One of the best phones in it's days!

Pros
The size, the looks, one side camera, one side phone look, display because it was great when it was released, especially compared to T630 display. MP3 player, the best VGA 0.3 MP digital camera with video recording back then with image interpolation up to 1.3 MP. Led flash, which was very bright and strong, 41 MB of shared memory.

Cons
Horrible battery life, I mean it was really awful, for such multimedia phone to have such weak battery. Absence of memory card slot, for expansion, that would make inbuilt MP3 player useful. Joystick, which had a short life, especially in the hands of heavy gamers. Night shots, in spite the presence of the flash, but then again it's VGA camera, you can't expect more from it.

Conclusion
Once again, it was a good phone in it's days, offering MP3 player, 41 MB of shared memory, VGA camera, excellent display, small size and great looks. It was a huge jump from the very popular T610 & T630 at that time. This was my first Sony Ericsson and since I came from Nokia 3100 to K700i, I don't have to tell you my excitement. Looking at it now it was just a shape of things to come, like S700i, K750i, K800i, K850i!

Verdict
3 (out of 5)
