The phone is good - but what really puts me off is the battery. If you log on to the net for just 5 minutes - the battery drains away. SE should have done far more homework on the battery- would not recommend it - unless you want to show off to people !
The k500 has come out which is much cheaper and has the features which 90% of users of the k700i would be happy with .
Another problem is the extortionate amount SE charges for replacement panels- about 4 times what Nokia charges.
My humble LG 2130 has much better sound quality and battery life than this phone. For that matter- lower end SE phones - eg T310 have much better battery life too. No point upgrading a phone- without upgrading the battery.
Think carefully before spending money on this handset.
