My choice would be SonyEricsson K700i. This is more matter of taste than hardware specifications. Reason I would choose SE is that it has proven itself to be very stable phone with stable platform. Nokia has always had some issues with their phones while SE has not. I had a lot of phones and I must confess that SE phones have proven to be the best!

seriously, i know a lot of people have been saying the k700i but the 7610 is so much better. the k700i rivals the 6230, this is a much better phone. the camera is top notch, its symbian os (which means it'll run real apps) and can take mmc cards (1gb storage for your mp3's etc...)

dont ask me anyways, just compare the features. in the uk the k600i is much cheaper than the 7610.

It's not the battery life that sucks, per s? - but more the battery meter.

Ooh and some have reported 40% more battery from the new firmware, that or they fixed the meter!

Besides. With your K700i you'll want to charge it daily as the new Li-Ions prefer SHALLOW charges, and full depletion can be harmful and damage the battery! So recharge often!:))

I'm using the latest firmware for my K700i - and I get a good 4-5 days charge, even with BT switched on all the time.

Ok so we don't have a symbian OS - but in a style phone all you need is a bit of functionality, which the K700i provides nicely.

again, you can't really compare these phones directly.

I wouldnt say it was slow.

There is a short delay etc, but believe me you can live with it. I haven't even updated my firmware yet either!

Hint: Get it on Orange as you'll then be able to update your firmware, certain providers don't let you do so.

I hosted a forum on my webspace for a while - http://www.k700world.info - didn't last long but there's a load of info there, including firmware change logs and compatability.

Just my 2 cents - have used the K700i for over 6 months now. Battery life is over 6 days, no firmware upgrades here. No delay in the menus as reported by some people. Going for a P910i soon now - it's the only phone I could possibly want to swap my baby for ;)

Granted Nokia has market share, but a Sony is a Sony !

    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

      It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
