Important update Couple of days back lost my bluetooth and found that, battery life has increased significantly...So, the bluetooth has been the culprit...Excluding that, most of the following review stays, as it is...
Have been using Sony Ericsson K700i for more than 6 months.
Here is what is the long term view of this piece of beauty..
Looks / ergo - Quite nice. Very bright screen, excellent resolution.
Usage - This is what you have to live with; once the infatuation wears off..
Phone no search ...takes ages, you can only jump to the first letter and then scroll down (may be scroll would be better in few cases). Should learn from Nokia.
Short cut key configuration - very nice feature
Bluetooth / radio - very efficient and quite nice (I am using HBH 600, got this as a replacement, after my older HBH 65 went kaput).
Camera / video - Excellent. Have got few amazing snaps and last year recorded lap # 1 @ Monza F1 - amazing stuff..
Things bugging me -
Once in a while, the contact info disappears, no clue how that happens, you will just have the name and nothing else...really irritating stuff.
Recently mobile reboots on its own.. earlier it used to happen, while receiving the phone and then you would not know who called you - the no wont be stored in received / missed calls. Of late, the frequency of reboot has gone up - like once or twice in a day...
And since last few weeks, I need to charge mobile, at least once a day, if not once - not that, I use so much.. my talk time / day would be about 60 mins or so..
If any of you know what to do with this problem, pls let me know.
So, net-net, if you want a fancy stuff - go ahead and buy; but, if you want a phone, well look around..
