I advice you to NOT visit club-siemens S65 forum then.. 
If you do, you´ll end up with a Samsung or Nokia..

You don´t have to be a member to visit Siemens forum..
Still i advice you to play around with the S65 before buying it. I was put off by screen resolution and the dull looking menu icons. Keypad was very puny and fiddly too (even my 13-yo stepdaughter thought so)
And to top it all of: the anticlimax 1.3 Mpxl camera, like a 500 bhp car on slick tyres: lovely under perfect conditions, a total disaster most of the time

The S65 has a poor display but it indeed is the better phone! Forget the K700i, no good design, no good software, many bugs, ugly brandings! |

Looking at forums is generally spreaking not a very good source of information about how 'good' a phone is because people tend to post messages about what is wrong rather than to reveal their praise.
If you read the ES forum you'd think that every SE phone is faulty and bad. Which is not true of course.

No offence - but a rather silly post I think
1. Design is a matter of taste - you like the Siemens I like the K700 (but that doesnt mean I dont like the S65 design cause I do)
2. Software is as good as on Siemens - lets not forget Siemens software is a "copy" of the SE software as is the 65 platform a "copy" of the SE platform
3. No more bugs than the 65 series platform from Siemens - just visit club siemens and ask around the Siemens users
4. Brandings are vendor specific - has nothing what so ever to do with the phone - you can also get a vodaphonebranded ugly looking s65.
Now please enlighten me - how does any of this make the S65 the better phone, or the K700 for that matter ??

I'm surprised to see people criticising the K700 design alongside the S65, the K700 reminds me very much of the SL45 (Siemens' finest), I like the solid build and design.

Got the phone exchanged, you can see at the bottom of my post what for! I did like alot about the S65 but yesterdays performance when i lost everything was the last straw. Mine had fw12, anyone getting an S65 i would recommend you check it has the latest fw before you get it. 25 is the latest i believe. Good luck to any future s65 users, you'll probably need it!

the big question is - is the k700i a power-phone?
and then you can compare the k7 with s65
unfortunately i am not sure

They´re both battery powered..
IMO they are pretty equal on paper, both have their bright points and both have their downsides.
Having owned the K700i and tested the S65 i must say that SE wins this one! The T68i VS S55 was the other way around though, but i don´t think Siemens has upped their ante enough for the successor.

I'd have to agree with TreeX
Its not as if the S65 is a bad phone - not at all - they are just different. Both have their ups and downs - and as such it depends on which are most important to every single user. To me - the S65 is a good phone - but the K700 wins overall because of its more fullpacked features. K700 does almost everything and does it very good - only limited by lack of memoryslot. This lack only limits how much of a good thing you can do - but it wont actually limit the ability to do them. You only have to deside if you want 40mb videos today or 40mb audio today or 40 mb games today and then switch content on the phone. The S65 on the other hand are limited in features rather than memory - and as such the memoryslot aint gonna help. No matter how much extra memory you put in that slot - it still wont play radio, or mp3/mp4 audio, or mp4/AAC videos, or games (from expandable memory) or videos (from expandable memory) etc.
From my point of view the memoryslot of the S65 actually limits the phone instead of helping it - because you need to move items to the internal memory for them to perfom the best - and the internal memory is limited to 11mb where the K700 has 41mb
To me thats the key difference which is more important than the difference between the VGA cam of the K700 and the 1.3mp cam in the S65. Ill forgive the S65 for taken poor pictures under poor conditions - because this is also the fact about K700 - and if one looks at the cost of S65 we cant expect the same quality of camerachip as in S700 for instance. |

K700 doesn't look as nice as the S65, and if I do get a S65 im making sure I get a datacable for it ;-) just hope its online sometime soon at o2 :-)
