[DEFINITIVE]Sony Ericsson K700i Thread

[sambrentnall]

nice i was thinking about putting europe the final countdown on he he he

[Timmah Veteran]

I want Back in Black or Sweet Child o'Mine as my ringtone. Just need something to do the transferring. Want the dock, but its about ?20 inc. postage...

I need money for Xmas shopping really... I'm only 18 and earn a measely ?30 a week (ok so I dont do that much work hehe), so every penny counts!

A soddit. I'll order later! There's no Christmas this year kids!

[sambrentnall]

thats the same as me i cant afford to buy anything to do it so im just going to use my work laptop it has bluetooth on it so i can send some mp3's to it then

[Timmah Veteran]

Lucky bugger. ?20's bloody steep for a firmware upgrade and some customizations! Probably worth it in the long run though. I'm guessing the list of fixes in the R2L firmware make it seem like a whole new phone!

[sambrentnall]

wohooo i can recieve mp3's thre infra red on my dad laptop i for got it had it he he he i only got my phone yesturday and its got the latest firmware on it already but i realy want to flash it to get rid of all the t-mobile logos and buttons all over it

[Timmah Veteran]

You have R2L?

[sambrentnall]

no R2AA003 i thought that was the latest

[Timmah Veteran]

Ah I see. R2C is the Orange thingamabob. K.

> * < < * < * is always handy to find out your firmware version guys!

[sambrentnall]

i would check now but im sending some songs and themes to mine threw infrared its a bit slow only 90% of my first song lol

[sambrentnall]

[sambrentnall]

[Sporkguy]

We may as well carry this thread over to k700world :)

'What ringtone do YOU use?" heheh

I use a tune called 'I Think I Smell A Rat' by the White Stripes (i'm a huge Stripes fan, have been for almost 3 yeas now.. gee i'm geeting old!)

for my alarm I use Two Timing Touch and Broken Bones by The Hives... as you can tell i'm a big alternative music guy :)

[Razorwing]

It sounds that way mate :(

You can always import a cheap sim-free one from Hong Kong or the UK - what GSM band does Canada use?

I have no idea man.. is the s710a that good? I've never even heard of it.. :crazy:

edit: I don't really like the look of it..

[sin-ergy]

heh i must be the only one who likes the swivel design. it's the k700 but better :D

[Sporkguy]

I read a review that said the S700's UI was a lot slower and laggier than the K700's - and claimed it was a bad porting issue of SE's - however, it has a megapixel camera so it has some benefits.

[sin-ergy]

good review of it here:

[DerkPY]

Great phone, but I hope O2 get their update sorted for it soon.

[Razorwing]

I made up my mind guys.. I'm not gonna get the phone.. it's gonna be the T237

according to specs, it has a longer talk time, which I need, but the down side is, is that it has no camera. But according to the fido plan, I can pay $125 and get the phone free. Sounds good too me.. :) if anyone wants to presuade me, go ahead. :)
