[DEFINITIVE]Sony Ericsson K700i Thread

[+John Teacake MVC]

Hi all, I have seen over the past few weeks that there has been quite a few threads asking questions about the Sony Ericsson K700i Phone. I have started this thread where you can discuss/ask questions about the K700i rather than starting a new thread users can search this thread to see if anyone has asked/answered the question they were going to post. Use this thread to post links/information anything you think other Neowin members will find useful. Tell other Neowin members where they can get the best deal on this superb phone.

Here are some of my useful links :

i really want this phone but i only like pay as you go phones and i was wondering if you know when it is coming out on pay as you go, preferably Orange or O2

[timsweb]

It is out for pay as you go,

Buy it online direct from Sony Ericsson. Sim Free. Thats probably the better option. That way you can use the online update service without the hastle of it not supporting 02 phones.

Sony Ericsson e-shop.

Something odd happened with my k700i this morning.

I switched it on, and I got a txt from my mate - instead of it usually just beeping and showing the little message icon (in the orange menu, by scrolling up twice on the desktop) - it actually showed a picture of my mate which I had assigned to his number, and underneath it said 'text message received from Gibbo, read now?' - its NEVER done this before!! Does this happen to anyone else?

[+John Teacake MVC]

Maybe he sent you a picture message. I'm Not sure seems strange though.

On an unrealted note does anyone have any good wallpaper/theme/ringtone sites for the K700i.

[Sporkguy]

Wallpaper/theme I use is the Animated BMW M5 one - with the flashing headlights, it's most elite :D

I use Jet's Are you gonna be my girl as my ringtone.. sounds bloody good on the k700i

[+John Teacake MVC]

Does anyone know what size the wallpaper needs to be for the K700i. Maybe people could make some wallpapers and post them in here. I would like to see what other people have as wallpapers on there phones.

[Sporkguy]

128x176 I believe

[epple]

Mobile9 Gallery has alot of WPs, Themes, Ringtones and some games for the K700i + other models. :)

An official Theme Maker from SE can be found here. It requires registration, but SE has a great developers resource database, so it's worth it.. (Y)

I made a theme for my phone some time ago, but I'd like to share it with you guys now... :happy: (just remember where you saw it first.. :shifty:)

LOL! I know Hays. I live in Banbury! :cool: ...Weird!!

What networks do people recommend.. i wouldn't mind going on O2 contract cos that has my kinda deal i want.. 500free txt's and 100mins for ?25 a month. But orange doesn't do something like that only 120mins and 250free txts for ?25 a month, which isn't as good... So ill probably go on O2 unless orange change there plan and prices.

Also do O2 phones come branded with the O2 logo on the bottom where it says Quickshare, i know orange ones do and i dont really want that i know on the o2 site it shows it without the o2 logo so i wil have to wait and se:p:p

[XiXora]

only thing o2 do to their k700i is put an o2 symbol on the upper left hand menu icon. else its an unlocked phone

[sjiggag23]

my sister had a t610. i hated it and wished it would explode. is the k700i any better?

[+dave164 Subscriber¹]

course its better.

On the GPRS can u go on neowin and post forum posts and stuf?

Im achually started to turn towards the c500 but dislike the idea of sd cards

also can u get email and stuf, cheers

edit: how many megapixel is the camera of the k700i and does anyone have any examples of pics they have taken

[blik]

I absolutely love my k700, the only *slight* quirk that I've got is that my Quickshare sticker fell off and is lost... Seems its happened to loads of people though...

[+dave164 Subscriber¹]

i think im gonna go with the c500 cos it has sd cards and instant messenging and loadsa other quality things....

[timsweb]

Well, on the K700i you can use instant messenging, when u enter the url, put:

http://mob.e-messenger.net.

Its the mobile version of emessenger, which is web-based msn,

I beleive it is about 1.28 or simiar. Its definately over 1MP. I would post some pics but as I say I have just send my phone off for a firmware update.

[hanxuuk]

No, not a megapixel phone, it physically only has a VGA camera (0.3 mp), the reason u can take picture upto 1280X*** is because K700 expanded the picture digitally. So physically it's a 0.3 mp phone, but softwarely it's a 1.* mp phone.
