> K700i vs S700i
Bookmark topic
back to the original subject, I haven't actually used the K700i yet, but I love my new S700i. I guess the main thing is the mpixel camera and the display, which as you know is better quality and larger. Also having the duo port means if you get a 128 meg card and the right software, you can easily watch films on it as I am now doing. I'd say its only really worth it if you will use most of the features the k700 doesn't have, otherwise they're only really gimicks....

On paper the differences seem minor but the experience of using them both is quite different. After using the lovely screen for a while, going back to the K700 is a wee bit difficult for me. The size doesn't bother me, it hardly pulls my pants down when in my pocket. .

@rudeboy....you honestly think the k700 is well constructed?apart from the brushed aluminium batt cover...all remaining mechanical/cosmetic components are probably dirt cheap(especially the keypad and joy).the s700 is leaps and bounds ahead,and that's reflected in its price.

Where does this nonsense about the S700 being overly large come from? I have been using the S700 for several months now and quite frankly I have no problem with its size. I think it is a very nice size in fact, it bucks the trend of manufacturing mobiles for midgets. Why do people feel the need for a mobile phone that is small enough to be lost in the pocket of a flea wearing very tight trousers?
What is it that you need more than a 128 MB memorystick for? 128 MB is perfectly adequate for storing pictures, etc. If you are looking to store a lot of music then I suggest you buy a dedicated music player, the S700 does not market itself as one.

it has exactly the same battery life as the k700i.
Does it? My S700 has a much better battery life than my K700.

does it do anything in terms of applications that the k700i doesn't? but it doesn't have symbian or anything and i can't find anything in the menus about it, they seem exactly the same as the K700i.
The S700 has never been marketed as a smartphone and it uses the same excellent UI as the K700.

... my 5mp camera takes better pics, and if i knew this was the only difference, i would have stuck to the k700i, and probably will unless i missed something.
Well of course a 5 MP camera will take better pictures than a 1.3 MP camera, that is just common sense.
Perhaps you should have done a little research on the S700 before you bought it. I bought my S700 after I bought my K700 and although I am very pleased with them both I use my S00 far more than my K700.
The S700 has far superior build quality in my opinion; the screen is better; it has expandable memory; it has arguably the best camera of any cameraphone outside of Japan and Korea and of course there is the design. The design is very eye catching and I have received quite a few admiring comments from people about my S700.

@Scotsboy. I couldn't have put it better myself. You can't really compare the all metal finish of the S700 to the finish of the K700. They are in a different class altogether.

I used a K700I for a month before i got my S700I and the S700I beats it hands down, i dont know if you have a faulty battery with yours but the S700i battery lasts way way longer than the K700.
Yeah theres not much between the phones in terms of what they do but the build quality is far better .
The main reason i got the s700 was for the camera and huge screen , i know its only a 1.3 mega pixel camera but for taking pictures when your out and about it i think its realy good and beats having to carry a digital camera about with you everywhere..
At the end of the day its up to personal taste and what you want from the phone, if you want a small phone with a decent camera then yeah got for the k700 but of you want better build quality bigger screen good camera and expandible memory then s700i is the phone to go for.

by the way, i also found out that hte k700i has some software that makes the pictures better, although not as good as 1.3mp, still very good.
... what is that "some software"? is it a java-enabled software that installs on the phone?
