The z710 is awesome. With a 1 GB memory stick m2, it's a great clam shell! It has been a great upgrade from my k700.

Any idea where I can find the new \"sand\" color? All anyone's selling in the US is the black one, the  Eshop included.

I haven't seen the sand color anywhere. I've searched mobilecityonline.com and all the other typical sites like mobilplanet, myworldphone, simoncells, etc. I know the release was limited. I did not check ebay, so you may want to give that a shot.
Sound quality is excellent as well as call quality. I use T-Mobile USA. Loud Speaker is great and provides excellent sound, especially for playing music (if you don't have the desk speaker stand). Picture quality is a bit above average, 2 Megapixels, but no autofocus. |

Is it possible to load W710 software on to the Z710.
I just need the walkman player into Z710. For me Z710 looks
better than W710 . Adding walkman player would be ideal.
If anyone has been successful, please give details..

yes it is possible to flash a z710 to a w710 but the fitness application on the w710 wont work on a z710 that's all. |

w710 have a walkman player which give you the track ID or gracenote service ( I forgotten how SE actually call it but you can record some clip and send to a server to look for the song)
then with walkman player...come mega bass
Z710 don't have these function but I doubt you really need mega bass if you got a pair of good in ear.
also....you just donno how the phone react if you put w710 firmware in since the firmware will have stuff for the fitness function and interaction with the pedometer in the electronics which Z710 dont have.
my advice is stick with what you got......you never know what happen after you did this flashing...if it cannot be fixed after using w710 cause lots of bugs..... |

i have flashed my z710 already to w710...everything works the same except for the fitness program...the one that counts how many steps u take does not work because it doesnt have the right hardware. it is very safe to flash to w710. and if there was a bug in the w710 u can always just flash it back to z710...its not a problem at all. |

Will the UK version of this phone have PTT, thats what I want to know. The PDF on this phone mentions nothing about it which makes me think they have removed this feature!

my unbranded Z710 seems to have a "my friends" entry under messages at least. dont know if that is PTT or something else as here in norway there are no PTT services up... |

Just got mine last week. I was gonna buy one earlier but all I could find was the sand colored one. It took a while to get the black one.
Biggest bug is when you open the phone and there are no letters anywhere (menu, messages etc). Buttons are pretty hard to press compared to my old K610. Menus take some time to load if you launch it from the shortcuts menu. Otherwise the phone is great. Sound quality's better than my old K610. I never had problems using mp3's as ringtones or message alerts.
One thing I miss from my old phone was that you can watch videos full screen. |
