Sony Ericsson K700i (2005)

Love this phone! – I absolutely love this phone!  I've had it for a little over a year and a half and have never had a single problem with it.  Truth be told it has taken a couple of tumbles (onto concrete no less) and seems to take it in its stride.  To start with the phone has a very simple design, isn't too big or too small and fits easily into your hand.  The… Read more

screen is large and brightly lit and it has a simple and well though out menu.  I've had Sony Ericssons for years and am used to their joystick, couldn't be without it now.  The tech specs are VGA camera with video recording and flash(4x digital zoom), 65k colour TFT display, Triband, Built-in 41MB RAM, FM radio, MP3 music player, Bluetooth, Infra-red, Java,  SyncML and 40-voice polyphonic ringtones.  The camera is pretty good, obviously they're never the same as a digital camera but I have taken some good quality snaps.  It has a night mode for low lighting, digital zoom, frames that you can apply to pictures and a host of effects like sepia, panorama and b&w.  I've always had great battery life on this phone, and when it goes flat it's because I rarely charge it and forget about it.  Keys are easy to use and illuminate.  WAP is easy to use. Overall I absolutely love this phone and would recommend it to anyone. Big bright screen, camera, mp3s, easy menu, joystick, long battery life. Nothing whatsoever

Good – The K700i was a great phone for its time. It was a solid, reliable model with a good set of features like MP3 playback, FM radio and Bluetooth. Accessing the functions on the phone is done by using the joystick controller in the centre of the phone. Unfortunately, this controller has a tendency to wear out after a while, making it difficult to… Read more

use the phone properly. The Sony Ericsson K series have always been known as top quality, feature packed phones and the K700i was no exception. It did a lot of things right that many phones today still struggle with. Decent feature set, Solid build construction, Reliable performance Camera was only VGA resolution

Good – This is one of my best phones I ever had. In some ways looking back at it, I can see the Apple's Iphone 3G not even able to get some basics like this phone. There is option of bluetooth and IR data transfer, Iphone doesnt have. It has MMS and Video recording, Iphone doesnt. So in a way this phone is pretty smart. It is pretty handy and a good size… Read more

to keep in the pocket. I still have this phone and felt it was worth every cent I paid. The only downside was the controller stick looses its effectiveness after long abuse and it be hard to access the menus. Great phone by Sony Ericsson. Has almost everything for a everyday phone. the centre joystick becomes not sensitive

OK – Overall it was a good phone, with good features, but lacking a decent camera and dust would still come behind the plastic over the LCD screen. The Sony Ericsson K700i was a good phone, and vast improvement from the T610/T630 style phones, better bluetooth, better keypad layout and car kit connectivity, even some new cool features such as… Read more

presentation which you could connect in to your computer via bluetooth and control presentation's via the phone's joystick. The downsides were that the screen was hard to see in the daylight, the joystick, like previous Sony Ericsson models, failed on occasion.

Good – K700i is really simple multimedia mobile. Have a good camera quality ( I mean standard, not like K750i with 1.3 MP autofocus ) . The storage memory is enough, even without slot external. FM frequency is strong. I want to buy one, because my friend, my brother, & other family have one. But I have K508i that cheaper & lower than this. Thank you. 65k… Read more

colour TFT display & MP3 music player. This camera phone doesn't have great Operating System like O2.

replacement parts and excessories.Large screen made it easy to enjoy pictrures and video's. I would recomend this phone to any one that wants good functions and something easy to use . I could listen to the radio when ever i wanted. Joy stick played up.

Excellent – Excellent camera, best mp3 quality you can get on a phone, 65,000 colour screen with TFT which enhances the clarity. easy to use joystick, buttons are easy to use, even with big fingers. Extravagant design that is smooth and the overall weight is around 90g. Features Bluetooth which makes it easy to connect with other devices such as computers,… Read more

other phones and laptops, etc. Features radio and video streaming. On my K700i I got 2hours and 47 minutes of video and i still had 2.4MB of memory left. The phone features 42MB of internal memory which is plenty for photos, video, messages, ringtones, and many other different types of media. Overall this phone is the best i have ever had! the phone features an excellent quality screen and easy to use features. The company doesn't advertise it, but the k700i has a 1.3 megapixel camera which also does video. Stunning design and it is hard to damage. the rubber flap on the bottom of the phone gets deformed if not treated with extreme care.
