Sony Ericsson K700i

I am using my K700i phone for last 1 year and bought it when it was just launched in India.

Hence I have quite lived with the phone and the fact that even after advent of so many models, I am raving the chant of 700i tells the awesome quality of the phone.

Sony Ericsson wins hands down with new generation phones with sexy look, awesome picture quality and sweeetest sound ( beats nokia by miles ) and K700i started all that. Till date I proudly hang around with my cool phone and that prompts me to recommend the phone.

Pros :

1. Excellent interface and menu system : The more you use it, more you get used to it. It resembles windows type navigation using joystick

   
   




2. Picture quality : even with VGA mode, it captures awesome photos. Very bright compared to others ( only samsung is brighter )

   
   




3. Video: Which other phones at this cost gives you such long video length ( Nokia 6600 records only 9sec clip ) with such great quality

   
   




4. Sound Quality : MP3 enabled and the ringtones sound sweetest when ringing. Beats nokia again

   
   




5. Looks : Slim and sexy. Very small - dual faced.

   
   




6. Joystick : Very light to handle, very responsive

   
   

7.Organiser : very powerful, have calender, reminder, task, note. You can even show the note on your desktop in standby. This feature is very handy.

1. FM radio : Superb clarity when used with headphones. The sony handsfree earphones produce rich and clear sound. Trademark sony quality

   
   




2. Game / Music DJ : The tennis game is real ADDICTIVE, try it to believe it. musicDJ is nice timepass

   
   




3. Powersave mode : This is the most un-advertised feature. When used in powersave mode, bright display stays in stand-by mode when not used. Nice way to save battery

   
   




4. Connectivity : Blutooth , InfraRed & USBcable support feature provided

   
   

Cons :

1. No extra memory card:You need this man when you get the superb camera. But trust me 41MB storage is not less.

   
   




2. Battery : Can’t help guys, all digital LCD screens consume battery ( camera owners will agree ) esp if the screen is bright

   
   




3. No 3rd party software download : you cannnot download 3rd party software

   
   

Overall k700i is a true great quality phone. If you are ok with transferring pictures to computer using IR port or bluetooth then k700i is great. Nowadays its around 10.5K and value for money. One thing is sure, I am hooked to Sony now, and will look forward to W550i or W800 generation phones in future
