maybe those two shouldn't be compared but im deciding which one to get. so please help me.

I know that the SE k700 needs flashing and I haven't got a clue where to take it. How about the v80? does it need flashing (software upgrade) as well???
My summary of two phones:

k700
PROS-light, good size, 1Mega pixel camera, good functions
CONS-software upgrade, and may feel plasticky /not as good quality, battery life ( its ok.. i think. cuz i don't use my phone that much anywayz)

v80
PROS-the special lights (girly thing.. but im female. so it makes sense), and rhythm stuff, the swivel feature (coolness factor)
CONS-features aren't that great, camera ain't that good, scroll button is stiff(seriously)

btw, Im NOT a nokia person.. so please don't recommend me a nokia .. haha. thanks!

THANK YOU ALL IN ADVANCE!!! any help is greatly appreciated!!!

Personally, I'd go for the K700, it is a quality phone, and it doesn't necessarily need a flash upgrade. I have the first firmware of the phone and I am not going to flash it, as I have no problems with it. Also, try and get an unbranded one if you do get one, this will probably be best in the long run.

I've tested a v80... Freezes a lot! I wouldn't recommend it.

yeah. i was meaning "unbranded" for both of them. so does that mean the k700 is better?

I'd take it over the v80.. SE is soooo reliable...
