make it faster. this practice is more common in europe than PI though (and honestly, asian-made phones are much slower and thus cheaper). i dunno where you can get this done. try semicon. |

@trina - the k700 isnt out yet, thus the reason for not marketing it(yet). i suppose those pics were used as teasers.  i trust jplacson with his review, they are just prototypes...having buggy softwares n all...thus wat he reviewed

Actually, the Phil is one of the first countries to get new SE models.
Understand that my nit-picking the K700 is more like a Ferrari owner saying that the Maranelo isn't as good as the Enzo.
I'm coming from the Smartphone line-up... neither of the P-series have any type of lag at all...unless you're running the Appforge crap... or running 3 apps simultaneously.
Like I said, P-series users might be disappointed with the K700. That's cuz we're eagerly waiting the next Smartphone release.
T610/T630 users should find the additional features (built-in flashlight, video cam, and full VGA camera) a big upgrade over their existing functions.
...I'm still waiting for SE's 'surprise' P900 replacement which is due around June/July...  (wishful thinking)

SE's .ph's call center operator emailed me that the k700 will be out on the 2nd week of June.
