Am I the only person who is more excited about the SE Z700 than any of the other phones Ericsson have released? Downloadable online-playable games on a 4096 colour screen sound pretty damn good to me... especially if, as has been mooted, you can download games that you can play against other owners of SE Java Bluetooth phones e.g. a Z700 playing against a P800 at Battleships. And I love the Sony silver flip form factor  | |

Actually I quite like it too, I've already got a palm so won't really need the organiser side of the P800, and gonna get the new communicam so hey, the Z700 looks pretty good |

When it comes out, we can have online games over GPRS... so we can have an Esato tournament if Laffen wanted |

I've just heard that SE have been throwing a figure of €300 around for the Z700, sim-free - thats an unbelievable price, if true... less than half the price of T68. |

and i guess Z7000 has a memory stick slot for it to be a MP3 player as well ?? Drinky, you seems to know these thing more than we do. Can you shed some light on memory stick ?? I am trying to ditch all my gadgets including Palm M505& IBM laptop for a memory stick base electronic device. |

No memory stick in the launch spec, but if the downloadable games take off, then I could see an MZ700 a few months down the line for MP3\extra game capacity - plus theres already a large wedge of RAM in the phone to cope with the downloadable software. |

Sony Ericsson Z700, has any one got any more information about this phone?
In the shadow of the P800 http://www.infosync.no/show.php?id=1640
I am more than impressed from what I have read, but I think the P800 is going to be way outside my budget, but this little phone looks set to offer all the features I am looking for.
Java™, (J2ME) technology, GPRS, always-on access to online games, wallpaper, ringer tones, It has a Web browser provided by Ms which supports HTML and 1.2.1, plus e-mail. POP3 and SMTP. In addition to the above, there is, Bluetooth™ wireless technology enables your Z700 to connect without a cable to a Bluetooth ™ headset, car kit, or other device. You can also connect to your PC to transfer data, synchronise your scheduler and phone book, and store multimedia. Adding to the above feature, the Z700 has an extensive phone book and an effective calendar/scheduler. The phone book stores the details of up to 500 contacts including names, phone numbers and e-mail addresses. I think the Z700 together with a Palm m515, or future models (ARM) based computer, see Jbed at http://www.esmertec.com/ could make a truly great combinations entertainment / contact tool. The benefits as I see it are. The Z700 offers a small compact phone, colour screen and the right tools, which enable you to connect via bluetooth to other devices, e.g. PDA, PC or headset. This leave the phone in your pocket for most of the time, what more could we ask for? So it is not tri band and there is no SD card slot, the SD comes with the Palm m515 (ARM) The problem is, technology marches on and we can’t hope to keep up, not even if we had a very large wallet, and I for one have to put the brakes on.

Emmm this phone is a Z7 outside - T68 inside! The screen is exactly the same with T68 and does not have 4096 colours but 256. It also does not have IRda nor MMS...
Games and Java craps.... I think these are for kiddies.
Finally, this phone is a square box with a flip... ugly... |

Well, this Z-700 is set out to be a "gaming-device",..thats probably also why its "looks" are a bit like e.g. Playstation 2 : Dark, square, edge-design. I believe thats the intention
Its very different from the other 2 new ones- P-800 and T68i.
I find it quite nice to see something different. They dont have to look-alike all of them.
