Hello!

I'm afraid I havent been at esato for a while, but its time to buy a phone, so I'm here. I just needed ur advice on getting a new phone. I have some priorities when getting a phone though:

Bluetooth
Megapixel camera (at least)
MP3 player & Radio (optional)

I was looking at Siemens SL65, Siemens S65, Nokia 7610, and the new SE phone.

Anyone have any tips? Any preferences? Which one is better. I need a small phone.

I prefer a Symbian phone but Siemens SX1 doesn't have a megapixel camera, and the Nok7610 is not all that great.

Please help me out here

Thanks in advance.

hi there! if you can wait, go for the S700. but if not, a k700i would be great. if you want a non-SE phone with camera, i heard that the nokia 7610. Cheers and have a great day.
are you on the list?

The K700 isn't a megapixel camera, you should have a look at the S700, his design is much better than the 7610 and so will be the screen.

I think S700 has the best 1.3 mp camera of all gsm devices. So, if camera is priority you shoul buy this one. Would also love if this phone would run symbian.

Wait for the Motorola MPx220. I have my eyes on that. I'm also keeping an eye on the S700i... Its a tough choice...

I don't think that S700i will be a symbian phone, will it?
On the other hand I would get the k700i now (which I did ) and then wait for the F900.

The s700 is the only one with a CCD sensor and proper exposure controls, so there´s no doubt about which to choose...

Wow! Esato has grown immensely since the time I joined -- Thanks a ton for all the quick replies

Ok back to the topic -- is the S700 out yet? The phone looks ace from the SE website... looks like a proper camera!

Also, I'd assume it has mp3 --- which CAN be listened to over a pair of headphones??

I wont be too worried if it doesn't have Symbian -- its features look good enough.

Need some info about Siemens S65 too please. Basically the same questions apply to this phone as the S700.

Thanks in advance for the replies...
