Sony Ericsson K700i Unlocked Cell Phone with MP3 Player--International Version with No Warranty (Si

What can I say? Read the online reviews and you will find that this is one GREAT phone. The screen is gorgeous. Reception is WAY better than T610 on exact same network. A lot of people complain about battery life. With the newest firmware (R2L0001) this is not an issue. Bluetooth is fast and reliable. Syncs out of the box using iSync on the Mac. Menu navigation is fast and responsive. Get this phone, you will NOT be disappointed.

P.S. I use it with T-Mobile in the US

This phone will work with both T-Mobile and Cingular in the U.S. (all you need to do is take the sim card out of your current phone and transfer it into your new phone)

I have owned this phone over a year now and I still love it. I had a steep requirements list that is still not met by many other models. I paid over $300 to buy it slightly used from europe, now it can be had much easier and cheaper.

It replaces my previous Handspring/Palm Treo. Via Bluetooth, it easily syncs all my contacts and calendars with my computer. I never needed to enter a single phone number.

I made custom ringtones simply out of mp3s and assigned them to different people who are calling. No need to have an annoying phone that plays a computerized version of a song, this one plays the real thing. You may wish the convert the mp3 to mono and 56bps to conserve space.

The phone comes with 36MB of space which is still much more than almost every other phone on the market, more than enough for the average user. Once you take photos and videos, you can easily transfer them to your computer via bluetooth.

Another big plus is the thousands of free java games that you can download and place on the phone from the internet. Get away from the horrible selection and charges that your phone service makes you deal with.

This phone is small, durable, has a beautiful screen, more features than you need. The camera and video quality is much better than other phones of the same resolution.

Th FM radio pulls in more stations than I think any other radio I've used. That said, I never use it, because you are required to use the included headphones which I never bother with.

Someone mentioned this does not have a speakerphone. It absolutely does have a speakerphone and it is loud and good quality. It uses the same rear speaker for listening to music and its excellent mp3 ringers.

Mac users can use its bluetooth out-of-the-box for syncing and transferring files.

PC users can download free software off of sony's website to do the same. With the additional USB charging cradle, you can also update the phone's firmware to keep it up-to-date. (Ignore earlier reviews of a slow interface and short battery life, these have all been fixed with free firmware updates)

I've had this phone nearly a year and have, up to this point, been very pleased with it. As all the reviews before me have said, this phone has many great features, looks good, and is a great buy.

I am disappointed though that my center joystick button has been getting progressively less functional over the last 2 months, and has finally stopped working entirely. With that button out of commission, I can't access any of the features of the phone (except the camera), including my phone book, messaging, calendars, etc. The phone is thus useless.

That said, I am looking for another of the same model to replace it and praying for better durability this time around.

Want Sony Ericsson K700i Unlocked Cell Phone with MP3 Player--International Version with No Warranty (Si Discount?

But make sure you get the latest firmware (R2AY004). The unlocked K700i I bought online had 13 month old firmware (R2AE033) which was never updated. This caused a hissing sound on voice calls and made the phone lock up every time I disconnected the bluetooth on my Palm T5 and Zire 72 after surfing the web on these PDAs. Rather than returning the unit to the online retailer, I sent my K700i to the Sony Ericsson repair center in North Carolina. SE updated the firmware (for free)on my K700i and I got the phone back a week later. I no longer have any issues and the phone works great.

What a phone! This phone has lots of features. The screen is absolutely gorgeous. Reception is great on the T-Mobile network here in NYC and suburbs. On my T610, I was only getting 1-3 bars in my house and sometimes I would get dropped calls. Now I get 4-5 bars at all times and reception is great. Moreover, with the updated firmware, Bluetooth works great on my PDAs and bluetooth headset.

Some people complain that there is only 41MB of memory on this phone. This is more than enough memory for me since I'm not using this phone as a PDA. I have transferred via Bluetooth a few of my MP3s from my PC to the K700i and use them as ringtones. The K700i is a great MP3 (or MP4 and other formats) stereo player. This is why people would love to have an expansion slot on this unit: they want to turn this phone into their MP3 player. Furthermore, the FM radio works pretty well too. But you need to use SE's wired headset (which is included) to get stereo sound from them. As a bluetooth geek, I don't like wires. But you may not mind. The camera is a big improvement from the T610 and actually takes decent pictures. Setting up wap and MMS on the phone was simple. Just go to Sony Ericsson's website and answer a few questions and you'll get all the settings for Wap, MMS and Email. SE sends a text message within a minute straight to your phone. I set up my Email manually as I didn't want another Email address. IMAP4 and SMTP works fine, as well as the Wap browser. I'm shocked by how well it works. Battery life is not that great. I have to charge it every day for 90 minutes. But then again I keep the bluetooth on at all times. Fortunately, all my accessories from my T610 work on my K700i, including my car charger.

Again, just make sure you get the firmware updated to the most recent version. At the moment, that is R2AY004. If you do that, you'll discover that this is one magnificent phone. I'll never buy a locked phone again.
